Generally in favour of that notion.
But I also don’t think being able to communicate ideas visually should be strictly in the domain of people who can draw.
I can’t draw AND Ii don’t have anything worth saying so it isn’t really an issue for me, personally. I just slap impact font on a carefully selected meme template, the way God intended.
Edit: Behold
I imagine a mix of the already diminished size of extended family units, and the liability implications if it’s outside your own family unit.
You’re essentially just describing an unlicensed daycare if it’s not a family member, and those exist.
That’s the goal. Maybe I’m in an exceptional area, but I’m not aware of any parents who are effectively paying $10/day unless their income is low enough to trigger additional benefits.
Still HUGE improvement over the last few years though. I think we had an option for 18$/day if we packed our kid a lunch. Our daycare would feed them for an additional 3$/day. I think overall average care costs have practically halved in the last few years so even if it’s not perfectly universal and perfectly $10, it’s HELLA better. Strong improvement. Honestly a MAJOR factor in trying to figure out the feasibility of having more kids for us.
It’s a reference to a twitch emote thats making the same face as that one egg
Easy mistake to make. Also words can not describe my admiration and respect for someone who can leave a comment like this up with a humble edit.
I might double check your math if we split the cheque, but unlike 99% of the people on the internet, I already can tell that I would WANT to have a supper with you.
Great article!
My one critique would be with when FI is making a comparison between the US on some metric (eg, per capita income 2022)… The argument of “keep in mind Canada was enduring a global pandemic at that time” isn’t a very sound counter-point. It was a global pandemic. If you want to say it depressed that number for Canada you have to explain why it didn’t depress that number in the USA.
The rest are pretty good. The FI is a fucking joke.
I’m torn if there should be a “voting day” stat at some point during early voting, or to directly make election day a stat.
I voted Monday. Love advanced voting. Didn’t have to even wait in any line for even a single second. The dude there said it never was “busy”, but always “steady”.
You can be upset about 2 things: where things are, and where things are going.
It’s become very fashionable to ignore a trajectory. “Build 3 more prisons in El Salvador”.
The issue isn’t that at this moment I can opt-out. The issue is that the infrastructure inevitably demands usage.
If you’re not upset you’re a collaborator.
Forget the “bloat”. Windows has an advertisements engine. I’m not talking about some stupid OEM bullshit bundled thing… I’m saying the operating system itself.
My OS (that I fucking paid for, no less) shouldn’t be piping me advertisements and it sure as shit shouldn’t be harvesting screenshots to train an AI model.
now that is a well-boiled frog
Once dated a girl who’s family who had season passes to Disney.
Neither I nor they even live in the USA.
Certain jellyfish are thought to have this property.
It was common a few generations back to have your teeth pulled and be fitted for dentures in your 30s.
The end of your natural life is always going to be gnarly.
There is a distinct concept between a “life span” and a “health span”.
Nobody denies that there is a point in time that your health fails to the point where additional life comes with diminished returns. This is where right to die legislation becomes very important.
But, speaking in broad general statistical generalities, both lifespan and health span have been increasing. The gap has always existed. In short: people have always lived too long, as you put it.
These would be perfect for it.
Also it was one an extremely early adopter of using websites for books. It was such a wholesome time on the internet. You could spend like an hour downloading a 3 second WAV file where the author welcomed you to the website. Blew my fucking mind.
This is Brian Jaques saying “Welcome, to Redwall Abby, on the internet”
In false prophets, were they in federation space? In civilization did the federation exist?
If they’re saying their sexual relationship is strictly contingent on having their housing paid for by that person… They’re 0 steps away.
No judgement. Sex work is work. But that’s what the transaction here is.
On the flip side, anything worth doing is worth doing imperfectly.
100% of the population boycotting at 50% efficacy is much better than 1% of the population doing it PERFECTLY.
Never ever ever alienate or talk down to (or about) people who are acting in a way that is directionally correct, even if it doesn’t meet your personal standard.
Honestly, most provincial conservative parties DO NOT want a conservative federal government.
They have no material besides “liberals in Ottawa bad”. No boogeyman, no material.
