  • Usually this bot is great but this is a pretty big one to miss:

    And the same week NASA’s report came out, Mexican lawmakers were shown by journalist Jaime Maussan two tiny, 1,000-year-old bodies that he claimed were the remains of “non-human” beings. Scientists have called this claim fraudulent and say the mummies may have been looted from gravesites in Peru.

  • So then it wasn't shallow and dismissive at all, you just didn't appreciate the delivery. The points they made were perfectly valid and, ironically, calling them shallow and dismissing was itself shallow and dismissive. It just seems more like you used a bad analogy but can't take the criticism.

  • That's not a great analogy though... you would have to add that, even though most people use it responsibly, banning digital encryption would cause a very dramatic reduction in harm caused by the people that don't use it responsibly.

    Furthermore digital encryption actually serves an inherent purpose so banning it would also cause some harm to society simultaneously. On the other hand, civilian gun ownership serves no inherent purpose so society wouldn't be harmed by banning it, and we would only lose the risk.

  • Healthcare is provincially regulated here, but coverage in other countries is usually only at the rate that they would cover up here. Because of the huge discrepancies in pricing, most provinces recommend you buy travel insurance when going anywhere else.

    In Ontario for example:

    "Doctor services

    OHIP will pay whichever of the following is less:

    • the actual amount billed by doctor(s) who treated you outside Canada
    • rates listed in and paid to Ontario physicians in the Ontario Schedule of Benefits for Physicians Services

    Emergency outpatient services

    OHIP will pay whichever of the following is less:

    • up to $50 (Canadian) per day
    • the amount billed by the hospital

    Emergency inpatient services

    OHIP will pay up to:

    $400 (Canadian) per day for services provided in:

    • an operating room
    • a coronary care unit
    • an intensive care unit
    • a neonatal or pediatric special care unit

    $200 (Canadian) per day for lower levels of care"

  • And let's not pretend that prisons don't regularly disregard inmates dietary restrictions, even the medically necessary ones. It's easy to laugh at this one because 'haha vegan' but it's still atrocious to ignore any dietary restriction, let alone such a common one.
