Are you?

See? This is what I mean. OP it is posting the killing of a couple of children by these dogs and you're here bragging about donating the proliferation of this breed. How is this different from people who donate to gun organizations when there's a school shooting? At least show some respect.

User Banned (2 weeks): inflammatory comparisons, please do not compare people to dogs

I'll counter your dumbass argument with an equal but opposite dumbass argument to hopefully help you understand how dumbass it is.

Are all people in the Middle East responsible for 9/11? By your logic, exterminating an entire ethnicity because of what a few members of that ethnicity have done is the simple and obvious solution, that's the real right-wing connection isn't it?

At least in my dumbass example, you're comparing living beings to living beings instead of comparing living beings to a soulless hunk of metal that has no feelings, emotions and can't be molded by how and where it's raised.

User Banned (2 weeks): inflammatory comparisons, please do not compare people to dogs

By deflecting my response to someone who compared a violent dog breed to Muslims/Middle-Easterners, and saying people who talk about putting down dogs are on some rightwing talking points. I am not a pet owner and I don't think an entire breed of a living animal should be killed. I am not gonna sit and accept people casually comparing a particular violent breed of dog with Muslims and also throw in 9/11 as a crutch. You don't get to do that.

The guy is literally saying it's not fair to judge people by the acts of a few individuals then why is it ok to judge other animals by breed and not as individuals. Humans are fucking mammals we are all animals. What makes us better than any other animals? Also the breed isn't particularly violent stop ignoring the data in the thread all professional data says otherwise. And I posted an article that literally shows that the alt right are using these talking points it's presented with receipts. At the end of the day everything should be treated as an individual if that offends you I don't care.

User Banned (1 Week): Spreading misinformation

The thread is already littered with responses disproving these by professionals more qualified than the arguments made repeatedly in this post saying this. I'm on mobile so I'm not going to deliver them to you. Genetics account for like 9% of how a dogs behavior is.

Interesting that we're supposed to believe the professionals that you deem worthy, but it's okay if you ignore other expert opinions indicating that breed has a non-negligible influence on behavior. Like this study, which asserts something completely different to the one that I'm assuming most of you are referring to, based on the 9% stat.

I mean, it's no big secret that many dog breeds were specifically bred for specific behaviors, or does anyone want to argue that shepards historically all just really liked the color of border collies? That certain behavior traits can be inherited and eventually become part of the breed has been known for a long time. It's literally the raison d'etre for certain breeds, but now we're talking about pit bulls, so suddenly breed has no influence on behavior.

Yep cause my dog and all animals are just automatons, no different than a robot. They only ever do what instincts tell them.

You apparently have never had a pet or been around animals. Even wild animals have their own personalities (we just don't notice cause we aren't around them everyday). Just cause hey are stupider doesn't mean they just follow instincts or can't think. How do you think they learn? Did my cat just have instincts that told him that me opening a can of cat food means food? What part of instinct would have him know by default about an human made construct containing food?

You seem to have completely missed the point. Do you think that your cat learning to associate the sound of a can opening with food places its cognition on the same level as that of a human? Maybe once your cat can ponder whether the animal flesh inside that can was ethically farmed, you might be on to something. Or if your dog decides not to shit on the carpet because it knows that its wrong, instead of being scared that its owner will be upset at it and punish it.

Literal science deniers. Seriously. At this point it’s just sad. Might as well argue with antivaxers, flat earther, etc. all of them are doing the same type of thing: pointing to blogs and poor data in articles and ignoring the actual professionals and scientist.

Interesting how based on a single study that contradicts others that came before, we're now suddenly "science deniers" or arguing in bad faith. Y'all so transparent in your bad-faith arguing that it's not even funny, just sad. In a couple of years there will be another study contradicting your favorite study and then you'd better be quiet if you don't want to be labeled a science-denier yourself.

Also, take your comparisons to anti-vaxxers and flat earthers and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. I'm out of this dumpster-fire of a thread.

