  • Where do you live? The reserve armed forces in Canada would fit that bill, depending on your feelings about that. A day a week and a weekend a month, I forget exactly but it’s consistent, paid, but it’s supposed to be easy enough to fit into a normal life schedule. They usually do disaster relief and stuff like that when they do get called, but theoretically you could be signing up for more given the state of the world.

    Boy scouts/girl Guides/youth groups are always looking for group leaders.

    Volunteer fire also gets close to that mark, it’s voluntary but if you don’t show up you get replaced.

    And volunteer becomes “mandatory” the deeper you get. If you can find a small soup kitchen or conservation group, and really hold yourself to it for a few months, you might find you become vital to that organization. Then I guess it’s up to your personal brain chemistry what “mandatory” means. If you have the keys, I’d assume you’d be there 30 minutes before the weekly soup prep afternoon is supposed to start to open up and meet that new person to show them around.

    Many of these groups are small and in desperate need of good help and sometimes even leadership. On that same note some are little fifedoms and if you aren’t getting good vibes just cut bait and move on.



  • Massage therapists are fully licenced where I live (Canada) They are not, however, licenced to give advice about supplements. Which is why she told me to go to my doctor. But since she went to school for years and takes annual courses to keep up to date on human bodies and how they function, and she spends every day of her life literally hands on hundreds of different human bodies for the past 25 years so far, I’d say she has a much better grasp on how supplements affect people than my plumber, if I had a plumber.



  • Thank you for doing that. I found this out first thing in the morning and am now on my first work break, I hope I would have figured this out eventually but it was bothering me already today. My workmate had the rational thought “it’s got to be a factor of 10 difference or something, you should reread the label when you get home.”

    But again, thanks, now I have a little peace in my head until I can do some more research. I poison my liver with alcohol. I don’t need extra help…

    As for why I take it, I was instructed to by my family doctor as well as my (far more trusted and who I’ve known far longer) Massage therapist, who explicitly said “I can’t legally tell you to take supplements because laws and such, but go ask your doctor about x,y,z.” Which I did.



  • Can’t wait for the article “Selfish asshole kills 8 year old rushing to hospital to pretend saying “goodbye” to a brain dead warm body counts for anything.”

    Reading comprehension is also low, it says the police escorted them to the hospital. So enjoy your psychotic fantasy of checks notes running red lights and driving on the curb to get to your already brain-dead son. We can all collectively hope you never have an excuse to be so reckless, and if you do, you are the only one who has to suffer for it.







  • Thank you for taking the time. I think I was just pigeon-holeing myself in regards to this exact situation and how silly I found it that people were happy to blame Carney specifically within hours of a story (about a private company doing evil) getting published, literally less than a few weeks totally of them specifically doing this particular evil.

    I agree with “the government as a whole institution is to blame.” For having this type of private business at all.
