Too true. I scroll through my feed and, outside of the political content, it's hundreds of bright, funny, creative people all in frantic (and/or light-hearted) search of validation from each other.

I was joking to my wife yesterday that scheduling a cleaning at the dentist together is a great first date idea. Even better if it's followed up by a protest.

I mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but have a look at Alicia Elliott's essay "A Mind Spread Out on the Ground," where she talks about this exactly. She's referred to it as "colonial depression."

Yeah, good catch. There are several here, all commenting on the same posts outside of this one, and all with 20 or so comments in the last hour alone.

Yeah, it's weird. If you click on a few of the obvious ones, you'll they're making comments on the same posts, all in the exact same bot voices.

Unfortunately, dental care in Canada is still mostly tied to private insurance through your employer the way health care is in America. Programs like this one are awesome, but far from universal.
