BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What game changing item*s can you buy for $100 or less?14·19 days agoYou really should buy a bedbug proof mattress cover and interceptors for the legs of your bed and furniture. Trust me when I say that an ounce of prevention will save you a lot of trouble, cost, and emotional trauma. Even if it costs more, buy then anyway.
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•A huge outbreak has made Ontario the measles centre of the western hemisphere.8·26 days agoDuring the more deadly early days of COVID around Delta or so, my hospital ICU nurses were interviewed about COVID patients and ECMO and whatall on the news, and talked about how many people begged to be vaccinated once they were about to be intubated. Nothing will convince them until it kills them.
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•A huge outbreak has made Ontario the measles centre of the western hemisphere.5·27 days agoWeaponized disinformation really.
What concerns me is that some people will say “oh we vaccinate, like not for flu or COVID or anything like that, but real vaccines”. Um, how many people have to die?
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•A huge outbreak has made Ontario the measles centre of the western hemisphere.11·27 days agoRomana still has supporters. I don’t think we quite have MAGA, but unmoderated social media affects us all.
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•A huge outbreak has made Ontario the measles centre of the western hemisphere.21·27 days agoI know a nurse who was working in peds during a smaller measles outbreak last year in Ontario where that child died. She said to me that the children she worked with were all unvaccinated, they were the sickest people she’s ever worked with in her career, and that the parents were universally obnoxious and resistant.
The other thing is that if any unvaccinated child who simply isn’t old enough for the vaccine, meaning babies, is exposed to measles, even if they are asymptomatic they still have to be treated. She told me they had to treat 30 babies from that outbreak in our city alone.

BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Measles is back – here are five things you need to know2·27 days agoYes I got a titer too and am waiting for results. These ignorant asses aren’t going to kill me with their nonsense. I also just got the shingles vaccine, my tenth COVID shot, and next pneumococcal and RSV vaccines. I’m sorry weaponized disinformation on unmoderated social media has led them to this but also they can fuck off all the way to fuckoffville and then fuck off some more.
I’m 50 and I will do literally anything to not climb any stairs. My knee just doesn’t wanna.

The Moorish sovcits is a large part of their numbers, although nobody knows exactly how many there are. I have found exactly one non-white or black sovcit.

BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ex-Kelowna RCMP officer who sexted assault victim gets conditional discharge, no criminal record7·1 month agoJudge’s decision here.
Apparently one of the reasons for the sentence was that he was suffering from PTSD at the time, and other officers in similar cases were given the same sentence. So guys, if you want to send people who you are in a position of power over dick pics, just make sure to say it was because of PTSD because I’m sure that judgement would totally be the same for civilians right? .
In all seriousness I read a lot of judicial decisions in Canada and I find most of them measured and according to the law. I think the law needs to reflect harsher punishments for some crimes, like sexual assault/child molestation/rape/CSAM possession, etc. It’s honestly shocking to read some of the crimes against children, and their perpetrators are never named so as to protect the child’s privacy, but one guy was raping his 14 year old stepdaughter with a condom on every time for years, and because of the law could only get 8 years. The judge’s hands are tied in this regard.
But somehow cops always get off.
