Oh hush, not everything has to be awful all the time.

It’s really not.

(Well done, you got the joke!)

The “fundamental systemic inequalities” that would help us poor unintelligent rubes are things like hospitals and public transit.

Uh, yeah, I know. Everyone knows, in fact. Thats why healthcare reform and expansions to public transit are two of the absolute cornerstones of liberal policy. You’re really all about this victim mindset but it’s clear you’ve just been convinced that’s the rational conclusion, you haven’t arrived at that conclusion by weighing up the evidence or anything.

I’d argue that education funding and expansion of social services are two more super critical things that have been yanked out from under rural communities, but it’s not like it’s literally my job to answer questions like “how can we improve food security for underserved communities” or “how specifically is rural healthcare access inadequate” or anything.

But lucky for you, nothing you’re saying here really matters! We’re going to keep trying to address the systemic problems you’ve been saddled with no matter how bitter and blind to your own behavior you are! Rejoice, rural person! Venerate urbanism! Celebrate the boons we give you!

Sure but they’re still right. Access to education or even basic resources for people in rural communities is a serious problem in pretty much every country, even to the extent that “uneducated hicks” have essentially been weaponized in the US. The rural/urban divide is almost entirely manufactured, but one group sure seems to spend a great deal of their time trying to fix the fundemental systemic inequalities forced onto the other group… and the other group overwhelmingly hates them for it.

Makes… sense…?

… seven toes??

Fun background info: Trusted Representatives don’t actually carry their shard of the key (to prevent exactly this scenario), they have (iirc) a keycard which allows them to access the secure storage medium where their different pieces are stored.

Don’t just cut it, take a section of the harness out (especially a split or junction). Much more of a pain to splice in a new section than to just reconnect some split wires.

or uh… don’t do crime. Vandalism bad.

It’s the most advanced radar system in the world, but inexplicably it’s only used to monitor Iowa…

It’s just a great word. “joooooooooorn”. Plus the images would undoubtedly be referred to as “jornography” which is just grand.

Llook geopolitics aside, I cannot believe we americans missed out on having the “JORN” radar system. What an incredible name.
