If anything, trying to paint this as just "bad owners" is the more race essentialist version of this argument. That argument attempts to place blame on people who own them over the dogs themselves, who likely happen to skew towards lower income folks which implies a race skew as well. But, a "bad owner" would do a lot less harm with a Lab or even a Chihuahua than they would with a pit bull.

It's not just bite strength or temperament, it's that these dogs are intentionally bred to go for the kill when their fight instinct is triggered. Nobody sets out to be a bad owner, or believes they are one, and other breeds don't kill when they bite regardless of who their owner is. Eliminating "bad owners" isn't really a problem that can be solved to reduce dog bite statistics, at least without specific regards to breed, because it is specifically this breed with those "bad owners" that is the issue.

It's a deflection. Dare I say, it's projection.

If you're spending minutes scrolling then I don't think the post is the problem here

Your reader should have a way to open and zoom in on the full resolution version if you fullscreen the image. Mine has a "HD" icon in the top right.

Some dude would most definitely be keeping them as pets

Jesus Christ. You've canvassed every fucking comment in this thread, and this one is actually doing what you want. Give them a break.

I don't think they were advertising it that way, the label in the picture says security glass. The reddit post is just poorly titled.

The switch cartridges have a bitterant added to them since they're small enough to be a choking hazard. It's not the smell of the construction material they're talking about.

This isn't plexiglass, it seems to just be laminated glass

There was a contracted security guard there at all times, a rule that you couldn't use any tools, and they called it off after a day when the bus stop frame started to weaken. Only $500 of real money was placed on top of a bunch of fake money.

Ford execs have floated it too

Yes but you're doing the punching on the basis of them being a nazi, not of them being a woman

Nobody said anything about taking the high road...

 

I've noticed that inline images will render to fill the available width of the comment they're on. This is much too large for some images, such as emotes that only have so many pixels to display and thus get blown out and fuzzy. I would much prefer inline images to render in their native resolution up until they reach the width of the comment. Is there already a way to change this behavior or is it not something that has been implemented?
