Oh my God, that’s disgusting! Illegal streaming services online? Where? Where did they post those?

How the fresh fuck is this even a thing still? Even back in the 90’s I heard dudes making gags about “Uncle Ben Hot Rods”. You know. RICE IT UP!

GET IT? They’re shitty race cars made by a shitty race who only makes cheap stuff!

🤮

All good. I always try to assume good faith posting until proven otherwise.

Yep. That’s what I said. You must have misread my comment. We’re on the same page.

We’ve got our boosters scheduled for the week before school starts up.

We won’t be making the kids mask up again this year, though. Not because they don’t need to (they do), but because they’re old enough that bullying includes violence. Especially for a trans teenager.

Living in Hellworld is awesome!

Are you Albertan

Yes. I live in Hell, thank you for asking. Knocking on doors for the NDP is a nightmare here, but I do it, because it’s the least bad possible outcome.

or just shitting on things that could help you out of sheer anger and a desire to self-harm?

No. I’m being realistic. Why assume I’m angry about the government in bad faith? I have real material grievances: The current dental program doesn’t help us pay for one cent of my kid’s surgery. We’re going to need to resort to payday loans and pawning stuff to pay for it. That’s real anger about real stuff.

The Liberals will never follow through on rolling dental and pharmacare out without multiple layers of means testing. The NDP are going to force an early election they have no serious platform for, and will royally bungle their campaign. As is tradition.

Once the Conservatives are back in power in a year or two, the program will be cancelled. As is also tradition.

Sounds pretty Canadian to me. We have private healthcare in everything but name. I’m on the hook for a $2500 dental bill for my kid right now. It’s medically necessary. My insurance won’t cover it. We can’t pay it.

Meanwhile, the NDP are jacking themselves off over how they, "got dental and pharmacare for everyone¹!!!

¹ Does not apply if you have a job or a home. Until after the next election, when the program will be cancelled.
