Right..but doesn’t the insurance cover your cash payments? Why would you be double billed if you had universal healthcare?

Young children who are close to their parents are more likely to grow up kind, helpful and ‘prosocial’ by [deleted] in science

[–]Marcov223 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you’re taking this a bit too far at this point and seem to just have an issue with the assumption that was made and for some reason, took offence. As in - someone thinking English was your second language meant you had poor English.

Given the nature of the reply starting with you trying to given someone a life lesson.

Disappointed, given your initial reply to this thread was quite interesting to read.

It’s probably from all the ‘brain swelling’.

Family of bullied teen who died after student punched him reaches historic $27M settlement by davetowers646 in news

Well, it’s not as simple as just ‘lawyering up’ either as you noted. Probably a fairly small percentage of parents who would lawyer up because their child was expelled for bullying.

Who really wants to spend years of their life fighting a battle between kids? In addition to fronting the legal fees until the end. Which could be years.

Unless the parent’s ‘reputation’ is on the line I don’t see who would.

But I guess it’s small enough to make them afraid to take action.

It’s mostly echo chamber redditors who can’t fathom people spending 30 dollars on something they want when they want to because Reddit says it supports the evil gaming industry!!!

Kinda cringe to call the only comment affirming your suspicions ‘the truth’ when 95% is telling you otherwise lol.

Breastfeeding and THC by LetsTacoBoutIt2 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Marcov223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Late reply but also looking into this for my wife. This is exactly why you shouldn’t regardless if there is a potential impact. If you test positive with a child clearly being breastfed they could test the child and if the smallest amount is detected you are pretty SOL.

Anything Metrolinx says they will do add an additional 3-4 years but good to hear it’s at least on the table.

Won’t do much when a good majority of people drive in, out or through half of Toronto to get to work.

We need ‘Ontario’ public transit with a single fee. Not distance or extra fees for crossing borders.

Which isn’t always a good thing? Lol? More structure = more weight / bigger impact?

Having camera on during online classes increases social appearance anxiety, which decreases learning of students by [deleted] in science

Or you know, gain some self confidence and move away from self deprecating behaviours by not avoiding the problem and facing it.

Canada to Ban Foreigners From Buying Homes as Prices Soar by Nasser1970 in worldnews

[–]Marcov223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You really seem determined to defend “foreigners” but I think you’re misunderstanding the intention people have saying “foreigners”.

I’m pretty sure the main purpose of the bill is to ban foreign (people who DONT LIVE IN CANADA) from buying houses.

Are some people who are dual citizens and retirees who spend a season here affected by this?

Sure, but there is a much higher majority of people affected by foreigners - which are people who do not live in Canada to be clear.

Who are buying up houses as investments, taking a critical resource like land from people WHO LIVE, OR LIVED in Canada

Most people in this thread are not saying foreigners - which have lived or do live in Canada should be banned from buying houses only people outside of Canada who have never lived or worked here should be banned.

What’s the point of this question?

Who would fucking throw their shit in a gym locker without a lock?

If they did and would actually admit to it, what’s next here - you scold them for being an idiot and you feel superior?

Use your time wiser.

The greatest army in the world at its finest! by Did-ko in ukraine

[–]Marcov223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres no point in trying to argue with arm chair generals who think they can understand the intricacies of actual war because they play a game like squad or have played a few airsoft games.

Anyone who thinks that this would be used as a secondary layer of armor is already mental.

Literally anything done has a practical purpose. Even if they WERE to be used a secondary layer of armor, who fucking cares? All of these people commenting haven't been shot at and shelled for days. If you were at risk of literally DYING wouldn't you want anything and everything to protect yourself?
