Trump mandated that the language name be changed to Americanese

This is fun because of the assumptions it makes of the reader before it's funny, and once you get it, you're in the 'in' crowd. I lold

I'm not sure what kinda gymnastics the wheelchair user's got to be doing to get on the shitter once they've rolled themselves into a stall backwards... Or why it's only after a shit that they can't use doors

Picks from a list of films with similar runtimes and jumps you in at the same point from the beginning. Now you're 20 mins into sharknado 4, have no idea what's supposed to have happened. Doesn't matter. It's sharks in a tornado it's not too hard to follow.

People do kinda pick where they are though? If there's some unoccupied housing in Denver, but you're living in Austin it's not necessarily useful, that's what I meant. I agree in principle on social housing, but there would probably need to be some kind of associated projects -- either new construction or housing where ppl live but there isn't enough accommodation, or new jobs created in areas with surplus, or both... And then you also need to think about local amenities (shops, hospitals, parks, schools, that sort of SimCity thing)

Sorry, I might have come across as if I fully disagreed with the notion, but I really don't - I just think that the idea only works with a more integrated policy.

Do people get to choose where they live in this scenario, or do we just allocate housing based on where's currently unoccupied?

I was once like you. Until started optimising performance. There's always a better way.

Ok so like this shouldn't be too hard to explain. I assume this is your first time on this planet? Well it doesn't matter. Sometimes someone will say or imply two separate things in the same sentence. An example might be something like 'have you seen my new green pencil?'. Now these things might not always have a relation -- new and green do not necessarily imply one another. But they have a semantic link nonetheless. Doctor does not necessarily imply intellectual, but may be considered relevant. Idk man stop getting upset
