    Exactly. Why should your average person be culpable for what a government does, simply because they claim you as part of their "nation." It's all bullshit meant to control you, to make you think that a huge group of diverse people all share the same identity. It's accepted as fact now, but even 500 years ago, people would think it was an absurd concept. Nationalism has rotted peoples' brains.

    Jesus this is terrifying. I'd much rather talk to a cute looking robot like WALL-E than one that looks human. I really don't get the point of this.

    Very interesting. I have autism and also gastrointestinal issues (probably related), so I wonder if a fecal transplant can be something that can help me with that in the future.

    You're right, but I think it's something to keep an eye on because it could turn out to be a bigger problem, but we just don't have enough evidence yet. It is true that European honey bees are an invasive species in many places though.

    I'd also like to say that some of your comments have come off as dismissive.

    Try replacing your lawn with a meadow of native wildflowers. I did that recently and the pollinators absolutely love it. You'll also get all sorts of cool critters coming to rest their, like birds.
