Are traits passed down through genetics? Yep. If you selectively breed the biggest angriest dogs together will you get more big, angry dogs? Yep. Behavioral traits have a low heritability but we are talking about thousands of generations bred specifically for killing and fighting. Of course on a small fucking time scale of a study there’s not going to be an obvious trend of traits passed from one generation to the next. That’s different than centuries of breeding. But please keep justifying your racist ass comparison to black people hexbear crackers you’re doing the lord’s work.
Show me a study that says that. I doubt there’s one that disproves the random aggression factor specifically.
Leftists stop implying that black people were selectively bred to murder people in competitions over thousands of generations challenge. You’re telling me I’m doing race science?? DOG BREEDS ARE NOT THE SAME AS RACES.
When I lived in a medium US city 99% of pitbulls I saw were dragging their owners (tiny white women) down the street and completely out of control. I don’t think large dogs should be allowed to be adopted from shelters without a lot regulation and shit. People should have to prove they have experience training dogs and that they have enough outdoor and indoor space before they can get one. That being said, the wildly varying sources here for things like bite force and other statistics along with the knee jerk comparison with racism is one of the areas where I diverge from the generally online left. I get that the way pitbulls are seen and banned from apartments goes alongside the way that black people in america have been discriminated against and persecuted, but that doesn’t mean that the dogs aren’t dangerous. Almost all pitbull stories involve “the sweetest kindest calmest little family boy” who has “never done anything like this before”. Training is a huge part of why dogs get violent but when you selectively breed a dog for certain traits you get an animal who has violent impulses along with the physical capabilities to act on them. I can promise you that having been charged by multiple escaped pitbulls, witnessing FOUR separate attacks on dogs and humans over the past couple of years, and having been around dozens of pitbulls that the real issue with them isn’t as much “bite force” or that they clench and don’t let go, the issue is the tendency for totally spontaneous aggression towards humans and other animals. It’s something unpredictable, terrifying, and that I’ve only witnessed in pitbulls. Even the well trained ones are a bomb that could go off any time. Just my two scents as a person who works with animals professionally.
EDIT:
I don’t think it’s the dogs fault. Humans are responsible for their breeding and they are really just a product of shitty eugenics.
Got an email from my school district—survey asking if we should make masks optional(sent to CHUD parents as well as teachers).
Next email of the day “We may have to return to temporary virtual school becuase of a bus driver shortage” DUE TO COVID OBVIOUSLY
I’ve gotten 3 emails about bus drivers dying this year.
Things are going well. :yea:
Tbh the raimi movies are worth watching mainly because they aren’t stuck in the tired formula and color grading and shitty CGI stuff that modern marvel is stuck in. There’s room for characters to breathe and random scenes that “”don’t move forward the plot”” but allow for lots of character moments and some heartfelt shit. The holland movies aren’t anything special (except in retrospect after NWH) and fuck the garf ones lmao.
I really enjoyed it for a lot of the above reasons but I also really appreciated how they utilized the villains and made a movie that is action packed but feels more intimate and personal than any of the other MCU spiderman flicks. Love the hammy drama of the OG Raimis and the new movie finally leaned into that in a way that didn’t feel cheesy or overwrought. And they set up a grounded, street level spuderman who’s gotta rely on himself and be poor in NYC which is fabulous. Really erased a lot of my complaints about the holland movies and elevated them in retrospect as being pieces of the complete arc finished in NWH. But tbh I’m such a sucker for Tobey I would’ve had a good time even if the movie sucked and he just got a 5 minute cameo at the end. Shocked that they fully used Garfield and him as major parts of the story.
FUCKING THANK YOU
