Baby fights dog for bone
"UPDATE: As I mentioned in the comments that I initially posted with this video, based on our dog's extensive training, temperament, and exceedingly gentle previous interactions with the baby (which are shown in our other videos), under our close supervision, we did not perceive that there was any realistic risk of harm to the baby by allowing her to try to take a bone from the dog. In contrast, a handful of visitors apparently strongly believed that we were putting the baby in imminent danger in this video.
Although I disagreed with those visitors' comments, based on those comments, I contacted the dog's trainer about the video and about the nature of the interaction shown in the video, as the trainer is specifically familiar with our dog's training and temperament. In short, based on her specific experience with our dog and other dogs, the trainer agreed with me that it's unlikely that the dog would harm the baby -- and in her opinion, the dog was not exhibiting any signs of stress or irritation in the video that would lead her to believe that the baby was at any risk of harm during that interaction. That said, she cautioned that a dog's "resource guarding" instinct cannot be 100% bred or trained away, and that a dog's tolerance for someone taking its resources can change over time as the dog develops and ages. Because of that, she cautioned that just because the dog is tolerant of such behavior now does not mean that he'll be so tolerant of such behavior in the coming months. So, particularly while the baby is so young, the trainer conservatively recommended against allowing the baby to take anything from the dog's mouth. Moreover, we intend to follow that recommendation -- so rest assured, we will not allow the baby to interact with the dog again in the way that's shown in this video.
Although I wish the detractors had been a bit more constructive and less alarmist in their comments, I do ultimately appreciate their concern, and I learned a little something from it. So, thank you." from there.
Based on the updated description, the parents have now learnt that this is not a good idea in the future. They may not be concerned about this particular dog's temperament, but aren't they teaching the child that it's ok to take things from dogs' mouths in general?
Anti-Michael Brown Song By Retired Fed. Investigator
Your not Newtboy you neutered boy. Time for you to grow up and grow a pair.
No it is not Racist not one bit racist. Bad taste maybe but not racist.
Michael Brown was a thug that struggled with a cop for his gun and it went off. The gentle giant then ran 30 ft got shot then charged back towards then cop and received some corrective measures for failing to stop charging the cop that lead to to his justified death.
The song, depending which side of the fence you are on can be disgusting or funny entertainment.
Like Ding Dong the witch is dead. is not appealing to witches but fun for all others to sing.
If Bill Burr told this story like the song you would be laughing you ass off.
Bill Burr - Helicopter Rides
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eViS29rF63Y
AS for the room fool of cops not dissenting. How dumb can you be. Why on earth should they be upset?
Why bring up the NY mayor? He is an anti cop fool, elected by fools.
Man up Neutered Boy. Your on the loosing side of reality.
So if it's not blatantly Racist (why the capital R?), any disgusting, disrespectful, inflammatory thing someone wants to say is fine? I disagree.
Think about how the NYPD reacts to the mayor being honest by saying that he told his black son to be careful around officers and not scare cops into (over)reacting. They've acted as if he shot the officers himself, or actively supported such actions, just because he didn't stand firmly in 100% full support for all police actions.
"My group" won't be making any praise songs for killing anyone that's not a convicted (or well known) mass murderer. I won't speak for any other groups, and mine is a group of one. ;-)
The issue is more the reaction of the room full of cops over the disgusting act of one ex fed. I didn't hear one boo, and not one person left. I somehow feel the reaction would be far stronger against a song in support of Obama in that room...that might get violent.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - "Do You Believe in God?"
100% agree. Too much pussy footing around ( not accusing Tyson here just in general )
The bullshit fairy tales have got to go
and guess what ? There's no Father Christmas or tooth fairy either.
There is no equivalency in the different sides. One is just plain lies and bullshit. The other is objective truth.
I have never heard a religious person gently explain they a religious and like to tolerate science, they just start screaming 'Praise Jeebus'
For fucks sake, even religious morons use a cell phone, hospital, electricity, cars etc etc So Fucking Dumb
A simple "no" would also work.
This is all NOMA nonsense. Religion tells me HOW to go to heaven? Really does it now? What heaven? how? Whats religion´s method? if two competing religions has different ways of getting to heaven, or even outright contradictory hows(Such as Islam (No heaven for you if you believe in Jesus) and Christianity (No heaven for you if you dont believe in Jesus)), how the fuck is that a "how" at all? It isnt. Its superstitious bullshit from A to Z.
