I think it's more survivorship bias. Agressive big dogs are going to be targetted and put down more often, since they're more of a physical threat. Small dogs likely get passed over more often.

Also, well-behaved small dogs are maybe much more common than thought to be, but go unnoticed since they're quiet.

    So these are both supposed to be from a Parisian's perspective i think?

    So the first one about not resisting pickpockets was during the Paris Olympics, but that wasn't a general sentiment by the french at all, that was the Paris Police communicating that, and their specific reason was to keep cases of stabbings down since pickpockets often carry knives. That was not a 'think of the pickpocket's family' scenario.

    The second is a Frenchman or Perisian visiting the US and not tipping i think. Eh, this is an actual sentiment for - frankly even many Americans. Not great, but neither is the tipping culture itself.

    Imagine your worst manager looking over your shoulder right when you were looking at this. If you'd imagine you'd be in trouble, then the content is 'Not Safe For Work'. It's pretty straightforward. This content would get me fired if I got caught looking at it, so it deserves an NSFW tag.

    That has less to do with the switch 2 and its price, and more about what 'fuck Nintendo' has always been about: Nintendo constantly being litigious, overpriced, and a totally locked-down ecosystem. Ultimately, that's why folks rag on nintendo. If chode didn't sue every game spinoff out of existence, attempt to shut down tournaments not sponsored by them, and all the other variety of scandals they've been involved, there'd be less ragging on them in general.

    Car accidents. All collision types become more likely as speed increases, and injuries increase with that - not chance of injury, total injuries. Bench seats were abandoned for bucket seats because bench seats are objectively more deadly when analyzing car crashes.

    You need to limit the speed a vehicle can go if you're going to make unsafe designs acceptable again, otherwise you're just gambling with lives for fun cabin interiors.

    UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

    unban log screenshot

    I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in vegan@lemmy.dbzero.com, which is a more reasonable ban. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.


    So it seems i've gotten a month-long ban in..... over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.

    Screen cap of comment for posterity:

    It's directly replying to a comment saying they can't imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it's satirizing people's mental gymnastics about fishes' pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.

    It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.
