I Have Read People Complaining About The Villain Designs In My Adventures With Superman And Getting Mad

I have read people complaining about the villain designs in My Adventures with Superman and getting mad that they are all now tech based or "too pretty" or whatever. I think they may be missing the point. This is their villain origin stories. Livewire is implied to be getting her powers and mutating into the blue haired electric fiend we love as well as Silver Banshee perhaps getting real powers of her own down the line. Slade hasn't fallen from grace as Black Ops to pull himself back up as an unstoppable mercenary yet (and I think the comparisons to Dick Grayson adds on even more complications to his weird rivalry with Nightwing). We aren't that far into the series, and we haven't seen very much of these characters yet, this is the beginning of Superman's era in this world.

Who else is disappointed by the Rhea Island/ending of Frontiers a bit. All of this buildup with Cyber Corruption and he just kinda. goes into a frozen state like an 06 load screen? Somehow his friends know how to save him without any clues? The robots respawned suddenly? No one talks about a young girl dying? Supreme boss fight was a let down as well. My brother played the whole game within 3 days and found that the Supreme just sort of. to put it bluntly. sucked.

I liked the voice acting and the lore building, the open world seemed a bit...too open? if that makes sense (i still believe playable hub worlds like Adventure1 should be back), but I found it fine. I had fun. But the ending sort of felt like they blew through their money and time before Sega enforced the deadline on them. It's hard to explain, as I have forgotten mostly everything past Knuckles' island and parts of Tails' (forgive me. I was having a very stressful week).

I hope that any DLCs that come out can give the game plenty of replayability and perhaps give us more characters to play as (I really want to play as Amy again, i loved her hammer vault)

Out of all of Amy's outfits, I had always liked her Riders outfit the most. It's simple yet stylish and fits her active lifestyle of joining Sonic's adventures and looking cute doing it. This outfit followed closely by her Boom outfit.

Help Me Keep My Service Dog, organized by Makana Boger

Hi, my name is Makana, and this is my service dog, Buddy. He has assisted me with my medical… Makana Boger needs your support for Help Me K

I know this is a little bit out of the ordinary for me, but this is serious. An online friend of mine, Makana, needs help paying for a lawyer to keep her service dog. She has severe mental health complications that would make it extremely difficult for her to function without Buddy, who she's had for over 5 years now. She's currently preparing for a nasty court case between her and her mother over the custody of Buddy. (See site for more details) Anything you give goes towards her lawyer. If you can donate any margin of money, whether that be 20 dollars or just mere cents, it would be greatly appreciated. If you can't donate, it's fine, that's okay, but PLEASE reblog for reach, or make your own post if you must. I don't care what you do, as long as it's something.

Welcome to Hellmart

The service dog community is in an uproar. Walmart has started selling service dogs vests in their physical stores and the marketing for the product is reckless. Walmart is one of the most dangerous stores you can take a service dog because employees are directly instructed not to interfere with fake service dogs.

Legally in the United States businesses are allowed to ask two questions to dogs coming in:

1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?

2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

When employees are instructed not to interfere with ANY animal coming into their stores they are putting real service dogs at risk of being attacked (emotionally traumatized, physically maimed and sometimes killed).

This product they are selling is by a company called Paws & Pals

It is advertised as being a “Service Dog Jacket Support Harness” The product description says it comes with two side pocket sleeves to “Display their service registry certificate and tags.” The description also says it’s “Best for physical assistance & emotional support dogs – Also great for dogs with tactical and military experience” It is advertised as a “TRAINING VEST: Animal harnesses and vests are great for training regular, service, and working dogs alike – Designed for service animals but can be used for all dogs and puppies”

If you can’t tell how hazardous this marketing is let me spell it out for you:

It is clearly being marketed as a service dog jacket/vest/harness. It is not illegal to sell service dog gear. It is illegal to fake a service dog and depending on the state punishable by fines and jail time.

It is highly unethical to put this type of gear on a dog without proper research into if that dog is physically and mentally suitable for going into public. It is also highly unethical to put any gear on an animal without ensuring that gear is safe for them to wear and work in. This is advertised to the general public and gives the impression that it is safe to use for these purposes when in reality it is not.

