  • To elaborate for anyone reading this who doesn’t know:

    Dogs are really good at noticing emotion in humans, better than they are at noticing the scent of contraband. When an officer wants a dog to alert, the dog picks up on it and alerts, even when there’s nothing there.

    There was even a study where they would have a dog try to find out which packages had drugs in. When the officer was fooled, the dog was significantly more likely to be fooled too than when trying to fool only the dog. The officers responded by refusing to continue the experiment.








  • I’m not sure why you claim I’m being vague when I directly quote an entire comment.

    You said “it’s against the terms of service, so the comment gets removed”. I pointed to a comment that did NOT violate terms of service, but got removed. You defended the instance with a faulty statement. All I did was point it out.

    And no, it wasn’t a call to violence. If the statement was “we need more Luigis”, then THAT’s a call to violence. Just saying “he did nothing wrong” is the same as saying you hope he gets a jury nullification. It’s just taking his side.

    No, I’m from the Shire, and Mordor doesn’t exactly make conversation with us.

    But I pay notice to the black smoke. To the Nazgul strikes and the fires of war. I can feel his dark eye watching us all from atop his wasteland tower, whispiering lies and doubt into innocent ears. I hear a poison tongue speaking wicked words into the ear of a decrepit leader, making him but a puppet. I see a war chief turn on his master in a bid for power, only to be cowed and granted a traitor’s reward.

    I look to the east, and see Mordor.
