    EDIT: Thread done, I have what I want, thankyou!

    Hi!

    I'd love some new dna in my yard.

    I already have a bit of caespitosa, quite proliferation they are so i'm not interested in more unfortunately.

    However.

    I have cash.

    Cash.

    $

    So sell me something!

    Ideally more than a cm wide.

    I'd be grateful.

    Thanks

    So far.

    Privacy is necessary in order to prevent persecution by the state or societies within that state unless you yourself are persecuting unlawfully in which case your privacy is void to afford another persons or corporations privacy.

    ?

    Privacy is necessary so we're not forced to be in a situation where you may feel socially uncomfortable.

    I think the concept of entitled privacy can cause significant distress in our secular society, when the difference of ones overt actions to ones covert ideals is great.

    The non-secular believers in an omnipotent God however have no privacy as they are never truly alone.

    Personally I feel that Snowden's quotes are a bit odd considering he infringed upon the privacy of the state. To me wikileaks is about dismantling privacy, not protecting it.

    Guys if you'd like to talk about data retention changes go make a thread in chill, i intended this to be a broad ideological discussion about privacy, not a specific discussion about the retention of meta data. Thanks!

    The animal point is an interesting one but the question still remains WHY?!

    I'm not sure if an animal can accurately assess danger (i'm being literal there, i am not sure)

    I know my cats should feel safe inside their home but when they hear a foreign noise they freak out just like everyone else, if they were to run and retreat I would imagine it would be to eliminate potential stressors found in the environment.

    Now don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to shoot down suggestions or argue, I made this thread hoping someone could change my mind or give a different input for me to digest while working. This is all brain food for me :D

    A lot of people feel entitled to privacy. I'm wondering how many people are against telepathy?

    Maybe it's just easier to have curtains & VPNs than to host the revolution?

    True true, i'm definitely guilty of that sort of thinking. It's cultured unfortunately :(.

    Privacy just seems to be an odd one for me, from my understanding privacy was first conceptualised with freedom but to me freedom and privacy seem at ends to each other. If I have to hide things am I really free?

    If everybody was all accepting we wouldn't need to keep anything private.

    Or if we all shared the same ideals we could willingly share everything.

    Is privacy a concept designed to protect us from the state when their laws are unjust?

    Unless there is a difference between our ideals and the ideals of the state and these ideals are actioned upon we shouldn't require privacy.

    Perhaps from social embarrassment or judgement?

    Do we need privacy because we do not trust each other?

    My moral compass points this way.

    Well i have had awhile to think about it, I have a soft copy I got KT to sign at EGA but have always wanted a hard copy. It's second ed not first but it's still good and i'm not even sure if there were any hard cover copies of first edition.

    So with that said!

    Queue the lights.

    Drumroll please.

    ...

    $150

    edit: not a super high price but i've weighed up the amount i've spent on other books with the rarity and demand of this one and I think it's fair.

    I've had success with coir, squeeze it till only a few drops of water comes out, it should be moist but not wet.

    I've also had bad luck with unclean seeds spreading mould before they germinate.

    I think the benefits of coir are that root damage is minimalised when transplanting seedlings, however all this is unscientific observations :P

    I was a very curious child, had a 5 year older brother, so sometimes I was able to sit in on stories i probably shouldn't have been able to hear, no internet to find things out from though, only able to listen to others talk.

    I was very curious about tripping and altered states, how my parents would go mushroom hunting and tripping etc.

    My parents would generally start talking about it then they would become aware that they were talking to a child and tone it down, and say I shouldn't be learning about this as i was too young.

    I imagine it would be a bit harder to limit a child's learning potential in this age of internet.

    I think teach him about who he should be having these discussions with? Don't really want him asking teachers at school about these topics, might shine a bad light onto you.

    Please tell me you named him after this series. (I find the theme song for this gets stuck in my head every time I watch it)

    Nah Mr. Pickes was the name assigned to him by the Animal Welfare League, maybe they have a fan?

    His name is Tai Lung
