Well, the website and mobile app are overwhelmingly hated (just look at the reviews on the PlayStore). I think there are two major things helping Reddit: It’s easy to grasp (Lemmy has instances, dozens of different apps, etc.) and the fact that Reddit already has a community for basically everything.
The wasps you see are usually the ones only out for your food.
Yes, it’s very common (mostly) in men at that age.
Honestly, I think Gmail’s web client is pretty great. It actually has tons of power user features I found very handy in the past (like support for scripting).
First time I see that website actually working.
I have been using a multi-monitor setup for years and never had any issues. Windows will usually appear on the screen you closed them on.
I’m calling out your use of it just lays in their nature as some sort of objective truth, yes. Feel free to support the notion.
I never claimed it was an objective truth, I just believe it to be likely. Breeding is used to reinforce desired traits and I see no reason to believe that ‘inherent aggressiveness’ can’t be bred.
I’m not sure how “bred for X” is particularly relevant to your assertion that “X will Y”.
Again, likelihood. It’s possible that humans were ineffective at achieving their goal of breeding an aggressive dog for fighting but reality gives me no reason to doubt it.
Don’t you think you should?
There is neither concrete evidence for or against it. Again, I came to my conclusion by applying the same logic I apply to other bred traits.
Has it become a “systematic problem”? I’m curious as to how you’ve drawn that conclusion. Media sensationalism does not a problem make.
Judging by the statistics, it has. Pitbulls are responsible for 65.6% of reported attacks in the US, yet only make up 6% of all dogs. Whether that’s the fault of the dog or poor training from the owner doesn’t change the fact that it is a systematic problem.
I don’t think there is a proper short term solution to this problem. At least dogs don’t live forever. A gun bought now can still be used to shoot somebody in a hundred years, a pitbull, on the other hand, has an average life expectancy of 12-14 years.
No need to get personal. I don’t know what anecdotes you are talking about. Are you disagreeing with my assertion that certain breeds of dogs naturally exhibit certain traits? If not, then wouldn’t it be much more of an anomaly if a breed that was bred for fighting didn’t also possess appropriate traits? I do not have any studies to back up my statements, so I have not completely ruled out the possibility that there is no genetic basis, just found it unlikely.
Moreover, the same is true, of course, for any other dog breed that becomes a systematic problem.
Possible but unlikely. Shepherds do not need to be taught to herd. Pointers do not need to be taught to point. Retrievers do not need to be taught to retrieve. It just lays in their nature.
And even if that was the case, banning a strong breed physically capable of causing lifelong disfigurement or even death could still help reducing the amount of incidents.
I’m obviously not asking for all pitbulls to be euthanized. I’m just asking for them not being allowed to reproduce.
You only allow people who already own a banned dog to keep it. After a few years it will become obvious that anybody who owns a young illegal dog must have purchased it after the ban.
Cat bites often become infected when not treated properly. But at least they are basically incapable of killing you immediately or causing lifelong disfigurement.
There are still differences between breeds. Some are naturally less aggressive than others (or a physically incapable of causing much harm) even when not properly trained. Statistics show that pitbulls are extremely overrepresented in unprovoked attacks with major consequences.
I don’t understand the connection. Should I know this person?
Those people would still exist even you banned suits. You just wouldn’t be able to recognize them anymore.
Well, yeah, people did get angry. Just like when conveyor belts, weaving machines, and steam engines were introduced.
The hardware is good, the software sucks. It’s not even Samsung’s fault but unless you only use a few selected apps, tablet support is usually pretty bad.
And Windows update takes care of 99.9% of missing drivers automatically.
I think most people could have predicted that. Most of the things Musk removed were there for a reason (Regardless of whether they where popular with Twitter’s users or not). Mostly of economical or legal nature. You cannot simply remove them if you want Twitter to someday make a profit.
Ruby was designed to evoke joy and they absolutely succeeded. Usually, programming is mostly a means to an end to me. But using Ruby just feels so amazing, it’s almost impossible to even describe to somebody who has never used it before.
