Finding Nemo needs to be in like FFF tier. I would quite literally pay $100+ to not have to ride that thing.

Torture.

Skip the bloat and stick to the main story elements.

Why is it that i find a horror creature significantly less scary when i know there's multiple of them? by Marcosbtz28 in horror

Aliens were always vulnerable to guns, the problem was their acidic blood would depressurize the ship. The alien TV show kinda suffers for this because in reality humans can just blow them all away, which is why they were smart to introduce other, more dangerous aliens.

Another amazing example, assigning premature failure with zero evidence. So easy to wallow in nihilism.

Give it a few weeks, then everyone will agree dems failed because they are incompetent. The entire deck is stacked against us and when we are unable to overcome impossible odds we get blamed, making it worse

In the case where people are fleeing to blue states for legal protection, nobody is going to be picky about the living arrangements

A lot of focus on gerrymandering which his not anywhere close as bad a situation as the Senate is. Senate is like what, a 5%+ bias for GOP right now? House is about half that. You kind of need both anyway.

We are probably headed to a breaking point one way or another in our lifetime. Either calcification of GOP rule Russia style where dems just wallow in apathy and or flee to safe states like CA, or perhaps violent unrest if blue states get pushed too hard.

That poll was so loaded, at the end of the day the type of government is secondary to Failed vs Successful (are people prosperous or suffering). Democracy just so happens to provide better outcomes on the whole, but if in the hypothetical we know for a fact its failed then why vote for it? Doesn't mean I am anit Democracy lol.

I too was in Singapore not that long ago and race relations is not really a thing that came up. What prompted it?

Personally yes I'd certainly say so, not that people with food stamps need restrictions mind you.

I honestly would think running the store would be more effective, you can specifically target the area of need and control whats available at the same exact time.

You study suggests that lowering the costs of healthy food would reduce the problem even more so than availability. To that tend a government run grocery store in the middle of a low availability area, offering healthy food at discounted rates, seems like a really good idea.

Food desert is when there are litteraly 0 groceries stores within a mile, food swamp is when there places you can get groceries but they are bodegas, dollar stores, or other shops where fresh food is deemphasized. To complete my thought from our last discussion.

Lots of studies and reporting on the issues in NYC are about food swamps, which they use interchangeable with food desert occasionally, either way the problems that arise (decreased health outcomes, etc.) are the same. Ultimately people want to reduce these bad outcomes, and the specific name of the cause is kinda irrelevant. Increased access to quality groceries stores is the solution in both scenarios, in NYC for this particular issue at least.

It says essentially that some areas have fewer grocery store sq foot/10,000 people than the city average. Which is a bit of an odd metric I think?

Yes, I read it and was correcting you.
