My issue with unhealthy foods being GMO or not is one thing, but it coincides with the nature of GMOs themselves and how they are being mass utilized with herbicides the first place.

I don't have a problem with a potato that is GM'd to resist droughts, insects and cold temperatures. It doesn't change the nutritional profile. But I don't want to eat a potato that's been sprayed with herbicides dozens of times.
You keep bringing up unhealthy foods in general, then trying to link that to GMOs. Your actions are speaking louder than words.

You're afraid of herbicides because you probably don't know much about them. What kind of herbicides will be sprayed on potatoes that often? Probably not even a herbicide, probably an insecticide or a fungicide. Both of which have very clear pre-harvest interval restrictions on application, as well as restrictions on application rate per year and per instance. On top of this, there are inspections for traces of residual pesticides that would detect if a crop had been sprayed and harvested too early. ALSO there are state and federal mandates on who can spray chemicals as well as the training they are required to have.

So once again, can you tell me what kind of herbicide is applied dozens of times a year? The only POSSIBLE one I can think of would be Bt, and that's only sprayed in organic farming situations.

Yes, GMO and non-GMO crops are indeed not different from a nutritional standpoint, but you don't seem to understand that the GMO crops are used in the majority of all of our animal feeds and processed foods. Things like breads, chips, soups, cereals, candies, sodas, frozen dinners, beers and more. These are the foods that, when eaten for years with no attention or care to your own health, will cause insulin resistance and metabolic disorders like diabetes and heart disease. That's why I mentioned how the FDA recommending 300g carbs per day is total horseshit. Not a single average person needs that many carbs spread multiple times throughout one day. The only ones that can get away with that carb count are athletes that need the quick burning energy to keep up their performance.
So you don't have issue with GMOs. You have issue with foods are are unhealthy no matter if they are organic or GMO.

Considering I literally work in commercial seed breeding I understand these topics more than you ever will.

The government recommends a diet of up to 2000 calories and 300g carbs a day, which is considered "healthy" by their standards. That is a total lie, as carbs are the most nonessential food group. Your body can survive without carbs, but it requires essential amino acids (protein) and essential fatty acids (healthy fats) to maintain homeostasis and live a healthy life. Instead, people are overweight and consuming tons of empty carbs that have no nutrition and only cause you to repeat and endless cycle of feeling like shit until you eat your next meal. Millions of people are overweight or obese and trapped in this cycle. It gets to the point where people believe medications will solve their issues, so people will go out and get multivitamins or tums for their heartburn. Guess which company also makes things like One-a-Day vitamins, Flintstones vitamins, Alka-Seltzer and many others? Bayer and Monsanto.
This has nothing to do with GMOs though. GMO crops are nutritionally no different from non-GMO.

If anything this exposes how tinfoil hat you are lmao. Bayer purchased Monsanto around a year ago, and before that Bayer hardly utilized GMOs while Monsanto made no vitamins, etc.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29475651 - toxic to benefical gut bacteria in animals (why wouldn't it be toxic for humans as well? We eat animals and plants that come into contact directly or indirectly with glyphosate)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30877537 - alters adrenal system
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24678255 - chelates trace minerals, develop digestive problems similar to Celiac disease

The chemicals also make their way into our water supplies as well.
First one is based on studies of herbivore GI tracts. Don't think that's going to apply the same to omnivores.
Second only shows affects at rates much higher than the daily exposure rate for the average person.
Third is a literature review with no backing other than correlations.

Only one of those that has any useful info is the first one tbh.

Also glyphosate doesn't leach into the water supply. It binds to soil.

Farmers also had to work much more to till the land if they didn't use Round Up. So for a lot of them they have to choose between lots of money with little work, or lots of work with a varying amount of money.

Glyphosate has been proven to alter the microbacteria in the GI tract and prevents them from creating different proteins that the body needs. It also weakens the adrenal system and chelates important trace minerals like zinc, which is necessary for many functions such as aiding the immune system fighting off bacteria and viruses, and is required to help with protein and DNA synthesis. If the body cannot properly synthesis new proteins and DNAs, your cells all throughout your body will become weak and more prone to disease and cancers. It basically shortens your lifespan.
Do you understand how beneficial no-till and minimum till systems are?

Also link the study please.

It ties into corporations like Monsanto using massive amounts of toxic herbicides like Round Up
  1. Monsanto wasn't applying Round Up, farmers were. Farmers also had the choice to not use the chemical.
  2. It isn't toxic, it's one of the most widely studied herbicides and has been found to be safe in every one of them except for the IARC's stupid categorical system.

Totally up to you. Using dual or double bladed kinda requires you get the dual wield feats though so your negatives on hit aren't garbage.

Doesn't matter all that much in 1, in 2 I always ran dual since there are so many solid crystals you can find.

This generation wants instant gratification. They dont want to graduate college and get an entry level position. They want to graduate and be a VP without any experience. And they expect to have a big house by the time theyre 30 instead of working for it.
The main issue being that even entry-level positions are often requesting both a 4 year degree and multiple years experience for low level pay.

A pay level that is not worth getting the 4 year degree, most of the time.

It should be noted that the classic 'work your way up' strategy in a company is also dead. The only real way to improve your career is generally finding a new position in a lateral move/changing companies these days.

Instead of telling Ben to go to Alderaan with the plans, why not just tell him to go to the rebel base on Yavin IV? Cut out the middle man.
Because at the point the message was recorded, Alderaan was a much more inconspicuous place to take them.

Also having a random message floating around with the location of your secret rebel base is bad.

The characterization of Kylo Ren. His story has been awesome so far. The best Star Wars villain in the films.


Lol hes my second least favorite part of the trilogy. Shouldve kept his mask on.

That. He lost all coolness the second the mask came off. Remember his first introduction when he stopped the blaster and we were like "oh shit"? Bad ass. Once the mask came off he became a whiny bitch jobber. Not badass


A villain doesnt have to be badass in order to be a complex, compelling villain.

Sure but they need to be a threat.

Guy obviously isn't a threat to any of the main characters lol.

She's good but that wasn't that impressive. I think Orianthi is better when she isn't making shitty pop songs.


true, that's undeniable talent, even if that particular kinda song isn't exactly up my alley. never really been much of a fan of the likes of Steve Vai or Joe Satriani or any of the other "virtuoso"-type prolonged wankery instrumentalists. i've seen Orianthi's live cover of Voodoo Child though, and that was impressive to say the least.

still, with Thalia it's not just about her talent and skill, the likes of which are much too rare in women, but for me it's also about her fun and expressive stage presence, and the way she just exudes confidence in her performance. and also, she's downright, drop-dead gorgeous. and the OP did specify hottest female musician who is actually talented. i don't really find Orianthi attractive.

Y'know that's totally fair, agreed.
