    As cute as that sounds, for dogs, reducing separation anxiety is counterintuitive.

    The more emotional both departing and returning is. The more it hurts them when you leave, the more separation anxiety develops.

    In an ideal world, when you leave your dog for the day, saying nothing when going and a professionally distant “greetings puppy” when you return will reduce anxiety for a dog when left alone. This doesn’t work by itself; you have to teach them to be alone slowly and carefully.



  • I definitely prefer premium over my personal data being the product for “free”.

    As I get older I’m appreciating paid electronic services and content when done responsibly in exchange for a private ad-free and well done experience. But it’s taking a lot to get over my decades of conditioning assuming everything on a computer and internet should be “free”.

    I’ve enjoyed my kagi premium search trial and seeing the prices is a bit much. But getting really good search results and having the webpage or search run so fast and seeing my ad blocker greyed out because there were no ads and trackers to block is surreal this day and age.

    I just wish we had a better way of trusting telegram. The only thing encrypted by default is secret chats. I’d buy premium if it made all chats including group chats started by the user encrypted by default.
