I think you should follow that last sentence with a description of why that matters. I know by inference, but some may miss your point that by “killing any dog that pisses them off” they were selectively breeding for obedience to the alpha to the exclusion of all else. And then maybe extrapolate on how that trait translates into fierce loyalt to one individual which makes everything else a potential target for attack.

Although there was no intended malice involved
Yeah, what harm could come from making a gradeschooler think about getting shot or going to jail every time they take a test? I’m sure it will provide great motivation instead of turning the poor kids into nervous wrecks.

News@lemmy.world•Wayne Brady Comes Out as Pansexual: 'I'm Doing This for Me'
11·3 years agoThe “pan” prefix on the other hand, means all, or including everything. Thus we can assume pansexual to (literally) mean a person who is sexually attracted to any and every gender that there is or could be.
The “pan” prefix on the other hand, means all, or including everything. Thus we can assume pansexual to (literally) mean a person who
iscan be sexually attracted to any and every gender that there is or could be.___Hetero, bi, and gay people are not attracted to any or every of their preferred gender. It’s a small difference in language but I think pansexuals would agree that phrasing it as “is sexually attracted to any and every gender” implies pansexuals are out there trying to bang anything with a pulse whereas the truth is just that gender or sexuality are not barriers to them. I guess it would be more accurate to say “pansexuals are sexually attracted to partners independent of sex and/or gender identity”?
This is probably oversimplified, but maybe helpful:
Straight - consider themselves sexually attracted to opposite gender/sex
Gay - consider themselves sexually attacted to same gender/sex
Bi - consider themselves sexually attracted to either gender/sex
Pan - consider themselves sexually attracted

Because American English and New Zealand (and Australia) all derived from British English, obviously, but have drifted less than the accents in Britain. US, NZ, and AUS all drifted differently but the three may still be closer to the British English from the time their colonies were established.
