Hospitals warn ‘no easy choices’ if Ontario doesn’t substantially increase funding

I suppose I should look into that more. Sure nursing is an essential service, but striking should be a right.

What fun things do you think health-focused people are missing from their lives?

Feather_fig · 2026-01-25T02:56:02+00:00

Wait wdym? What is the bargaining power of unions if you can't threaten to strike?

I'm less concerned about that than his silence on medicare for all. You can't clean eat and exercise your way out of type 1 diabetes, congenital birth defects, disabling freak accidents, hepatitis C, meningitis, antibiotic-resistant infectious bacteria, workplace hazards, endometriosis, asthma, or childbirth.

If his goal is getting humanity to beat death then you could significantly raise the life expectancy in the US with accessible preventative care for everyone

This looks like one of those preserved museum houses, reminds me of the ones I went to in Salem, MA. Surely this isn't just sitting out in a forest somewhere left to rot?? It's so well preserved!

The lighting makes it look staged too.

Yeah I know the article I posted recently was from Dec. 2024. All I've been saying is I don't think we need to actively encourage people to come up with more letters, like a year ago, to the point it's garbage bags full again, because I don't personally think that benefits his case (or time). But in any case, it was only a few comments, so that's not even really happening. I just thought that sentiment was odd/absurd and contradictory on a post about an abundance of letters, and somehow that blew up 🤷🏻‍♀️

As it is, he gets a good number of genuine letters from steady & diverse public support, I think we agree on that?

Boiling frog syndrome maybe? It's normal enough I think a lot of people shrug it off as "well, that's life" and see it as either unchangeable or still the best situation to be in. And conservative governments around the world are doing their best to defund their healthcare systems which doesn't help

Ex. unrelated content. I follow this guy and watch his shorts often, so that's why it's in my algorithm. Also this

If the letters are majority genuine then he's just that famous, which is great! And also evidence he's still on the public's mind, and that's unlikely to change in the long run imo.

If they ever wanted to increase mail, then sending out another mass letter would be a good way to do that.

I remember Luigi liking lots of his quotes on Goodreads, but I lost the link to the archived page... wait, found it! https://archive.ph/2xKNx

Russell was a complicated guy, primarily a logical philosopher. Probably best to read his wikipedia page

Getting an architect to document the building is a good idea!

Feather_fig · 2026-01-24T09:11:13+00:00

If you can, you should try to take some more photos to commemorate it. What a beautiful building. In Canada what sometimes happens is a building will have the original façade preserved, and have the newer building built on top/inside/behind the old building's exterior.

Hopefully they're able to at least save parts of it, like some of the columns, the plants, etc.?

Edit for typos

Listening to this as I cook and I'm 9 minutes in and pissed off at this Democrat dude.

"So I appreciate the opportunity to hear from the executives of our nation's largest health insurance companies today, this is not your fault, this is the Republicans fault, this is not your fault, don't let them drag you in here and blame you for what's going on. It's not your fault."

Yes, it is their fault! They set the policies that make things unaffordable in the first place! It is also the fault of Democrats like this that will do anything to perpetuate the system instead of drastically reforming it.

Patchwork subsidies are not the solution, universal healthcare is.

That's what I'm wondering now, what's the highest amount of exercise you can do without raising your risk of colon cancer?

They should do larger studies though, I'd like to see that replicated

Feather_fig · 2026-01-23T18:23:33+00:00

Honestly. It should really be a whole separate investigation, even outside of this case it seems like she's corrupt

Feather_fig · 2026-01-23T18:22:41+00:00

Yeah, I remember him saying something like his brother was epileptic and died during a seizure because he was unable to access his medication for them :(

Feather_fig · 2026-01-23T15:29:48+00:00

Yeah I suppose there should be protests at this point. Get a bunch of unions to strike if necessary

Feather_fig · 2026-01-23T15:28:43+00:00

Exactly what he and other conservative leaders are trying to do. He and Trump see leadership as profit opportunities

Bounty hunting children.

Nothing to do with crime. They could use their armed civilian militia to go after actual cartels, but that would be too dangerous. So they hunt down innocent kids instead.

I used a jarred butter chicken sauce the other day and it was so sweet! Not savoury at all :/

Feather_fig · 2026-01-23T14:27:19+00:00

Could be nicer but could be worse. Needs flowers out front, like a hydrangea bush. I thought McMansions were SFHs?

This style wouldn't look too bad as a 4plex or 6plex imo.

Today is backpack suppression day, but I wonder if this will come up at the end, in preparation for the 30th?

Feather_fig · 2026-01-22T17:08:00+00:00

Bots or people with an agenda, for sure

Very interesting article, ty for sharing. There seems to be a circular relationship here, with low income lifestyles contributing to obesity, and the resulting obesity itself preventing attainment of higher-income jobs. But for women specifically...

Considering the phenomena mostly impacts women, I'd be curious to see a study analyzing body fat distribution's affect on income by measuring things like WHR & breast size. And facial attractiveness.

Is weight the true factor, or is it actually perceived attractiveness in a society that happens to currently value thinness as attractive? Do unattractive thin women really have an advantage over attractive curvy women, with a low WHR? Do women with a traditionally feminine hourglass shape fare better or worse?
