I don’t think chickens are usually referred to as “dog-sized” even if it’s occasionally true.

PNW weirdo here. I like things to be green and alive, I like my skin unburned, and I like being able to poke around tide pools on a lonely beach. Clouds and rain help all of that.
It’s currently sunny and about 77°F, which is about as warm as I want it unless I’m going swimming. Late summer when it approaches 100° is miserable, but for now the bright weather is fine and good for the plants.
Raw mushrooms are borderline wasteful to eat. We can’t digest the chitin and cell walls so most of the nutritional value passes straight through.
The unintended consequence is genocide. When people need permission to reproduce that introduces a convenient method to keep certain people from having kids.
A strike means things stop. A protest vote means things go backwards, as if there was an entire workforce of scabs waiting to swoop in when the strike starts. There’s no leverage.
At least they’re hydrating potato chips. Kidney failure is a big problem for cats, sticking to an all-wet diet is already better than average.
“…depopulating is not actually necessary in our journey for sustainability.” Illustrating this point in the comment you replied to.
If we can reach asteroid mining that will solve a lot of scarcity issues.
Ol’ Madge thought that money gets burned when spent rather than circulating through the local economy.
“The trolley might have stopped on its own”
The problem is not the resources, it’s the distribution. No political will to end global poverty, no profit in feeding the hungry.
Why would I willingly give up my ability to help myself? Roadside assistance is great, but relying on it being available is foolhardy. If you only ever drive in the city you live and work in, sure I guess. I don’t trips of 40+ miles are that unusual though.
The hope of all emergency features is that you never use them. I’ve never been in a collision but I’m also not stripping out air bags to cut weight.
As with most of this country’s problems, our particular flavor of Christianity (Puritans and Protestants) has lead to a culture where you have to earn things instead of everyone benefitting from a well-educated, healthy society.
They don’t care about life on Earth, they’re preoccupied with Heaven.
They make a ton of difference if you’re standing on a hard floor for more than an hour or two. Still worse than something to sit on but stools are a luxury beyond the reach of American workers.
I don’t want them to adapt, I want them abandoned and left in the Bronze Age.
Only if you trust the French more than the guy who named it.
We should re-do Romanization. Start over, sound it out, have a big Anglosphere conference to decide on what letters make what noise and stick to it.
That’s why UBI should just be cash. No account, no card, nothing to trace or manage.
Aliens.
