Impossible. Such a thing has never been done before - it's not like that was standard for practically every android phone for years

Because "mixed breed" dogs aren't a breed? That's my whole point.
What you're arguing is basically equivalent to this "psychopaths account for 26% of murderers, closely followed by people with brown eyes at 25%, why aren't we doing anything about the brown eyed menace!"
Lumping all mixed breed dogs just inflates the numbers, because - again - the vast majority of dogs are mixed breed.
Put another way, because I can tell you're having a hard time grasping this - mixed breed dogs account for 53% of all dogs in the US according to the AKC. Pit bulls account for just a hair under 6% (5.8, if you want the specifics). That means according to the stats in the article, any given pit bull is 10x more likely to bite than any given mixed breed dog.
Get it?
I don't mean the style, I mean the exact same layout, expressions, comedic formula, etc
I swear I've seen like 5 of these comics where the drawing is literally identical with only the dialogue changed
Not hating, obviously folks like em, just making am observation
"mixed breeds" just means any dog that isn't purebred, which is the vast majority of dogs, so it doesn't say much that they account for a lot of attacks
Yeah frankly the statistics are pretty conclusive. You can argue about bad owners all you'd like, and theres probably at least some truth there (if you're an asshole who wants a violent dog, you're of course going to choose a breed with a reputation for violence), but it's clear to any unbiased observer that pit bulls have a high tendency towards violence.
No one is advocating that we round up all the pit bulls and euthenize them (no sane person anyways), but that we stop breeding new ones. Frankly there needs to be a lot more regulation on dog breeding, besides violent breeds, there's no reason we should be breeding more (as an example) pugs, who are doomed to spend their whole lives suffocating just because some people like their squashed faces
I think it depends on the person. My self hosting is lean and mean - I don't bother setting up any of the complex meta-self-hosting stuff, my services just run on docker with port forwarding.
Additionally all my services are things I absolutely use daily. Very rarely does a day go by that I don't listen to audio books on my AudiobookShelf server, and my wife uses our Plex daily to watch her favorite shows, which also allowed us to ditch a few streaming subscriptions
If there's a cloud app that offers good value for the money - I use that instead, afterall self hosting isnt free, you pay with your time (and electricity bill, but that's negligible)
If you find that the only worthwhile thing you host is your file management stuff, why not just ditch the rest? There's no gold medal for "most things self hosted", the point is to make your life easier, not harder
I also think the term is granted way too much prestige, but a bit over a decade ago people also laughed at the notion of "Social Media Manager" being a real, high paying job
Who knows where this stuff will go
Why does it feel like every comic by this guy is drawn completely identically, just with different dialogue each time lol
Yeah I don't know about "par for the course"
What other generation had the threat of scientifically proven ecological collapse looming over them?
Where? Idk about your area, but in mine all the options are big corporate chains
And even in areas where family owned retail stores still survive, a lot of people can't afford to shop at them, because they'll always have higher prices than the big chains, and with the price gouging that's gone on since 2020, many families are struggling to make ends meet as it is.
That's a fair point, but "pit bull" being comprised of several sub-breeds isn't even kind of the same sort of umbrella as "literally every dog that isn't a pure bred"
And your neighbor being an idiot really doesn't have any relevance on the discussion
