We just ran the 2020 Christmas special, now you get the Orthodox Christmas Special a week late. So maybe ultra Orthodox I guess. This is the 2024 Christmas special. I got to feature multiple hats and Milei’s hair. Since I had so many characters included, this was a great time to have another installment of my long running B story of Tha Hat trying to get Space Hat back into space. I remember at least one comment on the original post about playing ‘Oh Tannenbaum’ while zooming in on the Argentinians. This was a failure of my shitty animation. It’s zooming in specifically because the Argentine hat, previously voiced by one Donald Trump Adolf Hitler was singing it. The mouth didn’t open enough and the nuance was lost. My bad.

So my worst nightmares with the dog are coming true. I had a compromise with the person I live with that was kind of making things better, but everything came crashing down the other day. Dog peed in kennel when I was at work, the piece of shit came home and freaked out on the dog. Dog was hiding under the bed and bit their hand when they were going for him. That I’d take more as a warning to stay the fuck away, but the dog who was still very attached to this person all of two days ago has just had enough of them. I’ve never seen a dog completely turn on their owner like this. I don’t know how bad things got when I wasn’t there, but it fucked the dog up mentally and I feel like shit for not being there.
He still as sweet as can be with me but there’s no fixing it with them.
I have one last attempt to rehome him in the works. Even a temporary situation so I can get the fuck out of here and take him back would be phenomenal but I have things I need to sort through before that’s possible. I truly don’t believe he’s some violent dog. He loves people and just gets super hyped to go play with them. He just took too much shit from this person and is done.
I just didn’t think it would get this bad. I shouldn’t have let them get a dog let alone a puppy knowing their temperament. I should have gotten him out of here months ago and while I did try maybe even a no-kill shelter would have been better than this. I just wanted to avoid a shelter. That was the main thing but this is a nightmare
And this all happened on the absolute worst day at work for me. Like there was no way in hell I could leave and come home.
I’m so sorry.
Obviously, ditch the person; take the dog (and cannoli).
My plan to go to work right now is to drug the dog with some dog trazadone I got from the vet and have never used. Put him in my kennel and set my phone up to send me alerts if there’s any movement in the room via camera. This is what things have come to.
Stress levels are through the roof. I can’t even imagine being such a piece of shit that they bring this out of a puppy who legit loed them all of two fucking days ago. And they think they’re the victim in all this. Not the puppy. Them. The grown adult who picked said dog out of a shelter despite me telling them repeatedly it was a bad decision and they couldn’t handle it. And it aint the first time they’ve said this crap. Like what is wrong with the wiring in an adult’s head to think that people should feel sorry for them in this situation? Almost exact quote: “Everyone feels sorry for the dog but no one feels sorry for me when my life has to revolve around him.”
NO SHIT ASSHOLE. THAT’S WHAT GETTING A PUPPY ENTAILS. NO ONE FORCED THIS ON YOU.
No shame in anyone getting rehomed, if the majority are happier afterwards.
I’ve always been open to rehoming to give him a shot at a better life, but just never found anyone willing in my small circle. Tried one of those websites. I love this dog fully and want him around, but I’m not going to subject the dog to this person and risk fucking them up to do that.
I just couldn’t handle the thought of him going into a shelter but now I’m questioning that decision. Like, maybe he would have been better off no matter how hard it was for him in the short term.
He was a real cute and sweet (still is sweet for any headaches that come him just being a puppy) little dude. Probably wouldn’t have lasted in the shelter very long if the asshole didn’t claim him. Just sucks.
Shit. That’s a nasty spot. Hope it works out as best it can.
Sorry. I have known since I was about six years old that a dog was never, ever going to in my care. Partly because I don’t really like them but also because they are way more needy than I can give.
They’re great to borrow.
Yeah, I always say “I like other people’s dogs”.
Very sorry that this is happening. When the pitty we had before our last one (a stray) bit my wife I boarded him and told the staff he was up for adoption. They had had him before when we were away and he was fine with them (and with me). Expensive but in a few weeks he was adopted. The new owner thought he was a great dog.
Good luck on finding a proper home for him.
Your story was in my mind with all this. I really don’t think he’s violent. He nips me when he needs to go out and that’s the extent of it. It’s annoying but he definitely knows the difference between play bites, annoying bites to get attention, warning bites, and then just flat out I’m going to eat your face bites. I’ve now seen them all from him I think though only those last few were directed at this asshole.
I have set up a system to record the kennel and detect any and all motion coming into the room when I’m not there. I get an alert pushed to my phone and access the video remotely. They will be aware of this if they attempt to mess with him. It’s not a permanent solution of any kind, but it hopefully deters anything stupid if I’m not there. He may cry in his kennel – plan to give him some trazadone for now to calm him. The asshole will be aware that if it gets bad at least tomorrow I will try to come home and take care of things/calm him down.
I’m not trying to provoke a situation here. Just prevent one. I need at least a temporary home for this dog though I’d just have to imagine anyone willing to take him in would be looking for a permanent pet.
If it all falls through I’ll have to consider a shelter.
And to be really blunt about all this the person who this happened to fully had it coming. The dog was acting purely out of fear from past interactions and I’ll never get the honest full story as to what happened the other night. His behavior since tells me it was bad for him because like I said, two days ago the dog (who doesn’t know better because puppy – only knows two people really me and this person) loved them. Now it’s like there’s nothing left there.
It was literally the worst possible time for this shit to happen. I was flipping out at work but couldn’t leave given the circumstances without maybe losing my job or just derailing everything to the extent that I’d never be trusted again. Just had to hope the dog was ok when I got back.
So an already stressful day for me just exploded with that into something I could barely manage and I have a pretty high tolerance for stress. At least in my view.
That truly sucks and I’m sorry to hear it. People are way too casual about the amount of responsibility a dog entails and the vast amount of patience and discipline you need with a puppy.
Sounds like you warned them but of course they ignored all that.
Here’s hoping the boy ends up in a good home.
Fuck Bro, that sucks.
Sorry to hear it.
Oh, it’s Julia Louis-Dryfus’ birthday, 65. She’s tremendously talented – and flagrantly beautiful, my Ideal Type – but there must be something in her rider, or somehow made *very* clear to interviewers and more, cuz no one talks about her being a billionaire heiress. Good on her, in the mostest of ways.
There must also be something in her blood keeping her so youthful. I’ll set up an intimate scene with her and Liz Hurley. I’ll cast Pie. He doesn’t get to *study* them or anything, that’s my specialty. But he’s got useful, delicate extraction capabilities. He can go play his organ in the background for fun.
If I was into chicks she’d be up there on my list. Not super hot but attractive and interesting.
NB. I am not into “super hot” guys either – only attractive and interesting ones.
Actually super-hot girls and boys tend to be repellent in other ways.
Have you heard her podcast? Conventional thinker.
I can’t imagine summoning enough interest in even the most attractive or interesting of humans to listen to them blather about random shit. Maybe a generational thing but I have zero interest in that activity.
Yada yada yada?

