I want to get a dog. I've never owned a dog before, but after doing a lot of research, I've narrowed it down to a Labrador or a German Shepherd. Which one do you recommend for a first time owner and why?

i reared one puppy and wouldn't again. tons of work and waiting around for what felt like a big gamble. socialization window closes before puppy shots are done. couldn't do fun active shit until her growth plates closed around 18 mos. easy to fuck up during the fear/flight stages and some breeds are prone to aggression when they hit maturity

my current dog came home ~1.5 years we got straight into training, backpacking & trail riding. already housebroke. no surprises, wysiwyg

I’m disappointed that this town is full of photographers with expensive DSLRs and gear, and that they seem to have left it to me with little money back then and a Kodak bridge camera who’s not the best at this to do this. I would’ve rather several of them did it and spread it around.

In this particular video on Neanderthals, he basically claims that Europe was full of white cavemen but the black cavemen came over from Africa and slowly replaced the white cavemen defeating them in battle though some white cavewomen switched teams and got with black cavemen.

I'm literally not joking, watch the video. How true is that by the way?

Kangaroo Jack is probably the biggest lie I was ever told

>we really, really believed it would be about a rapping Kangaroo
>we used to hop around our bedroom for several hours at a time shouting fake rap lyrics we made up
>nothing offensive just Kangaroo related stuff like 'You,me and daddy are gonna go see Kangaroo Jack; And you, me and daddy are gonna laugh until our hair turns black; and you and me and daddy are gonna see that Kangaroo; and you and me and daddy but not dead mummy too'
>ought fucking kangaroo costumes to go to the cinema and see it
>went in, so excited and the movie plays
>almost no fucking talking Kangaroo whatsoever
>we get so annoyed that we star to actually believe the Kangaroo is talking when on screen and IS rapping even when its just a Kangaroo standing around

The Guanay Cormorant, Leucocarbo bougainvilliorum, also sometimes called the Guanay Shag, is generally regarded as the most valuable wild Bird in the world.

They, and to a lesser extent, Pelicans and Boobys, are mostly responsible for the massive deposits of excretions, or guano on several islands off the coast of Peru, valued as one of the richest fertilizers in the world.

Though now commercially supplanted by artificial sources, the deposits remain valuable regionally and by artisinal growers.

So closely are they tied to this, that it even gives them their common name, Guanay.
>>
A Guanay Cormorant making a deposit of what has earned it the title of the most valuable wild Bird in the world.

A tragic irony, in that this action is also the second of the two main factors that has made the Double-Crested Cormorant in particular, and all Cormorants in general, one of, if not the most reviled Birds in the world.

Eh...youre kind of right.
The taxonomy system was created long before we even knew DNA existed.
But its not an arbitrary cataloging system. It has rules.
You could just as easily say the periodic table isnt real and its just a way for humans to understand elements.

>chickens dont fly, they glide.
100% false.
Gliding by definition uses an external power source. Either potential energy (like a hang glider jumping off a cliff) or updrafts or a tow vehicle.
Chickens can take off from the ground and fly 30 feet up into a tree.
And for the record, turkeys can also fly.
Ive seen wild turkeys on the side of the road get spooked and fly over 40 foot high power lines and keep going for 100 yards.
Pea fowl also roost in trees.
>>
>>5169857
just because its not arbitrary doesn't make it any more real. in reality all living things on earth are in theory just some varied degree of related to each other, the decision to put any new creature in an existing genus, or its own sub-genus for example is just a constructed attempt at making sense of a spectrum of similarity between the aggregate of sufficiently alike things. we decided to set the ranks of taxonomy to a set granularity that is imposed on the actual data, which is the percent sameness of two sets of genetic material from two individual beings.
>>
>>5169858
>Pea fowl also roost in trees
We have a released population where I live. It's crazy how high up they'll go, like 60 feet up in the trees at night to roost.

if you were by chance and coincidence profiling the manat, you end up with two things:
-they dont talk, so noone listens, which is something they always did
-pirates and seamen dont listen (endangers the ship) to "mermaids" -which, again is not the manate, since they do not talk
hope that clarified confusion.
