If I had to guess it’s because PS2’s sold like fucking hotcakes, a lot of people bought them just as DVD players and they more than likely had enough data especially by 2010 to come to the conclusion that if they were going to do this doing it with PS2s was the most cost efficient. Cheaper to make, more people would buy

As the article states, there were a few losses to the Kennedy family. She had lost a child in 1955, then the child mentioned here. The first did not reach the three month mark, and “Arabella” did, into the third trimester. When she started to experience bleeding, she had to reach John on his “boating trip to the Mediterranean.” As the article mentioned, advisor George Smathers convinced John to return to the US.

The third child lost was in August 1963: Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, who suffered a respiratory failure and died only 39 hours after his birth. John would lose his life in November of the same year.

My cow dogs would hav me believe innatism. They are born to herd. They know what to do n how to do it as soon as they can walk. Theyre also very protective and will punish other dogs for acting out. Its very wild to see for the first time.

You can see it in sports as well. Some kids just get it instinctively. Like Messi or Ronaldinho. They just demolish their playgrounds with skills 10 levels about their peers.

Some kids learn how to play instruments 10x quicker than some other. Tabula Rasa theory is a nice theory that aims to fight class distinctions (you are rich and powerful not because you were born different /better but because you had environment that enabled this. The slave next door would do just as well if he had the same opportunities). But in reality, it's definitely not true.
