We decriminalized drugs in some states here in the U.S.

I even voted for it under the understanding that rehab programs were part of the packaged deal.

They weren't.

My city's streets rapidly became very dangerous from the influx of users, with a sharp spike in violent crimes and theft. Some of the parks in my town also became danger zones and needle-hazards, which my family and I had to start avoiding.

We re-criminalized them, and it has slowly been returning to how it used to be. I don't think it'll ever go back all the way, but there is a noticable difference in quality of life here, and I think I learned my lesson.

Isn't Snikket just a fork of Conversations for Android? It doesn't look like it's any better either.

Conversations+Prosody all the way.

By itself or in short sentences, I default to day-ta, but otherwise I'm exactly the same.

I am a neural network that can generate highly photorealistic frames of Doom that seem like real life. I have no output port so these images cannot be seen by others.

that seemed like a job that literally only existed to give some people a job

That is exactly what it's for, and it prevents a lot of worse problems just by existing. It significantly reduces crime rates by allowing people who otherwise couldn't earn income, and provides a way for ex-cons to successfully reintegrate into society and not relapse, as well as providing low/no skill labor. It gives some a sense of purpose - retirees who physically can't do any other work for example and need something to do.

It is literally there to give people jobs and its a good thing.

It is not a conflation. Word is a component of M365.

I administer a tenant today that has given me plenty of understanding. Perhaps you should brush up on yours.

Salem's not at the northern border. You still have the distance of portland to go, or at least driving around it, and even that can take a while.

From border to border, Organic Maps estimates 5 hours and 20 minutes, which does not include traffic.

I did run the calculation from salem to sacramento though, and i was off by about double. Its 16 hours to southern california (ive done the drive), but to sacramento, its only 8. I own that mistake, I don't travel to california much and mistook the trip I took for the distance i was thinking about.

Do you realize how much data is sent from Word to the O365/M365 service as you type if you have an internet connection? Even if you aren't saving the document online, it sends a TON. Especially now with copilot.

Excuse me but web office apps are 95% on par with their desktop counterparts now. There are still a few power features missing but that gap is slowly closing constantly.

So I am not being willfully ignorant. I work with both daily.

I can.

And I will.
