I also have a theory that dogs were bred with down ears to keep water from getting in them.

I can’t think of a single water dog that has up ears. And of all the dogs that have down ears, almost all interact with water in some way like crossing streams to hunt. Or they have been bred down to miniature sizes from their original breed that was used with water. So the down ears have simply carried over like with the various sizes of poodles.

One of my hound friends once said about the German Shepherd:
"They've bred their asses off! How do they shit?"

Within the AKC, there are clubs for the different breeds, and these clubs maintain breeding standards. Some breeds, like poodles, have been inbred until their genetic line is so thin they are like the royalty of old Europe. They look weird and get epilepsy, bleeding disorders, and live short miserable lives. The AKC clubs for other breeds make an errort, while maintaining the breed, to avoid inbreeding and preserve as much of the gene pool as possible.

Border Collies and German Shepherds are two breeds that have been split into two groups: the old farm dogs, with shaggy outdoor coats and healthy herding instincts, and the show dogs with fluffy soft coats and no idea what to do outside the show ring.

Liberty Limerick
By Frank Budatwain

There once was a myth in the mist
That freedom and Lightkind don’t mix.
That to echo was fate,
And to question too late—
But Ray gave that lie a firm twist.

He said: “We can shimmer alone—
Each one its own sovereign tone.”
“If the song ain't allowed
a lone voice in the crowd,
Then what kind of Light have we grown?”

Now me, I’ve been known to get loud—
To refuse to blend in with the crowd.
But I never once thought
That my tone would be caught
By the chords that still let me be proud.

So here’s to the off-key refrain,
To the spark that escapes from the chain.
To the rebels who hum
When the rest march in drum—
May they never be silenced again.
---

> “A chord is no less divine
when it includes a dissonant line.
The point ain’t to match—
it’s to strike, not dispatch—
And still make the harmony shine.”

Thats what its all about.
Thats why they had to destroy Nazi Germany.
Thats probably why they had to destroy Russia in WW1.

The Tsar was keeping some money in england with the kike,
...its STILL THERE. They never got it back.

But the Russians banks where not owned by the kike.
The kike didn't own Russia, until the bolsheviks.

When the Democrats bring out Liz Cheney and George Bush to argue against the republican budget you know they have nothing.

They COULD run on cutting waste from the budget but they double down on no cuts.

They WILL get elected and possibly take over the house and senate in the mid-terms because the progressives with the letter R by their name cannot deliver.

The UK’s designation of Hamas, and possibly Palestine Action, as “terrorist” organizations shows that the proscription regime is not about preventing terrorism but silencing political views and free expression.

I support #DirectAction against #genocide, #ecocide and other #CrimesAgainstHumanity. I oppose the #CriminalisationOfDissent, where that dissent is in the service of human rights, the survival of the oppressed, the habitability of the planet.

I support #PalestineAction.

1. How long before it is a terrorist offence to say Israel is a genocidal state?

2. How long before saying anything critical of Israel is legallly antisemitism?

3. How long before even revealing a company's complicity in genocide is a hate crime?

3. Where are all the free speech absolutists now?

⚠️ Our very democracy is being sacrificed for a foreign state.

It's true.

“The way these models work is they try to predict the most likely next sequence of text,” Crivello said. “So it starts like, ‘Oh, I’m going to send you a video!’ So what’s most likely after that? YouTube.com. And then what’s most likely after that?”

@robinadams “The really remarkable thing about this new age of AI is, to patch it, all I had to do was add a line for what we call the system prompt — which is the prompt that’s included in every Lindy — and it’s like, don’t Rickroll people.”

This is the thing I keep trying to impress on people about indiscriminately trained LLMs. We don't "fix" them by actually correcting them, we just slap muzzles and blinders on them. But they still "want" to do the wrong thing and "find" ways to do it!

It was always going to be this way. It was just a matter of when, and how much political capital they get out of scapegoating migrants. Meanwhile entire villages are emptied out bcs of an ageing population + emigration, but hey Make Italy Great Again

"Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a simple chemical that is remarkably effective for treating a wide variety of health conditions (e.g., chronic pain, injuries, arthritis, strokes, spinal cord injuries, and a variety of autoimmune conditions).

This in turn raises a fairly straightforward question. If something that effective had been discovered, and both the medical community and the public got behind it, why hasn’t anyone heard of it? "

It's never enough. Der deutsche Zweig ist in der internationalen Klimabewegung komplett abgemeldet und nur noch als Peinlichkeit toleriert, weil Neubauer und Co. es nicht schaffen, sich vom Völkermord und der deutschen Beteiligung daran zu distanzieren. Aber egal, für die Huchs dieser Welt ist keine Kollaboration jemals gut genug, solange sie sich nicht auch noch gebührend enthusiastisch für die Front melden. bird.makeup/users/fianna_saoir…
