I it’s more survivorship bias. Agressive big dogs are going to be targetted and put down more often, since they’re more of a physical threat. Small dogs likely get passed over more often.
Also, well-behaved small dogs are maybe much more common than thought to be, but go unnoticed since they’re quiet.

Yes, just like my wallet and some of a frenchman’s teeth.
- Comment on An American in Paris 1 week ago:
So these are both supposed to be from a Parisian’s perspective i think?
So the first one about not resisting pickpockets was during the Paris Olympics, but that wasn’t a general sentiment by the french at all, that was the Paris Police communicating that, and their specific reason was to keep cases of stabbings down since pickpockets often carry knives. That was not a ‘think of the pickpocket’s family’ scenario.
The second is a Frenchman or Perisian visiting the US and not tipping i think. Eh, this is an actual sentiment for - frankly even many Americans. Not great, but neither is the tipping culture itself.

It doesn’t produce them. It simply emits them. The whole body produces them as a collective effort.

- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
That has less to do with the switch 2 and its price, and more about what ‘fuck Nintendo’ has always been about: Nintendo constantly being litigious, overpriced, and a totally locked-down ecosystem. Ultimately, that’s why folks rag on nintendo. If chode didn’t sue every game spinoff out of existence, attempt to shut down tournaments not sponsored by them, and all the other variety of scandals they’ve been involved, there’d be less ragging on them in general.

- Comment on California father arrested after repainting crosswalk, adding stop signs near children’s park 3 months ago:
Nah, fuck that noise. Vigilante pedestrian infrastructure saves lives and costs the state nothing. Don’t wait for a bunch snobby beurocrats to tell you your neighborhood is unfit for support. Fill potholes. Fix sidewalks. Install stop signs where needed. Be the change, and call out the lack of action and challenge these chicken shits to do better.
- Comment on California father arrested after repainting crosswalk, adding stop signs near children’s park 3 months ago:
That is not what the article describes at all.
A city representative said officials reviewed the intersection after receiving concerns from Brandlin and determined it did not meet the requirements for a four-way stop but added pedestrian striping to improve safety.
Brandlin spent about $1,000 of his own money on commercial-grade materials, including 30-inch reflective stop signs matching the other ones on the street. He began installing them himself to replace the yellow posted crosswalk signs on the intersection in the early morning of March 14, according to the El Segundo Police Department.
Police arrested him around 1:30 a.m. while he worked on the second direction of traffic. Brandlin said the arrest was excessive, saying he was cited with multiple charges, including felonies.

- Comment on Evercade Nexus - Announcement Trailer 3 months ago:
Selling physical copies of an IP for profit. For example, tomb raider as an IP is owned by Embracer group, so they could potentially sue evercade for producing tomb raider cartridges.

Disappointing that they don’t have the specs front and center.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 3 months ago:
States have governors, towns have mayors, and in anarchist theory none of those heirarchal positions would exist. Usually, heirarchies are formed in order to complete projects and those heirarchies are supposed to disappear once the project is complete. Can’t really have a state without a legislative body dictating it.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 3 months ago:
‘Basically no one in charge’ is not exactly correct. Heirarchies are allowed to exist, but ideally should be as brief and flat as possible.
My best understanding of the end-goal is an intermeshing alliance of small democratic collectives working together to provide for one another. This type of system has existed previously, such as with the various tribes across the Americas which often traded and collaborated with one another. In contrast with previous times, there is vastly more understanding of how the world works now, and thus many more possible projects to strive towards.
There is also no expectation of some supposed utopia from this, as i understand - conflicts are still expected to flair up every now and again. The main aim is for equality and the absence of a single constant power structure which oppresses and dictates the conditions of all, but instead that there is a democratic collaberation defining the conditions for folks involved.
- Comment on Woke 3 months ago:
It was maybe a month or two ago that showed that studies like these - all usually done as surveys - are highly susceptible to changes in input from users, just by word choice. In their example, they showed that if you use terms like ‘mental health’ while surveying people, a discrepancy emerges between non-conservatives and conservatives. This discrepancy disappears when you instead ask other questions, such as ones about sleep, worries , and fears.
So I don’t really know if I overall trust the data on happiness overall.

Not great for her, I imagine, considering this was a tantrum now immortalized on the internet. She’s been tried to ride the coverage like hawk tuah girl did, but with much less success it seems. Probably just doomed to be recognised at random times, likely in a mixed-bag fashion.
