Totally agree with you, I just think we should be forthright about each tool's capabilities.

In my personal experience, after a few days of use (going down my block adding stores) I realized that there were certain things I couldn't add/change in OrganicMaps so I needed a different tool.

That said, it's still the first tool I reach for since it's so easy and user friendly.

Just noting that while Organic Maps does allow a pretty good level of editing, it's not a feature complete map editor. There are many others apps/sites that are purpose-built for editing if you need more functionality. i personally use Vespucci on Android.

This has happened so many times it must be on purpose. Something like those who come back are likely to be more desperate than those who decide to leave and therefore less likely to get in their way.

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't A Low-Brow, Crass Approach to Plant Ecology & Evolution as muttered by a Misanthropic Chicago Italian. We study plants through the lens of ecology and evolution, rather than what supposed anthropocentric uses they can provide (as if holding up the biosphere wasn't enough).

Some examples in the book include the Wendat people and Teotihuacan. You can also check out the book's wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything.

One of the core conclusions of the book that you may find interesting (quote from the wiki):

Based on their accumulated discussions, the authors conclude by proposing a reframing of the central questions of human history. Instead of the origins of inequality, they suggest that our central dilemma is the question of how modern societies have lost the qualities of flexibility and political creativity that were once more common.

I recommend reading The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber for more details on societal structures of the past

Organic Maps gets their map data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). All OSM stuff is open source and the data is entered in by volunteers. If your area doesn't have much yet, you should consider being the change by adding your favorite spots!

Other people have mentioned things like StreetComplete, which is an app that helps you fill in the gaps of some OSM data.

and if you account for taxation it'll be even less

I think some of the confusion here might be that this comic is specifically referencing booting out bigots and their apologists.

if someone is willing to argue in bad faith (in this case, specifically bigots), there is no reason to listen to that or anything else they have to say since they've shown they are willing to argue in bad faith at all. I also think anyone who is an apologist of them is also not worth listening to because they are in bad faith by proxy.

that being said, it's perfectly okay to have people arguing in good faith while coming to different conclusions. there can be disagreement and that is healthy as you've said.
