Totally agree, it's wild, just wanted to give some perspective from the other side π

After all that school, I hear you π . But physicians in Canada, for instance, make substantially less than our friends to the south...for some specialties, even getting to $200,000 doesn't mean much when you have so much debt, fees, and other business costs. It makes a difference given the huge need for physicians all around...such a sacrifice on so many levels with little payoff untill so much later. Couldn't imagine the impact a donation like this would have anywhere, let alone Canada.
I get the hate, but as someone with some experience here, the amount of debt from a normal BA/BSc is miniscule compared to med school...like doesn't even come remotely close. The amount of time spent paying that back for someone that doesn't come from wealth is sometimes longer than they live...
Yes! So glad someone else though of this π
These just keep getting better and better
I'm on Lemmy.ml and am anything but a "tankie". Love it here. Tonnes of tech/varied posts in my main subscribed feed and I've never noticed anything other than a minimal dose of drama...Facebook or Reddit are much more toxic in comparison which is part of the reason I left those places.
Do you have no soul..? π³
I just wiped Windows from my drive yesterday and committed to Fedora after dualbooting for 15 years...I've been maining Fedora for a while and always kept Windows around "just in case", but never actually seemed to need it. This recall/AI spyware was it for me though. Gaming has been a breeze for a while on Fedora/Linux due to Steam/Proton...such a great feeling to finally be completely rid of Windows!
Voyager: S3, Ep. 23, "Distant Origin" is one of my absolute favs. It follows the team's interactions with a not-so-alien race and the friction in their culture between science/academia and religion. I love Voyager overall, but this episode had me on the edge of my seat.
Mine are 5 and 3 and from what I gather from other parents, I have the most draconian rules of them all π . My kids watch very little TV...only a little before bed. They can start playing on their tablets for a bit before that, but they only have educational games (G-Compris and Khan Academy Kids, etc.) and a few other FOSS ones. I've tried teaching them to use a controller to play some SNES/N64 games on my Retropie with no luck...but according to my son's SK teacher, that's not such a bad thing. Just trying to avoid them turning into tech zombies as much as I can...they're pretty much living as close to the 90s upbringing I had as possible haha
As awesome as it is that they even entertained the idea of female firefighters...how ridiculous is it that they were more concerned with fashion rather than function...