B-Dumbs

This thread seems like it's gone on way too long tbh and is way too heated to be of any actual benefit to anyone

So, to start off with, there is a lot of crazy rhetoric flying around about certain breeds of dogs lately, but specifically pitbulls. Here's the thing, a lot of it is nothing more than propaganda from people pushing specific agendas.

There is some truth to the idea that small dogs are more aggressive than larger dogs, but this is almost entirely down to training. People don't see smaller dogs as a threat and as such generally do not train them properly, this leads to behaviors that we do not see in properly trained dogs. Larger dogs are generally recognized as needing proper training, and so they get that training. As a result, we have the stereotype.

In the case of pitbulls, there is also a racial component. They went from being associate with white middle class ownership to dogfighting and rap culture.

While there are dogs that can be more aggressive than others without the proper training, there are people who are willing to selectively choose what stories to push in order to advance a specific agenda against other members of society. This results in us seeing a million stories about pitbulls.

I get it, people worry about little kids because they are largely helpless and can't defend themselves the way we, as adults, can. That doesn't mean we need to go crazy, that we need to reject science and research, that we need to compare dogs to people, that we need to be giant assholes for no good reason.

When people are talking and they have arguments that are backed up by research and legitimate scientific studies, we should be listening to that and using that information to reevaluate our own positions. If you hold a position and are incapable of seeing fault with that position, despite a crushing load of evidence to the contrary, how can you be said to be arguing in good faith? How is it a position to take, based on science and fact, and not a belief based on nothing at all?

So we'll open the thread up and try this again. How about we all avoid being dummies and try acting like adults.

Maybe this best Mexican restaurant for a long way and when I get a small opportunity to go out with the wife, I like it to be in a place with a nice reputation and great food. Man I really want to go here but I'm pretty sure the wife is not going to a place in the part of Philly. Don't bother me none. Its an amazing juxtaposition.

Hyperbole notwithstanding, Kensington, Philadelphia is a tragic failure of government and the worst place I have ever been on earth. It is a DMZ Zombie apocalypse or the closest thing to it. If this were another country there would be telethons and hashtags and NBA commercials during the playoffs but I digress.

Kensington was the birthplace of the K&A Gang, an Irish American organized crime association known for their distribution of methamphetamine in the 1980s. Over time black and Hispanic street dealers took over larger portions of the drug trade, especially heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine.

In recent years, Kensington has experienced increasing social issues primarily related to drug abuse. Sections of the neighborhood are frequented by a significant number of people experiencing drug addiction and/or homelessness.[52] After Philadelphia Police forcibly removed a large encampment of these people from an abandoned railroad track by Lehigh Street, several smaller encampments formed under the tracks.[8] Police, after a year and a half, removed these encampments causing its residents to spread up Kensington Avenue.[9] People suffering from addiction and/or homelessness concentrate around the Somerset and Allegheny train stations, in nearby parks, and on residential streets, angering long-term residents.[53]

The neighborhood has gained nationwide attention and great notoriety because of extensive press coverage of its thriving narcotics drug scene, often described as the largest on the east coast.[54][55] The intersection of Kensington Avenue and Somerset Street was listed number one in a 2007 list of the city's top ten recreational drug corners according to an article by Philadelphia Weekly reporter Steve Volk.[56] It is also known as an area of prostitution.[57]

she-hulk with her green skin implies that the only way for women to succeed and grow in power (physically or figuratively) is to change something fundamental about themselves, to compromise their womanhood in some way

also the presence of explicit villains for her to fight lulls the audience into a false sense that good and evil must always be so obvious, rather than the insidious, pervasive and attractive nature of true evil (republicans and rich "philanthropists" like Musk)

the more of this show I absorb, the more I realize it's centrist garbage

God I'm so glad that I just missed out on the Harry potter craze

[Polident Hive]

Earlier I read a talk with Alan Moore, at his most Alan Moore. Feels somewhat relevant to this Harry Potter screed.

