  • Listen I am just giving my two cents, I have no skin in the game, never owned a pit bull, probably never will. I have personally been attacked by pitbulls on two occasions, still have scars in my innerarm from one.

    Pitbulls due to their reputations attract owners for those characteristics. Then they actually nurture and reward violence. They want a vicious dog because they want to be cheap and save on security, or make themselves look cool by having a dog they "trained" to be a killer. It's almost like the parents you live through their kids making them compete in pageants or sports for example. Lastly you have the neglectful owner, that just does not care.

    But also pitbulls can be deadly, an angry violent Yorkshire terrier will not be nearly as dangerous as a pitbull.

    But I believe banning the dog will further cement the reputation and will actually enhance the attractiveness of this dog from the wrong types of people even further, because now it is taboo and really must be true. Basically like how cigarettes and alcohol became cool when they are illegal, so will this breed. In fact you will most likely be taking them away from responsible owners 9 times out of 10 that are trying to breed out aggression and further domesticate and breed in qualities to make them more friendly, like how the English bulldog has become a much more docile breed.

    Even if you wipe out the pitbull breed tomorrow these owners will move to another breed, maybe ones that have a much higher, almost double the bite force like a Cane Corso, and the issue of dangerous breeds will continue.

    I still believe poor owners should be held accountable, legally and socially, that ethical ownership for all dogs should be taught at school, at public events, like how to take care of a dog, why it is vetter to adopt than support a puppy mill (also regulate ethical dog breeding and prevent and penalise backyard puppy mills), teach walking an training methods, ban choke chains.... List goed on.

    Sorry for my long two cents. I have no problems with any breed, I have a problem with piss poor pathetic owners 9 times out of ten. The issue is much bigger and complex than taking the easy way and blaming it all on one breed

  • Me: ChatGPT, will this prostate drug work for me?

    ChatGPT: According to multiple articles on the web, your chosen drug might be beneficial. But it is best to consult with a health professional. Here are several in your area.

    Me: My god, it will work....

  • Yeah when I went in to Doctor Strange multiverse of madness, and there was no, you really do need to see Scarlet witch first, I just wondered what the fuck is going on. Since then there has been so much released on Disney plus it feels like I have to do research before just going into a movie for some mindless fun. So I checked out. Sorry Marvel but you should have made your series non compulsory to the movies. Basically tried forcing your streaming service on us, now I won't touch it or your Disney IP with a 10 meter pole

  • I liked it, wished they built up the suspense a bit more by sometimes having a bit more consequences, like real consequences. Felt like they write themselves into a corner and mostly get out the other side unscathed, like everytime. Takes away suspension if there are no consequences

  • Agree with the name thing, especially if it is still popular names. Some old names are cool to use especially if they are not really used anymore, if it has a play on words like Nero burning ROM or Ajax that attacks grease. What name can we use as a play on words for male birth control....

  • Well I love Mint, but nothing is stopping you from experimenting with other distros, now and then I try a couple new distros to see if there is anything that fits me better, but I personally keep coming back to mint. Nothing wrong with sticking with something that works, mint is really intuitive in my opinion, why it just works for me

  • I cannot speak for this area of science, but in my field China's research papers, for example rock mass failure response to complex stress states, are like a god send, really quality work. This is my opinion in my field but if I had to extrapolate... Remember the Soviets with all their propaganda had amazing scientists

  • Superhero films are past their golden era. Of course there will always be fans, but the mainstream will move to the next thing. Unfortunately actual cinemas are dying so it looks like superhero films were the last big movie genre, or maybe I am totally wrong and way too nihilistic.

    Heater element borehole water

    Is there a better way to heat up my geyser that uses borehole water? The area I live in has no reliable water unless you drill a borehole. Every three months I change out my copper elements in my geyser. I am just asking since it is a pain in the butt

    Need help with WiFi 6 mesh

    Hopefully I am in the right community.

    So I have a router, a TP Link Archer AX53, nice router. I wanted to improve the signal in my room and bought a TP link Deco X10. So CAT 6 cable to my room, connect my router and deco.

    I thought this might just be a quick tick to add the deco as a mesh device and boom problem sorted.

    Now I know this is not a simple WiFi 6 mesh setup, seems like the deco and archer modem does not work together, they make their individual network points.

    Does anyone know a solution or am I stuck with two networks. Not end of the world but would have been nice if it can be one mesh network

    Really Impressed

    I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming. Luckily a lot of the open source software I was used to were available on windows. I also liked some of the Linux tools like the cmd tools being adopted by windows.

    But yesterday, after two years of seeing issues pile up and the system degrading, I thought how is the grass back on the other side, since I am sick of this shit. Installed my go to distro, Mint, and god what a fucking idiot I feel like. Even if Windows improved since I used it back from 8, but how much has Linux improved in these last two years, like eons compared to windows. My system is smooth and fast, hell my Cyberpunk 2077 runs amazing, even better and less crashing with nothing more than install and no other settings from steam. Chef's kiss
