    No need to be snarky here. It’s just good practice to provide a source when making claims to statistics. “Just Google it” doesn’t validate a position.

    Now that you’ve provided a source, we can talk about the information at hand instead of talking out of our asses.

    With the source you’re quoting, and in fact the specific sentence in this Wikipedia article, the sources provided for that claim are 3 news articles and a UK government webpage.

    That government web page details the way someone can safely and legally have a dog of these breeds.

    With the news reporting, even a cursory glance at those news articles show that there could be reasons other than the biology of the breed in play here.
















  • Individuals can do that, and they should if they feel like keeping MS.

    Organizations are, unfortunately, probably going to remain stagnant and keep paying millions to for things that have free alternatives.

    It’s actually really infuriating. When I was in grad school I filed an information request with the college to see how much they paid for access to Office 365 each year. This was in 2021 and they were paying 4 million a year. Meanwhile their grad student employees were all living deeply below the poverty line.
