I'm a short beta male. What dog should I get that will make me look more masculine without looking like I'm trying too hard?

one that lets you be a well adjusted man that you can take care of. Get outta here with that "beta male" shit.
Take care of an old rescue because they are the most well behaved and grateful.

>>4811086
You shouldnt be getting a dog. For your looks you should get a maine coon to try and max out shabby wizard/warlock looks by having a glorified familiar. You already look like a knock off terry pratchett (and likely have the same politics and humor too).
>>
A cat is the best poser animal because you can pretend it chose you and that you are better than “dog people”. Beta males the world over go for this tactic.

Because dogs arent an option. They arent programmed to serve. Most will run away and never come back when you unhook the leash.
>>
>>4811981
most cats only stay for food and are neglected otherwise, and most dogs are choked out and electrocuted until they submit
and then their owners are like
“i dont know why it hides and hisses at you”
“I cant imagine why such a sweet subservient dog would bite”

It's often described as being like very fine slightly rubbery leather. It's completely packed full of delicate sensor nerve clusters. Mostly for electro location, but also underwater vibrations. If you look at the Skeleton >>4800166 you can see it's actually hollow. Absolutely fascinating creatures in basicallyevery way.

This is your daily reminder to want a platypus.

platypus anon, what do you think of the long beaked echidna, in papua, another monotreme? I love these little guys so much
>>
>>4810637
Very cute and they also have electro receptors in their beak, just not as many. I don't actually know if the long beaks have the same infection risk from accidentally getting quilled that the short beaks have. The Australian ones tend to have somewhat intentionally poor hygiene in their coat to incourage bacteria as a defence mechanism. It can lead to a little bit of a smell. But they are still very neat. Also echidna milk is used to feed orphaned baby platypuses, so they are cool in my book.

Shrinking populations mean shrinking standards of living unless no one retires and productivity can increase endlessly. Which it won't.
>>
>>4796488
WTF is this real???
>>
>>4811643
What kike told you this bullshit? You've mistaken the GDP and fractional reserve banking scams for the standard of living.

A shrinking population means that technological progress gets centered on the military and a taxpayer funded medical sector, and consumer tech stalls hard. Repairability and heirloom status comes back. Consumerism dies. However, your standard of living would be quite good. Education and healthcare systems would be less burdened, and better supported.

New construction of homes would slow. There would not be enough for people to leave the nest immediately. Multi-generational living would come back. Food production would slow somewhat, requiring all people with land to pitch in and raise livestock and for waste to be reduced significantly. Life would change but would it get worse? Maybe if your happiness depends on replacing your car, home, phone, PC, camera, and shoes on a monthly basis and eating whatever you wanted rather than what would grow near you. That would become impossible. Veganism would be impossible except for equatorial fucks in the few fertile areas left by climate change.

There is one thing that would have go away to forestall a crisis, and that would be the idea that all people are equal and should be able to do whatever they want. To prevent societal collapse, you would be sorted by innate ability and your career would be pre-selected. You would not have the illusion of freedom or equality. Dumb people would be required to be laborers. Smart people would be forced into the state run healthcare and tech sectors. Smart sociopaths would be forced into the state itself. You would not be allowed to waste your potential or anyones time being bad at your career or not selecting the career society needed to fuck off and be an "artist" just because you wanted to, unless you could fit it in between required activities.