Websites that advertise service dog registration in the United States are scams. There is no governing body that registers service dogs for the United States and the ADA clearly states they do not require registration. Most SD handlers do not have any certification/registration papers. It has been proven time after time that when people present these papers for their fake service dogs to businesses it causes these businesses to deny access to real SD handlers who do not have them.

This harness is being advertised as suitable for mobility assistance. This is extremely dangerous. This harness type is ABSOLUTELY NOT SUITABLE FOR MOBILITY TASKS and can cause very dangerous injuries (especially if that dog is untrained and has not been cleared by a vet to perform mobility tasks)

This marketing blurs the line between Service Dogs and Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). ESAs do not require public access training and thus do not have public access rights. It is not safe to bring an ESA into a non-pet friendly place (I think the recent airline changes are enough proof of how much damage that can cause)

This marketing blurs the lines between service dogs and dogs trained in personal protection work (aka chase & bite people). Real professional handlers of military/police/personal protection dogs would not risk the ethical and legal implications of bringing their dogs into stores under the guise of being a service dog. That leaves people who are ignorant and inexperienced bringing their home-trained attack dogs into stores. It already happens. It’s not safe for the public or for service dogs and yet this product crosses that line?

The product description literally says it’s designed for service dogs but can be used for all puppies and dogs. They are claiming this hazardously designed mobility harness with the SERVICE DOG label and “registration pockets” can/should be used for any dog or PUPPY?! There is so much wrong with this product but just to make it clear, dogs should not be doing mobility tasks unless they are old enough for their growth plates to be closed and their joints and physical health has been cleared by a vet. Why advertise this to puppies?!?!

CONCLUSION

Any well-intentioned ethical person would have done enough research to recognize this product is highly faulty, but that type of person isn’t their demographic.

They are marketing towards someone who would walk into Walmart, see this on a shelf and buy it for $24 so they can slap it on their dog (or puppy) and bring them into stores.

Maybe that person just wants to bring their pet with them.

Maybe they are legitimately disabled but are uneducated and think that alone qualifies their pet as a service dog.

Maybe they are actually in the process of owner-training their own service dog and are gullible and uneducated enough to believe the dangerous claims for this product.

In any case it’s not safe, it’s not ethical and it puts people, pets and service dogs in danger.

And just as a side note, how many legitimate service dogs do they expect are coming through Walmart and buying this harness? It takes 2-3 years on average to train a service dog and program trained dogs cost thousands of dollars. Do they really think each Walmart would have a whole end cap worth of service dogs in its vicinity?

With Amy Rose not so slowly becoming the fourth member of Team Sonic/Team Hero, I was thinking about how Shade could become the fourth member of Team Dark.

Team Dark for all intents and purposes are opposites/rival possibilities of Team Sonic/Hero. Shadow vs Sonic in that they are both fast, cocky, a bit arrogant, quick thinkers, introverted, and heroic. But Sonic is more friendly, more open, informal, a bit more immature while Shadow is more aloof, more stoic, more formal, and more mature (at least on the outside).

Similar arguments can be said of Rouge vs Knuckles and I like to think that Omega can be a rival or mirror for Tails. But where does this put Amy vs Shade.

Amy is bubbly, emotional, temperamental, friendly, refuses to do bad things, and openly compassionate. Shade is quiet, robotic, cold, stoic, will do bad things for sake of good, and hides her compassion. As far as similarities can go, perhaps they are both leaders, passionate for justice, unquestionably loyal, and a bit bossy.

But aside from these comparisons, Shade is military and could probably find familiarity with G.U.N (I don't like Shadow being a G.U.N agent, but maybe a hired "consultant" for Team Dark missions). I think Shade and Shadow would be chill with each other, Omega could probably find her destructive capabilities admirable and worthy of his attention, I think Rouge and Shade could have an interesting friendly rivalry similar to Sonic and Knuckles (freedom vs duty). Shade even colour coordinates well with Team Dark!

I just really like Shade guys. I wish she could be in more things
