If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • The conversation is nuanced and long, but TLDR is that it is a breed which requires more training than other breeds. It’s also important to note that many owners’ version of training is ineffective or counter productive.

    Pitbulls are highly energetic and much like great Danes, grow up physically much faster than mentally. They end up being an extremely powerful dog, chalk full of muscles, who crave constant attention and behave like a puppy. Well, puppies bite, and when a dog bites you, you tend to address it (give it attention). Compounding this, they’re also not very smart and it takes a while to train them. Compounding this further, they have instincts like all dogs where pushing is met with resistance (something Cesar talks about a lot with food etiquette around dogs), and basically everything they do is exaggerated with their enormous energy.

    Comparing them to a breed like a Labrador, the obliviousness, energy, strength, and attention needs are not the same.

    They can be very good dogs, but effort was made to achieve that. There are dogs who have been bred to be home bodies and they much more naturally fall into a “good dog” category. Pitbulls were bred for dog fighting and blood sports. This is not a good start for family’s first dog.

    To put this into other terms. There are chickens who have been bred for cock fights. They can be good roosters, but watch your back and be ready to remove them if they attack your hens. That being said, predators beware. Different breeds have different specialties, if you want one for the look be very deliberate about what actions you are going to take to change the “natural outcome” of their behavior being the behavior you don’t want.

















  • Didn’t really address the argument. It’s not out of context and Google is free.

    Your other argument is that it’s a slippery slope between not supporting a genociding ethnostate and not liking minorities in your own nation? Maybe when you’re an ethnonationalist. Do you think Lemmy is majority ethnonationalist? Are you one? Ironically it’s almost explicitly ethnonationalists that do support Israel because they can see the narrative of a, “successful ethnostate” as a justification for having their own, usually white Christian, version.

    I have no idea where you’re seeing rampant antisemitism from the left, I highly highly suspect it’s actually from the right and you’re being bamboozled. If anything we often ignore the fact that there’s majority support for Israel amongst Jews because we understand there’s also a lot of jews standing strong against the genocide and we don’t want to antisemetically lump them all in the way people who talk like you often do, where you’re cagey about insulting a nation state to spare the feelings of Jewish supremacists or god forbid Jews who just like the place (I wonder why). I can freely say “fuck jewish supremacists” knowing anyone who would read between the lines to more than supremacists is not arguing in good faith anyways. Being a liberal identity politics obsessive person sounds EXHAUSTING dude.
