Hey /an/.
I've had shit luck the past two weeks.
Company location closed and I was transfered to a new city. Away from friends (no contact with family). Upon coming here I broke my leg painting my new place. I'm to be off of it at least another three weeks.
I have my dog with me who is a medium breed and high energy.
I use to be able to take him on one to two hour walks daily which keeps him level. Of course in an air cast with crutches this isn't an option. I've took to lunging my dog much like you would a horse to check its gait and exercise it. My dog loves it. Took to it right away. It's simpler for me because its less walking and I can keep up with him.
Are there any issues with this? It's only temporary until my cast is off and I finish my pysio. It's the only way I've found to keep him level and exercised while I heal. Obviously I have him on shorter cycles since he's doing full runs.

I don't know if it's viable for you (can you drive?), but in the country my mother often runs their three dogs beside/behind their car when she visits the cattle or horses in other paddocks.
This is only viable for her due to the remoteness of some of the dirt roads (so no cars), and the lack of prey animals in the area (they stop chasing kangaroos when called anyway).

That really is pretty shitty luck, but at least I can't see any problems with running your dog in circles. Only thing I can suggest is making sure he runs both clockwise and anti-clockwise- it's probably less important with dogs as they're much smaller and less affected by slight imbalances, but horses need to be lunged in both directions for balance and flexibility and it won't hurt him to change direction. If he likes fetch, that can also be pretty good as he's sprinting repeatedly while you're sitting still- you can get those handy toys that let you throw a tennis ball further with minimal effort too.

Thank you. I'm bad at bird identification but I'll work on it

I am definitely not a misanthrope, I love many aspects of my humanity. But whenever I really stop and think about what the human race has done do this planet, I feel sick to my stomach. I try not to focus on the news, but as much as I try to ignore it, these concerns keep coming back. Sometimes I worry how human wars and conquest will affect nature, and I understand how humans operate. We have no regard for the natural world, humans don't care about maintaining sustainability as long as the money keeps flowing in. We nearly destroyed a lot of bird populations through the usage of DDT in the 20th century, and I understand that unless the human race grows up, another large scale event might occur, and we risk losing the beautiful creatures we share our home with. I'd rather die living in a world with the animals I know and love, than watch them die slowly because of human intervention. We have no place in destroying the homes and exhausting the food sources of these magnificent animals. I've obviously been placed on this earth for a reason, I can find peace in my life through helping the birds through injury and illness, so they can be free again. I know that's what I'm here to do. Why is the human race so fucking brain dead? Can they not set what they're doing, or do they just not care?

Welp, the key is to make it so that you are happier than them. They want to be stockbrokers and swim in hookers because the rap vids tell them to.
We just need to have more fun and lighten up, but hold true to what is right, and speak out.
Have fun, make friends, and if you can show them what nature can do, they will start to understand. I've posted so many scientific plant and bug names that other people have been posting them too, do you know how much knowledge their accessibility makes?
Help people learn the sciencey names and understand that most things are named after dicks. Help them get how funny it is, that even smart people try and name stuff like that. That common sense like COMMONERS had was actually wisdom. Nobles were boggled by the way commoners did shit, but now we know that living with dogs inside your castle makes you healthy. We know that nobility is as silly as a dyed poodle, because that is what it is.

And in the long run, we have spread the means for new speciation. Hawaii wasn't covered in as many flowers as it is now. It didn't have enough constantly blooming flowers to support hummingbirds, but now it does. We are witnessing speciation. We brought dandelions everywhere and they are able to destroy our roads, and fix the soil that we so carelessly trample. They help you digest fatty food.
Nature changes, and even if life gets set back to bacteria, Keep in mind that 99% of known species went extinct in the dinosaur age. everything you know spewed from that bottleneck like a phallic champagne top.
Kids shows are coping with this. Kids know about extinction and mutation.

Is there some chemical shit specific to each person that dogs can sense that can put them off, or something like that? My dog hates me for no reason that I can discern
>family gets yorkie poo 5 years ago
>she's an angel all things considered
>loves my parents and sister, always excited to see them come home
>doesn't give a shit when I walk through the door
>we've always taken equal turns walking her/playing with her/feeding her/etc.
>I've never raised my voice at or around her or hit her, would never think to do anything that could scare her
>seriously I feel terrible when I step on bugs
>don't over-smother her with love either
>dog still shows all the body language that says she's nervous around me like whale eyes and yawning
What do

Take her to the vet and get her sterilized, regardless of whether or not she's pregnant.

I found this guy crawling across my floor this evening in my kitchen. I don't know how it got inside, but I've never seen a caterpillar inside my house before, so it was a bit of a surprise to me. I'm hoping someone could tell me what species it is and if I should put it outside and hope it survives or give raising it a shot.
For what it's worth, I'm in Western Oregon, specifically Corvallis, and the weather has been mid-40's with endless downpours of rain, so I'm worried that it would just freeze or drown if I put it outside.
(Sorry about the picture quality, phone cameras and all that)

what you've got there looks like an army cutworm.
they're a pretty common pest, but if you'd like to try your hand at raising it you'll need some plants and some dirt. They don't really eat the plants usually, they just cut the stems and kill the plant. So if you want to fatten it up you'll need lots of whatever plants it's eating.
they pupate underground I think. So dirt is a requirement for them.

Or do what I do and turn on a fan.
I literally can't get good sleep without white noise in the background.
The silence is terrifying and I can't stop focusing on tiny random noises.

That's just like my mom. It's impossible to sleep in the same room as her because it's so fucking cold and dry.

Let's talk jellyfish. Imagine you're down in the sea doing a dive, enjoying yourself and minding your own business, and you see this shit 10 metres away from you. Do you nope the fuck out?
