Buy a drone and dress it up as a cat. Let the dogs run behind the cat while you walk along peacefully. You can also dress up your drone as a giant piece of beef.
Alternatively, adopt a giant spider pet and bring it to work with you. That should scare the dogs enough.

If you have a giant spider, you don't need a shitty car ride on a street next to a bunch of rabid dogs. Just ride your spider to work. And if you feed the spider on rabid dogs, you save a lot of money too.
In my honest opinion, GSP (Giant Spider Propulsion) is the transportation technology of the future. With fossil fuels eventually running dry, practical problems with electrical engines, not to mention the storage problem of nuclear fuels and a lot of our current electricity generators also being based on fossil fuels, GSP delivers a carbon-neutral way of comfortably travelling through the country. And you never have to worry about there not being a specific electric refueling station nearby ever again, with GSP you can either simply buy some spider food at any local grocery store, or if you are strapped for cash, simply let your giant spider hunt its own prey for a while.
Bygone are the days where you would have to change your vehicle to accomodate your growing family. Instead of having to deal with greedy used-car-salesmen when exchanging your old car for a larger one each time you get a new kid, with GSP, you spider grows as your family does. Start with a small, bike sized GSP when you are a kid, let it grow into something fitting for two just in time for prom night, and it automatically adds an additional seat and some storage space every 9 months thereafter.
Do you remember how you used to have to burrow a stinky dog corpse in secret every single time you ran over the neighbors dog in the past? That is no longer a problem with GSP! Simply let your GSP take care of things. Life has never been easier.
Everyone deserves a GSP.

I hope they opt for the bugs from Starship Troopers instead of spiders.

Is the spider form more effective for everything (especially at killing other things) than humanoid?
The humans just have their brains and opposable thumbs going for them, but what if you gave them to a similarly sized spider? Will they dominate the universe?

Well said. I can't wait for the GSP World Championship to take place too, since everything men use to transport themselves ends up in serious racing after a while.

Without even knowing in which part of the world you live, this is just guessing, but in areas where many of the stray dogs are former sheep hoarding dogs etc. it is surprisingly effective to just pick up a stone and pretend you are throwing it, or even throw it if you feel like it. Those dogs have been conditioned to be really frightened from this kind of punishment. If it's more an urban setting somewhere in the western world, the dogs aren't very likely to attack you anyway, they aren't just that badass usually.

Well, people with equinophobia managed to live during the 30+ centuries when horses were the primary mean of transport

which is not technically a GMO(as per its current definition - directly modified DNA ) but it is a GMO. basically, they existed long before you were born.
My understanding was that those plants are varieties of wild cabbage, not mustard. No?

I had no stage fright AT ALL when I used to play with various bands I had - however, I want to start a solo project acoustic guitar + vocals and I am scared as fuck. I could already ask around for gigs but damn, I feel shy alone, especially because I would sing very intimate songs about myself in my own language. How do I find the courage bros???

i didn't make that jpg. i took it from evolution.berkeley.edu so go tell them you think those came from wild cabbage.
wiki says wild cabbage = Brassica oleracea and the same wiki says that Brassica = (/ˈbræsᵻkə/) is a genus of plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae).

Start in front of small and well-known audiences - girlfriend, family, friends - and the confidence will build up. But yeah I get how you feel, as a musician I would feel scared to perform alone too^^

Whatever you do, don't touch drugs or alcohol. That's not a joke.

Yes, it hardly helps with the nerves and your performance will go down the drain.

Yeah. I kinda feel it harder to start, actually. Once I'm in motion everything is kinda cool

Ever tried some meditation beforehand? Worked for my social anxiety and during tennis matches. Tennis has a lot of downtime between games and before the service and some simple meditating worked wonders.

Here's a stupid one.
Why do you say "Public hair" when it's clearly private ones.

I had the same issue (well i had stage fright with bands but..) what i did was find a friend of mine who would do stuff with me. She would play piano (but small parts. Just for ambiance) or sing while i had the guitar. It helped a lot. After that since i wrote songs without piano i would do some of the songs alone.
