Doubt that. Falling like this happens to me every winter, it’s not that bad, it just hurts for a week or two after that.

Bad take imo. You don’t control any of that, but you do control how financially educated you are, and despite the “greedy landlords” it can still make a huge difference. There are still a LOT of people who buy basic items on payment plans, for example.

I like Satisfactory but it’s so much more shallow than factorio, especially when mods get involved. It’s also poorly optimized (at least compared to factorio, which I don’t think any game has come close to in that regard). It’s a fun game to play once or twice, or for people who don’t have much time to sink into it, but it gets boring pretty quickly imo. Factorio on the other hand has some of it’s most popular mods take 100+ hours to complete.

Of course I agree a long wait time for treatment is better than no treatment at all. But the common concern here I hear from most people around me is that it’s generally much slower (at least in Quebec) than in other countries with such healthcare (eg. Scandinavian countries). How much of that is just a case of “the grass is greener on the other side”, I do not know.

I’ve been fortunate enough to not require healthcare so far, though I’m not sure how it will go when I need it. The population is getting older, and older people generally need more healthcare. That’s less health workers for more sick people and less workers paying for more healthcare.

Might depend where you live. Here in Quebec, I know someone who could either get his cancer cured in 2+ years here (which would have been too late, but technically free or almost free), or instantly in the US but for 200k, so he raised money and got it cured in the US.

Could be that this isn’t the same in other parts of Canada, but at least in Quebec, this kind of story is very common. At a smaller scale, one would pay to go to the private sector here instead.

From what I’ve heard, it wasn’t released, they were uploaded and it’s url kept private. Imo they probably did that to send it to a few highly ranked people so they could check if they agreed with the censorship before releasing them. However, the URL for those to-be-released files were easily guessed based on the pattern of the previously already public ones.

here it’s more like this:

don’t own a car no store in reach ??? starve

Most people don’t have a clue. I remember mentionning the word byzantine at the dinner table when I was a teenager and was told “you play too many games and read too many books, this is reality, there’s no such thing as a byzantine”.

When I showed them the wikipedia page about it, “it’s not because it’s on the internet that it’s true”. Yet here we are, in 2024, where they are glued to facebook believing some of the wildest things.

It’s probably just your tax pennies unfortunately, your tax dollars are still going to the army and such.

Pretty sure if it just “accidentally hit your dick”, you can just quickly wash it off without having to be aftraid of any infections. If you were pounding that chicken for a half hour on the other hand…

I’m reading this at night though. Think of all the poor souls that will get flashbanged in the next few hours.

I assume they wrote it as 5000 and it got changed to 5E3 by the minifier as it saves a byte?
