Rh, I deal with a few British people on a daily basis. Still relevant.
- Comment on jealousy 2 months ago:
My teeth emphatically didn’t look like that at 21. More like someone used a shotgun to implant them to my mouth. I could be from Britain for all I care.

That’s why you want a national health care program funded by taxes (they call it health insurance, but it’s mandatory and based on income, so it’s a tax, really). Private insurance is still allowed, but everyone gets a baseline.
Sure, this system has got its share of problems, and they’re massive, but if you need care, you generally receive it regardless of your financial situation. Again, bureaucracy happens and there are waiting times etc. etc., but the idea that you may lose everything because you got sick is so alien to me I have no words.

It shouldn’t exist? I’d like to see you pay for your medical expenses out of pocket.
P. S. No, I am not American.

Damn right. If I transitioned, I wouldn’t take a lame name like Mildred. I’d go for something cool like Radicalorange or Forcefulblue.

- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 11 months ago:
INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I’ve gotta say, it’s properly weird and I wonder what’s it got in stock for me.

Yeah, I’ve heard good things about the second one, so I’m doing the first one now. Finding the stars is truly insane sometimes.
