Back when I was in school, there were at least 3 people in my grade ( of like 30 kids) that both wanted to become a doctor and had the grades to probably do it. Not a single one of them was able to afford the schooling.

Canada really needs to do more for potential medical students. Why is the most important industry gatekept by wealth?

Seriously, the only people who can 100% say if she is or isnt are actual natives.

A little bit off topic but I know plenty of white presenting people who have some native ancestry that know fuck all about native culture, Mostly because of the residential school fuckery. Many of them would like to learn more about the heritage that has basically been erased from their family’s identity but hold back because they dont want to get labeled as a faker or whatever the native version of a weeaboo is. A few have gotten their status cards and have started to get involved, but who does and doesn’t get their status seems random at times.

natropaths have licenses?

Its more economical to produce a low-value but high volume product as close to where its being used.

Were people thinking that their big bulky packs of toilet paper were being shipped by boat across the pacific from china? The shipping cost would wipe out any profits.

Honestly, my biggest worry/criticism is that there is no way to prevent these 99 homes from becoming 99 Airbnb’s.

Don’t think there is any way for them to prevent that though.

TBH the Wheel of Pain is low carbon emissions

srsly, the malls here are mostly empty except for a few larger clothing chains and an ungodly amount of phone stores.

Used to have a locally run craft store, musical instrument shop, a place that sold decent quality footwear that also did repairs (holy shit is it hard to find good everyday shoes that don’t fall apart after a season), there was a place that did custom frames for paintings and large photos that also sold local artwork. Hell it used to have a food court with a few non chain takeout places there and the only dairy queen in the entire town, but that all got torn out and replaced with a Rossys.

Sure none of those businesses were super vital for the community, but they are gone and nothing has replaced them really. Mall owners would rather half their building be empty than charge a sane amount.

“pulled pork” Seitan is probably my favorite fake meat, its got the right mouthfeel.

Haven’t been too satisfied with Tofu, its ok, but there’s no pretending its not bean cheese.

In season 4 of Game of Thrones, Arya was telling Sandor how the Mountain’s men killed her friend Lommy.

Sandor grumpily asks “What the fuck is a Lommy?” Which became a little bit of a meme.

“What the fuck is a Lemmy” is a spin off meme of that sort of.

Grew up in Newfoundland, always thought school lunches were some American tv thing like how every ‘struggling’ sitcom family being able to afford an apartment in the city/suburbs. Thought that people complaining about the quality of the free food they were given was some sort of running gag.

canned food just at or past the expiry date.

'the adequate wall of China"

The writers keep doing this shit.

The Berlin Wall arc just abruptly ended because they announced that East Germans could freely travel to the west and ‘conveniently’ forgot to mention there were still some regulations. Then the Border guards ‘conveniently’ said “fuck it” and let people pass without checking passports.

They built up the Epstein island arc like mad only to end it with him killing himself in prison and then never mention it again.

Im in Newfoundland.

Wait times in the emergency room aren’t too bad. Its very heavily triaged so if you go in with a major emergency you will basically be seen immediately, but if you go in with something minor you might have to wait a few hours, especially if there are any respiratory illnesses going around. Children and elderly patients struggling to breathe take priority over an otherwise healthy adult with a wound that just needs a few stitches.

Getting a family doctor can be difficult. There just aren’t enough to go around.

Seeing a specialist will usually involve a long wait list (a few weeks to a few months depending on what they specialize in), so its best to book an appointment as soon as you can. You may have to travel to St.Johns so there might be some travel expenses. Growing up I had to see an ENT in St.Johns every summer for a checkup, so we just turned the visit into a camping trip.

the canadians?

the grit really helps scrape away the snot though

Dwarf raspberry/dewberry. My pop used to call it ‘gumbo’ for some reason.

Its a tiny little raspberry plant that produces one berry per plant, so its hard to get it in any quantity.

The fruit itself is more juicy than a regular raspberry, and tastes more like fake raspberry flavored candy. Its always a treat to find these while hiking.

Let them think humanity is 99% buff oily badasses in speedos who will gladly fuck you up until their dying breath.

would love to see it done as a mockumentary mini series, like it already has the format built in!

Re arrange the room so your heaviest piece of furniture is near the door, like juuust enough clearance that the door can open. Then you can easily barricade it by placing something lighter in between the door and the heavy furniture, like a stool or chair.

I had to do this to keep my mom out of my room when I was 15.

If she escalates and removes your door, you can fully barricade the door with furniture, and if they remove the furniture from your room, drag in furniture from the hallways/kitchen if you feel malicious.

If they ever remove your bed, that is considered abuse in most places, and should be brought up with your school’s councilor or a trusted teacher, they are mandated reporters.
