The chance of divorce is actually closer to 25% these days! Also, the original 50% figure was heavily skewed by people who had divorced previously, just FYI.

Just an aside, but it may help others who have this issue to share the solution that worked for you

You got a lot of downvotes, but you're right at least when it comes to Carnivore.
I'm a proud omnivore, but vitamin C can be found in a lot of different organ meats.

Ah yeah, that is sadly true. Too much lobbying and corruption for this to work the way it's supposed to.

Encapsulated in that "etc." in my first response is "going out of business". This type of response would be way too difficult to get actual numbers for, but it has worked countless times. Just look at all the businesses that are no longer in business at all, they went out of business because they were no longer earning enough to stay viable.
It doesn't matter if the company connects the loss to a specific action (although it would be nice) since the end result is the same, after enough time.
Lastly, I just don't like the idea of my dollars being used by a company to further an agenda that I don't want to support.

I would argue this is actually one of the most effective ways to respond. If enough people do it then the company has to react somehow (by pivoting, etc.). Obviously an organized effort would be better, but the "vote with your money" method isn't anything to ridicule.

Yeaaa if a true market disaster happens, GICs won't really save you. That's where gold may have a leg up, but at that point it's all chaos anyways.
It really comes down to what you are saving for. If it's something more than 5-10 years away, index funds will be the recommended path. Just make sure to include some bonds so you can sleep at night when it goes low.
If it's short term savings less than 5 years, GICs ain't bad! EQ bank has been my go to for that. Just try to get the best rate available for the time that works for you, don't sweat +-.5%
Highly recommend using the flowchart pinned to this community! Just follow those steps and you'll be golden.

The broken arm thing is a bit of a false equivalency, no? No one really decides to break their arm, it just happens. Whereas suicide at the end of the day (no matter how deep the desperation) is a choice.

I'm on the most recent GrapheneOS with both the Google Camera app and the Graphene camera app installed and enabled, and can confirm the double tap of the power button can be set to open the Google Camera app! Downside is I have no idea how I did it 😅

That's just more theatre. Testing is waaaay too easy. Since Canada (in this case) is such a car centric society without suitable alternatives, the testing is barely a check box. The government knows it is too challenging to live without a license for the average person.
Still probably a good idea though, at least it gets the really sketchy people off the roads.
Edit: grammar

Stardew Valley. My wife and I have sunk well over 1000 hours into it and we still aren't bored. The amount of mods for it is insane and gives so much more depth to the game, but vanilla is super well done as well.