And he now looks with dismay on the way the superhero genre in which he once worked has eaten the culture. “Hundreds of thousands of adults [are] lining up to see characters and situations that had been created to entertain the 12-year-old boys – and it was always boys – of 50 years ago. I didn’t really think that superheroes were adult fare. I think that this was a misunderstanding born of what happened in the 1980s – to which I must put my hand up to a considerable share of the blame, though it was not intentional – when things like Watchmen were first appearing. There were an awful lot of headlines saying ‘Comics Have Grown Up’. I tend to think that, no, comics hadn’t grown up. There were a few titles that were more adult than people were used to. But the majority of comics titles were pretty much the same as they’d ever been. It wasn’t comics growing up. I think it was more comics meeting the emotional age of the audience coming the other way.”

He thinks that’s not just infantile but dangerous. “I said round about 2011 that I thought that it had serious and worrying implications for the future if millions of adults were queueing up to see Batman movies. Because that kind of infantilisation – that urge towards simpler times, simpler realities – that can very often be a precursor to fascism.” He points out that when Trump was elected in 2016, and “when we ourselves took a bit of a strange detour in our politics”, many of the biggest films were superhero movies.

So a few months ago I made a Reddit post on my local subreddit asking if anyone needs a drummer (I play drums, it’s one of my main hobbies, I’m in a band already but we don’t play super often), and I got a message from a guy whose band needs a drummer. They’re a legit band with songs on Spotify and everything, I really like their music. He says they have a temporary drummer and they’re playing a gig october 8th so they want to use him for now. I say no problem and I will come to the gig to meet everyone.

Well, today is the day, and I get a super horrible migraine this afternoon. I’m bed most of the evening; it is one of the most painful migraines I’ve ever had. I feel awful but I have to say I can’t make it. The guy has never texted me back but I feel like I blew my shot to be in this band. Granted he never said that coming to this show was a qualifier for being in the band, but I feel like he’ll think it’s an excuse for me not wanting to come last minute and think “well maybe this is a sign and we’ll stick with this drummer we have”. I have just been trying to really hard to find another band to play with, and this one seemed like such a good fit. So I’m fairly depressed and feeling like I fucked up tonight.

Neopeth once again living up to their manifesto to do better about the world outside her bubble; US gangstas started getting into Pitbulls in the early 90s which was around the time they were banned in the UK for being basically lethal fucking weapons precisely BECAUSE they're vicious fucking killers, and have literally been bred into being that over decades if not centuries, and a cop can't pick you up for having a vicious attack dog like they can an unregistered firearm, but you can sic it on a bitch trying to rob you.

In general, heritability is not necessarily a concept limited to just genetics; all it means is that a trait occurs across a group. Women have a higher heritability of wearing earrings than men. That doesn't mean women come out of the womb with earrings already in their ears, nor does it mean that a woman without earrings is some sort of genetic weirdo. Environment and sociology play a role in why group differences exist as well. This gets more into the weeds when you also consider that a "pit bull" is not actually a single fucking breed.

This is honestly one of the most distinguished mentally-challenged things I have ever read

https://www.resetera.com/threads/some-statistics-about-transphobia-in-uk-media.641328/

Great research that starts off by assuming that if the article isn't from PinkNews it's either trans hostile or at best trans neutral and then goes on about how shocking it is that those sites write articles about trans issues 

"We are activists on these issues because we more visibility in the media at large."
"No, not like that tho"

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

oh my god that's so many articles! about only 1% of the population!

how many articles total were there over this period?

I mean for example if there were a total of 1005 articles released by all these publications in that period, that would mean that 99.9% of their articles were about 1% of the population!

The more obvious flaw, is that news reporting tends to highly correlate highly with newsworthy events occurring.

If you consider all media reporting that is not an outright cheer leading puff-piece 'transphobic', and given the mainstream media tend to consider negative events more newsworthy in general, then 'transphobic' spikes are likely to occur when a trans person does something wrong that is considered newsworthy.


This is honestly like the fucking NRA complaining about their negative press in the mass media every time a spree shooting happens - GEE I FUCKING WONDER WHY

The problem with Pitbulls is their owners.

I mean, sure, his corporate overlords take some of the blame, but the banal lyrics, self promotion and shameless corporate sponsorship ultimately fall at his own feet

Guess the OP attacking fucking Reuters of having an 'agenda' before clicking.

