The owner of @Sora on twitter must be really regretting turning down the $20MM buyout offer for the handle!

Super cool site design, I'll have to go back and look at all the other stories.

I didn't realize IVF was such a brutal process. 932 needles sounds like insanity, not to mention everything else. I'll carry a lot more compassion for those going through IVF going forward, and a lot more excitement for those able to concieve naturally.

687 of those are acupuncture, a form of alternative medicine. So it might help on a psychological level, but certainly not a requirement for IVF.

That said, 245 is still a big number. 79 blood samples and 166 hormone injections.

Why yes, I love having less information to critical financial decisions on.

I wonder who this benefits, the people with non public information, or the every day person?

Reading through these comments, I really miss Reddit's old default homepage.

Sure, you could have your own curated feed, but there was also r/all and everyone seemed to use it, so everyone saw relatively the same thing.

It would sadly never work today, but it was great back then.

The Fediverse has seen a rampant increase in bot activity recently (easily squashed by sane moderators), which to me is a signal that "Reddit is Cooked" and the windup merchants have wised up to where their target audience is going

This sounds like you miss the sense of community reddit used to have, I don't think that would have lasted forever, we were all so naive re: social media 10+ years ago.

Yeah, this is too much nonsense for me.

If a waiter is comping something in exchange for a higher tip, that's not generosity or goodwill at all, it's a dishonest scam.

I will tip what I want to tip (often 0) without remorse and move on with my life.

Unfortunately this cancerous American system leeched into Canada, but we can still stop it, one $0 tip at a time.

I think the procedure is being misinterpreted. This isn't a scam, it's just a common social convention. It's not a scam by the waiter because they have a limited amount they can do this for and they have just chosen to do it for you.

Claude.ai and Anthropic.com?

Have you heard about sonnet37.ai? The infamous chatgpt4o.net? Yeah, me neither.

Okay, but this shows that they made massive acquisition in 2020 (presumably at the bottom of the market in response to COVID) and are now unwinding

I admire Quebec's taxpayer funded (or subsidized?) daycare. The GDP impact really speaks for itself. I hope that comes to the rest of Canada (and does not get abused)

There is a federal program for subsidized $10 per day daycare but some provinces have been a bit stubborn in signing up and making agreements with the federal government.

My personal story echos the author. Parents immigrated here under the skilled worker visa and worked hard to shield me from our poverty.

Despite this, like the author, I was able to have an incredibly well rounded childhood full of activities through our recreation centers, a short 10 minute walk from my home (not so short in the winter!)

There are many times I look with frustration at the payroll taxes I incur paying my colleagues. Articles like this serve as a great reminder that my capabilities are not innate, but built through the sweat and tears of those before me.

I love Canada, and though I have had the incredible privilege to visit (and for short periods, live in!) many countries and every continent, there's nowhere I'd rather call home, nowhere I'd rather contribute to.

Canada may have a "go for bronze" attitude, but it doesn't have to stay that way. We can decide to go for gold, one day at a time.

Going for bronze is absolutely perfect as well. I understand the folks here have a different opinion that lines up with technosolutionism or adjacent to it. There's nothing wrong with living a good life, doing honest work and not think that your latest SaaS idea is a game changer. Also, let's not feed the trolls. Lutke is a lunatic.

Money changes people. He used to be a cool guy.

This is not really cool or impressive at all?
