Yeah I don't get why they felt the need to bring up spez being short (is that what they were getting at?) Seems childish. Who cares if he's not tall? What's that have to do with this..
He shouldn't have to pretend to be part of a minority group in order to be treated for something.
Cancer and other life saving drugs in Canada can still be very expensive, we don't have universal drug coverage in Ontario. You can get coverage if your income is below a certain threshold (ie you are very poor) but if you don't have drug insurance here you are still fucked and can go into debt trying to stay alive or not suffer. It's better than America but it's not all sunshine and rainbows up here either.
That used to be one of my favourite shows! That and Beasties. I completely forget how Reboot ended the series though.
And Electrovagrant is right, there was a second show that got made but it wasn't watchable. It didn't seem at all related really, just shared the same name.
Its honestly kind of disgusting that you are accusing a victim of PTSD of lying, invalidating their mental suffering and what they've been through simply because they hold a different perspective on something from you. You should be ashamed of yourself.
There is being considerate of other's life experiences and then there is being unreasonable. There's so many things that can trigger PTSD in people, are you suggesting we stop doing anything that may trigger someone's trauma? Some people get triggers from benign things (my mother used to suffer traumatic flashbacks from certain smells such as wet mud, I get panic attacks if someone comes up behind me and touches me, I've met someone who gets triggered by cars backfiring or balloons popping). The point is that fireworks, mud, people touching you, and backfiring cars are a part of normal life. There are a TONNE of possible triggers, we couldn't possibly avoid every one of them for every sufferer out there. It isn't up to the rest of the world to change their lives to revolve around us and our issues. It's our own responsibility to try to cope and deal with our problems as best we can. It sucks. I say this as someone who suffers from severe PTSD/agoraphobia among a number of other mental health issues that I have been working on for many years. It's really unfair that this has happened to us but it's also not fair to expect everyone else in the neighbourhood to stop having fun because we are sadly conditioned to have a traumatic response to something.
Halve the amount of coconut oil and salt and it's pretty healthy again. I'm not positive but I think salt is only unhealthy when you have specific health issues related to sodium intake. And isn't coconut oil supposed to be a healthier fat.

This made me smile. Does that dude's bike get stolen? I can't tell if it's the original rider that gets back on and rides away.
No it does not cover everything, and it'll vary province to province what is covered. In Ontario, things like dental and vision care are not covered. Pretty much anything that happens in a hospital is covered, so if you have surgery and they give you medication while in the hospital it's free. But if they prescribe you something and send you home, you pay for it (like with certain expensive cancer drugs). But if you want a private room that will cost you extra (if you have insurance they may cover it), if one is even available. Our current hospital situation is really bad, it's overloaded and nurses and doctors are leaving and burnt out. Years ago I fainted and someone called an ambulance and I was charged 100 bucks for the ride, it was deemed unnecessary or something so I got charged. I was really young and it was a long time ago so I can't remember exactly. But I've heard others haven't been charged for ambulance rides so it's a case by case basis I suppose. Basically life saving care for emergency stuff like your appendix is about to burst will be covered by OHIP but if you have something like a tooth abscess or need glasses you will have to use insurance or pay out of pocket. For example, bariatric surgery is covered, but there is a very strict guideline for qualifying, otherwise you need to pay it yourself. Pharmaceuticals are not covered unless you are poor and qualify for the Trillium drug coverage that Ontario offers. Our system is far, far from perfect but I would take it over the US's current system anyday.
I get where she was going with this. It feels like it's only giving more fuel for bigots to hate on the LGBT community, though. They aren't willing to even attempt to understand the point she's making, all they see is a transgender person being "disrespectful" to America and will focus on that. I don't know how effective this was, it may have even ended up doing more harm then good.
I used to work fast food and retail, both which forced employees to ask customers to donate at the till. We hated doing it. It is awkward for both the customer and the worker. I would get anxiety when donation drive time of year would come round, and I'd feel relief when the customer either just said no or yes, and didn't yell at me for asking. The cashier REALLY does not care if you donate or not. And the cashier usually does not make your food, it's usually someone else doing the cooking, and the cooks aren't paying attention at all to whether you donated or not.
Perfectly rectangular 🍞 what type of bread did you make? I need to see this sliced!
Do you have a recommendation for a mandolin brand? I might give it a go.
So fancy looking 🌹 How was it? Are the apple "petals" a crispy texture?
I have a dumbass/odd question: are mandolin slicers adjustable and could they be used to slice bagels? I need my bagels cut into 3rds or 4ths, not in halves.