“I mentioned the bisque.”
I will say I liked Elaine way better than the chick she played on that later show I only discovered a couple years ago and followed because I thought her younger brother was hot. The writers on that show were such obvious leftists it got painful at times.
Never saw her pay cable show – Veep?
VEEP is awesome. One of the best comedies ever made, highly recommend the first five seasons.
Also, with you on the super hot girls/guys. My first wife was (and still is) really good looking, but kind of a dead fish. She just never needed to really invest in anything, I guess. Well, other than clothes at least.
New Adventures of Old Christine? I know only the title.
Pretty reductive about podcasts there.
I always hung out with crowds of weirdos and faggots and “outcasts” and “alternative” types and shit. The one time some asshole friend of a friend of a friend brought some of us to an actual trendy NYC hotspot one night I was sipping a drink and bored out of my fucking mind when some hot chick walked up to me told me I don’t belong there.
I was too surprised at the cheek to tell that bitch off. I had never had to deal with that shit before.
Yes. Mostly good writing. Not classic but serviceable. Wanda Sykes was a highlight and it’s too bad she’s turned into another poster-person for the Resistance.
?
I don’t “follow” people so I have no interest in that medium. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
I don’t post here much because I just embarrass myself. But you lot are as good as I’ve got for what passes for something like acquaintances.
My sister’s kid died today. Self-inflicted. She was 16. She’d just got her driver’s license.
I don’t know what to think. Maybe it’s a blessed world to live in that this catches us like a random stray. She had three siblings, soon to be four.
You’re always good to post no matter what state you are in. We’re used to you and no one seriously gets offended by it.
I don’t have good words for that situation. Not much anyone can really say to not make that hurt. I know plenty of people who go through serious depression and it’s real hard when you are in that state to have hope or seeing that things can get better (if that’s what happened – I don’t want to pry here).
I just hope you or your sister or anyone else involved doesn’t beat themselves up more than they should over it I guess. But yea that’s just about the worst possible thing I could imagine happening if I had kids beyond someone else doing something brutal to them.
We’ve all been 16, it’s a tough age… We wouldn’t wish that on anyone but yet it’s something we all must endure.
Good Lord, man. I’m so sorry.
Sorry. That is horrible.
π
Dreadful and deepest condolences. I second Bro’s remarks.
Whoa! EXTREMELY sorry that happened! What a tragedy. My condolences. And her parents are likely devastated as well. Wondering what they could have done to prevent it.
GS, I am so sorry.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I can’t even imagine the grief.
I can’t imagine what that’s like even when not pregnant.
My condolences.
So terrible to hear. Just devastating for the extended family.
I’ll echo what the Bro said – don’t hesitate to post.
I am so sorry. My condolences.
That’s brutal. Condolences to you and your whole family.
I am so, so sorry.
Wow, sincerest condolences.

