100% and I’m sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the “Why should I?” lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

It’s not just for the benefit of society as a whole, “you” as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

Hasn’t been called “.NET Core” since 3.1

Although it’s essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

People using technology on the internet?

My mum is like this but I think this kind of thing depends on where you’re at in your financial journey and also the type of person you are.

I find that cash burns a hole in my pocket and I check my apps regularly to track spending so any cash effectively just “disappears”, I won’t even remember what I spent it on.

I completely prefer digital spending because for me it’s easier not to lose track and if I seem short, I can trace exactly where it went.

If you’re someone who is not in financial trouble and pays off credit cards regularly then I advise trying to find one with decent rewards and use it for as much of your spending as possible.

This not only gets you air miles / cash back but also helps to build a strong credit record if you’re looking to buy a house, car, … in the future.

One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.

It’s really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don’t generally go around shouting about how evil they are.

Now you’re getting it!

BDS?

90s kids will eventually be the last to claim it for a long time

Ah yes. There’s actually quite a lot of jokes that feel more controversial in retrospect but yeah that one’s pretty bad

Which one is that one?

I used to have to use a USB adapter on my laptop because the built in one was turned off by default and had a Windows only software switch to enable it.

I don’t get it, can you Xplain?

They said if that were the case, not that people believed it.

I.e.: their beliefs overall would be more credible if we assume they’re wrong about this part.

Not personally agreeing or disagreeing.

The cynic in me says maybe your coworker was just taking their time

Isn’t that more for vector graphics though? Not really an equivalent.

I may be wrong

Sigh

Some people are not native speakers

Some people are dyslexic or have other difficulties with writing that they can’t help

Sometimes people just make mistakes, like you did two comments before this one where you wrote “its” instead of “it’s”

You’re not better and this isn’t helpful or kind
