I wonder when they'll start telling us what types of fruit seeds have to go through the digestive system of animals and redistributed into the soil to be properly processed in mother nature's rule book to produce more of it's kind. We're great at genetically engineering for convenience sake and gladly refer to it as such once it's been put into practice and the proceeds have become a standard gift for us to grow accustomed to without the knowledge of the alternative natural production. Kona coffee got me thinking about that years ago because the beans get pooped out, and collected recieving a natural processing that we created chemical processes and machinery to perform for other types of coffee and beans we're sold as consumers. Apparently the quality and taste is heads and tails above the rest often being spoken about as having no good comparison in the coffee market and the price reflects it... Who knows, maybe it's all rumor and marketing ploys

So you weren't finished.....

You can have the last word with the next one I promise. I don't want to break your diving board before you jump

Be well, stranger

It'd be interesting to see the total number of items that were under discussion in this string of comments and have someone list out what was and was not addressed to see how right either one of us was regarding the things we wrote and who brought up what for dissection of value

You should really get your team to turn in the old playbook and get a new strategist . Your behavior has become a "Don't" conversationally and they're letting you get laughed at now

I'm not, it was an ongoing attempt on your part though your too big to admit it

I'm not surprised

Hey, how often does continuously insulting someone keep you in the kind of companionship you enjoy online and does that transfer equally as your offline personality or do you play meek, coy and easily frazzled in person

You obviously have zero perception of how you've insulted yourself

Your making arguments that cancel your own position out. You're allowed but it seems foolhardy

Your experience with the news you DIDN'T see, however places you on an expert platform unavailable to others. You just jocked yourself hard on the seesaw you built.

My ex-husband was addicted to the game.... Observational perspective counts too since I was stuck watching and listening to it in a consistent basis with the one TV we owned

You have not read my responses. My experience is with Massachusetts news as well. Maybe the News where you were local to at the time was different

You should reread the thread. Your positioning of assertions leaves you in an unbalanced posture.... The claims you've made knock eachother off the seesaw

Maybe your conversation with another user is getting you mixed up with the one you're having with me. It happens and from my experience, going back to a conversation through the notifications is Super Glitchy

You'd have to research the things brought before Congress for the legal battle that was waged

Did I use the term "Cheat Code" wrong for THIS generation definition thereby Nullifying all other information I offered? Your welcome to that type of opinion and it can stand as it is. u/GESNodoon nothing I said was a lie or even slightly skewed from the reality of what was going on and how similar the concern was to the OP's question about it.

As you noted.... The games children play are looked at regarding the influence they inspire. It is what it is.... Plenty of people think it's hogwash and get very vocal about it. That's the debate

It's exactly what the News programs were about. Maybe you didn't see them or maybe you weren't old enough when they were aired but it was a HUGE concern and there were organizations and committees that fought tooth and nails to get video games like these .. and this one SPECIFICALLY (GTA) banned from the market and being made Exclusively because of the influence. Random shooting and hang violence with the age group being exposed to those games was a Hot Topic and under debate for atleast 2 years steadily. It was before the concerns about the other styles of video games were spoken of as a concern creating a lack of empathy for those of age going into the military and being required to conduct Drone warfare that mimics the games that generation grew up as normal average video games on the market to choose from.

They have. Grand Theft Auto was in the News and used as the Poster Child for influencing and condoning some of the worst crimes imaginable and was the First mainstream home video game that had Cheat Codes to conduct Rape Scenes. You should be able to find old News and Media Programs that have this very question as the topic (unless the internet has been culled of choice pieces of history already,) which is fathomable

Thanks so much for sharing.... Very interesting, I'll be keeping my eyes open for other papers shared by students with the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) as well!

Thank you so much for responding! The Philippines is someplace I've heard very little about, even growing up with people from the Philippines which considering the USA's involvement there historically is somewhat understandable to have not had many conversations and I'm glad that seems to be changing over recent years. Has this tribe been put in a position where they're looked at as beggars or a problem in some way?

I've seen media/shows featuring tribes (regretfully but reliably... I can't remember from exactly where by name) the community was built on the water and a fishing tribe... the methods used to hunt and trap fish were amazing...

Does the Bajao/Bajaus, as sea gypsies.... Have land as territory for certain parts of the year or do they spend the entire year on the water?

Thank you as well for giving some gentle direction for my next run down a research rabbit hole! and again.... Beautiful work!!!

I love the angle and your use of color.... The woodgrain on the boats really stands out beautifully.

Is there a reason that you painted the sea life as you did. It certainly sparks curiosity regarding a potential message being there. You don't have to give too much away but a little would be helpful.

Thanks for sharing this!

I don't have a clue who Valak is but it reminds me of old school Marilyn Manson.... Nice work!

They make one of my absolute Favorite wild rice blends.... I usually get it in a plastic tub though. This is a great design! First time seeing it

It could take multiple desires regarding activity adding in the hopeful, human ideal outcomes, and predict viability and a method that takes those things into account while calculating a sum that is mutually beneficial regarding resources, activity and results for All, in a detailed way, with steps and precise time-frames of those steps to be followed....

Allowing for the humans, prone to producing errors due to personal stakes in the game, to be relieved of creating a failed strategy full of cognitive biases

AND... it could be used for so many different applications that the idea of some machine that sits in one big building (restricting access to Corporate Entities, Legal and OFFICIAL Government Entities to gain permission and time slots to make use of it is Absurdly misrepresentative of the kind of space needed to House an AI Program)

Allowing Only access to an Elite little group of decision makers gets wiped right off the table as something with Far too many easily foreseeable problems in a way that whoever suggests it as being a moderately good... or god forbid,the Best Idea would be looked at as having ulterior motives and potentially work stashed under their belt as a full fledged tyrant in the making who stands to gain a seat with the Elite after they finish conning the masses with that bullshit version of Shady Marketer-ing as being the only way to accomplish using AI Technology that can perform those tasks. It's not like we've traveled back in time and can be convinced computers look like they did in the 1950's or the there haven't been IMMENSE improvements with how Data is Stored

Personally.... I believe we'll start hearing about this already being done sooner rather than later and hopefully new Laws will be created regarding Technology Use that it can help get onto the books and enforced appropriately with full approval already being guaranteed by it's ability to predict outcomes/acceptability by the masses accurately

A cleaning up of the Laws Books and Punishments connected to Convictions (multiple convictions as well) is something we're sorely in need of help from AI to accomplish to rid us of the version of Class Warfare present in the Judicial System

I was curious enough to check... It's certified kosher

I wonder what the letter u in the circle bottom right of the new packaging/labeling means?

They definitely give off that type of vibe, totally relatable! Lol

Love the little green guys throughout!
