This reminds me of my early shopping days using EBay, where it wasn’t uncommon for sellers to under-price their products so they show up near the top of the price (cheapest-most expensive) sort pile, and then charge an outrageous amount in shipping.
I’ve found that almost always (at the time), that the seller offering free or low cost shipping was usually cheaper.
I’ve been lurking, but it’s nice seeing this post every Friday. Thank you
You just leaked the design of the next-generation of Boeing 737s
So true. High school (and even elementary and middle school) was so bad from the bullying I’ve received, with the only “friends” using me to copy my homework.
While I’ve only been seldom-homeless, I feel like it was only bad because some people never grew out of the schoolyard mentality, but it still hurts not having anyone have my back, or having anyone to go to since running away from home at 16.
I just hope I never experience prison.
I feel like the needs-testing should be removed as well, and everyone should be entitled to receive dental care just like everyone can with medical.
Insurers would just have to adjust their offerings, and employers can either elect to enhance employee insurance coverage or redirect the difference to employees paycheques.
Really, there’s nothing but benefits to having dental rolled into Medicare except for the current run of conservative premiers refusing to play ball with the federal government because the plan actually helps people.
This is great! Now hopefully the dental care rollout finishes without a hitch next year for the remaining group of 18-64 year olds.
Having been in a situation where I got into an accident and had to lose a tooth because I didn’t have money to get it fixed (no insurance either), it sucked pretty hard and I still had to save up to get the tooth removed while being in constant pain.
Microsoft Teams is sorta like the all grown up version of MSN, with the colour drained from it and “fun” features out of the box feeling dead on the inside
This looks great, but I feel like the trees might become a problem to the adjacent buildings when they mature, unless they’re the type of trees that only grow tall and skinny?
Raisins inside empanadas should be a sin- I don’t like having a sweet surprise in what should be a mouthwatering savoury meal
In North America, the best that can be done is a license suspension, between a few months or maybe a year or two in extreme cases. Even that doesn’t stop people from driving though.
I had the lovely combo of getting mocked and ridiculed by both “friends” and “family” for sharing my tastes and interests, and now I struggle to share them with people and in spaces that seem safe, but my stupid fear and anxiety keeps me from reaching out 😅
I’ve grown up with people around me constantly telling and shaming me for doing things wrong or only wanting to half-ass it, even if I just wanted to try something new.
It’s hard getting out of that mindset, especially since its now just me psyching myself out mentally, but it helped seeing this post
