Where does one go for the nsfw conversations on here? I miss the thirst and fanfic from ARAD sometimes lol. Three last time I checked, the nsfw lemmy server was in read only mode.

I had a neighbour who worked as a high end escort. Does that count?

She was an average looking woman, but good god, was she talkative. She could have an hour long conversation with a literal door knob. By far the most extroverted person I’ve known.

The saddest part of knowing her was that it was important for her that her neighbours knew who she was and she’d let the sane ones know what she did because it gave her a sense of safety knowing that there was a community of people who may shelter her temporarily or call the cops if needed.

I’d kill for a local light rail.

Look at the dangerous people who take trains. This is why we need a 1.5 ton safety blanket truck to keep us safe.

Yeah, fair.

Maybe you meant to comment on the parent comment? 🤔

I’m 🍁, not kkk.

Aren’t most farmers voting for team red? It’s easier to change whose produce I buy this weekend than it is to change my phone’s OS.

I have quit reddit, Instagram, Dropbox, and dropped down to a free tier of Google since the boycotts began though. It’s a work in progress to be rid of all commercial us tech.

Eh, they have to drive on the same shitty roads, be stuck in the same traffic, breathe the same air, and on and on… sauce: been there, done that.

But ковер плесень did it first and better!

But those have a positive impact on society.

Other people don’t exist for our entertainment or amusement. If a “not beautiful” person wants to be naked, that’s their choice.

Eh… a bath house != Bath tub

Bath houses still exist in Japan and a bunch of other countries. They don’t feel thaaaat weird after the initial shock wears off.

Didn’t you see that Elliot and Lupita had roles in the movie and appeared on screen for a few minutes? That’s woke - to some people.

Or the colour choices for Morocco…

Hygiene as in I don’t want to get doxxed, or have someone compiling a profile on me. What do I care if a rando takes me seriously or not? 🤷‍♂️

Not op, but I keep deleting and creating new accounts too. It just internet hygiene at this point.

I’m from Bora Bora btw. See?

I mean, I was told to take ibuprofen for the pain too, not like they sent me home without any treatment lol. 😅

Waiting periods - I’m in Toronto, so I may be biased as the situation varies dramatically from one place to another. Yes, there’s some waiting period compared to private hospitals in India.

If I have to see my family doctor, appointments are 1-2 weeks away. If you go to an ER for something that doesn’t need an ER you’ll end up waiting for over 12 hours while people who need immediate attention get priority (think heart attack, stroke, road accident etc).

There’s no viable in-between, so non-emergency urgent requirements fall through the cracks and lead to a ton of frustration and annoying wait times. Eh: broken bones, high fever etc. where you’re not actively doing so ER deprioritized you but you can’t wait for 2 weeks to see your family doctor either.

I don’t have experience with major issues like biopsies, mri etc and I’ve heard mixed opinions about timelines for those - a lot of the negative reviews were from the covid restrictions era though.

All that said, dentists are not a part of ohip. I paid using a combo of private insurance and cash. My dentist (55+ y/o - semi retired) works five hours a day, three days a week. He is not under any pressure. He prescribed opioids for pain because that’s the norm.

My personal experience -

I met with an accident while riding a bike in India. I described my pain as 7/10 and I was told “it’ll go away in a few days”. That was it.

After immigrating to Canada, I had to get a tooth extraction done. The dentist prescribed acetaminophen with opiates “in case it hurts too much”.

It did hurt, but nowhere close to what I had previously experienced. 🤷‍♂️

Adding to everyone else’s recommendations - Earth’s Own barista’s oat milk is amazing. It was the the one that helped my family stop buying cow’s milk.

You’re clearly not “hushable”.

Why can’t you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?

Kids these days with their fancy pants editors. SMH.
