Yes, but I also know that the dog will have baseline instincts that cannot be fully controlled or removed, regardless of training or the owner. This is why we have such categorizations for dogs specifically, because of how impactful they are on them compared to most pets.
And anyone attempting to force a dog into denying their own natural urges is not only torturing them with stress and confusion, but likely creating a ticking time bomb of acting out in some form. This could simply be incontinence and other stress behaviors all the way up to violence.
You can healthily give a herding or hunting dog an outlet in a normal family with some consideration. A pitbull cannot be, it needs something most families cannot come close to providing and treating it as purely an owner issue keeps these people ignorantly assuming they can.
There was no approval of it. Only acknowledgement that if I bought a Border Collie, it will try to herd things purely based on its genetic code with zero provocation and trying to prevent it from doing so will have negative consequences.
Something we acknowledge as fact in nearly all other dog breeds, baseline instincts from their specific breeding history, except pitties who just don't somehow.
Unfortunately, a lot of the conditional parts are being pushed in deeper by Trump using it to leverage blue states into actually enforcing the law, such as actually arresting illegals.
Such a thing might come to bite us in the ass in the future, if not already, but its also seemingly the only way to actually get the treasonous Lefties to actually do anything besides tantrum and resist.
I can't imagine a pet lover participating to begin with.
Since its voluntary, its probably just for people who want to "do good" without feeling like an asshole dropping their pet off at the pound to be killed anyway. At least this way that unwanted guinea pig gets actually used, instead of thrown in the trash after being put down. It seems cruel in a lot of ways, but everyday pets are being discarded for worse reasons and will continue to be because humans are human.
Its like those baby drop off boxes. Horrific of an idea, but better than the likely alternative.
I love that we have an entire industry around pure breeding dogs and how much it effects their brain chemistry to a point of pure instinctual behaviors, and people recognize this fact to the tune of thousands of dollars for puppies.
Except pitbulls, they are just Tabula Rasa slates with nothing there.
Most gooners have long since given up on dreams and thinking about their future in anyway beyond "die of something stupid like an OD before 50." They are the actual end of Men Going Their Own Way, and that way is pure hedonism.
You aren't going to shame them into changing, thoughts of a beautiful family and Americana Dreams mean nothing to their broken, nihilistic outlooks on life.
Its really amazing how many of the same arguments used against porn, and other vices, mirror those used for Prohibition back in the day.
But nobody wants to acknowledge that because most of these guys want to have their beers still and also that was "government bad overreach" so its totally different this time and will absolutely work.
Porn is wildly addicting.
The fact that you say this and assume its an innate issue instead of a problem with you says a lot.
Porn is bad on levels that all of us could write essays on, but if you find it "wildly addicting" that's a sign of your own life or brain having a greater problem that needs addressing, of which porn is merely the coping mechanism.
We need to curb the problem porn is doing on our populations, but attacking the end result as if it itself is the actual problem is as foolish as the War on Drugs was to stopping that crisis. We need to curb the problems that drive people to want to consume porn on a level that they can even become addicted in the first place.
That's why I said it was a great idea once, and might have been still if we never went away from it, but at the current juncture its only going to make things worse with little truly gained.
We can't look at any problem in a vacuum, all of them need to be dismantled and dealt with in the correct order to truly start to fix things.
Tooie is a lot of busy work with not a lot to show for it. Like multiple steps for a Jiggie that would have been singular in the original, with almost no fanfare for even getting it beyond throwaway (those little jingle celebrations when you get the big plot token go a long way to making them feel worth something). It was great at showing how interconnected they could make the worlds, but by the second half it just felt like a slog.
I enjoy the first half a lot, until you get to "oh you need to come back here through a shortcut unlocked 3 levels later to do 1/3 parts of this Jiggie's quest!" and then it spirals down. Anytime I feel the desire to play it again, I just do Kazooie and enjoy it more.
