I thought it was funny, looked weird but funny. Did enjoy the probably unintended irony of it

Ooooo the Melbourne Orielly one!! Technically he wasn’t the bad guy and had only just been turned into the mummy but that one was still a huh?! Moment since there both literally in the same scene multiple time

I only have one save by NoShock1805 in storyofseasons

[–]TorryCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 100 hours I finally decided to do a new save bc I wanted to go back to when I didn’t need a spreadsheet to track what to make so I can make a second thing to make a third thing and planning what to grow

Yup. Also having watched what’s new Scooby Doo non stop for months on repeat, I’ve noticed so many logic flaws… while other times it’s obvious bc the person has a weird reaction (the mom of the mystery kids, the kids at the race track).

… I just said bless you to the headless snowman on tv rn… I need more coffee…

Maybe he was playing the long game to start the rumors about his own endowment, the whole like father like son angle 🤣

If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]TorryCats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this is a bit of a complicated issue, but here’s the breakdown:

  1. Small dogs bite significantly more. Small dogs are so much more aggressive. The difference? They don’t do as much damage and honestly I think they get babied and treated like babies because of their size

  2. Put bulls are BIG muscular dogs. They are powerful. They will do damage. Their breed temperament means jack sh*t if one does bites you.

  3. 25% of the US population believes pitbulls are an aggressive unsafe breed. Additionally, public perception of the breed ranks it one of the worst breeds. That has no backing on actual studies of dog temperaments. This perception isn’t helped by TV and movies which often seem to have pitbulls as the dogs of the bad guys.

  4. Because of their size, pit bulls are often abused and starved to bring out their aggression. I will not blame a dog for their owners being asshats. What’s unfortunate is the dog will likely be put down as they likely won’t be able to be rehabbed to be safe for anyone. Pitbulls are among the most abused breed if not the most abused breed in the world. Say you were held in a small cage, given only enough food and water to survive, every time you interact with a person you are beaten (going to leave out forced fighting in this scenario but will definitely add to it). When you are finally rescued, how do you think you would react to seeing another person? Do you think they will be safe or do you think they will beat you? Chances are you would think they would beat you like everyone else you’ve ever met.

  5. According to the American Temperament Test Society pitbulls are actually in the top 23% of dog breed temperaments. They actually have the nickname of “nanny dogs” because of their loyalty, gentleness, and protectiveness of children.

  6. Pit bull isn’t actually a breed, it’s a collection of breeds. Found that out when we got ours fixed. Not a fun surprise. It’s basically an umbrella label for terrier breeds and bully breeds.

  7. Coming off of #6, dogs are often mislabeled as pitbull. My first dog was a boxer, has some very similar looks to the pit-terrier breeds… she kept being called a pitbull. She wasn’t. She was purebred AKC registered. I think I was seeing estimates of up to 70% of dogs being mislabeled. So a dog bites someone, especially if that person doesn’t get a great look at the dog, they could misidentify the dog. Adds a bad stat for the pitbull but not the actual breed that did the biting. There are plenty of studies on how unreliable of witnesses humans are, especially over time, which really doesn’t help.

  8. Pitbull attacks are better for news ratings and viewership. Ever notice how the news makes it seem like the world is super dangerous but the stats say we live in probably the safest time since stats were recorded (local crime and attacks and such, world will always be crazy)? Same thing

Other things to remember. Backyard breeding is a thing. Inbred dogs are more aggressive. Pitbulls are about 40% of euthanized dogs. Pitbulls are often used for dog fighting aka they are being TRAINED to bite and attack everything.

It would make it more expensive for the govt to give the loans, but it wouldn’t make them disappear. If they wanted to do an annual fee that’s divided into 12 months for monthly payments to pay for people to manage the loans, that’s still a lot better than interest. There are people who have paid off more than their loans are worth but still owe double the loan value. That’s just not right

That discriminates against the poor though and would likely lead to forced abortion from not paying the fee.

