Doctors aren’t paid to answer your emails, sign paperwork or prescriptions while your not in the room, and if you are late or don’t show up they don’t get paid for the time you’re not there.

If you add in the fact that they are absurdly overbooked and have a business to run too, it’s easy to see that there are numerous problems to be be fixed. Being an employee, or them forming a union of sorts would be a good.

Additionally, if someone is dying on a plane, a doctor wouldn’t be covered by their insurance if they mess up a procedure on that plane. The doctor would be taking all of the risk.

Ten years ago when I first graduated game development with honours, there wasn’t any local jobs in my field or studios that would bring me over, so while working minimum wage full time for a few years I released a video game solo and several smaller projects that all made no money, and then I finally got hired… at a shit starter job with a 1.5 hour commute time by bus. Meanwhile I had friends with wealthy parents and connections who got hired immediately.

I released more projects, and was applying to other jobs during my lunch hours, and a year later I got a software job that doubled my salary and now I am doing well. I paid off all my loans and then bought a townhouse last year at 30. I don’t find recruiters now, they find me.

I do not like the idea of other people having to go through what I did. My early 20’s were a hellish grindfest that no one should have to do. Genz has it even worse and I have seen it in the workplace.

I don’t know what to tell you, other than you’re not alone. Most people have a huge reality check in their 20s and adulthood hits hard… because we’re not taxing the billionaires.

We could really use a movement to get more people to try adding beans, peas, and tofu to their grocery list. I wasn’t able to stick to not eating meat, but sticking to eating less meat by adding alternatives to my grocery list turned out to be quite easy.

I have seen my family doctor many times since then. No worries.

Canadian here.

This one time 10 years ago I drove to my family doctor’s office without an appointment and got lucky that it was a walk in day.

I saw my doctor within an hour of arriving and it cost me nothing.

Our emissions are already terrible. We do not need to destroy the earth more.

Alright I’m going to need all of your suggestions as this is the project I’m working on right now.

A bought a small townhouse in Ontario 7 months ago and I have a tiny yard.

The yard had mostly grass, but had a little bit of moss, crab grass, and clover. There is a small garden, and many dirt patches in the yard.

I have spread clover seed in the yard, especially in the dirt patches.

Then I weeded the garden area, removed about half the rocks but left some in the garden, I have my mother coming over next month to help me pick local garden flowers, and I had to pull a tiny tree out because it was planted right beside the foundation of the building and would eventually cause damage.

What else should be added to the lawn? Should I be pulling out the crabgrass? What wildflowers are native to Ontario?

…We can’t keep doing this. Why do people still so consistently vote to destroy the environment?

Let’s focus on things that don’t dedicate us to a tip-based economy.

To my knowledge, the only change to tips we need is that if your tips are put into a pool to be spread amongst the staff, which is a common practice in restaurants so that the chefs and dishwashers get tips, then the owner can’t include themself in the people to get paid from that pool.

I dated a girl for a while in Ottawa where the owner was taking a huge cut of her tips that way.

Here in Canada I’ve started ordering from the Canadian Tire app instead.

USA dairy isn’t getting tariff’d. That’s actually misinformation.

The Canadian government has a system where if the market is flooded with over a certain amount of dairy, those crazy tariff numbers kick in.

In the past decade, the US has not been able to export enough to come close to flooding our market, so their dairy isn’t heavily tariff’d.

Basically Trump is whining about a non-problem because he can’t read.
