Casey Explosion did a good tweet ages ago about why she mentions painting warhams and sometimes posts them on her twitter but doesn't stream painting them, the gist of which was that the easiest way to kill a hobby is to start trying to monetise it. Despite what grindset dickheads tell you, you do not in fact have to monetise your hobbies and probably shouldn't.

Bioshock is a game about a man who builds a libertarian paradise under the sea, and everything is fine. I assume anyway, I turned it off when a whale went past in the intro because whales are the environment and the environment is woke now.

The problem with "oh he's harmless" is that it's very easy to convince yourself of that, just people seeing their own dog being cute and cuddly at home, or in this little bellend's case in the brief 5 minutes of sunbathing he's allowed before he has to come back in and lie on a cooling mat. It makes it easy to forget that dogs are predators with chase instincts. If they get surprised by something, their prey drive can kick in before any semblance of logic or training does, and as owner it's your responsibility to intervene before something happens. I refuse to believe that the dog's owner didn't see the cat. When I'm out with the boy I have to be his eyes and ears and look for signs of surprise dog (owner with a leash, rustling bushes) and pre-emptively give him the best chance of not acting on instinct. If I even see a cat in the distance, he's back on leash and on the opposite side of me before he's even realised it's there. The reason I'm like this is because for all I love him and know he tries his best, he absolutely does have those instincts and has gone for other dogs when they've suddenly appeared, so the only times he's off-leash is when I'm confident I have good lines of sight and plenty of distance. It would be lovely to let him off leash all the time since we live in a pedestrianised estate and don't have to worry about cars. And as other dog owners keep telling me, the only way to get him better at meeting other dogs is to let him try. But the country isn't dog racist towards their golden retriever, nor are the police primed to impound him (and as with everything else in the uk the backlog is so massive he'd likely either be destroyed to make space or be so traumatised by the experience he'd probably never recover). Also I'm not willing to use the safety of other dogs as a testing ground to see if he can behave when I know he hasn't in the past. I'm rambling but the point is control your loving dogs people. They may seem like cuddly little angels (and they absolutely are), but they are also animals with instincts they can't always help.

keep punching joe posted:It seems like a bad idea to keep dogs with a prey or herding instinct as pets. We took a wolf, turned its pack instincts into attachment issues, and dropped it into a world where if it chases food in the wrong direction it gets smeared across the tarmac by a couple of tons of metal we invented to get to work faster. They don't understand the truck, the job or the road. The absolute least we can do is try and guide them safely through. keep punching joe posted:I dunno if a bull terrier is any more prone to snap than a bored out of its wits border collie.

Yeah if your dog does have any agression issues, keep it leashed for gently caress's sake. My lad has never shown any agression towards people but I try to discourage him from going over because if anything he's too enthusiastic. So I guess I do understand it if the dog is not clearly and obviously being friendly. Which was supposed to be kind of the point of the "oh but he's harmless" post earlier, but it sort of got away from me. I know he's just playing, or he's just trying to lick your face, or just barking at the delivery person, but people who don't know that don't know any of that. Example - sister in law thought it'd be funny to teach him to growl when she was playing with him, so now when he gets overexcited during play he growls. Which other dogs don't like. And other dog owners are rightly terrified of because of the breed's reputation. So even if I know he doesn't mean it that way, it doesn't matter because I have to be in control of a dog other people percieve as a problem. And like when I have to deal with a pack of little shits nipping at his ankles - he doesn't know they don't mean it (and to be absolutely honest I'm never convinced they don't mean it).

Guavanaut posted:But Staffordshire Terriers rank highest (11). I'm not sure if that's just because so many people seem to want to own one without learning how, There are a ton of staffies in particular that turn up in shelters having been abandoned at about a year old, because the owners never trained them and they're suddenly big enough to just ignore the owners in terms of physical control.

Mourning Due posted:Are you saying that sensory sensitivity isn't real? Or that sudden unexpected loud noise and unwanted physical contact cannot trigger it? Were you raised in either of those countries? Do you have sensory sensitivity, or are you arguing on behalf of an imaginary person who does? Because I do have sensory sensitivities, so you're going to have to find some people filled with less straw. Dogs which are safe and do not attack people are a normal part of society. I will absolutely concede that dogs who are not safe should be muzzled and on leash. But does that mean Jakabite's good boy should have to be muzzled and leashed? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no. If someone is triggered (and I mean that in the legitimate psychological sense of entering fight-or-flight mode because of previous legit trauma) by a dog coming up to them, that person needs help in the same way they'd need help if they were triggered by cars, or shouting, or open spaces. Those are all normal things most people in society will be able to deal with. It would be bezerk to expect all owners of dogs to muzzle and leash their pets in case someone has ptsd from an attack, in the same way society would break down if we had to remove all cars from the roads because some people have been in crashes (arguably way, way more than have been attacked by dogs). This whole conversation is deranged, there's some powerful conflation of basic concepts being thrown around. My dog going up to someone and giving them a sniff is not the same as a cane corso leaping at you snarling. If someone has been attacked by a dog and has trauma, then I am genuinely sorry about that, and if anyone cannot tell if a dog coming toward them is friendly or not, I also feel sorry for them. But you cannot seriously be expecting every dog, even ones with no history of violence to be restricted just in case they happen to come across a tiny minority who wrongly thinks they might be dangerous?
