This is what the people and women of Afghanistan clearly want or 10,000 Taliban wouldn't have overrun an army. Omg they werent getting paid, omg no air support. To hell with Afghanistan. Theyre literally what reddit thinks southern Christians are. The "good guys" lost so quick the Pentagon couldnt believe it. Just don't fly planes into our cities and youre welcome to be as backward as you want. Literally ask any American soldier about Afghan National Army guys. They were useless and deserve what they get. No amount of vice documentaries will convince me otherwise. We gave them planes, tanks, and guns. 3 thousand American kids are dead for either the most ungrateful people on earth, or they always wanted to be medieval

It still takes centuries for the Thwaites ice to enter the sea after the ice shelf collapses. One of the scientists who spends months at a time on that glacier literally said she would only see some of it disappear in her lifetime.

> isolated from dangerous contamination like e-coli and other bacteria

Stop parroting pseudo science and learn the facts. Most varieties of e-coli are not harmful to people, but since it's presence indicates that harmful bacteria is present it's used as an indicator of danger.

Do you really think all of humanity's food can be grown in buildings? And "isolated"... Go watch Fantastic Fungi and educate yourself. We are part of a web of life with a proper balance between organisms. Hydro facilities spend all their time fighting infections
