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.

I think landlords make a lot of sense for commercially-zoned property, and for residentially there needs to be some way to live somewhere even if you can't afford the mortgage deposit. So there's nuance here that needs addressing IMO.

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

Not sure students are necessarily benefiting? The point of education isn't to hand in completed assignments. Although my wife swears that the Duolingo AI is genuinely helping her with learning French so I guess maybe, depending on how it's being used

Try that count on each of 5 separate browser window. Amaeteur. I exaggerate, of course. Only a couple have that many tabs. I actually closed a window today - it only had 8 tabs - and opened a new one with more tabs from the references of the pages I closed. Eventually I will read the internet.

mRNA vaccines are, of course, just the absolute tits - but they're a tiny proportion of modern vaccines and the very first ones are one a few years old, created to treat COVID. But yeah, 100%, we don't use the virus in the vaccine! Even the first ever vaccine was (as you will know) not created from the disease it was meant to treat, but from one similar enough that it gave protection to the other. And smallpox doesn't exist any more so, well, that worked out pretty well didn't it. You don't give someone the virus to stop them getting that virus, but you might well give them a virus, in an attenuated form of the target

I remember hearing about somewhere - alphabet or meta or something like that - that basically provided adult crèche facilities for the employees. Way beyond just food - On-site nap rooms. Washing machines. Showers. The works. All to enable just a super unhealthy attitude towards work. Thinking about how much that must've affected anyone going there straight after uni when they should have been leaning how to look after themselves makes me shudder with cringe

There's always some percentage of people who are ignorant of global issues and want to stay out of things... You'd think they were Farage voters but actually they usually don't vote
