Watching Harvey Penick videos helped a lot too.

It should be tied to federal minimum wage. You want a raise? The rest of us get one, too.

Gosh why can't the Democrats nominate somebody else? Ugh

Pick a country that's not tearing down billions of housing units that aren't habitable

If this feels new rather than something you've always dealt with, please get evaluated by a doctor right away. Nobody on Lemmy can diagnose you over the Internet.

The seditionists were likely well armed, so firing at them might have felt like suicide.

It's been 30 years so I don't really remember. They were higher quality and cut to fit my stance, which is a little weird because I have big boobs. Also I was starting from a really low bar -- 56 handicap. The biggest improvement was the distance with my woods.

TBF we are talking about unrealized gains. Their investments are worth more on paper, but until they sell them, the actual profit or loss will fluctuate. It would be an accounting nightmare to figure tax on unsold investments every year. I do, however, think capital gains should be taxed at the same rate as wage income.

A lot of doctors get their degree in Canadian schools and then go work in the USA, so I do think if Canada compensated better they could retain more people

I'm dead-on average.

Custom golf clubs versus off the rack. Took 30 strokes off my game.

Haircuts / hair dyeing

Just today I was searching for a news article about a local radio personality who got fired in the last few days. Zero relevant results. Just extraneous garbage. I was stunned.

I'm not one to give advice. My joy is a happy accident of chemistry, I think.

Printers that work.

Vendor trash

Serious answer? The serenity prayer. Recognize what is in your control and what's not. Accept what you can't change, change what you can.

Canadian single-prayer healthcare doesn't include dental; you need a private policy for that. I never visited the dentist when I lived there, but I presume since it's for profit it's better. Are you in a small town or something? My big city seems to have a surfeit of dentists

It was an acquaintance, but yes. Thing is, if you don't have insurance, your price is usually deeply discounted. A few weeks ago I needed a scan of a vein for a blood clot. My copay was $300 (and who knows how much the total paid by insurance would be), but they said I could just pay cash and not go through insurance and it was only $130. That's part of the problem with our system.

Sorry to hear that. These things ought not to be in a society as wealthy as ours
