Voting was already too much effort to save democracy.

VoxeLibre is a game that can be installed in Luanti engine. It will make sense once you open Luanti since the first thing it prompts you to do is install a game from its game library. VoxeLibre is one of the first listed.

Minetest, which is apparently now Luanti? I guess I missed the memo.

Voxel based game engine that has a very excellent Minecraft clone called (drum roll)

~~Mineclone~~ (EDIT) : VoxeLibre, guess i missed that memo too.

concerns anti-abortion state laws could allow phone searches for menstrual data

If the police search your phone then that would not protect you.

Every cycle is portrayed as vitally important with a platform of We Suck Less

Not this time. GQP actively campaigned for all the worst policies and actively making things worse and people still voted for it.

Could be good for Canada in the long run if educated workers, doctors, nurses, professors, researchers etc decide to move north.

I guess there are many more deeply racist and sexist people than I wish to believe.

This. I knew that there was a great deal of racism and misogyny in the USA but the extent of it is horrifying. Having lived almost my whole life there in various states, it still took me by surprise. I dont understand it and never will. Nor do I understand how people can fall for simplistic rhetoric and scapegoating. But clearly it works.

I am going to go back to MH for email too.

exactly. Houses in big cities are not expensive because they are better than houses in the bush. The house isnt worth shit, in fact burning it down might make the property more valuable. The land is what has value.

 

My family and I moved from the US to Canada in the summer of 2023 and last week was the first time I had to make use my Services Card. I went to the ER in excruciating pain, had blood and urine labs done, a shot of pain killers then waited around (a long time) for a CT scan. The doctor said it might be a new record, but I had been bumped a few times by suspected stroke patients that came in, so totally understandable. Several hours later with a prescription slip in hand I exited the hospital. Easy as pie.

For anyone who has never had the displeasure of experiencing an American hospital you can not understand how much simpler and less stressful and cheap the Canadian system is. I dont know what it would have cost me in the USA, probably whatever my insurance deductible was, but it certainly was not $0. That state of not knowing what all this is going to cost you, and how you will afford it, makes an already awful experience even worse. Not being harassed for money on the way out, never once discussing the cost of something with the DR was truly eye opening.

TL:DR Thanks BC Health. You are not perfect but you are amazing. Anyone promoting American style health care here in Canada has either never experienced that gong show or is independently wealthy enough not to have to think about the costs.

(kidney stone for anyone who is curious. it was horrible)
