This explains so freaking much about how everyone is always terrified of Canadian health care when it works decently well. (Perfect? No!) But so many of their problems in accessing specialists are identical to ours. (Most common argument I hear.)

And it was just so much easier getting on antidepressants and switching up my birth control methods while I was in Canada than if I had tried the same in the US.

I want to test this out. Let's see how it goes. Today I went skiing and I have a pet rabbit.

Holy shit. I expected at least one typo

As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked

I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.

Nurses deal with criminals, mentally ill, homeless, and people resisting their help for 12 hours a shift on weekdays, weekends, and nights. They don't go crazy on people.

Hi all -

I need reassurance that having 60-80k in cash isn't wild if we plan to buy/look at buying a home in the next 2-3 years. We're in a DINK lifestyle in a LCOL area and are easily saving $2k+ towards specifically a down payment per month.

Currently: 8k is in a Vanguard account and has been invested in index funds for about 2-3 years now 10k is in treasury funds 5k is abroad in a high interest account that's locked for about another year from a grandparents inheritance 5k is in a CD making ~5% APY

I'm thinking that as we start building up more I'll be trying to keep opening 3-12 month CDs on a regular basis as long as rates stay at 5%

But I'm super risk tolerant and part of me sees all the cash laying around as a waste when I could add to the Vanguard account with more stocks. Mostly because until now I haven't had a real timeline for buying and it always seemed so far in the future that keeping it in stocks made sense.

Can someone help me think through what I'm giving up with both options? 5% isn't bad for now but I don't think rates are going to stay so high forever either.

If you say guns kill people one more time, I will shoot you with a gun, and you will, coincidentally, die.

Which is why we need ranked choice voting so we steal power away from this bipartisan system that robs us of our actual choice.

The issues and challenges people care most about change with time. Sometimes slowly.

So I was thinking this same thing until I watched a Kurz Gesagt video on YouTube about the effects of unbalanced populations. They pointed out that by the time our population naturally starts decreasing we'll already be dealing with the worst consequences made worse by an aging population that cares more about maintaining the status quo than the innovation that a younger population would encourage. Grain of salt obviously... But now I'm trying to rethink how I see the issue of maintaining stability for ourselves and descendants while decreasing our strain on the system.

I don't know where I was going with this.
