What does GA stands for?

[@marsproductions1]

@@rshrikhande8 It's an identification system using letters. For example AA, AB, AC... you go on until you get to AZ. Then, because you can't use AA, you start with BA, BB, BC... and so on. As for why they had a number system going on at the same time, I can't say for certain but it probably had to do with making the tags easier to read. If you have them all going in the same order it'd be hard to see the identity from a glance since they would be in sequence. So adding in another system breaks up the sequence problem.

@@Mrjmaxted0291 They certainly are not the "natural" norm on a large scale. If any one thinks that they are delusional.

[@niclas9990]

@Christopher Yeniver Fucking humanists, we should have been forcefed hawkist ethics. Humans are a more or less group-oriented species and democracy has done nothing to subvert the biological imperative - we simply don't have to kill other people to survive and so took the rational approach of declining to further do so. You should pick up a copy of The Selfish Gene. It's most likely precisely because of our inborn tendency toward compassion that the human species survived and flourished despite our competive urges. I get that you'd love to find justification in the animal kingdom for your probable autocratic, racist political ideology, but you're neglecting that survival strategies vary from species to species and social structures evolve along with the animals that adopt them. The norms of the animal kingdom are varied and none of them yet have to get wifi working or taxes gathered, so maybe we can forgive ourselves our novelty.

[@niclas9990]

@Christopher Yeniver Also, it's widely acknowledged that the U.S. remained isolationist into the late 19th century. So despite you wanting to regard the federal government as crusading "globally" because it decided against slavery for good in the South well after a good number of other countries had already outlawed the practice, it wasn't. Also, Lincoln was one of our greatest presidents, and had nothing to do with HAWKS ON A NEST, you git.

[@xayatale4269]

I spotted a peregrine falcon on the balcony looking down at my chickens. It was tiny like a crow. No more than ten feet away from the door. Flew away the moment I opened the door. Still feel wary of any potential predator of my chickens. In fact, in my neighborhood, there is a family of crow who keeps birds of prey away. So it's fun to just sit and watch the sky for birds or bugs. Aerial chase are fun to see.
