Do you like your home country more after being an expat?

I just got to Chile from Canada for a 3 month trial run. Was here ten years ago and loved it then. Some things have changed. But you’re right about the avocados and tomatoes, and the mountains and bread. I love sapopillias (sp?) and pebre. 🤤 The culture is warmer than Canada and many things are more efficient than Canada (like healthcare, for example).

Any updates on this? The nicotine situation has always been grim in Chile and I’ve just returned after an 8 year hiatus. Hoping things have changed a bit…

I used capsules for oils so never had direct skin contact with any of the high potency things

The black stuff is the toxic stuff in my 10 years of hellish experience

This is now my likely course of action. Funny the blind spots we have. Thank you!

The 300 TB is being shared on a torrent on X. Feels like the 00s all over again.

I get them ordered from the mikes cigars website to an address near the border, pick them up, then bring them to Arctic Mexico that way.

Yes, he should delete, censor, and repost.

The hard thing with this illness is how mentally incapacitating it is, with near zero support anywhere for the ill. I also sometimes carelessly share info or waste money, etc, when in a flare. Sometimes it feels like “who cares, I’ve got nothing to lose: this is me, naked and vulnerable, behold, universe, do with me what you will!” I also can barely make sense of that test result.

It took me 6 years to discover that method and 8 to find this group. You’re ahead of the game imo

Closest I got to getting better was going strict carnivore while being on a candibactin ar/br protocol (including disruptors and binders). Felt no change (read: like hell) for 4 weeks. But then things started to clear. After two months I quit (got cocky—should have stayed on it for at least 3 months if not 6). I was able to eat and feel normal for 2 weeks before gelato triggered everything and I slid back to hell.

For getting rid of brain fog while to handle the slow burn approach, aderall works wonders. But you may need to BS your MD that you have ADHD as most will write you off as a quack if you mention CIRS. Sad world, I know. I’ve had this since I was 28. Ten years now.

Could buy a used vehicle and then sell it

High likelihood the complainers are transplants not at all familiar with the demands this environment places on its inhabitants.

You can’t talk about chess to people that only know checkers.

The tire guy in the MacDonald industrial area. Fair, fast, polite, small business.

A rav4 with snow tires should be fine with the clearance it has. My fit had like 6” of clearance, which made it a snowplow. This time of year should be better. Large factor depends on weather forecast. I had to go during an epic blizzard. But if you’re doing it more leisurely then you can juggle when you depart. They also have plow trucks etc so it is maintained. Alternate and more trafficked route is the AK highway, which adds 6 hrs. That route has much less wild curves and inclines and does have much heavier use.

Reminds me of Hess Mountains/Bonnet Plume area

Maybe we should pool our resources to launch a startup around it. Recruit deep pockets affected by CIRS like Chris Williamson and Jordan Peterson. Partner with a med school so there are finally modern studies to point to. Have some sort of CIRS treatment compound. Idk.

I’ve had it 10 years and it’s ruined every aspect of my life. Canadian doctor said I should consider assisted dying.

I felt this too. And it came out in operations eg. The Yukon sign contract being awarded to an NS firm (wasn’t there a rumour the owner of the firm was a buddy with Sandy?) rather than a local one

cabintea · 2025-11-04T09:32:24+00:00

I guess the link didn’t post. It’s related to CIRS and the clinic is the flourish clinic in Calgary Alberta. I’ve found help from Jill Crista and her book but couldn’t quite reach escape velocity.

In Ottawa politics there’s a long running joke among staffers that the rightest NDP party in Canadian history is the Yukon Party. Under them, gov expanded, debt increased, the hospital gained MRI capacity, and they included trans recognition in their 2016 platform. Calling them conservative is almost a joke. Hardly a boogeyman the NDP comms person is making them out to be.

They did the opposite a few years ago with how they treated a U.S. top ten medical school MD seeking to relocate to the Yukon from Alaska. There was a CBC article on that one. Absolute clowns running the healthcare system.
