"pop psychology" translate to "making up health issues to feel special"

Equity is what the German health insurance system tries to achieve: Everybody pays the same % of their wages (14,7 if I am not mistaken) into the insurances, but everybody receives the treatment they need, independent from how much you put in. The system is not flawless, of course, because of many reasons. One of them is that higher wages can opt out (they may not return if the wages drop!) and lower wages are more impacted by a percentage than higher. The Dutch try a different approach, everybody pays the same for basic cover (no opt out).

I want this

How could you leave out the Greenland Shark....those awesome dudes and duderinas outlive EVERYTHING on this list (apart from immortal jellyfish... Who, quite frankly, have found a loophole that needs to be closed)

Do the fonts also count? Cause the Roman ones are in some serif font whereas the modern Latin are in arial

The lower part catches cold air and prevents it from flowing into the heated living area. By this providing a natural fridge, too. IIRC, igloos are built using the same concept for the entrance.

Aluminium will not go away, since it's an inert metal (its affinity towards oxygen just creates protective layer, but otherwise it's the same thing). Good stuff with aluminium is that it's fully recyclable and reusable. But since it's cheap, we don't bother recycling it as much as we should...

I thought the USA was missing and then I saw it....

I didn't know Josta berry was also Josta berry in English. It is a cross between black currant (schwarze JOhannisbeere) and goose berry (STAchelbeere), hence the German name

"A Cool Guides Tips For Police Encounters in the USA" you mean

The cultural norm on jaywalking is more like "if kids are watching, wait until it's green, otherwise just go". But we're indeed more hesitant to just go than other European countries

Crapulence is definitely.being added to my vocabulary.

Too bad white and yellow don't suit me :-(

That heading: "Our Current System" ... it's not mine. Easy to guess it's USA, in which case it should say that.

It makes a huge difference when you are only playing for health care, and not having to provide profits for health care companies. Imagine what would happen is all of the people involved in 'health care' in the USA actually were providing patient care, rather than financial care of businesses. Think of all the people working in insurance, billings, debt collection, etc. Now imagine them retrained as nurses, radiographers, pharmacists, physios, surgeons, doctors, dentists...

That math isn't mathing. 118.3M workers x $1500 a year for the 4% premium ( I rounded up) comes to $178 Billion. 2024 Medicare and Medicaid budget is $1.4 Trillion.

Incredibly oversimplified and not real cause and effect. For instance Single payer does not take into account negotiating a consistent, fair price for all. In the direct payer scenario, the person who makes $80,000 a year could be charged for an office visit $300 or more because 'they can afford it's mentality and business practices. The other method provides a 'contractual' synopsis that equalizes cost. So the patient who is only making $10,000 is given the exact same treatment without prejudice.

In the US, it really depends what kind of job you have. I have a unionized job with a good contract and pay about $200 for my health insurance per month, and it's the top tier plan. The employer pays the rest. In Germany, I would pay about $1100 a month. Even with co-pays, I'm better off with my US health plan, and the medical care is excellent. The problem is that not everyone has a good health care plan, and that dependents add a lot of cost to the monthly pay.

Like the government is capable of managing this. Look at the VA mess.

This is completely incorrect. It doesn't account for tremendous amounts of waste, inefficiency, and bureaucracy that are inherently in single payer models. Nor does it show the years spent on waiting lists attempting to access single payer healthcare. I am in Canada, the most single payer of all systems. Our health system frequently offers Medical Assistance in Death (euthanasia) to patients as a viable alternative to waiting.

Thanks! I still struggle with some features of my dad's fancy camera. After he died I inherited it but I'm not good in remembering the features it has. That's why I try to learn the basics to get better results.

I love the way Dyonisos is depicted! Woo-hooo!

Bras? Heavens no, this is underwear and if I sweat over them an entire day, they go in the basket. They are close to armpits, so no way using them twice

I had no idea there were these kind of meanings behind those

Nothing in this is "cool". It's just dystopian considering there are 217 BILLIONAIRES living in the city.

Mel Brooks has corrupted my mind

If you have a smart tv, SmartTube is godsent. It is an app for YouTube on smart tvs that can do many things mentioned here and more. Edit to add that for Android users, you can check out NewPipe. It's YouTube app, but better.

Also, you have to briefly tap the ends of the two wires together, before you attach them to the dead car, to make make cool sparks and assert dominance :D

And these only include the officially recognised languages. There are hundreds of more localised and tribal dialects and languages not many know of .

Is there a chart of how much meat per animal is tossed every day? Separate for "could not be sold" and "customer didn't eat it and forgot to use the freezer". Killing animals for food is not always and in general bad, but if you kill it, you have to eat it. Otherwise it is not only an economical stupid thing to do, but foremost a crime against animals and abusing nature.

What the hell is a "chicken dinner candy bar"?

Why would anyone want to live there?!? Is impossible to go anywhere.

Poland almost looks like a Disney font.

Tick, Trick und Track 😁

So who else is gonna use this list to see through marketing tricks?

Doesn't help me....I think I have to just memorize it

The chart is missing "If you were a vegetable, what kind would you be?"

May I also suggest, ✨antidepressants✨

We need to add tiktok "body positivity" infulencers to the source of harm.

Pomodoro works really well for me, eating the frog just makes me frustrated. I personally do a couple small tasks to get into things, then attack the bigger things one at a time. Just kidding, I procrastinate until the overwhelming shame is greater than my desire not to do the thing.

i'm living in three different time zones, all at the same time, apparently

Should include fois gras, caviar and taramasalata to show the disgusting and weird stuff rich westerners eat.
