Are these death tragic? Yes. But 40 deaths a year isn't something that's going to sound a call to arms. Perhaps money would be best put toward more mental health services for men, whose rate of suicides far outstrips that of women but have significantly fewer resources specifically for them.

Well tbh, I'm still working out how a lot of this federated thing works and this was my gateway to Lemmy after the Redditpocalypse

I was the buddy hanging on for dear life. The driver was a good friend, but a horrific driver. He almost got the title. Both times, cause they invited him back for the Worst Ever season

I was on a show called Canada's Worst Driver. Hence my username

I'm relatively sure that the shooter will turn out to be someone who had a loved one suffer and die because they were refused health care coverage. This may turn out to be only the first of similar incidents.

As someone of Ukrainian descent I do. My grandfather fled the Holomodor to arrive in Canada in the 1920s, where he was able to put down $20 and prove out a section of land in a 5 year period to earn title to that land. That said, I am glad you used an actual news source. When I first saw that they were youtube links I was already going, "Oh boy, here we go again with a raging conspiracy theorist," but I was pleasantly surprised that it was DW News, an outlet that plays on my smarthub, along with CBC news.

That said, you have anything newer than 2 years ago? It would be interesting to learn if there has been any progress on this.

You wanna link some of that claim?

Nah, just somebody who was lucky enough to soar with some actual sword masters over the years. I'm no Jill Bearup, but I know which end goes into the other guy.

You obviously haven't fought anyone with a sword. And before you ask, yes I have.

It's also called being ready for anything. It's what you do when you aren't entirely sure what the idiot on the other side is going to do.

The world's best swordsman isn't afraid of the second best swordsman. He's afraid of the world's worst swordsman, cause he can never be sure what the idiot will do.

Same principle.
