@Shan_Specter Lol it's shielded me from looking at the markets these days.

@theEconBlog most people dont realize how accessibility dependent the digital world actually is until something forces them to

@Investmentkage You sure do have many coworkers and know all their personal details too! 🤔

I was sitting in the ER yesterday, beside a larger lady. She took out some salty snacks like chips to eat and was breathing heavily while eating.
I later overheard her telling the nurse she had breathing issues for a while and some other health issues.
I know there are people who have poor regular eating habits, but this seems next level. I enjoy snacks too, but if I'm sick I'd avoid them like the plague.
There seems to be a good amount of people who legitimately do not understand how bad processed foods are for you. I think they think that any food is food, and as long as it's not immediately harming you then it's ok.

@SillyWorkMedia Hopefully we don't get cancer or anything life threatening though.

@theEconBlog The Canadian health system is good if you are diagnosed with a serious or life-threatening sickness or cancer.
Anything else, you'll be at the bottom of the waiting list.

I took my first sick day ever today to spend the day at the ER.
Between Canada's long wait times and US's exorbitant prices, I'm still back and forth on which one's worse.
It's true we pay for it in taxes in Canada, but lets not pretend how healthcare isn't the biggest US government expenditure too.
And while wait times sucks, worrying about how many thousands of dollars you're going to pay out while in the hospital sucks too, even if you saved and preplanned for it.

@GrindeOptions Mostly I think. Israel is more than happy to go scorched earth on Iran while the US still wants to maintain the global supply chain.

Healthcare is one thing I do agree to have public funding. Some individual costs would go a long way to prevent abuse from freeloaders. It is one of those things that you don't just 'choose' to buy, unfortunate things sometimes happen. But the fraudsters and abusers in the system are the ones that really ruin it for everyone.

@theEconBlog This is why I’m glad I didn’t live in a place with free healthcare and why I find free healthcare to be ridiculous
Because all that happens is freeloaders make the service worse for the average person

@gatorgar People want to feel like they are independent like it's some kind of moral good.

@cixelsyd00 @RTNToronto I'd still rather face imprisonment than face risking me or my family dead.

@RTNToronto Unfortuante for the homeowner, he's likely to face charges and investigations, which (even if eventually dropped) amount to penalizing self-defense.

If more adult kids stayed at home living with their parents, housing prices will come down. One of the largest drivers of housing and rental demand is that everyone wants their own place to themselves.
Kevin Sorbo@ksorbs
The idea that parents have to kick their children out at 18 is a new one and very American. Families for all of history lived close-by and worked together to survive. If your kids are contributing to the household and becoming better versions of themselves, then why kick them out? The world is cruel, and Americans more and more struggle to buy houses or even afford rent. Help your children

@TansuYegen Looks like robots prefer to be Tiktok dancers rather than minimum wage servers too.

First it's DLSS 5.
Then it's upgraded to look exactly like real life.
Then it gets adapted to VR.
Then in game sensory is developed.
Then we figure out how to block out of game sensory and memory while in game.