Religion has never in the history of humanity told anyone anything worthwhile new, or interesting on any subject. Thats because it relies on faith, revelations and dogma. While science does this on a weekly basis because the entire concept relies on rejection of all forms faith, dogma and revelation, in favor of evidence-based reasoning. Thats the truth.
"Get off my dock-ling"
Funny. I totally have the same thought every stinking time I see someone attacked by those fowl creatures.
Not in this case, though, since the daddy swan had good reason to be upset and wasn't attacking attacking.
Yes, run away from the big scary bird! Pssh.
Either people are too gentle (or scared of arrest) to beat an animal or maybe there's something ancient in our DNA like a built-in fear of dinosaurs or something.
All's I know is if one of dem beasts attacks me or my family, I'm goin' break my foot off in they ass.
I'll never understand why people don't kick them. They have giant fucking weapons protected by shoes. Kick the fucking things until they learn not to fuck with you!
Butterfly Lands During Flute Solo
she had a good opportunity to show that she was kind and gentle to critters, but then she flicks it away with disdain.
Garfunkel and Oates "The Fade Away"
We've been on a bunch of dates
I weigh debates that this creates
And hate that state of forced introspection
We traded wit, we swapped some spit,
You fingered me a little bit
But we never really had a connection
You did nothing wrong, I have no excuse
Just my intuition telling me we shouldn't reproduce
I know I have to end it
But pretend to just suspend it
By contending that I'm busy all week
I let the foregone linger on
Text back with an emoticon
Withdraw from you by being oblique
Inside I know my tactics just delay it
But I'd do anything so I don't have to say it
I'll draw this out forever like it's Vietnam
Then one day I'll be gone like Bambi's mom Awww
Cause there's the right thing to do
Then there's what I'm gonna do
There's so much I should say
But instead... I do the fade away
Now I'm fading like chalk on a sidewalk
Or the polio virus after Jonas Salk
Like a Jewish guy at Sizzler on Yom Kippur
The Whig party post Millard Fillmore
The erection of a man on antidepressants
The cast of Diff'rent Strokes after adolescence
Reproductive rights below the Mason Dixon
Native Americans after the barter systems
Your thyroid gland after Hashimoto
The family in the Back to the Future photo
Yeah I fade away
We say that men are asshole who don't communicate
We revel in our victimhood and amplify our hate
We find ways to be indignant like it's a sport
Then dissect their malignance with the views we distort
The way men break up may be sloppy and terse
What they do is bad, but what we do is worse
We pretend to ourselves it's the nice thing to do
To let you down gently by just not ever telling you
And deep down we know it's the worst way to play it
But we are what we have... huge pussies
And women are hypocrites
Especially ones in comedy bands
We see your faults but not our own
Then we wonder why we're all alone
We fill you up with maybe's, excuses and stalls
But like a baby in China... it's better to have balls
Not the Good Wife type like Christine Baranski
So I'll pull out and leave like I'm Roman Polanski
Cause there's the right thing to do
Then there's what I'm gonna do
There's so much I should say
But instead... I do the fade away
Like Verbal Kint fading into Kaiser Soze
The rights in Arizona for a guy named Jose
Opportunities for a college grad
The love between your mom and dad
Gonna Peter out like a gay Cetera
Iranian relations since the Regan era
Black Nike sales after Heaven's Gate
Summer Camp attendance at Penn State
The name Adolph after World War Two
Like Debbie Gibson's pop career, Out of the Blue
Yeah I fade away
Cause I don't wanna get to know you
I just want to blow you... off
Last Week Tonight - Ferguson and Police Militarization
Now it is reported that the police officer suffered a fractured eye socket due to being punched by the sweet 'gentle giant', who was just turning his life around and looking forward to college and a good life.

Last Week Tonight - Ferguson and Police Militarization
How do you know his death was unnecessary? I hope you posted this before you learned that the kid had a tussle with the cop, went for his gun and it was discharged during this event.
After that he ran away then charged " Bum Rushed" the cop. and received 6 pills, 4 in the arm and 2 in he head.
The right weapon was used.
The issue is not that a white cop shot a black. It is the fact that a majority of young black men are swept up by the streets. Which leads to disproportional black arrest, crimes, and general mayhem. We are all a product of our choices. He chose to be a thug.
