It’s wise to make “friends”

It’s a joke, but snap is genuinely bad (and any other container runtime sucks too, but snap is the worst one)

I didn’t say that doing drugs is pointless. Assisting homeless people buying drugs IS, because it does the opposite of helping to get out of that situation, which is the point.

help this person temporarily alleviate a problem they have

And you mean drinking fucking alcohol lmao. Yeah it’s gonna made them feel better for a minute, sure, lol. And fuck them up even worse after that. It’s like giving drugs to drug addicts, wtf.

in ways that you deem wholesome, that’s patronising.

No onre said “wholesome”. If so, trying to help honeless people is “patronozing” then generally. Goverment is “partonizing”. Organizations that want to help them are “patronizing”.

It’s not evil, it’s pointless

That’s the point of the original comment and you are bullshitting “how dare you decide what they buy!”. They own the money and they decide that they won’t spend money to improve a homeless person life if it won’t improve it.

It just won’t help them improve their lifes
