Right, and what I’m saying is that the back of this package is identical to the photo provided here, except in French.

Considering it’s a Canadian product and there’s no French on this side, the back of the box probably has the same thing, but in French.

PBS is also an American broadcaster.

I 100% agree with your plastic statements. However, wanted to make a note that it is standard practice to put type 1 diabetics on a low dose blood pressure medication because it reduces wear on their kidneys, thereby reducing the risk of renal failure and other complications. Cholesterol meds are also prescribed proactively to people with a variety of chronic illnesses, particularly those related to heart health, who are often eating better than anyone here, but have higher risks of complications. Medications are tools amongst a variety of ways to help people live better lives.

All that to say, what choices you make about medications and their place in your health are completely valid for you. That doesn’t mean your choices are applicable across the board. Please don’t give medical advice on the internet. (A conversation about the importance of communities designed to encourage exercise, and easy access to affordable unprocessed/low processed food is a different thing from “don’t take medications: everything can be cured by kale and a walk in the woods”)

Do you work for one of those providers? Again, trying to figure out where you’re getting your information from. Not saying you’re incorrect; would just like to know where you sourced that info. It would be useful to reference in the future.

ISDE shows that Bell and Telus (and their sub-brands) also use B12, which is the same band AT&T and T-Mobile use for rural and building penetration. The big 3 also use B17, which I’m not even sure the US providers use. That said, I’m the first to admit my work with cellular mobility wasn’t at the granular level of specific frequency coverage. Hoping your info source can help clear that up.

Telus, Bell, and Freedom all use several other bands, along with B13, 66 and 71.

I’m curious where you got the info of no Telus, Bell, Freedom?

Just thinking your question through for fun. I’m sure there are more dedicated fans who will tear this to shreds:

Tatooine is/was home to numerous moisture farms, which implies at least some moisture in the air to be able to extract. Granted, the size of water droplets needed for a visible rainbow is more than the minimum 1.5% relative humidity needed for those extractors to work. I can’t find anything on average relative humidity for Tatooine, but considering 1.5% produces only 1.5L of water/extractor/day, yet the Lars farm supposedly had a moderately successful hydroponics garden, plus drinking, cooking, and minimal cleaning water implies a higher average humidity than 1.5% while still at least scraping by. According to ‘The Complete Location Factbook’ Tatooine has 1% surface water. To keep surface water in the desert, you need either a ground source (underground water may or may not exist - I found conflicting info), or you need rain. In Star Wars: Rise of the Jedi, when Rey goes to Tatooine, you can see cumulus clouds which also implies occasional rainfall.

So I’d venture that at just the right time, it could be possible to have visible rainbows.

Absolutely. Though I personally feel that if we’re choosing to perpetuate the stereotype by adopting it, we need to take the time to educate ourselves on what power that stereotype has, not to mention unpacking why we’re attracted to it: are we healing, or reopening a wound?

Opting in to a stereotype means we can opt out, and that also means we may not be fully burdened by the harm that stereotype can do. Depending on the stereotype, we can inadvertently distress or reproduce harmful scenarios for people who do not have the option to opt out.

I’m not responsible for where other people’s toes are on a dance floor. I am responsible for whether I’m wearing sneakers or boots, and adjusting my step if I see toes where I’m about to dance.

The last sentence in my reply was “we don’t know what her real life is like” you’re parroting that back at me, but trying to speculate on what her life is like at the same time. We don’t know. We can’t know.

If you really want to know what it’s like to be a woman, maybe ask a few to go for coffee and actually listen to what they have to say. They’re not these mystical creatures you are making them out to be. If you are transfemme, or a CD, that’s great. And it’s still not OK to find your own gender by compounding the stereotypes.

The majority of porn is created for straight men. North American men, where the majority of the commercial porn industry operates, are socialised to think that finding another man attractive = gay, and gay = emasculating/bad (I don’t agree, that’s just the messaging). So the fact that porn only shows a man’s genitals serves 2 purposes: it helps maintain the “no homo” mentality, while also allowing the viewer to insert themselves into the scene. That’s now their big, veiny penis and huge cum shot. It has nothing to do with the attractiveness of men (though the statement “men are ugly” is a part of the larger problem in how our societies are socialised around gender)

Beauty is a series of social expectations. By Eurocentric standards, in the 1800s a beautiful woman was fat. In the 2000s she was athletic, today, she is gaunt with a distinct lack of fat in her face. Nothing we see in photographs is “natural” beauty. Even this one - that woman is working. Her job is dependant on selling a sexual narrative to her customers. What you see isn’t so much “herself” as a product she has assembled with makeup and clothing in order to do her job. You are fantasising about the opportunity to be the fantasy she is selling. Not to actually be her. We don’t know what her real life is like.

I agree with you. And I get so frustrated knowing the majority of the dimwits who voted for this won’t be the ones to feel the brunt of what they voted for. I wish it could be targeted: “Because you voted for us, you get to experience our “optimised” healthcare system first!”

A couple hundred hears ago, children were losing life and limb working 12 hour shifts in factories and mines. This is not a great example of how things were superior in “the good old days” - and also a perfect example of why we should be weary when anyone, ourselves included, speak of how the past was a better time.

