It was confirmed he's disqualified from serving and it happened at some point during the enlisting process. There's just no proof if it was because of the exam or if he even got that far. What makes it sorta credible is that him being disqualified actually was news that the handler shared first and then later confirmed by a Marine spokesperson

Reminds me of that guy who was arrested after his interview to join the police force. They get to talking and just admit to fucked up stuff.

I dont think so but theres a strong chance you didnt word it well

Not really. We've had friendly interactions since breaking up which briefly turned into a FWB situation and then that faded. I mean we're still friends on social media and we'd interact friendly if we ran into each other but it's been years since we actually talked and I'm not going to go out of my way to break the silence.

Yes and no. If there's 1 adult and 25-30 students, it's not that hard to switch over to something you're not supposed to be on while the teacher is currently working with a different student. Although they'll probably get distracted and caught when the teachers turns their focus on them plus at the end of the period when they don't have anything done there can be consequences.

That's on brand.

Not really. Definition of stereotype: "a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing." Right, but what I said about dogs based on statistics isn't "oversimplified", and it's "fixed" because the statistics are fixed, and always will be fixed. So the definition of "stereotype" is nonsense, as is your usage of the word. And I wasn't "shocked" by a Husky attacking a baby, I was simply making the factual statement that it is unlikely that a Husky would attack a baby, although it is possible.

Statistics is the best guess of the center of the population but is essentially meaningless when talking about a singular individual. Using incomplete statistics to predict the actions of an individual is the literal definition of a stereotype. And if you've never heard of a statistical tie then you probably don't understand confidence intervals and if you don't understand confidence intervals then you know next to nothing about statistics.

The statement makes sense. German Shepherds are dangerous, but they are also smart. Yes, it is not recommended for a child to punch a German Shepherd, but if one did, it is unlikely the dog would maul the kid. The dog would likely be shocked, upset, confused, etc, and maybe growl, but it would probably not attack the child. Now, if a child REPEATEDLY punched a German Shepherd, well then, all bets are off. But think of it this way: What kind of kid would punch a German Shepherd? Let alone MULTIPLE times. In the event of some disturbed child behaving that way, any repercussions to that kind of goofy behavior should surprise exactly no one. For the record, German Shepherds, while potentially dangerous dogs, and very good pets. They are not statistically known to attack kids almost ever, and they are not known for random attacks on adults either. It's possible, but highly unlikely. That's pitbull territory.

Your bias for German Shepards is not statistics. You have an oversimplified image of all German Shepards. They don't all fit the mold you have inside your head. There are many German Shepards that have unprovoked attacked children. In fact, looking at actual statistics it looks like German Shepards and Pitbulls only have a 5% difference in attack rates.

I think schools should still allow "dumb phones" in case the person has an emergency and actually needs to call someone. But as for smartphones, sure, ban away.

If theres a room phone and adults are trained that shouldnt even be necessary

The dog and the baby should have never been left alone by themselves.

Do we even know they were left alone together? Think about how weak a newborn is, how strong a husky is, and how the adult's reflexes compare to that of a husky. It could happen right in front of the adult and they'd likely be to slow to stop it.

Mew posted...

The ratio of pit bull maulings vs huskies is probably like 500:1 lol

The ratio of bad husky owners to bad pit bull owners is definitely not 1:1.

Weird how two people immediately chimed in with the word "stereotype". Very bizarre. I know a lot about dog breeds in general, so I know what I'm talking about. And I'm a proud owner of a German Shepherd (the best dogs, in my opinion, with Golden Retrievers a runner up).

Also, I'm not going by "stereotypes", that's an odd word to use when referring to dogs. I'm going by statistics. You can look up the stats for dog attacks. Pit Bulls attack and kill humans more than any other dog breed, followed by Rottweilers being the second deadliest dog. German Shepherds are the 3rd most dangerous dog, but they are a DISTANT 3rd after Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. So no "stereotypes" involved here. These are stats tracked over a very long period of time for these breeds, so this is accurate information about which dogs are the most dangerous in general, and which ones are prone to random attacks. When it comes to random, unprovoked attacks, Pit Bulls are the clear winner, and everyone knows this.

Anyway, yes, it's possible that a Husky randomly attacked a baby. But unlikely. If it were a Pit Bull though, no one would be surprised.

Your post seemed shocked that an individual dog didn't behave the same as the aggregated average of all dogs in that breed and stereotype is a good descriptor for that. You say German Shepards are the 3rd most dangerous breed but you also said German Shepards are highly unlikely to cause serious harm if punched in the face by a child. Those statements don't agree. It sounds like you used an anecdote of one German Shepard and generalized it to the whole breed, a stereotype. Yes the attack rates between breeds isn't even close but before we jump to correlation = causation I'd like to see just one study taking training quality into account. I've seen so many people/sites rank breeds based on friendliness, aggression, etc. but I've never seen one let 2 breeds have a statistical tie. I'd love to see a breed comparison that used confidence intervals and other statistical analysis methods.

Even a kid annoying or punching a German Shepherd would unlikely cause a German Shepherd to seriously attack a child.

You are too reliant on stereotypes

Chud logic and the logic of the mainstream media are now 100% the same:

If Trump's crimes don't go to trial: "see this means Trump is smart and knows how to game the system. This will just make Americans support him more."

Trump does go to trial and wins: "see Trump is invincible, this will just make Americans support him more."

Trump does go to trial and loses: "see Trump is being persecuted unfairly, this will just make Americans support him more."

In college a psychology professor said to my class, If its not falsifiable then its not science. Youre dealing with a pseudoscience claim. Feels like that also applies to cults.

