Check out One On One Flavors. They sell water soluble and oil soluble flavors.
A few years ago I bought a variety of the water soluble flavors for making flavored sparkling water at home. I've enjoyed most of my choices and the few I don't care for are still interesting (and useful for cocktail experiments).
Some of the cola flavorings are fine as-is. Some of them rely on a bit of sweetness to taste like they should.
Am I correct in understand your central question is "what's the practical impact"?
If so then I think it's a good theme for conversation. I've seen suggestions that "death of the artist" applies here. I've also seen "software is apolitical" and similar. While these are valid discussions in their own right: they miss the point.
Using anything created by people whose public speech is actively and consistently attempting to rhetorically enhance their political views implies acceptance or endorsement of those views. It's a kind of identity politics not dissimilar in concept from brand identity.
What is and is not culturally acceptable is (in part) determined by norms established via association with such identities and the credibility-enhancing displays affirming those associations.
Using Omarchy suggests DHH's political views are acceptable. It doesn't matter how much creedance one gives this idea or how much impact it may have. The "Nazi dinner party" principal applies regardless.
That doesn't sound insensitive. It sounds honest.
Much around death is shockingly mundane. For every heaving grief I know there are dozens of petty ones riding its coattails. All of them dull and common. I think that's healthy to recognize.
I asked to receive a drawing of me writing the prompt asking for that drawing. Someone delivered a picture of an abject moron drooling while typing away at a keyboard on a desktop computer. Hah! Jokes on THEM! I was on my CELLPHONE while on the TOILET.
Otherwise accurate. 11/10
What elevates you, in your mind, to replace solidarity with disgust and empathy with such dismissive, petty, useless condescension? Your judgement is meaningless. Your ire misplaced. Your indignation unearned.
Must perfection precede praxis? Can the misled not recognize deception and correct their course? If you're as wise as you think then you would be helping those trying to affect change instead of yelling into the void about how they should be doing it better.
Well, two, actually.
Your comment makes no sense and helps no one.
I keep seeing this sentiment and I don't understand it. Are you speaking purely out of anger and ignorance? The recent No Kings protest was either the third or first largest protest in the history of the U.S.A. and some communities have literally been running ICE gestapo out of their towns.
The Christian Conservative minority have gridlocked the American government, silently stacked the judicial system in their favor, and partnered with the American oligarchy to bankroll fascists and create the most pervasive, effective, and enduring propaganda machines ever seen (that's already worked its way into Australia and had been finding footholds in Europe).
The idea that Americans aren't doing anything about this or that there could ever possibly be a single unified movement that magically fixes "the issue" is incoherently reductive and impractical. If I see a comrade struggling for air I don't yell at them to just breathe. I help them remove the pig standing on their neck. What are YOU doing to lend a hand or show lost comrades that there's still hope?
It's not too late. The 14th amendment Section 3 specifically prohibits an insurrectionist from holding public office unless a special Congressional vote is held and passes with a 2/3rds majority.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
All US citizens should call their representatives and demand they uphold their sworn Constitutional duty to refuse the certification of Donald Trump's victory as he is disqualified from holding office.
This is not speculation. Donald Trump was successfully impeached for inciting insurrection. The US is in the middle of a Constitutional crisis which Congress must resolve.

Long time guitar owner here. You could get some wood glue and use a small amount to affix the chip back to the guitar pretty seamlessly so long as you've got a steady hand. In my experience it's harder than it looks.
My direct advice? Keep the missing chunk in a safe place and live with the guitar as-is for a month. There's no rush and this will give you some time to process.
If the gouge ends up sticking in your mind as something you want gone? Call a local luthier, explain what happened, that you'd like it restored, and ask for an estimate or evaluation if you want to budget for the expense. If you have a preference for a kind of repair you can ask for that too. Mending a wound on an instrument can be an opportunity to add beauty instead of simply removing a blemish. What kind of repair you want is entirely up to you and a temp fix now might make the repair more difficult / expensive.
If none of that sounds appealing and if after a few weeks the idea of a nail polish scar or other punky hack makes you happy then go for it! It's your instrument and best is conditional so go nuts. 🙂
My only concern with leaving the natural wood exposed would be moisture and cracking/paint flaking over time. Even if you think the chip looks bad ass and you end up wanting to keep it: I would ask a luthier to seal it up to preserve the instrument (battle-scar and all).
I've tried a few extracts. Blending with other flavors they're pretty good. Solo is hit or miss. Real vanilla bean extract is excellent (if one likes vanilla) but ones found on the same store shelf which use vanillin are... Unpleasant.
I've had some success using bitters as well. Angostura makes an orange bitters that mixes well with the oooflavors cream soda flavoring. It's like a creamsicle's older brother turned into a fizzy water. That one gets a nice lift from a bit of honey or agave but doesn't require it.
