A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
Absolutely no NSFL content.
Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

In Canada, you pay nothing for anything that isn't elective as long as you're a resident. You just need to register for a healthcare number which can be done at admittance.

I am Canadian too. If I remember correctly, you had to get your family doctor to refer you to a specialist for anything major. During this time, your condition can get worse.

I haven't heard much better about Americans waiting until they die for their insurance company to deny care, or wait for months to find a spot in network, and pay hundreds to thousands of dollars a month for the privilege. I think we do pretty good up here, as life expectancy and outcome comparisons would show.

American have it the worse. No competition. At this point I wouldn't move back to the US anymore. I might move back to Ontario somewhere.
