Imagine trying to explain the concept of authority like a dipshit and then end it with an accusation of racism.

Could never be me lmao.

I’m well aware that the British and US lead a coup to reinstall the Shah, which ultimately caused the Iranian Revolution. Islamic fundamentalism was definitely not the answer.

Authoritarian Islamic fundamentalism.

Straight-up, that’s the most depressing headline I’ve probably ever seen.

If you follow discourse on this subject, you will see an intent to obscure research into dog attacks and mislead reports on dog type from places like r/pitbull.

This question could be answered by genetic dog breed testing of dangerous dogs, but that’s not law anywhere IIRC. That Purdue study is, for lack of a better term, normalized aggression research on breeds which is valuable. They mention Dachschunds being high on multiple stats, but a Dachschunds ability to maul is very different from larger type dogs like German Shepards or Pitbulls.

People who argue “bad training” purposefully ignore the idea and influences of domestication, as a whole, and don’t mention genetically influenced behaviors from other animal species.

We should all be supporting research into dog types and general safety / behavior of these (generally) wonderful creatures that we domesticated and live with in close proximity.

These difficulties are easily addressed by genetic testing of dog breeds that’s commonplace today, but that requires forcing genetic testing of dogs that have attacked people, which I don’t believe is law anywhere at the moment.

Purposefully obscuring breed type is scientific malpractice, and often encouraged in forums on pitbull type dogs e.g. r/pitbulls. If you pay attention to this discourse, you will know there’s an intent to obscure these statistics.

CDC stats seem to be only general and one page of this 28 page report issue: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/pdfs/mm7236-H.pdf

More recent work generally supports this old data:

This statement is a gross denial of the influence of genetics on behavior. A fox hunts because it’s partially hardwired to sate its omnivorous diet with small vertebrates. As does a snake, with no teaching influences from a parental figure.

Similarly, a short hair pointer dog points, not purely because it is taught.

Pitbulls were bred as fighting dogs in England from the 19th century onward. There’s a reason they have stocky bodies, frog mouths, and short fur.

I do not pre order, but I am hyped for this.

I’m going to slightly go against this by saying there are some important buttons to know that will make your exploration of the game better / easier

The two biggest are (for PC):

Shift - shows you the line of sight of npcs in a red cone, making it far easier to try and sneak around (especially important for Rogues)

Left alt - Highlights important interact-able objects on screen
