The Broken Empire trilogy. Also Red War trilogy, which is spin-off (though uses these themes a bit less)

It’s not only barring teeth, dogs also do a “submissive smile” in some cases, to show they are not a threat. Not seen much but when we got our second dog she was very insecure and “smiled” a lot. Definitely not for showing happines but I think I read our smiles have similar origins.

Man, I was already feeling ancient. You using “1900s” didn’t help much :D

Man rotary phones were the best! Such a joy to dial.

They were quite big, but used super thin paper and small font. There were books thicker still, but still the phrase “thick as a phone book” was used.

There were also Yellow Pages (same format as phone books, but entirely yellow) which listed businesess and stuff.

Pre-internet these were the household essentials.

There was also a number you could call to ask for phone numbers or other stuff. Basically a call in google.

Like Christianity did you mean?

That said, I don’t disagree with the sentiment - the respect should come both ways and the imigrants should respect the native culture, but that also doesn’t mean they havento give up their own.

Local culture always changes in time. Take Europe, it’s culture steeped and deeply influenced by Christianity in many countries. And yet Christianity is a religion with Middle East origins. People just don’t look at the bigger picture - or don’t want to. The change in the past was not happening to them, but it is now and that’s what matters.

Over here we have people akin to that in the ministry of environment and theu get to chanhe laws and stuff to suit them.

No care for preventing the encounters, they like it as it gives them reason to kill them. Couple of months back there was a male bear who got into town, so they went to hunt it down and in the end they said the bear was shot down but it was a female… as long as there is a dead bear, they don’t care

Some people just have a hard on for hunting them. They would set up some kind of bait to get them close enough and bam - hunting trophy is theirs.

Some emotional ones, maybe. Poor kid was fine but the brain still did some processing afterwards

He had some nice ideas but idk if “cool” is the right word. Unless we are talking Buddy Christ.

Would love to see it though

You are clearly too good to be a troll.

I mean… obviously

!guildwars2@lemmy.wtf

it was a punishment for the Jews killing Jesus

This is peak logic. Glorify Jesus becasue “he died for our sins” but demonize Jews for killing him… Bitch, if they didn’t kill him you lack key aspect of your religion!

It is these days. A year ago I had to subscribe to everything manually again.

So happy .world had serious tech issues sometime after the exodus. I had my first account there, it was a bit of pain to move as I used it for a little, but totally worth it in the long run it seems

Depends on a dog. Many cities now have dog parks nd you can still take them out of the city.

Dogs are social animals bred for hundreds of years to be our companions. Most will be happy to be inside on a couch with their human, rather than outside alone (obvioualy not exclusively, they need the walks and free time. And every dog may have different needs).

Sounds more about bad owners (not having their dog on a leash, not respecting others personal space, or not pickingnup the dog shit) than about dogs.
