   Originally posted by aldra yeah but I doubt they were built to last when a crate would do; not like horses have dedicated dismounting areas like a bus stop

   
   Well they did, in the past. I've seen one at an old castle. Why would aristocrats use a crate?

   How do you think Victorian ladies mounted their horses with the riding dresses they wore? I regret selling my porcelain doll that was in a Victorian riding costume...

   Were these the kind of stairs fona? These were used in the past to help people mount horses.

   Stressed about moving house, exams, deadlines, my packed schedule and planning a trip in the middle of it all.

   I don't have to go to the south of Ireland to get Irish citizenship.

   Is this for real? It reminds me of House of Leaves, the Plymouth plantation settlers write in a diary that they see stairs in the woods. That's their last entry. They disappear.

    If I would cheat on my husband or not. I think I would if we didn't have sex for six months and it wasn't due to illness or them having to be absent say in war, but I can't know for sure. If it was absence for war I think I'd cheat with a female. Idk...

    I hate all-nighters. I'm going to get something for breakfast now and am not sure what, it's a small store. Usually I'd get some shrimp, a fry or microwave burger.

    Originally posted by aldra a few years ago US/NATO biolabs in Georgia and Eastern Europe were canvassing for DNA from people with specific regional Russian heritage, the concern being that it was being used to configure bioweapons to attack specific populations. such a thing would require a large amount of DNA samples and accompanying information to calibrate properly; if you're trying to create a virus or bacteria that only attacks a specific ethnic group you'd need a lot of wide-ranging data to be able to draw the 'boundaries' for who gets sick and who doesn't. I expect most countries with active bioweapons programs have at least experimented with the idea.
    
    less directly though, what do you think of determinism? how much of your behaviour could potentially be predicted based on your DNA? if a company had access to millions of peoples' DNA and had many of them tied to things like social media profiles, advertising profiles and government records, what conclusions could they draw? would that information be useful to predict and manipulate social behaviours, consumer habits and voting trends?
    
    when this power is held by small groups with no accountability to anyone, what are the chances they'd act to their own benefit vs. any sort of ethical framework or metric?

    
    I am nothing like my mum or her family. On the inside my spirit is similar to my dad's, the same kind of moral compass but it isn't always there and on the outside I seem like a monster. Neither of my parents really knew me.

    I didn't use ancestry.com, they won't ship here because of Brexit.
    
    What value would DNA analysis have?

    I ordered a DNA test kit. I'm nervous about it. My cousin's came back as 2% jedi and I'm concerned because I had an English granny. If I find out I have little celtic blood I will be devastated.

    I'm spaced out. I checked and some of my old crew have been back online recently in the community. I do want to go back but don't have the time or the passion anymore to be creative. Right now I'm looking for a movie to watch.
