    I’ve only looked at Canada and Japan personally, but I can add that Japan also does this. The process of immigrating is to effectively prove you’ll be a net positive on their economy if you live there, limiting disability is one way they can do that.

    Working through Perdido Street Station on my new Kobo. I understand the critiques on pacing, and spending too much time on world building as now, 400 pages in, races, sections of the city, creatures, and cultures are still being introduced. But it has been an enjoyable ride so far, especially with one of the main PoVs being one of my favorite tropes of just “scientist doing science”

    My first gaming experience was when I was stuck in the hospital for days due to surgery on my feet when I was super young. My mom’s friend let me borrow her kid’s NES and, as I couldn’t get out of bed, I did nothing but play River City Random, Super Mario Brothers, and one other game I no longer remember.