And this young sweet collage bound gentle giant that the media hypes up day an night does not help.
He is a young large thug with criminal history as seen by his arrest record:

no matter how you spin it, the death was unnecessary. Again, this WOULD have been a great time to use a taser.
They keep using the wrong weapons at the wrong time.
Last Week Tonight - Ferguson and Police Militarization
Are you that stupid or just trying to impress you leftest sift friends?
The kid knew he just robbed the store. That why its relevant. His reaction to the cop would had been different if he did not just rob the store..
Late this afternoon the Cop that shot the kid indicated that he just herd on the radio that there was an robbery but he did not have a clue that it was this 300lb thug that has been martyred by the press as the gentle giant.
HOW is it relevant? What do you know that the Ferguson police chief doesn't?
Last Week Tonight - Ferguson and Police Militarization
@bobknight33 - "giant 300lb thug" is your way of painting him using language and insinuation into a monster, and i think that if i had separately referred to him as a "cuddly gentle giant" you'd probably launch into a litany about liberal propaganda.
Sadly, i don't live there, don't know him, have never had any experience at the kind of life that people live in those kinds of places, so i honestly couldn't say whether the backlash is justified, nor what type of person he is. What part of Ferguson do you live in and how long have you known the guy? If you base all of that on the autopsy report, could i ask how many autopsy reports you've read through in your line of work and how you figure out his personality from it?
I'd just love to know how you've found him guilty before there's been any kind of independent investigation, cos i'm pretty sure they'd need all the evidence and witnesses and access to crime scene details - not to mention years of experience - before they made their mind up, you might be able to save them time.
Also, I'd like to see this video, but can't find anywhere to watch it from UK it seems.
5 Fun Physics Phenomena
Spinning the iphone - it is possible to do, i've played with that effect with a tv remote as a kid, trying to flip it over once and catch it. That's when i found out about Dzhanibekov effect. I think that basically more mass lies along the plane in which it is spinning, and it either isn't balanced or isn't precisely stable as it's released, and so there is a net centrifugal force acting on the phone in the direction that it begins to rotate (if you don't do it right), gently at first but the further it goes into its spin the more it reinforces itself and it flips. (that's what i remember from childhood, but the wikipedia article itself is accurate so double check) I'd like to investigate this effect in space/vacuums though, it's still interesting.
The water one - this is just one scientific opinion and i imagine many exist, but i can't find any true source on this. My immediate reaction to his explanation about the uniform electric field is to consider the field projected by the cup - prior warning simplifications are rife. Approximate the electric field emitted by the negatively charged cup as being normal to the surface at any point on the surface. You bring that field towards the water, and if there is indeed a more positively charged side, then it would experience a force in an electric field. We can safely believe that the water molecules will fall facing in all directions (fluid dynamics ensuring a nice distribution of particles within the stream allowing us to believe that), and any that are not pointed exactly parallel to the electric field will experience some kind of force. However water can also have a meniscus, which might encourage the water to "stick together" a bit and head towards the negative source, but i'm not sure about that in a flowing/falling context.
The fundamental point here is that an electric field is introduced to the water which responds by moving towards the source of the field. He hasn't shown me anything to doubt the standard explanation, and i don't understand why he thinks that the molecule wouldn't experience a force if it is as described. Without using electric charge to explain it, and i'm quite certain it isn't magnetic (the only other associated phenomenon), he's basically saying it's magic?
@robbersdog49 got the cane and cereal ones, and the teabag one is of course just the fact that the burning teabag heats nearby air, hot air rises which causes cooler air to rush in from the side and below, which causes a bit of an upwards current of flowing air, and when the remnant of the teabag is light enough, it is lifted by that force. As it burns lower, there's less fuel (paper) and it's less hot, so the force drops, so it only happens when it's nearly ash and very light. The last piece almost doesn't make it.

Lunatic fake feminist disturbs the relative peace
Thanks for changing the title. Much better.
Except I don't think she is a "fake feminist." What about her is fake?
I don't agree with her statement at "all men harass women." My best buddy, a heterosexual man, is such a non-harasser and so gentle he earned the title "Honorary Woman" years ago. It is just logically wrong, and makes her sound silly.
But she surely isn't a fake feminist. A silly person, but not a fake feminist.
