Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And as a trans person I'll also say my Costco membership isn't going anywhere. That'd also because I have a big dog and she can't afford est anywhere else.
Even though they're cheap you shouldn't feed dogs hotdogs /s
Coincidentally, I had to give a past dog pain meds after an ACL surgery, and the pills were notoriously bitter and awful. Hiding them in hotdogs worked for a little while until she tasted a pill once. We also did cheese and chicken, which again worked until she tasted a pill then didn't trust us anymore. It was a long couple weeks.
... Did people taste them? How do we know the dog meds tasted bad?
Often times dog meds are just people meds. I just looked it up and in my case we were giving her Tramadol. Once upon a time we were giving our dogs Zyrtec for allergies, but the dose was like 6x the human equivalent. We found an alternative that maybe was new at the time that was much cheaper and was a single pill dose.
Our cat was the same way. Pill pockets worked until they tasted it once. Then we'd have to switch flavors or brands.
