It's been a bit since I've posted on here. I've really acclimated to a lot of the puppy-isms. Mostly by managing his access to specific things around the house. For instance, since he was a baby I've had a gate blocking him from the living room. This is because he's shown a great willingness to chew on furniture and the fact that he ripped up my carpet when he was a baby.

For the most part things go okay. We spend a lot of time together (often at the expense of my own sanity). Sometimes he does his own thing while I play my Steam Deck. Sometimes we play fetch, tug of war, and other games together.

Where we come into conflict recently is regarding aforementioned living room. I've told myself since adopting him that he'll earn more freedom as he ages. And he has, in a lot of ways. But every time I try to take our chill time into my living room he immediately loses his god damn mind.

The simple fact is that I'm doing this alone on top of a full-time job. I need to unwind, especially after work, and it would be nice if I could do that WITH the dog instead of leaving him out in the kitchen with his toys.

Example. We've been up and about for the last couple hours. I wanted to get in some TV or game time so I opened up the living room and ushered him in. It started off nice. He sat down at my feet and rested his head... for about 2 seconds before he got antsy. Then he got up and wandered towards my power cords. Corrected him, he walked back over to me... and then took off at a full sprint around my entire house until he threw himself up onto my couch and I had to force him out of the living room... at which point he immediately calmed down.

I am very much looking for advice here. Where have I gone wrong in training that the living room (which has only ever been a place I bring him to try to RELAX) has become an immediate trigger for extreme hyperactivity. This same situation has recurred in almost exactly this way about 3 times now and every time it stresses me the hell out.

I switched to using the mobile browser about a year ago now. The reason was their horrid ad policy. Ads that are hours long (I sleep to YouTube so having an entire podcast episode pop up as an ad is irritating as hell), unskippable ads, and videos jumping back on the progress bar after an ad.

I put up with the app's continually degrading quality for over a decade. I won't do it again.

Recently, i've started getting this little pop up at the start of every video saying that I need to "switch to the app for a better experience." This is transparently just because their app is so god awful that people are switching to browser based. And what's worse, the button appears to be so poorly (or maliciously) designed that clicking the X button glitches the entire page out and requires a reload.

Does anyone know how to disable this. I'm using Brave browser right now but will switch if necessary just to get rid of this irritating pop up

It just needed better pacing.

Give me an epilogue season about Legosi and Haru living their normal lives, maybe include some of the beast complex stuff, and I'll be happy. A cute little slice of life miniseries.

And yes I'm late to the party. I never watched seasons 2 or 3 when they were airing because of some real life stuff.
