It's fairly standard for each municipality here in sweden to own a landlord company that has some small fraction of the local housing supply and is explicitly for the public good.
I've lived in such housing basically my entire life and it's so hilariously superior to anything else that if they removed the arbitrary limit on how much housing they can own, the municipal landlords would utterly dominate and the total spending on housing would probably drop by 50%..

Not just california, basically the entire world has maybe 10% of the HSR that should exist, japan is the only country i feel has a sufficient amount of railways.

i mean have you seen the the rest of that city? god figured that if instant retribution didn't work last time, this time he'll just gradually make it worse until we stop.

ironically this is close enough to what you should do, just with the minor detail that you should let them only barely dry out.

it's a morphological category, not cladistic.

Like how "tree" is any plant with a thick robust trunk and branchy crown.

the tail is part of the spine, our tail ends BEFORE the butt

that takes like half an hour though, and affects the bottom end.

i don't think it would even be that much of a concern, really. Not only can one person have multiple children (so you can do one surrogate and one genetically yours), but there are plenty of people who'd just be happy they get to give birth to their child and couldn't care less about genes.

similar DNA is bad actually, the whole point of sexual reproduction is to increase diversity to make the population as robust as possible. If you have a ship full of clones all it takes is one virus/bacteria/fungus mutating in just the wrong way and everyone will get infected.

Like, this is why we got a new type of banana some decades ago, it's all giant monocultures which is hilariously vulnerable to disease.

i don't think it's that fucked up to have everyone with a womb be a surrogate mother, you'd just have to select people who are okay with it. There's nothing wrong with being a surrogate, it's basically just adoption except you get to give birth to the child.

just bringing a ton of frozen sperm and eggs is honestly the real answer i feel, why worry about bringing a bunch of living people who need resources and stuff, when you can just bring a quarter of earth's diversity with you in the freezers?

The two downsides to this is that people can't really have kids with each other, and if the freezers malfunction you're a bit in the shit.
