Chickens have a dominance hierarchy too. And so do rats under some conditions. The dominance literature that I know of does not make it sound great. Dominant makes are like the loud drunk guy at a party who wants fight - people just generally avoid him. So they’re socially isolated bullies. Robert and Caroline Blanchard from University of Hawaii is good for this work, and Robert Sapolsky for work on stress hormones.
Petersdorf and Higham are a great summary of the variety in the primate world. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118584538.ieba0308
It’s not true for gorillas or chimps either - and those groups don’t share a social structure. I have a feeling that you are not well informed on this topic.

eta: “Those people” and “you people” are both seen as racist dogwhistles. Your sister was probably laughing because you didn’t intend or get the subtext of your phrasing.
I’m pretty sure it was a quail/dove shoot. It stood out for me because there aren’t many parts of the country where dove hunting is a thing. But Texas? You bet!
Don’t make me tap the overlay.
This is true for every regulated profession. It’s not exceptional.

молодец, товарищ! демократы будут сбиты с толку твоей умной метафорой!
You should have seen the internet before 1993 lol.
I was a post-doc during this period. I had a mobile phone but data was eyebleedingly expensive, and there wasn’t much to do on mobile. Most companies had a minimal web presence and very little directed towards mobile.

This was a unique point in time when people had cell phones but had to carry a phonebook because there was no mobile internet. Some time between 1992 and 2005?
Yes. I remember seeing them advertised on a trip to Japan and not fully understanding how they even worked. It really seemed like the future. It was a few years before they were available here and prices came down enough to use it. My first trip was navigating home from Fry’s
