That's exactly how I arrived at this theory. Went on a particularly nice bike ride last summer and suddenly remembered that feeling of freedom I got from owning my first bike.
It's the symbol of freedom because kids in north America are locked up until they start to drive.
Since you can't walk or cycle without risking your life, parents have to drive their kids everywhere until they are old enough to drive. This then is perceived as liberation.
Of course car centric infrastructure is the reason you need to be driven in order to be safe. It's the product of decade long lobbying by the car industry.
Well I didn't watch them 24/7 if that's the burden of proof now. I guess they treated all their dogs roughly the same though and for some reason the one whose breeding description essentially reads " Psychotic mauler of all that breathes" behaved accordingly.
Border Collie of a friend is trained to work with mentally ill kids (of course his training isn't that specific but that's what he does)
Anyways in his spare time he herds everything. When the wind piles up leaves he will run around that pile frantically barking at every single leaf that falls out of line. "Herding cats" lost all its appeal as a figure of speech to me, as i've seen him do it successfully.
If you're suggesting my neighbours trained her to be aggressive - they didn't - it was their family dog, they did the standard obedience training (sit, stay...) but no protection training.
All their other dogs (german shepherds) were friendly.
My neighbours had a small hunting terrier when i was a kid, forgot the name of the breed. Fucking asshole dog tried to bite me every time she saw me although i went in and out there every day. Also she killed everything that moved, cats, birds, hedgehogs, ...
Neighbour was a hunter and those fuckers were bred to follow badgers into their sett and kill them. Badgers can be quite nasty themselves so most animals stay away, but not this breed. Only chance the badger has is to kill the dog, even if half of its nose is bitten off, it doesn't give a shit.
So I'm a bit sceptical about the whole "aggression is not bred" theory.
An agnostic doesn't believe it's possible to know if god exists. A gnostic thinks it's possible.
Agnosticism is about knowing, atheism about beleiving. So if you don't know if god exists but firmly believe the idea is a load of crap you're an agnostic and an atheist.

What's keeping me from doing this is that i won't be able to run my banking apps anymore then. And I can't be arsed to carry two phones
It's so monotone, so offensively boring! I'll never get how this garbage became this successful
Both for me, plus "Take me home, Country roads"
Anyone of these three can kill my mood in an instant and make me want to break the neck of everyone happily singing along.
Talk to a bike courier if you get the chance to. The amounts of calories they burn in a shift is ridiculous.
Yeah, if you bring up cycling, all of a sudden everybody needs to transport a fridge to another town in the rain.
yeah but it's almost cheating. Sagall is the worst choice, the question almost doesn't matter
You're thinking of Alice Cooper https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot1t9KZRsV4&list=PLAOj_bjbXN1YGZqCGw26osPoa7w8-i6Dq&index=3&pp=iAQB

Friend of mine hadn't ever seen a newborn baby before she gave birth. She was quite shocked when her newborn daughter "looked like an old man"
Don't know M.D. but the closest i know is Ginger Ale from Schweppes.

"Ladydudes" is the way to go.
Lol. My favourite exchange on lemmy so far!
Me as a kid, having just learned english, listening to Janis Joplin: "What the fuck is a mercy dispense!?"
well he's not wrong. Not going quite far enough though.