The Tag Anywhere mod for DK64 actively ruins any challenge or thought the game has in the name of QoL ease. Most bananas (colored or golden) are deliberately placed to be challenging for X Kong to reach, and not so for Y Kong, so half the goal is "how do I get fucking Chunky here." When you can swap on the fly you just negate most of that, and you just as soon not even have multiple characters.
There are certainly spots where its meaningless busywork to run back to swap for something, not a perfect system. But even they knew that, its why the colored bananas (the big complaint people always have about it) only require 75/100 to be considered "complete." And only the final level needs a hair more than that to unlock the boss.
I don't fault people for playing with the mod, but for a first time playthrough its absolutely ruining.
Honestly there was plenty of friction immediately between those who came from Twitter (like Hat and the TIA folks) and guys like me who came from 4chan because it was getting banned off /b/ there and wouldn't have been caught dead on reddit otherwise.
That was probably the original "disillusioned Leftie versus Right wing memester" schism that would go on to be repeated each time.
If they merely own property, but do not actually live there, then they are not resident land owning voters with stakes in the policies of that land and community
They are still taking up land and property that can no longer be accessed by the populace. They are increasing their voting power by literally removing large swaths of their opposition from voting period. Again, an easy move for billionaires or foreign influence to swing entire Red states Blue by buying out entire Red towns with their infinite money and connections. They wouldn't even need the nodamic or illegals anymore, they could just make their own vote count for more by removing millions through sheer power of money.
They could literally turn a town into a fiefdom by selling a single house to a stooge of their choosing to be the only voting capable individual in the local elections. Repeat it across dozens and control counties and even up to entire States.
Your proposal removes one problem and opens another one if we do not solve the issues with our current housing problems beforehand. Its jumping in without consideration of the consequences. We could simply remove the illegals and make government assistance a disqualifier for voting and accomplish much the same without the side effect of disenfranchising just as much of our own side.
I just wish DK64 wasn't the pinnacle of collectathon platformers, and they continued to make them after it came out.
Because its nowhere near as bad as people make it seem, usually its revealing themselves to just be bad at the game and blaming the game for it (sans a few things like the bonus games near the end being quite terrible), and we could have so much more interesting things happening with now decades of technological improvement towards physics engines and environmental effects.
Instead its mostly relegated to indie games (where gimmicks or padding are used to disguise the short run times) and very rare Nintendo first party games that aren't saddled with retarded gimmicks (so basically Odyssey and seemingly the new DK game).
Also we need a timeline where Midway Games doesn't go bankrupt and continues to make arcadey fun games even into the era where things are all brown and serious. Sumner Redstone is my personal Jewish nemesis for what he did to that company, and I hope he is rotting in hell in the worst way possible.
The schism started well before Bane and Shad took control. Even before the David fiasco they tried to literally ban anyone who posted on T_D, because they didn't want to be associated with any dirty Right wingers in their "actually totally Leftist" revolt.
They probably assumed that if they focused on the most degenerate looking porn games, nobody would be willing to go to bat for them and look like a loser. Which is often a working strategy, but too many debanked people all took note of it and rallied people to the cause, making the porn aspect become a forgotten detail in showing just how powerful and unfettered these companies are.
Its a great example of showing how the "killing them softly" approach a lot of the Left/Elite use is going to backfire on them. Because they rely on debanking/cancelling/etc to just "kill off" their opponents and assume they will just either fall in line or disappear.
Instead it leaves a lot of tenacious guys with axes to grind and a lot of hate in thier heart for you. Guys whose hate bleeds into passion that is like a beacon to many others, and can bring them together to form an actual mass with some threat behind it.
We have far too many problems to return land ownership to being part of the deal.
Many towns are almost entirely owned by either rich out of state boomers, corporations, or overseas Chinese/Indian/whatever groups. To the point where alternatives are basically non existent if you didn't buy it decades ago (and they likely muscled most of those guys out too), and they can afford to just price raise out any undesirables (or flood it with Section 8s to milk government funding). Almost all of these groups would be Left voting, even if their tenants are entirely Right wing.