Southernfatman posted...

While other big dogs might not get as much scrutiny as pits, I think most people realize they are also a possible danger. Still to be fair, pits do deserve at least some of extra attention they get because they are so powerful.

That implies pit bulls are significantly stronger than huskies and I dont think thats the case

Southernfatman posted...

Is anyone even doubting that the dog mauled the baby? This seems odd to say. Nobody should have big aggressive dogs around small children, pits or not.

There were people asking how the husky got into a crib. It jumped, husky is a big dog. Big dogs other than pit bulls often get a reputation of gentle giants and the owners dont perceive the threat.

Dudebusters posted...

I mean that's still negligence so uh

Also why is a 6 week old baby left unattended like at all. Most parents have the crib in their own room at that young

I admit I'm heated about this because it's such a needless death that could have been so easily avoided by even the slightest bit of actual care

Have you seriously never heard of a baby monitor? A lot of parents leave the room when the baby is asleep. Its the whole point of those things.

Dudebusters posted...

No it shouldn't be to any responsible parent

Leaving a six week old baby unattended with an animal is absolutely extreme negligence. Even a well meaning animal could accidentally harm a baby that young. This wasn't some freak unforeseeable accident.

We dont know the particulars. Maybe the door didnt get shut all the way after a 2am feeding.

Dudebusters posted...

That's still extreme negligence tho which is my entire point

I dont disagree but Id bet money its very common amongst pet owning parents. They dont understand their animal can be an unpredictable threat.

Dudebusters posted...

Yes but why are you leaving said baby open to the dog unsupervised in the first place when it's a literal 6 week old baby

Couldve been they didnt close the door all the way out of fear the click would wake the baby and they didnt perceive their family pet as a threat. A lot of pet owners dont.

Dudebusters posted...

Six weeks isn't remotely enough to know how an animal may react to a baby to leave them together unsupervised

Six weeks is long enough to develop a false sense of security

Dudebusters posted...

I'm not sure this is relevant to my question. The dog would have still had to get into the crib. Frankly, a drop-side crib would have made it easier, right? Or am I missing something? My point is like how negligent do you need to be that your baby is left so unattended that a dog can climb into the crib and maul them?

If the crib is on another floor with a baby monitor, sure youd hear the dog but itd be hard to sprint in there and pull the dog off before it bites.

Dudebusters posted...

Like I don't wanna conspiracy theory here, but I gotta ask how did the dog get into the crib to attack the baby in the first place, unnoticed? I just have questions.

A husky jumping into a crib isnt an unreasonable feat.

holding up that attitude towards felons is harmful to those felons who are just trying to get their lives back together and be productive members of society. Like we are still fighting for the right of felons to be able to vote in some states, and some self-proclaimed progressives are throwing those same movements and people under the bus so they can play respectability politics.

A felon after they've served their time and Trump who is pre-sentencing aren't the same thing.

Its the same feeling I get when people cheer about bad things happening in red states because they deserve it for being under Republican control.

How did you feel when George Floyd's killer went to jail? To me that felt like justice that I didn't think would happen. Cheering that justice worked is an OK thing to do, albeit insensitive to the guy's family, but at that moment I was more concerned with George Floyd's family. Cheering here, that a guilty man was found guilty, is cheering the justice system.

They should be reintegrated into society after they served their sentence.

Like why does he care so much about the masculinity of men around him

I don't know what he's talking about. There's still action movies with a strong male lead. There's still big sports stars. Macho men have never gone away. He's got to be consuming too much right wing media outrage.

Does he think he comes off as dominant masculine? His whole show his him being wishy washy and a bit whiny.

Anyway, bookmarks are for things I'm gonna want to revisit regularly. My tabs are more like a glorified to do list.

That's how I treat tabs vs bookmarks, but you have too many things on your to do list.

You can see it with Dooku, even. He was afraid that the Republic was losing control and he wanted to peace and order to the galaxy. His fear led to frustrations with the Council, who ignored his concerns. His frustrations turned into Anger. His anger at the growing corruption in the galaxy was stoked and fueled by Palpatine, thus leading him to hate the Jedi and fall into the machinations of Palpatine. Eventually leading him to spearhead the spinning off of the CIS from the Republic. His fear led to his and his hate causing him to bring about suffering.

Point being, it wouldn't matter if you had different factions because to become more powerful in the dark side, you have to feed on the suffering you cause. Which is caused by hate, which is caused by anger, which is caused by fear.

We should see more journeys to the dark side. Dooku may have that complex past but in the movies he just comes off as generic bad guy. Id like to see an example of evil through good intentions or other paths that TC mentioned.

The Jedi Order and the Sith are both recipes for unhappiness. The Jedi Order is SO restrictive, pious, and disorganized that it turned people into Sith. The Sith were obviously bad, but the Sith from Ahsoka (the big guy with the white beard) used to be a Jedi Knight and it seems like hes beginning to see that both the Jedi and the Sith arent getting the job done. I think hes going to take his apprentice and possibly team up with Ahsoka to make a new order, independent from the Jedi Order or the Sith. Just force users who train each other and learn about their powers (what I assume the Jedi Order used to be).

Thats where the Disney trilogy really missed the mark. Lukes knights stumbling round without all that history of cultural practices, they couldve explored some really interesting areas.

Have you seen Ashoka? That has some new evil force users. One is an indifferent killer for hire that has no hate but also gives zero fucks about others. Then theres a group that I dont want to spoil but their abilities appear to be a very different set of force powers.
