 My son would second that! When he was learning to walk, that tail would hit his back and down he'd go! It's was funnier then, bc the dog would think he wanted to play. She would lay down next to him and lick him. Just waiting for his attention, which of course he gave her. I think it took him an extra month to learn to walk because she kept distracting him so she could snuggle and play with her hairless puppy Lol amazing.

 You guys are cracking me up with stories on what your pitties are afraid of. Reminded me of another story with mine. When we first got her, I took her on a walk. In hindsight, I've learned that if she's unfamiliar with a place, she's already scared. So as we were walking, someone gently shut a car door and it k freaked her out so bad she popped up like popcorn, barks, and almost knocked herself out by running straight into a wall.Same here! Big, loud bark, but will run and hide behind me because he saw a fire hydrant while it was dark out. Buy it : Chadwick Boseman Rip 1977 2020 T-Shirt

 I know this was a joke but my boyfriend (black) won’t get any of these dogs because he doesn’t want to play into any stereotype specifically so people don’t call the cops on him for simply walking his dog. He wants to appear as not threatening as possible. So yes, he walks around with our 6lb chihuahua. Now I’m afraid someone will report our dog stolen!Nah, you can tell who the owner of a chihuahua is. It is the only person they will not bark at.OP Buy it : RIP Chadwick Boseman 1977-2020 Black Panther Shirt

  Thought this might be a good time to add that "asshole" behavior in dogs is mostly due to insecurity. Some dogs are naturally more insecure than others based on individual personalities but smaller dogs do tend to have more insecurities due to their size. And small dogs can definitely get away with more due to their human's tendencies to baby them more.Can confirm. One of my coworkers has an older Pom that will stare down the big dogs and snap at those unlucky enough to go in for a sniff. 11lbs of anger and teeth.

Pretty much any hound is going to be approved for suitable use for you since it opens up the redneck talent tree where you can now spec into a Deliverance build, a talent that is a racial exclusive to Caucasians.Like the other story from a couple days ago about the guy face timing with his mum and people thought he was recording children.

I really do think that we are all racist if we have grown up interacting at all with broader society. We all have beliefs and reactions shaped by racism. If you don't suck ass, you make yourself aware of them and check your own behaviours and attitudes. If you do suck ass, you look to punish minorities. I would suspect OP has a decent home (clearly with a yard and a good relationship with the neighbours) and a nice dog and this bitch wanted to take it away or at least punish him for it based on his race.

Whenever these kinds of situations prop up, the overall conclusion the reddit hive mind comes to is that the racist's pre-conceived notions shape the response they take. I.E. a racist is more likely to ignore logic and instead 100% believe that OP stole his neighbor's dog.This happens sometimes, but the truth in just as many cases is that the racist is FULLY AWARE that their story doesn't track. They don't care, because their game isn't misguided justice, it's pre-meditated malice. Buy it :  Pre K Squad Shirt Preschool Teacher Back To School Gift T Shirt

I used to work as a dog groomer, and a black family used to bring in their husky named “Trump”. I’m not kidding. Groomed that dog for two years before I asked them about the name. Told me, “it’s because he’s loud and dumb!”Everyone knows labs aren't not an acceptable dog for us black people it went out in the memo in 2010. Only pitbulls, rottweilers and German shepherds.

I don’t know if this lady was drunk or off her meds but she rolled down the window and was literally sobbing hysterically that she saw me take the dog from the neighbor’s yard, that animals get no justice and the icing on the cake? MY KIND only owns Pittbulls and Rottweilers. There was no way he was mine and needed to be protected. I honestly did not want to deal with that mess so sorry guys, this isn’t a tale of revenge; I went back inside and stayed the fuck on my couch. My day was already shitty.

It clicked that Driver had called the police and then explained my version of what happened. They were really respectful and apologetic but asked if I could get Sir Pup. I went ahead and opened the door for the dog who took off, ready to greet the new faces outside. His collar has tags matching the address with my name and phone number on it in case he was ever lost or stolen which was proof enough for them as it was obvious that they wanted to get this over as fast as possible.

I continue to watch the cameras realizing that yup, the cops are getting out of the car and walking back and forth in front of mine and neighbor’s yards. I go out to see if anything is wrong and they introduce themselves before saying they were called because a stolen Golden Retriever was reported at my address and if there was a dog in the home.I don’t know, people are weird so I just left it at that and went back to eat. About ten minutes later, dog starts going ham at the door so I check the cameras to see two police cars sitting outside my house.