Not to mention if we make it a thing, that gives them more motivation than just money to abuse that. Soros alone can afford to buy out half of multiple red states just to remove their votes from mattering, and that's just one of the many NWO Lefties trying to control us. Suddenly it'll be in their best interest to disenfranchise every Red state through sheer money power, not only removing our ability to vote for ourselves but then also outright killing us via real estate exploitation (price out the dirty whites, flood the area with pet immigrants).
It was a great idea when there was nearly infinite land ready for the settling and taking, and it was a mark of a strong man to do so. But now its absolutely going to be used against us unless we solve a lot of other problems first.
Cruz almost seems chosen by God to be the failure catalyst that saves the Right over and over.
His complete fake persona during the 2016 campaign is what gave Trump the leg up he needed to go from joke candidate to real shot, because next to the GOP stooge Cruz he could only be better.
Then he spent all of that administration showing what appealing to MAGA guys could do for your image. He went from Lyin Ted to Lion Ted and had genuine support behind him. Even if he did fucking nothing with that, and it was all theater on his part, it was a shining beacon that Trump supporters were willing to back guys who fought back.
And now he has completely exposed the Israel problem to a wide audience in a way that cannot just be brushed off as "antisemitic conspiracy" completely. While its not "HAPPENING" levels, it'll likely be a foundational brick in any future dismantling of said toxic relationship between the two nations.
His failure of an existence has done more to destroy the GOP and their old ways than almost anyone, and he really deserves applause for continuing to help us all in doing so.
Likely because Fuentes is the "biggest" of the fringe right wing movements, or was at least for some years. And he is representative of most things wrong with them at that.
Its easy dunking material, and has a legion of easy converts from his ranks of single-brain celled followers who are pissed off and are obviously vulnerable to being convinced with a few appealing words.
Its likely very similar to Brietbart sending Milo to appeal to the Gamergate crowd when that was taking off, the legacy right wing seeing a fresh bunch of angry dissents to recruit from.
Thanks to Affirmative Action and most DEI policies that's really how a lot of places operate once you get above the entry level.
They won't say no to the white guys directly for being white, but they will happily waste their time to make it seem like their pet nigger/woman totally beat out all these qualified candidates and they worked so hard searching out quality hires for their boss/business.
I'm told their East Coast shows get pretty huge, which makes sense as they are local to Tennessee and are constantly touring around that area. Lots of fans and collabs to be had.
However, they very rarely come out to my area of the other half the country (West half but not West Coast) so its usually a small venue of like 50 people. Which probably keeps them from coming back short of big events.
Because for a lot of normies, they see it as this magical spiritual land where you can do buddhism level meditations that get you to that white girl "not religious but super spiritual" nonsense.
While all the negatives are just "look at the poor poverty browns, awww" instead of a legitimate nightmare.
Would it not be because there are 9000 publications defending him, while the ones against him are both rarer and pushed down by all the various search engines? Much the same way that every lie Wikipedia puts out has 9 citations per line (because every news source covered the lie) while any alternative is considered from a "bad site" and can't be used, leaving it without support.
So even if it wasn't deliberately told to act this way, the control they've had on media and the narrative for decades has made any AI useless on the subject because everything they could "learn" from is stacked against the truth.
Ironically, exerting maximum pressure to make it the truth.
A faithless elector is a delegate that doesn't vote with the delegation he was voted to.
I cannot thing of something literally less American, by definition of the reason this nation was founded, than this. It is literally some unspecified elite loser going against the will of the people to force his own will and invalidate millions upon millions of votes.
Ironically though, it only ever existed outside of a novelty back during the days when the Founding Fathers still lived with it seemingly only making a major difference of any kind during the first real election in this country after Washington retired.
Even more ironically, it happened a bunch in 2016, but almost all of it for the Dems with people going against Hillary.
There is something to be said about individual states acting above their stations in terms of international politics. In fact, its literally restricted from being allowed by the Constitution itself (Article 1, Section 10) in a lot of ways, but California and New York have flaunted that for so long that enforcing it now is hypocritical.
