I am honestly incredibly grateful for the NHS and find it bizarre that anyone can be actively against nationalised healthcare. I can’t imagine how many people have died due to simply not wanting to burden their family with excessive bills.
Just figured it wasn’t as relevant as it could be. It was just me mentioning that I think it’s fine to push this sort of change due to being influenced by family working in the ICU seeing cases of alcoholism and alcohol-influenced accidents. However, I am from the UK, which has a higher rate of alcoholism than other nations.
Didn’t think me figuring “eh, nah” would be seen as some sort of heinous micro-aggression.

My cat hated Elizabethan collars and got stuck in places with them frequently, but after switching to a donut collar he became a lot more comfortable.
I’m not sure about other places, but in mod comments on Nexus it’s fairly standard to just reply in your native language and have the other person translate.
You’ll often see discussions with one half in English and the other in Chinese, for example.
