Oddly enough, if I try to sign up with a different email address, it knows where I am - it's clearly my existing email address being forced into the Dutch subscription models.

I just want to give Disney my money, and it's like they don't even want it. :P
English
I recently moved to the United Kingdom from the Netherlands, and just tripped across a ghost from my professional past. You see, my @DisneyPlusNL account permanently believes me to be an NL resident. I've been here 2 months, and my main account doggedly insists otherwise.
English
I'd suggest that we use this money to fund projects to house the homeless and to fund the VA, but I know for a fact this would be the response.

@MTabarrok @sam_d_1995 It’s wild but this has already been solved in other countries, much easier, much cheaper, and much faster.

“what if we built a subway but reduced the capacity from 2,000 people per vehicle to 4”

I’ll also add that for the trouble of paying an extra 2%, I get an annual healthcare deductible of just €385 and a system that’s basically Medicare for All. It’s not perfect, by any means, but they’ve sent an ambulance to my house for free twice. And I’ve never waited for care.
English
Whether these expenses should be baked into an income tax is a philosophical question and worth discussing. But at the end of the day, things that “round up” to “taxes” are roughly the same here - it’s just front loaded into an income tax instead of being spread around.
English
This is my favorite topic to wade into. You see, I moved from Texas to the Netherlands. It will curdle your milk to know that the Dutch income tax top rate is 49.5% starting at €77k. I make quite a lot so my effective rate is about 40%. In the US my effective rate was about 30%.

@erosramazzzoti @bencoates1 @realDavidKatzin "Someone did something predictable" is not nearly the same as saying "someone was justified in doing something." Something can be both predictable and also horrific.
English
@bencoates1 @realDavidKatzin It actually suggests that IDF's actions are justified. Maybe you had something else in mind, but that's what it looks like and it seems that you are doubling down.

I’ve been off the ice for about two years now, but this is the shit that makes me want to put the pumpkins back on.

I absolutely demand the @nhl do this with their officials immediately. If you won't have them answer questions then we need to see their POV.

@adhib @shynafo @dieworkwear @007ina911 I live abroad. Very few of my colleagues are American. They mostly know that Labor Day is an American holiday, but they don’t all know when it is or exactly what it is. Honestly, it’s so distant to me now that even I forget about it most of the time.
English
@shynafo @dieworkwear @007ina911 Oh, come ON! Like our cultures aren't *soaked* in info about the US. Does nobody pay attention in movies any more?

Like a lot of stuff in classic men's dress, the rule of "no white after Labor Day" is rooted in class dynamics during the early 20th century. Many questions can be answered by "what is the aesthetic?" and "who set the rules?" 🧵
Noah Larsen (박찬우)@nlarjrm319
A question for @dieworkwear: when does the "no white after Labor Day" rule end? Start of a new year? Warmer temps? Something else? Follow-up (or perhaps a prerequisite) question, is that rule still even relevant?

@_MarlonJames @CastroPodcasts Each service seems to maintain its own cache of podcasts on their servers, and whether it shows up seems to be correlated to whether users of that app have previously subscribed to the podcast. It might be that you're the first Castro user to sub?
English
@CastroPodcasts I'll see if I can find an RSS link. I'm wondering why the show isn't found via search though. It shows via search in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Pocket Casts in a snap.

@Nowooski "You can't be denied service if you can't pay."
No, you can't be denied _life saving service_ if you can't pay. If you need anything at all that sums up to non-critical care, you absolutely can be denied service.
English
@Nowooski Wait til you see what wait times look like in the US if you can't afford your co-pay or deductible. In Texas, when I was younger, we once had to wait an entire year to see a specialist because they refused to see us unless we paid the deductible up front. ¯\_(o.o)_/¯
English
Since we are talking about healthcare today, it’s worth noting that the single payer systems in Canada and the UK are wildly worse than most Americans realize.
These are wait times in weeks (!!!) to see doctors in Canada.
