Electrical circuits are ridiculous. And it's just interconnected circuits upon circuits spanning the globe. A device in Montana is physically connected to a device in California through an unbroken (ignoring transformers) series of wires.

The fact that we got materials to move electrons from a hundred miles away to do things like calculate 3d shapes for entertainment is insane.

Criticism of the process is fair, but also an emotional knee jerk reaction over the use of chlorine is still unwarranted.

What's worse than living in a dystopia? Living in a dystopia with a major medical issue.

Another way to frame this is that, you can't just magically create a singular being that's a new species because it wouldn't have anything to breed with. So it's a long term gradual change of a complete population into what we know as a chicken today.

Most of our tap water has a touch of chlorine to kill off microorganisms. No need to jerk that knee.

Still probably a good idea to keep an eye on that Tesla behind you. Or just let them past.

Also a bunch of other issues with small town living like lack of privacy/anonymity, entertainment, restaurants, government services, etc... And these problems get more severe the smaller the community.

But people really did spread out to smaller towns during COVID. Property values went crazy in a lot of small towns around me.

I've used it in ramen a few times. Cut into small bits used to flavor some broth.

Also, I just like eating it as part of a meal sometimes. Like with a bagel and fruit.

I'm with you. I refuse to believe the American machinery would allow us to attack an ally any time soon. A lot would need to change.

Completely ignoring and never talking to them.

Sure something to consider, but they can't just up and replace 3 million people with 3 million rando Trumpers that aren't likely to quit their jobs and move to another state for that anyway.

I think a full federal workforce strike would be pretty effective.