It’s gonna be 18 tomorrow morning, with a -2 feel with 25mph wind blowing through. I imagine I’ll be one of the sacrificial lambs on dispensing duty for at least a couple of hours for it. Gloves and hand warmers, prepared.
See, I’d like to think weather like this would reduce online orders, but with drivers, the people ordering will likely *not* be the ones actually picking ’em up. So maybe they’ll be more plentiful, with folk scared to venture outdoors. I wouldn’t mind if Walmart shut it down to preserve their precious pickers. “PICKERS’ LIVES MATTER!” could be our protest sign we use indoors. Hey, it’s Indy. We’ll incorporate the Pacers.
I’m not thrilled.
Yeah our brief spell of above freezing weather ends tonight. All teens and some single digits going forward.
The Verizon clusterfuck thing this morning… the company I send my checks to (“Ting”) I thought is associated with T-Mobile but when I had to set up an “e-Sim” with them recently after buying a new phone it was a Verizon email and then phone number which confused the fuck out of me and I was hesitant to even deal but it turned out to be a smooth, easy experience.
No idea how all of that works, but I have a pretty decent, cheap plan so I don’t care.
No outages and I did get a phone call during it this morning so who knows.
I imagine that “O Tannenbaum” got sung quite a bit in Argentina in the mid-20th Century
Well. 17 out, feels like -7 with 25mph gusts. This should be a fun commute.
Be warm, glibbies.
36 here, almost no wind.

Morning.
Hey there. How are you today?
Sleep deprived.
I think my cold symptoms are fading, but I’m tired.
Good morning!

I should have gotten 200 on the first picture. My first instinct for the picture was correct, but I thought I saw a place name in the photo.
Yeah, I knew exactly what the first one was but forgot the date.
DEG posted the current deficit/revenue figures in the PM Lynx thread.
Apparently the one-month figures are the one thing that was even worse this year than last, because that’s what the MSM is running with.
https://www.newsweek.com/new-big-beautiful-bill-proposed-as-deficit-soars-under-trump-11356361
Fuck you, cut spending is, of course, not on the agenda.
The only way to combat a rising deficit due to spending is with another spending bill. I thought the Republicans were supposed to be driving us into the fiscal ditch at the speed limit.
Just need a faster printing press. It was working in Venezuela and Iran. Iran’s inflation is 72 %.
It’s not the deficit, it’s the interest on the deficit. Trump needs negative interest and we’ll be in like Flynn. Make the credit card companies pay the interest.
They just can’t help themselves.
DCβs annual MLK Jr. Day parade will go ahead as planned, despite safety concerns from some
I assume the threat is that some marchers might turn violent if they see ICE agents.
The only excuse leftists need is OMB.
If the MLK parade is on Martin Luthor King Jr Avenue steer clear, thereβs a high liklihood of gunplay.
But think of the crack party at the end on Marion Barry Avenue.

Morning all. Most definitely sorry to read some of the postings.
I find this kind of work fascinating with the mix of precision and art, but can’t imagine doing it in my old age. It’s hard enough to work a desk as I’ve gotten into my late 50s.
AI Canβt Touch These Skilled Trade Jobs. If Only Enough Humans Would Fill Them.

Sounds like a job that would not pay enough for the time required to become proficient enough to sell your work.
To elaborate – it sounds like you need a lot of practice before what you make is good enough for customers to buy, even then the market clearing price isn’t going to be favorable. So the incentive to cover the skill gap to be able to sell the work product isn’t there.
