Thank you! I will definitely read up on the listed studies once the holidays are over.

I glanced at a few of the most recent studies, and something’s that stood out to me were that they delt with single locations. Usually large hospitals in or around urban areas. The studies focusing on a single geographical location without looking into confounding factors, since some of the studies aren’t about breed in the first place, limit the usefulness of their data on attacking dog breeds.

It does point towards a trend, I am not disputing that. Maybe this is just one or two of the studies that I looked at. Anyways, have safe and pleasant holidays!

I would love some sources on their temperament compared to other dogs.

One issue is that the data cited often is collected from news stories with the breed of the dog being guessed at more often than not. This leads to two significant problems. One is that any dog attack that’s reported on will probably be severe. Other dog bites that are serious but non-sensational will not be counted. Two is that the dogs breed is haphazardly guessed at by either reporters or involve parties. Simply looking at a dog, especially a mix, it can be difficult to ascertain the breed and so one might just call them a Pitbull as a guess. Although I can’t find data I would assume that pit bulls are used more often than other breeds for dog fighting, but I am ready to look at statistics and sources rather than simply confirm my own biases.

I encourage everyone to watch this video about “The Pitbull Problem”.

It’s not about how cute and cuddly they are. It’s not news stories of them attacking kids. It’s a look at the cultural narratives surrounding them and the actual data about Pitbull attacks.

I think that disabilities would still exist, but they would be limited to the poor and lower classes who couldn’t afford the magic treatments. It really depends on how commonplace magic is and varies by the setting.

A big part of this is that the existing technology ISN’T a magic fix. It has side effects, it works differently than traditional hearing does and this requires long periods of adjustment and learning to bear with it. Literally being able to magic your hearing back to what it naturally should be doesn’t have those significant downsides.

I would guess that the vast amount of people with serious disabilities, paraplegic, blind, deaf, would jump at the opportunity to correct their issues.

That would go doubley so for someone who lives in a d&d style world with far greater dangers and less accomodations than our own.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

This take is pretty dumb. If someone is taking hostages, and killing some hostages guarantees that the purpertrator can’t take future hostages, it’s a shorty but understandable tradeoff. In the context of of the Israel/Gaza conflict it is infinity more complex. Please read about the history of the region and the nature of the conflict.

While I agree that Palestinian civilians are suffering on a much larger scale, the crimes of Hamas and the suffering of innocent Israelis should not be discounted.

Israel is a apartheid ethnostate, so it’s a model country for white nationalist.

This is a horrible idea.
