Experts in drug use and addiction told Business Insider, however, that taking some of the specific hard drugs mentioned in the Journal story would be risky for someone of Musk's age, particularly if they have undiagnosed bipolar disorder, as he has previously suggested he does.

The Journal reported that the 52-year-old had taken cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms over the years, including at parties, citing unnamed sources who said they'd witnessed his behavior or had knowledge of it.

There's a plant called false or mock strawberries that looks incredibly similar but tastes like you described/very bland. They have yellow flowers and a few differences but otherwise are pretty similar.

The origin of the quote is not Goebbels.

Someone else has traced the quotation to a novel by Upton Sinclair in The Profits of Religion (do a books.google.com search for the phrase and you will find it.

In short, it is highly unlikely that Goebbels said this. As is usually the case with such quotations, no one who cites it provides a source.

I called my ISP after they bumped prices by $5/month (and told me a single time on the fine print at the bottom of the PDF e-bill of their shitty app). I threatened to switch to their competition and they told me flat out "no you won't they're not as fast and you're not going to break even on setup fees for years".

Not a professional and you should reach out to a dog trainer if possible.

In the meantime, negative reinforcement will not give you the desired responses. You could end up increasing reactiveness, justifying their behavior or having them only fear and listen when you're around.

Instead a lot of the basic rules of parenting a toddler applies. Positive reinforcement and distraction techniques are preferred from trainers I've worked with. Treating the chewing is easier than responding to the aggression. But training overall will help both.

If you have something they want more, they should give up what they took.

  • Training them the leave it command can be helpful.
  • see if you can get more toys or other things they want to chew. Chewing can be a sign of boredom.
  • It may be substantially easier to train in a more neutral environment, indoors, on leash, etc (such as a room they don't normally go in)
  • as others said, keep items out of reach. Only give him things they enjoy when they are in their space (such as a create or room)

This article has some information about possessive aggression that seems to provide good information.
