@Annely922@BokoHarrambe As a white English person who has paid loads of tax in the UK, but no longer lives there, I was charged about £1k when I had a medical emergency in the UK and had to go to A&E. There's a thing as well called 'travel insurance'.
@peterrhague It's what in modern terms is called a 'low trust' society. No one can be trusted, no one else can trust anyone or exercise their own judgement. How did we fall so far from being a very 'high trust' society to this?
@Jaci99709Jaci@PGDynes So did I. That glorious summer. I loved every moment of it, my parents even bought an oversized paddling pool for us teenagers. Woke up in the morning, shorts and T shirt, happiest summer I ever had!
To be fair, @kjoules when I was pregnant 25 to 30 years ago, it was just a thing that you didn't take ANY medicines, drugs, painkillers etc unless it was absolutely necessary. Headache? Drink some water and wait til it went away. It didn't seem like odd advice.
Hong Kong's Department of Health has had to respond to a media enquiry about certain morons claiming that taking acetaminophen / paracetamol / Tylenol while pregnant causes autism, and newborns should not get vaccinated for Hepatitis B

@doodlestein A car can transport me much more efficiently from A to B than walking, yet people still might choose to walk because there's something inherently valuable in walking. Isn't the mental exercise and reasoning to get to the destination the whole point of Classics?
@that_stocks_guy@MerrynSW Shrinking population + rising interest rates = lower property prices. Mortgages aren't 'free' any more. Renting might be the smart and secure financial move. The 'housing ladder' premise was all about falling interest rates and rising property prices, but that's changing.
A six foot, cross-dressing convicted paedophile was taken to hospital from a men's prison for a urinary problem. The nurse called him 'Mr'. He responded by lunging at her and calling her the N-word three times. The NHS has decided to investigate HER

@anammostarac@hiltonholloway Women's demands for 'equality' are based on equal pay for equal work. We'll never win on brute force, we're still doing most of the unpaid cleaning, cooking and childcare. We don't rape men or deny men education or opportunity.
