  • Just think, genetically we are the same. Our biology has not caught up to the modern world we have constructed.

  • They do! But the oil separates and you have to stir it first. And it needs to be refrigerated after opening.

    Convenience, whether it's for the producer or consumer, got us again.

  • ...it is?

  • Nope, dental, eyes, and prescriptions, etc. are excluded 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: which is admittedly still better than south of the border, but weak compared to east of the Atlantic

  • Well presumably everyone in Canada has good insurance.

    Oh boy.

    No.

    The biggest grocery stores (oligopolies) are notorious for not giving employees 40h/wk specifically so they don't need to include health benefits. And that's just one example.

    Edit: nearly half of. Canadians are living paycheque-to-paycheque

  • Are you European?

  • "I'm lucky enough to even have an above-average length chain"

  • If you knew the details it might not be as crazy as it sounds... probably not a million but many thousands I'm sure.

    I'm sure it was awful and I don't mean to demimish that in any way. But again, fundamentally no matter the details it's not something I can truly fathom. No one of any status in my country would accrue millions in medical debt.

    I'm Canadian, our healthcare is flawed in many ways and only looks good when compared to the states'. But even ours, with medications, eyes, dentistry, etc. being excluded from free healthcare, that's ludicrous.

    Again, not to invalidate what you've been through, but to reiterate: it didn't all have to be that way.

    Sorry, this is a sensitive subject and don't mean to get intro it this much. I just want you and others to know this isn't natural or even common

  • So many countries do it better than us. America has set the bar so low that even our middling efforts look amazing in comparison.

    This is true for so many things

  • People hate this, and I didn't personally bother, but I don't mind the idea. It literally decreases the platforms value,even if only a little.

  • $1,000,000 of medical care.

    That is something I can't conceive of and I'm not alone.

    Big numbers are sometimes big for no reason and elimantiong middlemen makes it go down.

    Edit: I'm sorry you went through whatever it was regardless.

  • If we were discussing this on a different instance I could give you better options.

  • From what I remember that's apt.

  • How did she adjust to her newfound powers?

  • That's context that would have helped initially. I do apologise for my snark however.

  • They tried that with Google Wave.
