I think the conclusion is that a shittily raised example of a less-aggressive breed will still be a bigger shithead of a dog and more dangerous than a well raised example of a highly aggressive breed. For my piece, the most aggressive and lovely dogs I've ever encountered have all been chihuahuas and mixes thereof.

Bonster posted:My parakeet loved to throw food down to the dog. She would drag pieces of toast and fruit to the edge of the cage, throw them off the top (the food was on the top and she was out), then watch as the dog came and ate it. Then she would do a little bobbing dance an go find another piece of food. She and the dog had a great relationship. The bird thread in PI has convinced me that parrots and other pet birds are adorable and that I would never, ever want to own one. The gif of the cockatoo screaming at the barn owl originally came from there.

For the non-Americans, one of the fundamental problems we have is the hyper-polarized nature of the American two-party system, and the polarization is most visible on the right wing. Trump (and Romney before him) is a product of the GOP primary election, where he did well. There were more reasonable, traditional Republicans in the primary who would likely be doing much better in the general and would probably strike most American liberals as disappointing but understandable if they won - this was Huntsman last election and Kasich this time. But the same things that make them appealing in the general (i.e. not being frothing loonies) are the same things that torpedoed them in the primary. Romney and Trump both won the primaries essentially by being everyone's second or third choice - not all that many people really wanted them to win, but they were the last men standing. Romney tried to immediately pivot back to the middle to strike a more general classical Republican position and was hated by a non-trivial amount of conservatives for the swing while not really impressing liberals. Being up against Campaign Obama finished him. Trump is taking the opposite tack and going full hog crazy, and it's... not really working for him. There's three main wings to the GOP, essentially: the FYGM big business plutocrats, the "why can't we turn things back to Leave It To Beaver" social conservatives, and the isolationist racist xenophobes. These divisions have not been getting along well lately despite any one of them being too weak to stand on its own and their internecine violence has been severely weakening the party as a monolithic entity. US politics are likely heading for a major political realignment in the next decade or two, and it's going to be interesting (and probably a tad horrifying) to see how it shakes out.

This is unironically something that some scientists are seriously considering: for things like nuclear waste disposal sites, how do you design a warning that future generations and civilizations will take seriously and not as a "There has to be really great stuff inside if they wanted us to stay out!"

SpacePig posted:I like that the game's best response to this is to just have the car catch fire, and then almost immediately explode. Like, this would've been good enough just with the car getting stuck in the tree, but the explosion is some interesting decision making. It's not uncommon in games with vehicles to have the vehicle self-destruct when the game logic detects that the vehicle is stuck with no possibility of getting free.

Prokhor Zakharov posted:Obsidian (formerly Black Isle/Troika) are still around, still independent and still making great RPGs. Depending on what you like in an RPG. I much preferred Bioware until around the ME3/Inquisition era. Western RPGs that aren't Bethesda style seem to be a dying art, unfortunately, which is a shame. They're my favorite genre of game, and my other favorite - 4X games like Civilization - isn't doing well, either. It's a shame how few big companies are left in general, and how little there is available between them and small indie outfits mainly making retro-style games.

Volcott posted:If you're disappointed/burned out on civ, maybe give grand strategy a whirl. There's a sharper learning curve, but there's more meat on the bone, too. Grand strategy isn't why I play 4X games. I play 4X games to sit back, relax, research, and build a neat-looking empire. Ideally without needing a spreadsheet like every Anno game not numbered 2205.
