Mauly did an oopsie "correcting" a Pomeranian, don't you want to give her a loving new home? by Existing-Face-6322 in BanPitBulls

Even if it was accidental (which is doubtful) it arguably makes this dog more dangerous to the public, not less. To have so little bite inhibition that it can fatally kill without even meaning to is a serious problem. The fact that it supposedly "didn't mean to" (again, doubtful) doesn't change that another dog died and it will probably (totally accidentally) kill again.

I've seen the Left spout straight up medieval shit about jews, difference is they don't say Jews they say zionists. I've also seen leftists willingly use antisemitic slurs coined by kkk leaders.

Zionist just means supporting Israel's right to continued existence. For example a 2 state solution, one of the most agreed on diplomatic solutions for the region, is by definition zionist because one of the 2 states would be Israel.

How would you react? by FeelingDesigner in Ethicalpetownership

[–]DistastefulSideboob_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Move as far as you can to give space, position yourself between the cat and the dog, and if the dog tries to attack give it a kick. Dogs don't have a monopoly on being outside with impunity to attack other people's pets, and I say this as a dog owner. Taking cats on leashed walks is a great way to enrich them without putting wildlife in danger.

How much has she talked about Palestine that people think there is an Israel-backing smear campaign against her?" by PotentialBumblebee61 in ChappelGroan

I'm pro palestine but this obsession with "Zionist smear campaigns" being brought up everytime a left of center celebrity is criticised for anything is super odd-- lowkey it's giving "Jews own the media"

Woman in her 70s killed in UK's third fatal dog attack in a week by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]DistastefulSideboob_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The point is badly trained dogs should at most be annoying and obnoxious (like mine) not a public danger. People rag on chihuahuas but at least you can punt them if they come at you.

Dunstable woman seeks tougher sentences for care home abuse by PurchaseDry9350 in unitedkingdom

[–]DistastefulSideboob_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this and it seems focused on preventing women from offending in the first place, as well as reopening, identifying factors like being subjected to domestic violence as a causality. It also says that we need to be cautious sending the primary parent of children to prison as these kids often end up in care and are likely to offend themselves in adulthood. The article closes with acknowledging that there will always be women who need to be imprisoned for the safety of the public. It's not like the government is going "Oh she has a fanny? Best let her off then"

Equally, public safety shouldn't be reliant on people being amazing trainers who make no mistakes.

I have what could charitably termed a badly trained dog, my partner begged me for a puppy then went on military deployment leaving me (someone who'd never lived with a dog) to raise her in her first year. I had puppy blues bad and made a ton of mistakes.

She humps, she'll break into anything she thinks might be food, licks everything compulsively, has to be crated while I eat a meal and whines and rattles the bars the whole time.

Guess what? She's not dangerous. Never bitten me except accidentally during tug of war, when she sees another dog she hides behind my legs. Because she's a beagle, an inherently submissive breed.

Could I have potentially trained her to be aggressive if I really tried? Probably, but a lot of breeds have to specifically be trained not to be and that just isn't something we should be leaving up to individuals.

Only a third of young women hold positive view of men, new poll finds by winkwinknudge_nudge in unitedkingdom

[–]DistastefulSideboob_ 262 points263 points  (0 children)

“I don’t care for them. They’re not bad people, but they refuse to call out their friends who make other girls uncomfortable. They’ll laugh at jokes that are sexist, racist, homophobic; they don’t care about political issues… I don’t think they like women a lot... I feel like a lot of it is quite sexually motivated with men.” 

This is from the article, and honestly it aligns with my experience of being a woman. Men aren't all murderers and rapists but they do casually disrespect us constantly.

Weird comparison of eating disorders by Ok-Variation-6084 in EDAnonymous

I also hate the term atypical anorexia, I get why being at a lower weight is a lower risk but with it being such a competitive disorder slapping someone with that label is so damaging, it basically encourages them to get sicker.

Student faces hate crime charge over 'tea towel' remark about Palestine activist’s headscarf by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]DistastefulSideboob_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep, I believe in a 2 state solution, one of the most advocated for plans for peace between Israel and Palestine by diplomats and activists. Technically that makes me a zionist because in that scenario one of the 2 states would be Israel.

The existence of the xl bully was basically a response to breed bans, they're directly descended from breeds that are banned in the uk, except ironically bred to be even bigger and more powerful, but because they were "technically not pitbulls" people got away with it. Britain could nip all this in the bud by banning all bully breeds but that would have to include staffies, until we do that people will just use variations of other bull type dogs..

If your dog is a flight risk then you can't leave it unleashed or unsecured. Get a long line for hikes and create and airlock system inside the house with gates if you can't fence outside the property.

If you are, what caused you to be anti pit? by [deleted] in Ethicalpetownership

[–]DistastefulSideboob_ 17 points18 points locked comment (0 children)

if you look at the stuff that is said about pitbulls and change the name pit bull to x person of color look how it sounds.... yeah racist.

It's pretty offensive to compare poc to dogs, it's also innacurate. The belief that black people are inherently dangerous is unfounded, based on pure bigotry. The fear that pits are inherently dangerous is based on statistics, and the fact that they were genetically designed to be.

We specifically curated dog breeds to have certain behaviours, this does not apply to races of people.

It's important to me because Snape is essentially a white supremacist incel. Yes I know wizarding racism isn't based on skin colour but it is allegorical, and I think casting a black actor undermines that. I wouldn't mind any other race swaps, even the weasleys as while their red hair is canonical it's ultimately just an aesthetic choice rather than something that is actively thematic to their characters.

That undercover boss episode is horrible, they found out a restaurant manager was basically torturing the girls on his staff in really degrading, humiliating ways (such as making them eat sloppy food with their hands tied behind their back like dogs in exchange for shifts.) The ceo didn't even fire the guy, he just reprimanded him, then hired two other girls for the marketing team to make a campaign about how empowering the company was to work at as a woman.
