also, and I know this is not the point, but knowing a few canadians IRL: their healthcare system kinda sucks. it's not transferable between provinces without a 3 month waiting period (and for short trips, for quebec), it doesn't cover most drugs, and then there's the "you should kill yourself" thing

would it shock you to learn that the “are you a socialist” quiz in newsweek is dumb as hell?

the midterms are approaching. it's time to pokemon go to hell

RANDOM POSTER WHOSE OPINION I HAVE NO REASON TO TRUST: A result like this in NV-03 would be seismic. That’s deep Blortles country. It was Vinkum +8 in ‘24 ME DURING ELECTION SEASON: totally. i just need to look at 9000 more of these

i'm thirteenth in line for school pickup. but someone left a gap behind the fourth car. watch this, losers! i hit the grok gamma epsilon maneuver button on the tablet, suffering severe whiplash under 6Gs of force as i land perfectly in someone's yard across the street, crushing their peonies

centrist critiques of m4a are usually like “but what if we fail to address these obvious pitfalls, what then?” and i would simply recommend addressing those

i am calling for a total and complete shutdown of marketing for the spider donut until we can figure out what the hell is going on

our system isn't perfect, but: 1. incorrect; you get covered by your previous province during the waiting period; 2. mostly wrong, provinces assist low-income people, many have insurance for prescriptions; 3. American BS about MAID that is a straight up lie
