It's generally considered rude to stop reading one sentence into a message in order to shoot off pithy replies

* Jurisdictional: Food stamps can't be adjusted by NYC itself (as far as I know), so if they're insufficient this works around that issue

* Store access: Food stamps don't necessarily solve the problem of "there's no grocery store close to me", and if the market can't be nudged in that direction, a direct intervention solves it faster.

As a counter-example, the LCBO (Ontario government liquor store) has been demonstrably fine for decades. Failure modes exist, but I don't think they're guaranteed.

I'm not interested in having "nuanced discussions" about whether the Roma people have some kind of Nuisance Gene that makes discussion of extermination valid

If you'd like to make an argument that isn't just "ethnic cleansing is okay sometimes if the ethnicity is REALLY annoying" go ahead

"it's not ethnic cleansing because this time the Jews really ARE evil, okay"

And there's been almost no fiber laid for the last two years after Bell bought up the companies that were actually doing innovative rollout :/

"Cable is equivalent" only if you don't need/want a symmetric connection - until they lay fiber I'm stuck with an awful upload speed.

Unfortunately I haven't heard much about build-out since Bell bought the company that was laying all that fiber (Start.ca)

I had to move to a place that didn't have fiber but by all means should be getting it Real Soon Now (urban, surrounded by fiber build-out, on an arterial) but I'm basically accepting that I'll be doomed to DOCSIS for the foreseeable future.

>I think there's such a strong difference between remigration and ethnic cleansing

you can think what you want to think but this is definitionally incorrect

You've mistaken a statement for an argument

this is a fact you can look up

I don't think "produced for free" is a salve to this, completely, at least.

People spending time/effort/resources on Authentic Stuff have to eat, and there's no shortage of people who have some other income source posting slop for the social standing/clout/attention of being an artist/a recomp dev/an emulator dev/etc.

Any situation where you can extract a benefit from a stolen credit card and then sell that benefit before the chargeback renders it moot will have some fraud-based usage.

if it doesn't serve a purpose then why users

Kids can bully kids in real life for not being on <app>.

People pronounce drug names all sorts of ways, and there's a lot of them (with a steady trickle of new ones)

I think there's a distinction to be made between "a nuisance complaint" and "a legitimate complaint whose presumptive odds of succeeding in court are less than guaranteed"

"if you are in the air and not descending, you can just not care about gravity"

The dream of a vaccine or cure is all well and good, but when my grandfather has Alzheimer's today and there's no properly functioning social supports, processes, etc to get him into a home and it takes months and months of phone calls and panicked searches when he wanders off to improve the situation at all, I think maybe there really is a dearth of "caring about the problem and not just the solution"

>What have you added to the conversation? Nothing.

This doesn't strike me as particularly constructive discourse

Apparently not

>civil war in the US

Between which parties, exactly..?

It seems like you want a different website than Reddit

I believe you're referring to emotions, which are a separate and distinct concept/term

Everyone rushing to get these consolidations done before America starts having anti-trust law again, huh?

From the article text of its conclusion:

"the EcoHealth funding was not related to the experiments, but the collection of samples."

Pretty cut and dry?

I feel like "having enough useful context to be jumping in and answering the question in question" and "needing an LLM to shave off 25 minutes of writing on the subject" feel like they're incompatible premises.

I would prefer you give me whatever part of your answer takes you five minutes and then I can work from there on my end, in the method and with the tools I see fit. In other words - give me the prompt.

Totally possible I'm misunderstanding the situation you're presenting, though.

Going over the patch notes, here's some buffs you might have missed:

Mandatory parking minimums, high speed limits, car lanes without bus lanes or bike lanes, tearing down neighborhoods to build interchanges and highways...

And yet, 100% of states, successful and unsuccessful, use violence for various purposes

>NIH funded gain-of-function research into coronaviruses in Wuhan

Even this assertion is heavily, heavily disputed:

They'll send you to collections, probably.
