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)

      You’re the one who put a collar designed to elicit a fear response on your dog, then tried to justify her cowering whenever she sees a remote or hears a loud sound.

        Wait, is it that I use force on my dogs or I use a collar to exhibit a fear response?

        Maybe you want to add that I hit my dog, since you’re already making whatever you want up?

        You know what, I’m no longer of the opinion that you need to go back to school. You need therapy.

          Your collar elicits a fear response (cowering), but also gets her to break off whatever behavior you found undesirable. The trigger (vibration/noise) isn’t in itself physically painful, but it startles her. You use psychological abuse (threat of being startled) to get compliance. Then, because vibration/noise isn’t in itself painful, you disregard the psychological effect that’s causing her to cower. You alternate this with “oh, but I love on her the rest of the time”. Alternating between love and fear is an abusive relationship.

            Yes continue making whatever you want up. You definitely do not seem like an unhinged person.

              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.