I go outside and try to get her attention but she is on the phone and doesn’t notice me. I walk up like I’m going to check the mail and she does pull off, but towards the back of the neighborhood that only has one way in and one way out.

But she just stood there awkwardly for a moment, put the food down and quickly jumped back into her car. In my mind I was like, ”okay weird” but whatever. Snatched the food and went back inside. Went to wash my hands and from the kitchen window, I can see the full street where she is still parked outside. Thinking “okay weird...” again but didn’t dwell on it too much figuring that she was looking at the route to her next location.I went about my business of preparing to destroy my meal. Few minutes later, the dog begins barking manically at the door. I take a glance at the cameras and realize she is still out front parked directly in front of my mailbox.

Pup and I have a game called Runaway where I will take off yelling ”RUNAWAY” and literally he will chase after me like some human sized fetch-stick.

Both dogs were in the neighbor’s yard at the time the notification came through that the driver was pulling up and I had to call out a few times to get my dog’s attention. Neighbor thankfully whistled for her dog and I had to put on the ”voice” for mine to acknowledge I existed and then took off running for my door while waving to the driver who by this point was getting out of the car.I didn't have a mask on at this point and neither did she so I yelled from the porch that she could leave the food by the mailbox and that is where the fun started.

Pertinent details before shit hits the fan; my neighbor and I share a fence with a doggy door as our pups are super close and you can bet each time that if my dog is outside, hers will follow for cross-yard playtime.

Sr block party, we're currently using heuristics like data from follow graph (is this person followed by someone i'm following), blue checkmarks, recent interaction with a user, is a profile photo set, is this a very new account, does this user have very few followers, etc. each of this is configurable by the user. these heuristics actually work pretty. we'd love to incorporate some ml-generated features but that hasn't been a pressing priority so far.

Saddition, because of how we've set up our filtering mechanisms, things that are hidden are actually still accessible in a folder on block party. this is super important for a variety of reasons - being able to see good things that have been filtered out based on whatever heuristics were applied, having general awareness of what's happening esp. when there may be real world threats, etc. in my own use of block party right now i actually do review my lockout folder on a regular cadence, though i'll sometimes ask helpers to go through and block the most egregious accounts, e.g. all the racist coronavirus related tweets. grateful to my helpers who help me take care of those folks so i don't have to see the trash...

i've been meaning to write a blog post on this for a while! thanks for the prompt. totally agree that the filter bubble is real and is something that needs to be addressed, but i think that's more on the platform side wrt what algorithms are deciding to show and give distribution to. what we're filtering out is harassment and useless/mean/rude commentary, not anything that contributes a thoughtful alternate view point. e.g. i've posted a couple articles on twitter recently that could be construed in a very political way, but the only replies i got were racist or sexist or hateful comments, not anything that would help me understand another perspective. our hope with block party is that if we can filter down to only the most civil discourse, that actually creates the space for real discussions.

What is your position on ageism in tech? i see lots of discrimination against older people in tech where they are disqualified because they are "out of touch" or not as sharp as younger candidates. there is also always the conveenient "cultural fit" argument. i think this is very prevalent and obviously hurts older candidates but also the industry losing out on experienced more level headed enployees. from what i see this is hardly talked about even by the most pro-diversity organisations.

Imagine getting doxed and all the tweets trying to give you a heads up get filtered out. You end up in a situation where everyone knows who you are, where you live, but you're in a self induced bubble and have no idea your info is out there.I interpret that post as saying, "what constitutes 'harassment' is hard to define, and at the end of the day we don't need to define the term to know when we just don't feel it's healthy for us to interact with a particular person on social media". Which seems reasonable; presumably there are plenty of cases where you can't tell whether someone is intentionally harassing you or unintentionally annoying you, but either way you might decide you don't want to interact with them.

Because of how the Twitter API bundles their permissions, the only way that Block Party can get access to mute and block functionality is to request the highest level of access, which comes with a long list of other permissions.

My favorite related story is about how Target was really ahead of the game and was doing some really advanced customer purchase tracking several years ago. Customers were receiving customized coupon flyers in the mail that correlated products that would be purchased together. For instance, if someone bought sunscreen, they might coupons for beach towels, or sunglasses, or hats, etc. Well, this turned into a slight fiasco when a sixteen year old girl received a coupon for a baby stroller. Her dad got pissed at Target, but....turns out she was pregnant and Target just happened to let the cat out of the bag via their targeted coupons. Fun story.

Becauese they made up (or thought so) their expenses by selling data. There are people right now looking at you as part of an aggregate to see what you bought in the same category as their item and what you bought outside of the category.
