  • pacman in my opinion is the easiest package manager ive used but even so if it is that difficult then they can use a GUI package manager that would come pre installed on most GUI arch based distros

    Recognizing that’s your opinion, in my opinion it’s the hardest I’ve used. The commands are all flags, so you have to remember letters instead of “install” or “upgrade” if you want to use any packages outside of the like 4 in the official repos, you have to enable AUR, which is effectively just installing from source from some random person’s GitHub repo, in which any number of things can go wrong. I mean, there’s a reason there exist a bunch of different wrappers for pacman.








  • Yes, owner surveys over tens of thousands of individuals regardless of breed meaning no implicit bias. The survey finds the same result across all breeds, the survey isn’t specific to pits.

    You really thought you did something there didn’t you? Please learn to trust science over inflammatory media

    Like if everyone claimed they had a perfect puppy, your critique would hold water, but flaws were reported across all breeds…




  • Okay, because I saw you’re a fan of banpitbull subreddit.

    I need to ask a very simple question. Do you care about actual safety, or do you just want pitbulls banned? Like what is your goal?

    Because all science in the last 5 years states people, not pitbulls, are the problem. Globally. That’s the issue.

    If you actually want “less harm and death done” then you need to listen to the scientific experts and stop pushing for BSL, and instead push for things that move towards the goal of less harm and death.

    But okay let’s address the rest now

    Are you shitting me? https://financesonline.com/number-of-dogs-in-the-us/

    You don’t need to have a census to have a pretty damn good idea of how many there are. And you all keep telling me that I’m disingenuous.

    You say that and then the link you provided did not give me a very good idea about per capita of the breeds… I have no idea how many of any breed there are.

    This is a persons representation of a study. Not the study. but it links to here (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639) So if breed has nothing to do with anything. How come there’s qualities organized by breed by the study? You can’t claim that behaviors aren’t affected by breed, then show me a study that shows a bunch of behaviors organized by breed. And you all keep telling me that I’m disingenuous.

    You are being disingenuous… Less than 9% difference across all breeds. A dog is a dog is a dog. Some howl, some don’t. Some are more active. A dog is a dog is a dog.

    Except this misses one big premise… Amount of cases can be exactly the same, but severity of each case can go down severely. Also amount of cases can be the same, but have less fatalities!

    Well it was counting hospitalizations… So it’s safe to say we’re only talking about severe ones…




  • Point of order: That’s not an appeal to authority. The other user was pointing out organizations that have actual expertise in the field. “Appeal to authority” is if they said “Bill Gates said pitbulls are fine”

    He’s an authority figure, but not expertise in the matter.

    Whereas the CDC, the humane society, the American veterinary association etc etc are actually experts in at least some part of the argument.




  • Of course the CEO equivalent exists in government. It’s just a management position. Equivalent services will need equivalent management.

    A CEO is not a manager. You’re already embarrassing yourself here 😉

    Perhaps you didn’t read my comment. I’ve been a treasurer for a number of medium size charities. I know exactly how much money is needed to support the charities objectives.

    I did read your comment, but I kinda assumed you either were lying or getting really defensive. There’s a lot of waste that wouldn’t exist if they were consolidated into the government.

    Do you realize that there are multiple charities for the same thing, which just means more and more waste?

    For example?

    Yeah sure, since it’s already been brought to. The red cross does blood donations, but they’re only 35% of America’s non profit blood donations, there’s also America’s blood centers and vitalent and more! So much overhead! If they were all one organization, you could eliminate much of the overhead and more effectively coordinate the blood donations.

    Sorry mate, this is just an absurd thought bubble borne of naivety. Get involved in a charity and you’ll understand why it exists.

    Sorry mate, but you’ve got your head up your ass and you’re getting defensive.

    I have been involved in both charities and government.
