Hygiene as in I don't want to get doxxed, or have someone compiling a profile on me. What do I care if a rando takes me seriously or not? 🤷♂️

Not op, but I keep deleting and creating new accounts too. It just internet hygiene at this point.
I'm from Bora Bora btw. See?
I mean, I was told to take ibuprofen for the pain too, not like they sent me home without any treatment lol. 😅
Waiting periods - I'm in Toronto, so I may be biased as the situation varies dramatically from one place to another. Yes, there's some waiting period compared to private hospitals in India.
If I have to see my family doctor, appointments are 1-2 weeks away. If you go to an ER for something that doesn't need an ER you'll end up waiting for over 12 hours while people who need immediate attention get priority (think heart attack, stroke, road accident etc).
There's no viable in-between, so non-emergency urgent requirements fall through the cracks and lead to a ton of frustration and annoying wait times. Eh: broken bones, high fever etc. where you're not actively doing so ER deprioritized you but you can't wait for 2 weeks to see your family doctor either.
I don't have experience with major issues like biopsies, mri etc and I've heard mixed opinions about timelines for those - a lot of the negative reviews were from the covid restrictions era though.
All that said, dentists are not a part of ohip. I paid using a combo of private insurance and cash. My dentist (55+ y/o - semi retired) works five hours a day, three days a week. He is not under any pressure. He prescribed opioids for pain because that's the norm.
My personal experience -
I met with an accident while riding a bike in India. I described my pain as 7/10 and I was told "it'll go away in a few days". That was it.
After immigrating to Canada, I had to get a tooth extraction done. The dentist prescribed acetaminophen with opiates "in case it hurts too much".
It did hurt, but nowhere close to what I had previously experienced. 🤷♂️
Your comment reminded me of this moment I had at an office lunch table:
Someone from sales: I've been having a terrible day, the P-O-C at {client company} is being annoying yadda yadda.....
Someone from HR: glaring, and taking mental notes.
Me, a dev: wondering how things could've gone wrong considering that we hadn't even shipped anything for them.
It took us all a moment to realize that "PoC " meant different things to each of us - Point of Contact, Person of Colour, and Proof of Concept. Somehow the salesperson could've been talking about any of those and it'd make, so none of us questioned ourselves first.
Adding to everyone else's recommendations - Earth's Own barista's oat milk is amazing. It was the the one that helped my family stop buying cow's milk.
Why can't you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?
Kids these days with their fancy pants editors. SMH.
In ಕನ್ನಡ (Kannada): ನೀನು (neenu) is the informal you and ನೀವು (neevu) is the formal you.
Pretty much all verbs can be conjugated into formal and informal variants with varying levels of respect indicated. And a ton of words have spoken and written variants - but let's not get into that now.
Ex for verbs:
-
"go"
- ಹೋಗಿ: hogi, gender neutral formal
- ಹೋಗು: hogu, gender neutral informal
- ಹೋಗೋ: hogo, male informal less respectful
- ಹೋಗೋಲೋ: hogolo, male disrespectful , almost like "fuck off dude"
-
"stand up" is ನಿಂತುಕೊ (ninthuko, informal) or ನಿಂತುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ (ninthukolli, formal) etc.
Where I'm from, we use the formal variants when talking to pretty much anyone. The informal version is mostly used if you're talking to friends, toddlers, or cousins (of your own age). The other use case for the informal versions is if you want to insult someone without swearing at them or using the completely disrespectful variants.
Rules change from one city to the next though, and there are regions where using the informal variants is the norm. This leads to some extremely confusing situations - the first time my girl friend met my parents, she addressed them using the informal you and they were shocked (till I jumped in and clarified) as they thought she was dissing them, but it's just how people spoke in the city where she grew up. 🤷♂️
