Well it’s subjective, really, so it’s very difficult to train a dog that can spot bad art, let alone one that can do it across mediums. Starting with A Friend In Need is well-known technique, but then you end up with lots of false positives.

I believe you inspect first and then reward, even in training- but really all I know from listening to a recent story on NPR about police dogs is that no dog is ever 100% accurate. It’s just using them is less time-consuming than having a person do the inspection. And if you are too withholding of rewards, you risk it…

Any animal behaviorists (amateur or professional) able to answer this . . .

As long as Very Good Dogs are here we cannot perish.

All I could think of during his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was that it felt like some frat boy shit and that their energy didn’t belong in that room on that night. Now, I see why I felt that way.

“Oh no, not James Franco too,” said No One Ever.

Could you not use Erica Garner’s death to relitigate Bernie and Hillary? Thanks.

Those who want to honor her memory should really consider not only fighting for justice, but radical self-care as well. Eating well, addressing any mental health concerns,exercise, etc. We can’t fight for equality and freedom if we are trapped in unhealthy bodies.

Oh, I fully agree. I did say that maybe a declining birth rate is a good thing.

Almost seven BILLION people on this almost beaten to death planet and this Randian reject vanity muscle asswipe thinks we should be having MORE kids.

Hey, Paul, you know what would be great? If we did something about our appalling infant mortality rates, compared to other OECD nations (especially those using single payer), instead of insisting that women simply need to be pumping out more babies. You want more babies to become members of the workforce? How about…

I’m a guacamole freak who tries to order it wherever I go if it’s on the menu, but I won’t order if it’s “tableside.” The whole thing is awkward as fuck in that it is too consuming for the server. I’ve never ordered it but that’s inherently apparent in the concept.

Punching someone in the nuts in self-defense is not sexual assault.

I can’t understand how you know how bad it feels to get kicked in the nuts, but also how childbirth feels. It sounds like you haven’t been kicked in the dick enough in your life.

What kind of logic is yours? Seriously? How about the man who fucking sexually assaulted me will never understand the pain he put me through over and over again? So what should be done to him? What is the equivalent of that pain?

Would love it if you’d reply to Norbs, below, who is being an ignorant fuckhead. Cause, as a lady who has faced the routine and not so routine indignities, humiliations, and violence of being a woman, it’s really exhausting to try to argue your fundamental human worth and rights with some dude who doesn’t get it.

Then men should keep their knees together.

Yes it’s so infuriating that ball-kicking is considered OFF LIMITS. If men don’t want to be kicked in the balls, maybe they should stop ASKING FOR IT by doing fucked-up shit that makes you have to kick them in the balls!

This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself.