That comically manipulative photo?
From the OPs own OP:

(Image removed from quote.)

Also as usual one of, if not the only, trans voice heard is Erica Anderson a terfy trans doctor who contributes to the trans panic

"One of if not only" sure has the authority of soemone who has defeinitely read this piece and definitely isnt just C+Ping what they're saying on their Discord, and why would you as a legitimate news organisation contact a medical profession who is also trans to speak on the medical aspects of transitioning instead of some twitter rando?

It's fucked up and I get pissed when I talk about the need to protect myself and people keep going " Violence isn't the answer" and " you can't fight the government" when they aren't the ones who actually have to fear for their lives. If they start rounding up trans people I'm not going like a lamb.

And of course they choose the pill to make it look like drugs, don't know about anyone else I'm on the patch and injections exist also, nope gotta pick the pill you can associate with narcotics. It's disgusting.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

yeah the optics of a grown doctor chemically castrating a child below the age of medical consent via injection would be soooooooooo much better

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

it is of course completely harmless and reversible, but if any fucking doctor tries to research that for confirmation via the scientific method we're coming for you you transphobic piece of shit

We have the name of the photographer as she is directly credited here but absent of evidence of transphobia (I looked she has no real political  opinion presence) herself I'm going to err on blaming her as it's far more likely they (Reuters/the writers) just hired her as a freelance to produce an image they wanted

And folks this isn't an Op Ed or whatever excuse i get thrown at me when I criticize the media

Shit this isn't even the NYT, it's way worse

Reuters and AP sell themselves as raw journalism, the facts, the truth, etc...

This is billed as A REUTERS SPECIAL REPORT, and is filed under their Investigates section

This article with that fucking image, created expressedly for this article, with one of the subjects of this article,  is advertised straight up as Investigative journalism.

The press is selling us out period.

The transphobia in journalism is coming from inside the house.

War against the dastardly fillerMSMrellif.

Incelsheet or Alex Jones ?

He texted back and said no worries, sorry I wasn’t feeling well. He said he would put me in touch with their lead singer about an audition/rehearsal. So hopefully that pans out

Why didn’t they pick something not associated with drugs like *checks notes* needles?

I think it might be time to Ban Kanye from Era. I very much doubt he’s going to suddenly change his ways, and honestly, even if he did I couldn’t forgive this coon shit anyway.

I don’t think we should give his foolishness anymore oxygen

I missed the first two death cons but this time it's only one state over and attached to a nice hotel so maybe

"You are 14 now Ryace, time to make a choice"

"If you take the red pill, and you are a biological male we give you a poor fitting suit and you become a middle manager or if you are a biological female you get a flower dress and give birth to many children or you become a goth e-girl on onlyfans."

"If you take the blue pill, and you are a biological male we hit random on the Fortnite character creator to decide what gender you are and that along with the issue of the day is your new identity. If you are a biological female you become an opinion writer for the Washington Post who owns 10 cats or something. Honestly we haven't totally figured this one out but at least you won't have to wear a flower dress."

I'm sorry to use twitter sources for the trans pov... but one of the scariest things about the upcoming Musk twitter takeover is that by in large Twitter is all we have for a voice

The mainstream press will not centre us because they don't actually want a pro trans pov, and because we're deemed bias and activist

The only trans people given voice are the anti-trans ones because their utility is to be a weapon: "See this Trans person says the care is bad and dangerous... a trans person! See you know it's true because even trans people who aren't ravaged by bias know it"

It is fucking insane the mods allow this narrative to be pushed.
This is literal fucking jonestown cult shit.

also, lol, dipshit.

Is this even incelchief posting this shit, or did they share their account with someone stupider and more hyperbolic? Incelchief can usually at least spell.

[HaughtyFrank]

The only trans people given voice are the anti-trans ones

...and all the batshit crazy ones. I'd like to hear more from the normal trans people I have met in real life, not the terminally online ones.

[HaughtyFrank]

Imagine not being able to hear from twitter user "The emperor has no hole 🕳️"

This is the future Elon Musk wants!
