Looked up the scene in question on YouTube and I think it’s on about the same level as six-pack shots of men in movies - decently sexualised but not problematic imo.
Regardless I think @trailing9@lemmy.ml was just continuing the joke from the meme.
Oh, come on with that false equivalency BS. Owners can choose what breeds to buy (or just take in a stray), which also determines what gets bred! Pitbulls as a breed in general do tend to have higher aggression, that’s just a fact. And it’s well-documented by vets, breeders, groomers, etc.
That’s a little different than the war crimes of one dead racist guy who lived half a century ago…
Hi scientist here, I actually ran a study during my cursus about this and i didn’t find any significant difference between ‘dangerous breeds’ and others. The literature I found confirmed this hypothesis. If you have an article confirming this fact i would gladly appreciate it. If necessary i can give you some articles to read. As far as I’m aware it does not appear to be a fact.
I don’t have a dog in this fight (heh) but no one arguing the other side has presented any evidence either. In my anecdotal evidence, it’s seems more that certain breeds are more powerful, so when they’re improperly trained, they cause more damage so they get more headlines
Also, those breeds attract a certain type of owner that either don’t train them or train them to be aggressive.
Yep, they just need some love and gentle care and training. I have a half-pit and the only things she’s aggressive with is small critters. She really loves killing them though.
Worked for a dog and cat boarding facility many moons ago. Of all my interactions with various breeds from private owners to our almost constant stream of rescued pitbulls - we were temporarily hosting/caring for. Only one breed almost took off my finger.
I needed stitches, the lead vet had to flood the wound with iodine and antibiotics.
You can’t because they didn’t. They just made it up as pitbull enthusiasts always do. On the other hand here’s a site that has numerous reports on dog bit statistics and also a link to the National Pitbull Victims Awareness collective. No other breed of dog has so many organizations dedicated to victims and no other group of animal supporters attacks victims like pitbull advocates do.
I was in a bar last week where i haven't been in 10 years. Some of the same people still hang around there. I talked to a guy i knew for a bit and then turned around again. Then i heard them talk about how it's crazy that they can't joke and even talk normally anymore without people getting mad and offened. I turned around again, and asked them what they are talking about. What can't you say anymore? They were pretty drunk and just mumbled: you know, normal stuff. Do you just mean racist shit? You think you can't do racist jokes anymore? They were like: can't even say faggot anymore. You just did, you can say whatever the fuck you want, you just have to accept that people think you are racist pricks.
Small towns are interesting sometimes
Also, these idiots always ignore context. Like, if gay dudes amongst each other say faggot jokingly that’s totally fine (assuming they’re all cool with it, of course), but some straight dude saying it with a negative undertone isn’t acceptable at all.
Once you learn about the magical alarm app Gentle Wakeup (paid, worth it, made by a doctor), you will throw all your alarms out of the window. It changed my life.
Wanna hear genuinely useful sleep tips?
Get your sunshine fix for Vitamin D. It regulates body’s internal clock aka circadian rhythm. 20-30 minutes twice a week, with minimum clothing for maximum exposure.
Calculate your sleep cycles. It varies between 90-100 minutes, and you take 4-5 of them. Usually 4 if not an old age person.
Use the Gentle Wakeup alarm app and set it accordingly with nice music.
Set one alarm at the end of 3rd sleep cycle block, and one at the 4th (or 4th and 5th if old age).
Sleep at night as intended, and not at 6am scrolling like a zombie. Even 12 midnight can work out well for an office goer.
I’ve not used any alarm at all for the past 20 years. It’s amazing. I just automatically wake up at the same time every day. And go to sleep about the same time every day.
This only happened to me when I was in my 30s. I think my brain chemistry did not allow me when I was younger and in my 20s to do this. Now I can barely stay up late and I wake up consistently before my alarm.
