		sillysaurusx on March 25, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Myth of the Alpha Wolf At a basic level, wolves are closer to dogs than they are to humans or bears. “Basically” doesn’t mean “equivalent.” I’m trying to let the insults roll off me, but saying I’m horse shit and ignorant for two things I didn’t say is a bit much. I think that’s enough HN for the day. Have a nice weekend.

If you had just said that, you wouldn't have gotten all those insults. Language.

This would also apply: "lions are closer to house cats than they are to humans or bears." So would you say "lions are basically large house cats" ?