I appreciate your covert strategy to get people to play with your butt.

The first KCD faced criticism for having exclusively white characters in it, and Vávra saying that was historically accurate (spoiler: people from Africa and Asia were in the Roman Empire at that time; generally as merchants or slaves). Vávra supported gamergate, and has always been vocally “anti woke”.

There was a surge in purchases of KCD2 when Vávra claimed Dragon Age Veilguard failed solely because of involving “gender politics” in the game, which gives you a pretty good idea of a large portion of the gamerbase for the KCD games.

You’ve made a good choice in not supporting this dipshit.

Castration?

Are you reading anything you’re commenting on? Where in anything I’ve posted here, have I mentioned racism?

The NCR charge in relation to the two deaths cannot be appealed.

What is being appealed is the charge of driving without a license, and endangerment: the charges placed by the police when he was originally pulled over. His lawyer is appealing those charges because that’s what defence lawyers do. The lawyer is literally doing his job.

Al Jamoud was found Not Criminally Responsible. The article you linked, and most mainstream media hype this as “a criminal getting away scott free” I addressed the fact he was found NCR, and what that actually means, the safety measures put in place, and how they are assessed.

But sure, bud, whatever you say.

I agree, it is horrible that it takes people dying for some of these folks to get help. I do think that your focus on the trauma of refugees is slightly misplaced. Refugees and immigrants are not over-represented in the NCR population. There are more elderly Canadian-born men, Rich Canadian-born women, and Canadian-born college students than there are refugees who are NCR - just like there are more of those demographics at the macro level in Canada. This indicates it has less to do with habits and cultural baggage, and much more to do with Canada’s lack of accessible mental health support for all residents. We have no insights into this particular individual, however, most people deemed NCR have prior history of accessing mental health support; or attempting, but failing, to access those supports. Our healthcare systems are not set up to ensure people with mental health difficulties have access to the level of care that would be needed to proactively intervene, or keep communities safe.

It’s also troubling that this incident happened immediately after engaging with Law enforcement. This indicates a lack of training and/or investment in the person they were engaging: The officers stopped this individual, who was driving erratically with no license, and did not recognize that this person was unsafe to drive. It’s disheartening that lives could have been saved if these officers had picked up on this person entering a PTSD attack. It unfortunately reflects a larger issue of law enforcement being ill prepared/ill supported (be that burnout/compassion fatigue, or just not having access to social workers/community deescalation supports) and it resulting in people being hurt/killed when mental health is a factor.

There is pearl clutching every time an article about an NCR determination is shared here, and it shows how much the average person doesn’t know about our legal system. So here’s an overview of Not Criminally Responsible:

The 6 months mentioned in this article was the time taken to assess them, ensure they’re fit to stand trial, and the trial itself. It’s not a standard time, these cases usually take forever.

Assuming the person is found fit to stand trial, the judge will remand them to the forensic psychiatry department where they will be assessed 24/7 by a team of senior psychiatric professionals. No one working here is fresh out of school; they all have years of experience, and have expertise in symptoms and treatments of mental health issues. They can dell the difference between a personality disorder and psychosis, and because there is always a team of professionals around, they figure out if someone is trying to fake an illness pretty damn quickly.

The unit staff are tasked with many things, including stabilising the individual prior to their court appointment whenever possible. More central to the main NCR conversation is them determining whether the person was aware of their actions, and the consequences of their actions at the time they committed the crime. If they were aware of both or either, they are not considered NCR. Once the assessment is complete, the lead psychiatrist will be summoned to court to present their findings and expert testimony. With that information, the judge will determine whether the individual is NCR or not.

Assuming they are found NCR, they are then under the purview of a board which consists of 5 people: the chair; who has a legal background (judge/lawyer), a medical doctor, a psychiatrist, a layperson, and one other individual who can be a second of any of the other 4 roles.

The board determines the requirements to keep the community safe, as well as what is needed to keep the individual healthy. This means the board decides where this person can live, who they must live with (someone responsible for them), where they can go, who they can see, what they can do, what they may purchase (if relevant to their charge), what they may own, what medications and treatments they must undergo, how often they must be in contact with forensic psychiatry supports, their lawyer, and the board. None of that is optional, and if they fail to comply, either by choice or illness, the police will bring them back to remand.

Unlike a guilty charge, there is no end date for being NCR. This will be this person’s life for the foreseeable future, until the board determines that they have been mentally stable, compliant, and self-managing for a long enough time as to no longer be considered a risk. For anyone who has experience with the illnesses/conditions that tend to contribute to these situations (psychosis, dementia, certain types of brain damage, etc.), they can attest that these illnesses do not -do- stability. This means most people who are NCR have their lives controlled by a board for a very, very long time. Much longer than the jail term would have been, had they not been found NCR.

This isn’t the “get out of jail free” card media has portrayed it to be. And if you made it to the bottom of this essay, congrats: you now know a crap tonne more about how our legal system works than the average Canadian.

Incorrect title. This is clearly a Tweanky.
