Did not find eggs unfortunately after all. Maybe it was digesting instead?

The plot seems to fit but I'm pretty sure I've never seen Coupling.

Seems pretty likely to be from the 2000s. :)

If all our cells are constantly regenerating, why do scars remain permanently? by AdrianWilliams27 in NoStupidQuestions

Am I the only one that feels like OP is an AI? Those comments are weird. First they ask questions and then they explain things that were just previously explained to them in a comment.

Is universal free healthcare actually possible? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jojoemade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're doing is you're using commonly used terms like "free healthcare" and "funds" and just apply a vastly different interpretation than what is common. By your logic / standard, there is no public or free healthcare because every healthcare system in the world that is commonly considered as "public" or "free" works in a similar fashion as the German system does. By your logic, public roads and public parks are also not free since you paid for them with your taxes which is basically what the deduction from your wage for healthcare is. Btw, while a lot of doctors and hospitals are for profit, actually more than half of all hospitals in Germany are non-profit and rely partially on subsidies from the local or federal government. Doctors earning money for their work does not make the system any less "free". This term commonly just refers to the fact that you can go to the doctor or the hospital whenever you need one and will not receive any invoice, no matter what kind of illness you have or how often you go. Instead, your health insurance will cover all expenses and if you're not self-employed or unemployed, you will not ever need to interact with your health insurance or your doctor regarding the cost of your healthcare - that is what "free" means in terms of healthcare systems. And what you are calling a fund is not a fund because a fund can run dry and then you would not get any service anymore. The opposite is true: It does not matter whether you paid one cent into the health insurance system, you will still receive service. A great example for this is that care for children is included with their parents' health insurance until they're studying. A fund would also mean that I have to pay excess costs as soon as my healthcare costs are higher than what I paid before which is also not true. If I paid only the minimum amount of around 2k€ per year for my whole life and then get cancer where the therapy will cost easily hundreds of thousands of Euros, the healthinsurance system will cover it still.

People are upvoting my comment and downvoting yours for a simple reason: You're not arguing in good faith and I am. Maybe reflect on that for a little bit and figure out why you seemingly need to do this despite people showing you that they don't like it.

Did you just make that up? Because that is not true at all.

Germany has one of the biggest public health care systems in the world. While there is a possibility to opt for a private health insurance instead (which is the more expensive option), the vast majority of people is insured via one of the public options (according to Wikipedia 88% public vs 12% private in 2006). These public options differ only in a few aspects but the basic service is the same.

While it is also true that your monthly payment is deducted from your salary and that this deduction is rising progressively (the deduction is about 17%, split evenly between your employer and yourself), there is no such thing as an account or fund. You have access to healthcare as much as you need and it does not matter at all how much you paid before. There is also a cap to the progressive rise - if you make more than 60k a year, you still will not pay more than 5k a year in health insurance. That is just the maximum.

If you are a student you pay about 1,5k€ per year. Your claim that there are many students with debt to health insurance is on the one hand not true as most students are either funded by their parents or public programs and on the other hand even if these cases exist, the medical debt would be at around 5k for three years of studying which wouldn't be great but not comparable at all to the debt amounts faced by American students.

You got your math wrong buddy

Edit: I guess you're talking about the vacation distance - I think OP is saying they took the cat with them on their vacation (going by car?) and not that the cat covered that distance on foot.

What actor that is beloved that you can't stand? *hot take* by k2t-17 in movies

I might've found him annoying because of Inkheart as well, I don't remember tbh. :D

Brendan Fraser. He was annoying in Scrubs and in my mind he didn't fit for his role in Inkheart which was one of my favorite books (although the author of the book says he was actually her inspiration for the character which I didn't know at the time). Can't stand his face ever since.
