Fair point.

For a truly scary animal to have on your side, what do you think of wasps? Airborn, vicious and capable of team work.

So, essentially, you chose violence, be it through He-Man (Battle Cat) or the Teenage Mutant Turtles (Rocksteady).

I’ve read somewhere some have been successfully (more or less) tamed.

Get a chicken. They still know they’re dinossaurs.

Russians inadvertantly did that, when trying to rear blue foxes for fur. Selecting for tameness altered the coat.

Alcoholic beverages

• white wine (but a dip into red would be interesting)
• beer, for the carbonation
• champagne, for the bubbles and the decadence of it

Other liquids

• sparkling water, a jacuzzi without one
• rose water (for those who don’t know, it is sickly sweet smelling and very persistent and can be food grade)
• oil, like sunflower, olive or any other of the like. After, just scrape you body, like the ancient athletes would do

It a phenomenon in my country in the early 90’s. The first series was fun but after that things started going crazy.

I don’t know what Cashapp is but I’m going to take the risk and say it’s a fintech that handles direct money services. How off am I?

But I’m talking about a bank. The institution only exists through an app. Let’s say you do a odd job and you get paid cash. You can’t deposit that money: there is no place or way to do so.

We’re talking of what is, technically a bank (Moey), that entered my country through another bank. What is even stranger is that you can’t even go to one of those banks and make a deposit on you account.

I use the services of what you can consider the most de-materialized bank in my country, which has less than twenty physical locations in the entire country, but they have a very robust help line and you can use the locations of another bank in the same group to deposit money to your account.

But Moey? Either the money is wired in or your stuck.

I’m shocked.

Right off the top of my head, I can mention an entire finacial institution that only exists through an app. No website, no physical locations, no nothing. It’s one app and that is it.

Correct!

The country where I was born and raised is 900 years old. This implies a lit of history, both good and bad.

The country was literally started because our first king decided he wasn’t going to allow his mother and her lover to steal his father’s lands. After that, the Pope demanded our country to pay the church a huge sum in order to be recognized, the king said “we’ll eventually come to that” and never payed. We were taken over by our neighbouring country at some point because of blood ties and after 75 years we just said “enough is enough, these guys are getting housted”. We fought Napoleon. We had a bloody civil war. Somewhere inbetween all of this we decided “Let’s build a lot of boats and see where we can go.” because the price of spices was to damn high. And more recently we got out of bed for a morning, threw down a fascist dictatorship, and went back to our quiet life. Nobody cares or notices us but yet we have one of the most powerful passports in the world.

But why all of this boasting?

It’s cool to have all this history and background. But I don’t owe my country nothing. I owe who I am to my family and friends and I owe to the future generations to remember where we come from and teach them the same I learned by myself: we are our country. We decide what we stand for and we represent the values we want to spread.

The government of your land may be corrupt today but it does not have or needs to represent you. And by refusing that, you put up your own resistance. No matter how small, that is resistance. And if you feel your flag needs to be reclaimed, put it upside down.

Stay strong, OP.

Hey! Riding the Battle Cat in the first panel, then a jet rider on the second!

How long until someone saya “F it, I’m hacking and disassembling the parts I don’t want on this.”?

Will this be done through funding colleges and universities, doctorates and other publicly funded projects and initiatives?

If so, good. AI might be a good tool, after a long, curated, legally directed and supervised, period of investigation, to create safe tools for public use.

If not, and this money is to be thrown out to private companies, with little to no oversight, it is pure waste of resources, badly needed to fund other social sectors.

Smell it. 90% of the flavours we perceive are smells.

Sometimes, there is none. A person snaps, acts on an impulse, causes misery and that is it.

Thank you for the insight. I respect it but nonetheless those are features completely indiferen to me.

Completely understandable. And I agree.

Can someone explain me what are the cloud saves for and achievements?

What is the point of gamifying a game?
