Picking a fight with Hasan Piker while midterms are gearing up is the dumbest fucking idea. The consultant class really is a problem when it comes to meaningful change. (TikTok screencap)

    I’d rather be the unhinged dude online criticizing using fear to get your dog to comply than the dude who boasts his dog cowers when he grabs a tv remote.

      You mean the unhinged dude making shit up, be accurate. Most of the problems you take umbrage with are things I’ve literally stated the opposite of. Your points amount to ‘nuh uh, you’re actually abusive’.

      Fucking delusional, genuinely. Work ok your reading comprehension and seek therapy.

        Abusers frequently do love their victims. I don’t doubt you love your dog, and that she loves you. Doesn’t change that you are aware she fears the remote and that you’re okay with her cowering. You make no effort to comfort her nor teach her why she shouldn’t fear a remote. The remote isn’t going to hurt her, it just reminds her of the time you used a remote to scare her. Actions speak louder than the words you type.

        Work on your understanding of classical conditioning and seek therapy.

          Oh I didn’t realize you know me in real life and have seen me with my dogs.

          What’s my dogs name, by the way? Who are you as well, seeing as you seem to know me so well?

          Ohhh, right right — you don’t know anything other than what I’ve typed and are completely delusional. Either that or you’re a bot, I’m actually inclined to believe you’re a bot at this point.

            only ever used the beeps and vibration. All I need to do is pick up the remote and she will cower. Mind you, I shower this dog with love every day and again — I’ve never once hurt her besides maybe stepping on her tail.

            Of course I don’t know you, internet stranger. All I have to go off of is what you’ve typed, which is the cycle of abuse. You love, you use fear to gain control, you go back to love. Your dog is in an inescapable situation, she obviously wants to love you, you don’t always use aversive methods to scare her into compliance, but you’re willing to. And you know it scares her, but you minimize the impact because “it doesn’t hurt” and “I give her love”.

            Am I mistaken? Did you not say that you used a vibration and sound collar on her, that she’s now scared of a tv remote and the sound of crumpling paper? What’s the purpose of such a collar? Did you think startling her was a love language? Those things exist to spook a dog and get it to comply, not reward them for good behavior in a positive way.

              Yes, you are mistaken you fucking moron. You can’t even get the order of details I gave you correctly.

              You’re a delusional troglodyte and your dogs likely dominate you on a regular basis. You’re a joke of a human.

                I’m just going off what you wrote. Still would rather be a joke of a human than the guy who emphasizes he makes his dog cower.

                  The point, you reprobate, is that some dogs are simply skittish. You can’t even recognize that you’ve misinterpreted literally everything I’ve said and conjured up your own series of events without knowing any relevant details.

                  You’re a nutjob, and an idiot.

                    So, you recognized that she was skittish, easily frightened, and still chose to strap a device designed for the purpose of startling a dog onto her? What exactly did you think was going to happen, that a skittish dog would respond positively to being buzzed and beeped by a strange device she couldn’t escape from?
