Just end it all already.

TL;DR: AU isn’t a good model to base change off. Expensive and scammy.

Not sure what a PCP is, but before I left AU earlier this year, my GP visits were ~AU$100 with a $40 rebate. Private healthcare cannot cover the $60 gap by law, along with a host of other specialists and scans. It felt like a massive scam to have private health. Yes there are free clinics you can go to (“Bulk Billing”), but in my experience because they were always overworked and understaffed, the standard of care wasn’t as good. Plus it was hard to see the same doctor regularly, so you waste more of everyone’s time going over your medical history.

Compare that to Germany, I decided to go with public health here, which comes directly out of my paycheque. It’s expensive, but I don’t see that money and I can go to basically any (English speaking) doctor here, pay nothing for the appointment, and prescriptions are 5 or 10€ (only had one so far, can’t remember the exact cost). Standard of care feels much more in line with the private care of AU. I know there are some scans and blood tests I may need to pay for, but nothing feels scammy so far.

walk a middle ground, you don’t want to veer into aggression or passivity.

Got it, aiming for passive aggression!

I’m guessing it will also play into Trump’s voter fraud claims later. Use Musk’s petition as “proof” that votes for him weren’t counted/were converted to Harris/some other nonsense claim because it’s heavily implied if you’ve signed the petition that you would be voting for trump.

we’ve been familiar with his asshole since the 80s. He was always horrible, but he has steadily gotten worse over the decades.

It’s the anal leakage, isn’t it.

You had me in the first part, NGL.

how profoundly life changes when you stop pointing fingers.

Ain’t that the truth. I can think of a couple of people in my life who would benefit from understanding this.

Bono is the record!

Either I’m missing your joke or you missed the other guy’s

That was easily my favourite part of the debate, just delicious.

Maybe edit the description so it has the link to WaPo?

Oh boy, do I have some catch up to do.

Double standards are really harsh, when a woman sleeps with lots of men, she’s a slut. When a man does the same, he’s gay.

How much is a reasonable amount? I’m concerned I may be over my recommended daily intake.

Agree with this and the other commenter, the cable that came with my last phone stayed in the box and hasn’t been unfurled. I also agree this is almost certainly more about profit than environmentalism, but unused cables are e-waste, and I like to use a longer cable so the short ones that come with the phone have limited use case for people like me.

but of course
