I mean possibly, the article describes him trying to train standard poodles as guide dogs for years without success, and then he crossed one of them with his boss' lab. So like, I'm sure they were probably good god that he used, but it wasn't exactly a calculated science.

But also, isn't that what unscrupulous breeders are going to do anyways? Like I don't see how this breed makes puppy mills better or worse, it seems like it would just change the breeds they target.

The guy originally bred them as a hypoallergenic guide dog, and then they exploded in popularity.

The article basically paints the picture that the original guy bred them the right way (I don't see how), but since then a bunch of unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills have turned two smart, somewhat inherently well behaved, breeds: labs and poodles, to a breed that is more chaotic and dependent (again, I don't see how that's any different from what he did or what most dogs are like).

The article isn't exactly well written or researched. It mostly just quotes him and throws in a couple quotes from Kennel Associations and Facebook pages. Provides no information on where this fits in the wider context of dog breeding.

Honestly, to me it sounds like an uptight dog breeder whose mad that their breed, that is technically a mutt and not recognized as a distinct breed, is the most popular thing they'll ever do in their life.

Overrated. Long and boring movie about two dudes who clearly want to fuck but don't have the balls.

And guns nuts love the scene where they rob the bank because other gun nuts have praised it as 'realistic' and that gets their dicks hard in fear.

They're joking. js doesn't even officially stand for JavaScript due to Oracle's IP claim over the JavaScript name.

It is basically just Apple's IP messenger, that only works on Apple devices.

However, it also handles SMS messaging, and it merges those conversations automatically, so people on iMessage just use iMessage for their default messaging, and the app will send over IP to other iMessage users and SMS to non iMessage users (Signal used to work this way and it was nice).

Since it's the default and Americans blindly buy iPhones, it leaves most not realizing that third party cross platform messaging apps even exist.

On top of that, Apple does fuckery at the telecom level, so once you register your number for iMessage, ALL SMSes will go to an iMessage server instead of your phone until you explicitly unregister. So take a sim out of an apple phone and pop it into anything else and suddenly, no more SMS.

It's not ideal, but it's still better than dealing with the American iMessage nonsense.

Hitler: How did you maintain thousands of kms of supply lines?

Napoleon: Especially in the bleak unforgiving Russian winter?

Khan: What the hell are supply lines?

Nice list! While I don't play those genres, I'll re-confirm that this problem doesn't affect all games.

You don't play first person shooters, first person melee games, third person shooters, third person action games, survival games, factory games, beat em up games, puzzle games, stealth games, or story driven adventures?

It sounds like your issue is that console calibre mobiles games are shitty, to which I'll point out, they always have been. There was never a golden era of Modern Warfare 2 on mobile.

Maybe if your issue is with mobile games, the problem might be with trying to game on mobile?

Man, honestly, you sound like you should disconnect and spend less time on the internet.

You're writing off literally thousands of games and painting them all with the same brush, because of broad complaints about general trends in AAA gaming.

Let me go through my recently played games, and just find a small sampling of games that fit your bill that have come out post enshittification:

• Avowed
• Indiana Jones & The Great Circle
• Alan Wake 2
• Control
• Grounded
• Subnautica
• Vampire Survivors
• Balatro
• Elden Ring
• Tunic
• Cyberpunk
• Plate Up
• Robo Quest
• Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order & Star Wars Jedi Survivor
• Wizard With A Gun
• Ship Of Fools
• No Man's Sky
• Hitman
• Remnant II
• Baldur's Gate
• Sifu
• The Outer Wilds ....

Do I need to go on?

Games in general have lost their innovation and have just become too enshittified to enjoy these days. I’m glad I was a gamer before all that.

If they're too shitty to enjoy, why are you playing them?

If you're not playing them, how do you know they're shitty?

And regardless, how would you know that it's not you who changed?
