There's only two more homeless people than churches in the United States. If we make every homeless person into a church, we can also have more churches.

MAMA, ITS EMPTY!!!!

I do, and if you don't think that chihuahuas are capable of being more emotionally intelligent than a rat then you haven't spent much time around them. A family member of mine had one growing up, and while it was a chatty little shit it was also incredibly emotional.

I agree that there are absolutely differences amongst breeds and that would probably extend to other species as well. I don't agree with eating animals or raising them to kill them, especially in the ways we do.

I don't understand what you mean by manufactured, it's a result of the co-evolution between our two species that's occured for thousands of years, and by all means natural. I don't agree that cows can feel more or equally to dogs, I still think that dogs are a more emotional animal and deserve person status. I want to, but I can't say the same about other domesticated species, including cats. Some other animals that I would consider affording such rights to would be primates, cetaceans, elephants, and octopuses. I haven't seen the evidence that rats and cows are at that level.

We can measure an animal's ability to feel pain, but fear and sadness are emotions, the exact thing that I'm talking about.

Why do you find it so incredulous to believe that dogs are actually that much more emotionally intelligent than cows and rats? Sure, cows and rats and pigs and horses can show emotional intelligence, but to believe it's close to that of dogs is pretty shortsighted.

The best piece of literature I've seen regarding cow intelligence and social capacity was measured in terms of their ability to bond and empathize with other cows, their ability to bond with humans didn't come close to that of dogs

I really, genuinely, fully don't think you'd care to listen. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the social emotional capacity that dogs have far exceeds any other domestic animal.

*horrible story about literal puppies*

Dorks on Lemmy: Ok, but hear me out

Pigs are better problem solvers than dogs, that doesn't mean they're carte blanche smarter. Dogs have a level of social intelligence and selected-for ability to interact with humans that no other species does.

Damn that's crazy, those are some powerful dogs.

They didn't specify a breed but they mentioned "very-large breed". I'm assuming that to mean a mastiff of some sort?

So are ages of games like Warzone counted from the release of their first version, or is each iteration a new game?
