you have an interesting belief in the Canadian medical system and the increasing rot due to decades of starvation and politicking

like it has been pointed out several times now, there is nothing wrong with the wording and stated implementation of MAID. The issue arises as soon as you add in the context of the Canadian state, inclusive of its politics, treatment of indigenous peoples, racism, and ableist attitudes.
We can also talk about the reality of setting up a dichotomy wherein the patient believes it's best for themself to get maid because the govt will never do anything to improve their lives and they have no other options. it does not deny agency to understand people will act differently if they are not constrained in their choices, and empowering people to choose to live by their own agency is a much better target to hit (costs money tho :'( )

one of my best friends is going to apply for maid and is pissed at the delay in mental health reasons. I support her and individually there can be benefits, systematically it is a troubling tool to introduce into the state under the current right wing trends arising from a deeply unequal society getting hit with the ongoing climate crisis

i am also pretty scared of our upcoming election because our conservative party is picking up the anti trans rhetoric and who knows maybe it'll become my best option one day when it becomes illegal to live as myself

yeah i guess we should just sentence people with terminal illnesses to be forced to die in pain and suffering then, as long as it prevents even one borderline case due to some vague "systemic issues"

great summary of my post no notes, that is exactly what i said, can't believe i wasted all those words when only a few would have done :doh:

at no point have i said i don't want maid available, i am asking for better and to explain why issues with maid are not based on wanting people to suffer as you keep suggesting
do you think the discussion here is going to influence policy or something? how is talking about maid and the interactions with systematic issues in loving cspam going affect anything?

yeah, the "profits must improve... forever" mentality really drives some nutty stuff in the valley. The startup / VC world is a scam, and almost everything here is built on "must go up" principles. It's going to break eventually, but until then it's a wild ride trying to find the next big thing

Work chat reminds me how agonizing the job searching process is and how crushing it feels to be jobless. I've always had trouble getting one for many reasons (ASD, ADHD, chronic health problems, severe depressive disorder and anxiety, to name a few), plus I graduated after the Great Recession, which, y'know, didn't help. It wasn't through lack of trying -- I'd spend months trawling through job sites, applying for whatever opening looked good, reading article after article for help, writing and rewriting resumes, but I always stopped because I'd end up spiraling into a deep depression after getting gently caress-all in response. I managed to get a job as a packager about five years ago, but ended up quitting because corporate made the working environment miserable (talked to HR about accommodations, nothing changed lol).

I tried employment programs for the disabled -- one from the state, one from a "nonprofit", both were essentially useless and consisted of someone searching job sites alongside me, calling the company a few times if I didn't get a reply, then saying, "Well, guess they're not interested!" I ended my latest search a month ago because I was struggling with sudden crying fits, constant sadness, suicidal thoughts, all that good stuff. It's so disheartening every time and it gets worse as time passes, not just because I have a vast unemployment gap, but also material conditions are deteriorating and the future looks really loving dark. If you don't work, you're useless, a burden. When will I be pushed towards some state-encouraged euthanasia program?

Yeah, I'm dreading the job search. Today is my last day due to a move. :rubby:

yeah apples been late to the game, and also late to the "AI!!!" game which has hurt 'shareholder sentiment' lmao

VR felt like a pretty forced bubble, i didn't really know anyone who actually really cared, especially with MS and Sony trying to force VR console poo poo that flopped DOA. that said technology, particularly on the very small-scale level, has been advancing a lot. it's amazing what the Switch does as basically a 2013-model android tablet. a new Switch with 2024-tablet technology would be balls-busting good. i could be wrong but I think VR was a bit too premature for it's own good and they cooked the golden goose while it was still a zygote in an attempt to chase da profits before anyone else.

but it's clear that even with $$$$$$$ in infinite apple money, they still can't make a good device, so it's probably still too premature.
