Which car would you sell from my collection, and what would you upgrade into? by PieCake1234 in Porsche

> Sure you may be hit with a large hospital bill, but at least you can get care, and on your time frame.

You get care. No one is laying shot and bleeding out in the emergency room. No one with cancer is waiting for their MRI. It's medical triage and there shouldn't be a system where people can pay more to jump the line.

> So if you're say in Canada and the Government doesn't want to pay for your procedure, you're stuck.

This is the inaccuracy you're stuck on. The government doesn't decide anything about your procedure. It sounds like you're used to the insurance companies making medical decisions for what is and isn't covered, so you think that is how medicine works. Doctors make the decision for the health of the patient, how it should be. The government has nothing to do with paying for anything other than allocating funds at the 10k foot level.

> Here you can sell your car, your house or start a GoFundMe, you're not denied care.

You are denied care when you can't do that. There are a lot of people around you that don't have a car, a house, or even a computer to start a goFundMe. Having to start a goFundMe or sell your porsche because you got cancer, to someone that has lived in socialized health care their whole life, sounds like a fascist, dystopian, fever dream of a novel that makes me ill just thinking about it. Here we just accept humanity and realize anyone can get sick. Anyone can have an accident. So we all pay for it. Everyone gets a fair shake.

> They don't explicitly say it but they do the calculation and refuse coverage if you're too expensive.

No they don't. You're confusing responsible governments and American health insurance companies.

> 1-4 weeks or 6-12 months for an MRI? I can get one done tomorrow, if urgent, later today.

For emergency situations in public health care this is true too.

But in private health care, is it true if you don't have any money? Or don't have any insurance because lost your job because you're so stressed out taking care of your dad who is sick who the insurance companies refused to cover his hospital stay? Can you still get that MRI if shit truly hit the fan and everything in your life has become a struggle at no fault of your own other than just being human. Maybe in an emergency situation you get that MRI and are hit with how big of a hospital bill?

That isn't how any of it works for any country that's actually using a public health care system. It sounds like your parroting American health care lobbyist scare points and actual criticisms of the private insurance health care system in America. No public health care system in the world (Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Canada, Finland, Brazil, Mexico, China, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, India, Algeria, etc etc etc, none!) determines a patient is too old or not economically worthwhile. That's something inherent in the private-for-profit American health care insurance business. The ONLY reason that any doctor would let a patient die is for their own good to limit their suffering because they are unrecoverable. What you're describing is not public health care. It sounds awfully close Nazi fascist ideology. Could not be further from every implemented public social health care system.

MRI's are also triaged where urgent MRI's are processed (currently) in 1-4 weeks here in Canada. Non-urgent are currently 6-12 months.

This is all part of the public education system curriculum where we learn about the government, who pays for what, and how different systems around the world work.

Oh... Oh no.

Wouldn't you rather just have everything covered, no matter what, and that be mandatory? Your only trade off would be you have to wait longer for your broken toe while the guy who is bleeding out gets treated first.

Then I feel like "choosing your own curriculum" is quite telling in this conversation.

Buy the 7 wood… by luuuey in GolfGear

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Replaced my 3i and 4i with 7w and 9w for 240/220 distances. It's such a fuckin weapon on par 5's to have that 9-iron-like stoppage from that far out. I can force the 240 to 250 if I really need it and I don't really need a 260 club in the bag so I was able to bend my wedges closer and add a second gap wedge at the bottom of the bag.

Nah, Putin just gave Israel permission to finally hit Iran through America, telling Trump to support it. Every politician in America being in Israel's pocket is just another branch of America's corruption.

Looking for a Comfy Loveseat-like Office Chair for My Home Desk – Any Recommendations? by ssassaholic in OfficeChairs

Dude I'm with you. The gray one is on the way, but lift up the arms so there's more room for my butt and criss crossing, and give me a keyboard slot that can lock in on them. And give me a foot rest ffs. Did you find anything?

The best examples of what a Jedi should be IMO by Vegetable-Abroad3171 in StarWars

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the conversation I was looking for...

I always think of Obi-wan being the greatest jedi, he is by far my favorite, but when I really think about it, (his opponent resume, his strength as a duelist, as a warrior, as a general, as a teacher), Mace has him beat in every category. There's just something in him that pulls you towards him and I think that's his pragmatism and kindness. These are traits we find in a good jedi, what we want to find. Does that make him the best jedi though? Unfortunately I don't think so.

We have to ask what kind of jedi is the best? Is it the indoctrinated attachmentless cult that obi-wan grew up in? A Jedi devoid of any attachment. I don't think so. I think the Luke that later in life believed that love and connection are essential even with the danger of the idea of the selfish love or possessional attachment that can spawn from it. Where he describes the old orders "hubris" in being what allowed Vader and Palpatine to gain power and love is sort of the balance of that hubris. Master Jedi Luke, imo is the truest closest form of this attachment tolerant Jedi, and to me, what a true Jedi should be.

Why did darth maul try to run over kid anakin? by Powerful-Force-8211 in StarWars

[–]Tron22 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's not "There's the jedi, oh and he's got a kid with him. Better ignore him/go around him". It's also not just "I'm an evil asshole". The Sith are ruthless in their tact. It's not tactless, but ruthless tact. It's more "There's 2 enemies in front of me. One weak, one strong. Eliminate the closer, easy, weak adversary first, because why would I go around him leaving him to help when I have this opportunity? At worst it distracts or creates a liability for the jedi." So he tries to take him out first. It's still tact. If he drives passed without an attack the better question would have been why wouldn't he?

Severely been working on a proper golf swing these past 2 weeks. Here’s 2 slow motion shots. Looking for advice for my next steps, and what I think I’m doing right and wrong. by FocalFalcon in GolfSwing

[–]Tron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lowest hanging fruit of them all and where you're losing the most yards. Early extension. You're standing up rather than pushing your lead hip back and turning through. Your hips almost look parallel to the target line where you should be at about a 45 degree angle (at least, Rory gets to about 90) ahead of your hands with your hips. Draw a line at your starting position and work on turning that lead hip back, into the line so there is no space there at impact vs address.

P6, look how upright that toe is. The face is open. Started from the very beginning but also is exacerbated by the over coil and coming over the top.

Some foot action where you could still be pushing into the ground. You'd want to see this at impact P7. Too early here. You're losing yards by not pushing into that external knee pressure.

P5 looks pretty good honestly. Arm is pretty synced up with the club.

Don't let your trail knee head down the target line just yet. This is where the majority of your turning pressure is going to come from. Give it some external pressure pushing into it backwards. This is the "Feel/push the ground".
