General Suburban Updates and Rumours

It's unproductive.

Pointing out that something is doable when somebody says "who wants to do that" or otherwise claims it is impossible is not blaming people for making decisions that work best for them.

Notice that I never say to Ac3r they they couldn't or shouldn't continue shopping at a hypermarket. All I said was that it is possible to get groceries by bike, contrary to their claim that it is not possible.

You claimed that all the stores I listed were specialty shops and reiterated the idea that one must go to multiple store in one trip. I pointed out that it was incorrect to say that those stores were not specialty stores, using the example of the wide variety of what can be found as hasty Market. When you said "Before Marché Leo's…" I pointed out that New City was a full on supermarket.

Again, notice that I never told you you couldn't shop wherever you wanted. All I did was point out the incorrect claim about specialty shops and highlight two specific examples, one being full-on supermarket.

To me, "unproductive" is making blanket claims like Ac3r did, or mischaracterising the shops available to make it seem like the variety is not there like you did.

If y'all don't like having those things called out, don't do 'em.
