I'd say Hawaii. While sure, everybody wants to go on vacation there it is so far away from the rest of us and quite hardly in the national news light that we wouldn't notice it gone for a while.


Yes, but Joint base Pearl Harbor-Hickam If that vanishes, we'd know, it's hard to cover that up. I was thinking Wyoming since no one lives there.

But I think people would suddenly notice if there were a large sea in the middle of the country.

Not without critical damage to job satisfaction. Morale is important in any work environment.

This is why surprisingly autonomous machines tend to take the place of humans more and more often on the workfloor, because morale isn't even an issue for those technological marvels.

At the same time they might not say anything and just enjoy the new water front property. Also the states around Wyoming, South Dakota and what not, who lives there anyway?

Florida's highest point would still be 140 feet above predicted sea level if all glaciers melted. But almost all of Florida would be gone.

Which is going to become a problem for the Republicans. Not because of global warming, for you can be damn sure they will still deny it even exists by that time, but because of a tragic loss of voters.

Yes, and the Aquatic Merpeople will become the primary voting demographic in Florida, and we know all about them. Always swimming around so as not having to give in to theft taxes.

Moving is a thing.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I've no information, I just remembering seeing this last week.

In regards to your question about whether he was banned, I doubt it. I admit I don't know policy but I assume that - if a mod were to be banned from the website they'd also have been stripped of that respectful mod title. Yumyum still has mod title.

Considering you can't ban a mod (They've actually tested this), I'm pretty sure it's the former.
