All good. I always try to assume good faith posting until proven otherwise.

This ain't me!

Well then,

Yep. That's what I said. You must have misread my comment. We're on the same page.

Did they at least one-shot the quest giver?

As an enlightened political centrist, I would only eat at Them-Person Hooters. I inappropriately sexualize ALL genders!

I am very intelligent.

We've got our boosters scheduled for the week before school starts up.

We won't be making the kids mask up again this year, though. Not because they don't need to (they do), but because they're old enough that bullying includes violence. Especially for a trans teenager.

Living in Hellworld is awesome!

In fairness, ol' Joe just learned about the Tikky Tockies, so he thinks China is all clocks and timers now.

Okay, so:

Direct cremation is a very specific thing that morticians are obligated to provide, at risk of losing their license if they refuse. It costs less than a thousand bucks (but usually a lot less), and they don't make a lot of money off of it. So, they're unlikely to offer that service unless you use those specific words: DIRECT CREMATION.

What that means is your body is cremated, and your loved ones get your remains back in a plastic bag in a box. They can spread your ashes wherever you want. Or flush you down the toilet. But they probably shouldn't do that, because there's bits of bone in there and that would be really awkward to explain to a plumber. But you get the idea.

Funeral directors will attempt to take advantage of your family's grief to upsell them on virtually everything imaginable. I mean, you loved X, didn't you? Don't they deserve the best? They're monsters. When my brother died our parents were ready to hand over $15,000 to those ghouls for nothing. I intervened, and the same service they wanted was possible for around $800.

Fuck funeral homes.

A direct cremation plan. And instructions to not have your ashes interred in a graveyard or funeral home. It'll save your loved ones thousands of dollars, and save them from being exploited by the multi-billion dollar funeral industry.

This massacre of innocent bicycles cannot be allowed to stand.

What the fuck

Are you Albertan

Yes. I live in Hell, thank you for asking. Knocking on doors for the NDP is a nightmare here, but I do it, because it's the least bad possible outcome.

or just shitting on things that could help you out of sheer anger and a desire to self-harm?

No. I'm being realistic. Why assume I'm angry about the government in bad faith? I have real material grievances: The current dental program doesn't help us pay for one cent of my kid's surgery. We're going to need to resort to payday loans and pawning stuff to pay for it. That's real anger about real stuff.

The Liberals will never follow through on rolling dental and pharmacare out without multiple layers of means testing. The NDP are going to force an early election they have no serious platform for, and will royally bungle their campaign. As is tradition.

Once the Conservatives are back in power in a year or two, the program will be cancelled. As is also tradition.

Sounds pretty Canadian to me. We have private healthcare in everything but name. I'm on the hook for a $2500 dental bill for my kid right now. It's medically necessary. My insurance won't cover it. We can't pay it.

Meanwhile, the NDP are jacking themselves off over how they, "got dental and pharmacare for everyone¹!!!

¹ Does not apply if you have a job or a home. Until after the next election, when the program will be cancelled.

Best Jeanist liked this post.

They should have gone with Gigantamax Duraludon for the towers.