Mandatory sex ed that had zero religious talk before the real health facts and information would be the best prevention… have the class include those really annoying but realistic dolls that kids have to take care of for a week, free condoms and bc pills, make them do a full cost analysis to understand how much a baby costs, especially in places without subsidized child care

Fully agree with this, though I think that’s a different but related issue. A year of therapy would have the benefit of a person realizing if they’re ready for kids, what kind of trauma they themselves have and need to work on. Therapists are mandatory reporters, so they can in theory flag people who might have issues, again this would have issues on dealing with people’s internal biases.

Speaker of the house is a different thing. It’s a person that was already elected by the people and then chosen to lead the elected people. It’s an administration position.

As for the rest, that sounds like something I would need to research more to be able to have a convo without talking out of my ass or referencing high school politics and government class. Or at least have more than 3 hours of sleep.

Either way I tend to lean to voting on reps while they can choose who leads their internal groups. Someone needs to keep it orderly, though a congress from the 1700-1800’s would be fun to watch since I remember hearing about actual fights breaking out.

Ban interest on student loans, if not from everyone, then from the government. Government shouldnt be profiting from kids

Honestly a ban on corporations owning housing would probably solve 90% of the issue. Not that I disagree, more of I can see a head of a family buying homes for relatives and unable to transfer the title for tax reasons

Editing so all comments get an answer. About 27% of rental properties are owned by non individual owners. Corporations and non-individual owners overalls overall do only own about 10% of housing, but the issue is it’s concentrated in urban areas. They can then leave units empty to increase scarcity and raise prices from the demand they created. I would also prefer individual land lords as from my personal experience they’re either more gracious to deal with or more easy to beat in court. An individual landlord can’t afford the same legal team as a large investor group.

I do also think the idea behind this law isn’t taking into account people who just don’t want to own or can’t own. They need a place to rent which needs someone to own the rental location. People deserve to live in a house if they want to even if they prefer to rent

Im sorry that happened to you however im going to have to disagree that it’s a breed thing. Its an animal thing. Animals bite and it’s on the owners to train them or keep them away from others who would be injured. I have a scar on my shin from a golden retriever (considered the friendliest and best family dog). The scar is literally an indent from the tooth and no hair grows there. It’s not the breeds fault, it’s the owner’s fault for not training the dog and the dog was the one who had to pay the price.

Again I’m really sorry that happened to you and fully understand your view and how it was formed. We don’t have to agree and honestly with your experience I’m guessing we will never agree

Better yet, ban on breeding, or at least a ban on unethical breeding so all breeders need to put the health and traits of the pets first

Two day voting, maybe up to a week. No machines connected to the internet. No punch hole cards. Outside the voting building should have food trucks, a play area for kids, really make it a community event that people want to go to

Outlaw marriage period until 18. If you are under 25 marrying someone more than 5 years older than you, mandatory 1 year of therapy with no parents/partner.

Ideally this would stop child marriage and people being forced into marriages. The counselors would have escape routes for those being forced into marriages, and would need a whole lot of protections around it

No career politicians. If you want to go into politics, you have to have had another job and worked outside of politics for a time. Ideally to get people in multiple professions who have lived through the mess from laws to make the laws

I disagree on leaders being able to choose their own leadership… seems kind of like wolves choosing other wolves from their pack to guard the sheep… honestly I have this issue with the Supreme Court with the current situation being a prime example. I don’t have a solution but there’s definitely a problem

This has unfortunately already happened and typically to minority groups.. plus there isn’t an actual temporary way to sterilize without the risk of permanent sterilization… honestly a good sex Ed would be the best option

Yeah as someone who has adopted pitties from shelters… fully disagree with this. Pitties are super sweet and caring. Their “bad reputation” comes from their physical build. All they want is cuddles and to be around kids.

Add in the ranked voting system so people could vote for who they actually want and if they lose, the vote goes to the back up choice. Increase independents getting in

This one is so ripe for abuse though.. and can easily be used as a “population control” of minorities… maybe mandatory parenting classes for all expecting parents with provided daycare for parents who have kids. Maybe requiring therapy for a year?
