  • I think it’s more survivorship bias. Agressive big dogs are going to be targetted and put down more often, since they’re more of a physical threat. Small dogs likely get passed over more often.

    Also, well-behaved small dogs are maybe much more common than thought to be, but go unnoticed since they’re quiet.




  • So these are both supposed to be from a Parisian’s perspective i think?

    So the first one about not resisting pickpockets was during the Paris Olympics, but that wasn’t a general sentiment by the french at all, that was the Paris Police communicating that, and their specific reason was to keep cases of stabbings down since pickpockets often carry knives. That was not a ‘think of the pickpocket’s family’ scenario.

    The second is a Frenchman or Perisian visiting the US and not tipping i think. Eh, this is an actual sentiment for - frankly even many Americans. Not great, but neither is the tipping culture itself.
