  • Oh, but they do Squid. Their comment/post history tells the story.

  • The story still stands. If it didn't you wouldn't even recognize Jesus' name.

  • So "Yogi Adityanath, the hardline Hindu monk who is the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh" wants to enact racist policies in UP, but can't seem to find his way to force men to stop raping/murdering women and children.

    Hindu monk my ass.

  • If someone misunderstands what you've said, the fault lies with you.

    Good communicators know this and take the time to make sure their comments are conveyed accordingly.

  • Found one for Employment Insurance in Canada ... works out to less than 1% for 2017-18.

    Public accounts documents released this month list more than 104,000 incidents of fraudulent EI claims totalling almost $177 million in the 2017-18 fiscal year.

    EI spending between April 2017 and March 2018 topped $19.7 billion. The value of fraudulent claims amounted to less than one per cent of total spending.

  • 2000 years ago he died for our sins on a cross. Why didn't his story die with him? Because his death made him a martyr, and martyrs live forever.

    The same will happen with Navalny and his ideology.

  • Sorry, I can't even remember what kind of program it was for. My ADHD just picked up on the number and logged it into my brain without a reference point.

    Gimme a bit and I'll see if I can find it.

  • Yup. Afaik those numbers run across the board, although I have seen an insanely low number for one Ontario social program a few years back (like 0.68% found to be scamming).

  • His sacrifice of his life means that his ideology and fight will live on in others who follow his footsteps.

    How do you think Jesus became so well known?

  • I probably should be as well, but I just don't have the fight left in me anymore.

    Maybe someone can explain to me why it's easier to fight for someone else vs ourselves, 'cause it's gd annoying as hell.

  • Problem is the rules aren't enforced on everyone. Just us peons face the full extent of them.

  • The last residential school didn't close until 1997.

  • My guess (if Trudeau is ousted) is Mark Carney.

    Canadians know him well and respect him a lot. He could be the only choice at this point.

  • You assume that the article you referenced in your original post is the final say on type 2 diabetes.

    I would recommend you do some more research on the subject.

    From the Mayo Clinic

    Factors that may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes include:

    • Weight. Being overweight or obese is a main risk.
    • Fat distribution. Storing fat mainly in the abdomen — rather than the hips and thighs — indicates a greater risk. The risk of type 2 diabetes is higher in men with a waist circumference above 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) and in women with a waist measurement above 35 inches (88.9 centimeters).
    • Inactivity. The less active a person is, the greater the risk. Physical activity helps control weight, uses up glucose as energy and makes cells more sensitive to insulin.
    • Family history. An individual's risk of type 2 diabetes increases if a parent or sibling has type 2 diabetes.
    • Race and ethnicity. Although it's unclear why, people of certain races and ethnicities — including Black, Hispanic, Native American and Asian people, and Pacific Islanders — are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than white people are.
    • Blood lipid levels. An increased risk is associated with low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol — the "good" cholesterol — and high levels of triglycerides.
    • Age. The risk of type 2 diabetes increases with age, especially after age 35.
    • Prediabetes. Prediabetes is a condition in which the blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Left untreated, prediabetes often progresses to type 2 diabetes.
    • Pregnancy-related risks. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes is higher in people who had gestational diabetes when they were pregnant and in those who gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds (4 kilograms).
    • Polycystic ovary syndrome. Having polycystic ovary syndrome — a condition characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth and obesity — increases the risk of diabetes.
  • The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

    Navalny did something whether you approve of it or not.
