Doing so would break nearly all Internet access. Do you really run a whitelist rather than a blacklist? Is it not tedious to add hundreds of domains to one rather than a few to the other?

Wait, so you literally have hundreds of accounts? How do you manage them all?
For what it's worth, I'm Asian and I had no idea that this was a derogatory word towards Asians and it doesn't bother me.
None of which I know...
Also, people forget that Discord's streaming capability is, unfortunately, absolutely top-notch; no other community-screensharing platform has fewer issues, and my friends and I like to watch each other play games often.
This is exactly what I was gonna say: I'm amazed that so many millions of people can tolerate its atrocious UI. Even now, the amount of notifications I get from the constant text channels across "servers" (which is such a misnomer for merely "communities") is so ridiculous that I ignore 99.9% of it.
Poverty almost certainly costs more than all this ecologically, socially, and financially. The suffering and stress of the unhoused spills over into the lives of others who interact with or observe them, increasing our collective societal stress levels, increasing hospital visits, pushing people to earlier deaths (especially, of course, among the ultra-poor), and leading to expenses involving their unplanned funerals and messier aftermaths as opposed to cleanly laid-out wills, lost/absent documentation, etc.
Poverty drives people to violence and crime when they feel unheard and ignored. What if that house could help people find some peace in their lives? Instead maybe they become the very ones who rob and wreck it out of desperation. Societies need to help all people to keep the peace.
A lot of these issues can be or begin to be solved by giving them small apartments like in Finland. Homelessness ultimately costs society more than the actual cost to home them, ironically.

It's crazy that you're being downvoted. I guess they avoid The Atlantic, etc. as well, despite the helpful info in such articles.
