  • TBH it was hard for me to wrap my head around Europe’s healthcare, I’ve was always told that it was similar to where I’m from (Scotland) but I would read about insurance and employer healthcare and be really confused, since up here everything (prescriptions, glasses, teeth) is free and there’s no insurance.

    There’s been stories of tourists asking where to pay / show their insurance card and the receptionist at the hospital would shrug and say that they don’t know what to do.

    That sort of rhetoric always feels sexist to me. The implication is that trans women shouldn’t compete since those with XY chromosomes have some sort of superpower that means they’ll beat those with XX.

    The quote “Trans women can compete in sports as long as they don’t win.” always stood out to me.

    There’s food that goes to waste all over the world. The main issue isn’t the lack of it, but how to get it where it needs to. People might be looking for animals to adopt while PETA euthanises the ones they receive not because they want to, but because the operational costs of shipping / holding until someone will pick up said animal would be unmanageable.
