I dunno. I was surprised to learn the extent to which it’s carcinogenic. And the fact that there are no known benefits.
Cob and rammed earth are hard to beat if you’ve got the right environment for them
Not despite, but because! Drawing whatever the act is would be less funny
I’m no fan of the democrats, but they don’t want to systematically exterminate people like me.
I’ve read most of Asimov’s sci-fi but I’ve only read one Reynolds. It was great, I’ll definitely read some more. Thanks for the response!
Yeah I’m gonna need examples. I read a shit ton of science fiction and can’t recall having encountered this.

That’s fair. I went with Covid because J6 did have any real ongoing impact. It happened and then everyone tried to move on like nothing had happened. That was itself surreal, of course. Covid had more of the “this changes everything forever” feeling (though at this point it seems like everyone has forgotten about it)
Look, I lived through both 9/11 and the pandemic and other events besides. If you didn’t feel any weird vibes in the first weeks of March 2020, I’m guessing this is more of a You problem.
My point is that many people felt destabilized by the attack. Maybe you’re too galaxy brained for that, but maybe you can try being galaxy brained enough to understand how others felt.
You remember how weird and scary and paranoid everything was in the early days of the pandemic? That’s a bit what it was like on/after 9/11. It was a shock to the entire nation, and the world suddenly felt uncertain in a way it hadn’t on 9/10.
You’re contextualizig the attack in terms of loss of life, numbers, but what you’re missing is the vibe of the thing.

Your impression of a city is probably skewed by how you interact with it. If you drive in, pay for parking, go to events or attractions, eat out, etc. it all adds up. But that’s not necessarily the experience of someone who lives in a city. They’re living their life, not sightseeing.
