  • We have a Boston Terrier that loves to ‘kill’ anything with a squeaker in it within minutes, including the Kong toys although they were the absolute longest lasting ones.

    What took some time was playing with the dog with the toy and convincing them not to kill all their toys. It took about 15 kong tennis balls before he caught on to the ‘no kill’ idea means even when we aren’t around. Then we moved on to regular toys where he will still take out the squeaker, but then doesn’t shred the rest.

    My steps were just getting his attention when he started to gnaw on it and say ‘no kill’ calmly and make eye contact. If he stopped chewing, or did it less aggressivly he got praise until he caught onto the idea. Then just repetition and eventually saying it about the ball when we are done playing and then about other toys too. Took a few months because he really loves to shred stuff apart.

    Although I chuckled, time to be a killjoy!

    This image is racist because Tom has east Asian caricature features of the buck teeth and closed eyes, and is in a cartoonishly small bed as east Asian people are often shorter compared to the western average height. My first thought was the the joke was that Tom has to squint, another racist trope, because the poor video card can’t handle the high resolution.

    My second thought was that he was too big for the bed, which appears to be the actual joke. Sadly it was spoiled because of the overt racism in the chosen image so it just got a chuckle for the real punchline.

  • Honestly only having two body types is the lazy part, no matter what the two types are. The best solution would be a variety of heights, weights, shoulder, waist, and hip sliders with boobs and butts and whatever else as add ons to the body shape. That should cover everyone as long as there is plenty of range on each option.

    Unless everyone is in armor, in which case two or three gender neuteal body types are fine because boobs and butts won’t be noticeable through armor anyway. Height is pretty much all that is different if everyone in the armor is in decent shape and the armor is made to fit a range of people.
