I think it depends what the button function is - if it’s to go to the social channel of the business whose website you’re on, I agree the Contact Us page is the place for them.

However I think OP is talking about the type that is intended to share the current webpage onto the user’s own socials. That wouldn’t fit on Contact Us, except to share the contact us page :-)

Agreed about designers doing what everyone else does, but I’d add to that, that it may be client-driven - a lot of clients I’ve worked with see these things on other sites and so assume that they need them too. Even if the designer wanted to remove them, the client would likely insist 😁

Always preferred Hartbeat to Art Attack. Buchanan was just a bit creepy. Plus, no Morph.

Also, was there not a story that those jumpers NB wore cost about £300 or something?

How about Heineken?

And an idea I could absolutely see Musk hoping to copy, turning Twitter into a US version of WeChat.

Completely agree. It’s really frustrating, not to mention pretty off-putting regarding Linux.

Because every conversation on here that involves Windows will ALWAYS end up with someone saying, “Use Linux”.

According to Google image search those are Molly White, and Garbage Day by Adam Bumas. Just in case anyone wonders :-)

Oooooh, oobidoo!
I wanna be like you-oo-oo!
I wanna walk like you!
Talk like you!
Scoo-doo-bidoo!

Not sure, but I was once (un?)fortunate enough to witness what happens when a bear was faced with an orangutan.

I don’t disagree, but I wasn’t really talking about care homes, I was talking about treatment, operations, maternity care, etc.

All fair points - but the fundamental point about people getting access to free healthcare has remained so far.

Just on the free healthcare thing - in the UK, the NHS is hugely iconic national institution, and politically it’s almost a no-go area in terms of its founding principles.

Which is not to say that privatisation hasn’t been creeping into the NHS for some time - it has, starting in earnest with the Thatcher governments on the 80s.

However, no matter how right wing a party is, it would be almost political suicide to make an all out effort to remove the basic tenet of the NHS - universal care, free at the point of delivery.

Unfortunately, what’s tended to happen since the 80s is (IMO) a managed decline of the NHS, with layers of management brought in and services allowed to decline in quality and availability.

The result is that the public do start to question the model, see the NHS as second rate, and start to lose some of that loyalty towards it.

However, it will take some time to ever get to the point where a government or any stripe is safe to even talk openly about moving away from the NHS model.

And hopefully that point will never come, and instead the NHS will be given renewed commitment and support both from government and the wider public.

It really is one of the very best things about the UK, and were we ever to lose it, it would be a criminal dereliction of duty by those into whose care it has been passed.

That would have worked if you hadn’t stopped me.

Yeah, likewise, it’s a beautiful piece of work, genuinely inspiring.

And yeah, it was a fabulous experience to see it on the big screen. It was part of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and I’m so glad I caught it 😁

Yay, I was going to say The Farthest too! Amazing doc, that I was lucky enough to see at the cinema, with the director present to talk about it afterwards.

Highly recommend.

I’m not ‘admitting’ anything, I’m confirming it though. And again an anecdote is fine, when you’ve said that something “never” happens.

This is kind of a side answer, but it might be interesting.

Trump is imposing these tariffs on goods imported to the USA, and he keeps calling them reciprocal tariffs - in other words he’s only doing it because other countries are doing the same to the USA.

But this isn’t even true.

The way they have worked out which countries’ goods should have tariffs, and how much they should be, is actually based on the balance of trade between the USA and each other country. In other words the difference between how much the USA imports from a country and how much it exports to that country.

He (or rather, his goons) have looked at those numbers and applied a formula and come up with a number for what the tariffs should be for each country. So any country where they are selling more to America than they are buying from America is being “punished”.

And yet, those countries have not necessarily done anything wrong - they have made their products, and people in America have chosen to buy them. It’s not their fault that Americans like what they make, more than their own people like what America makes.

Also even countries like my own (UK) are subject to tariffs despite the fact that we actually do buy more from America than we sell to them.

It makes no sense at all, and it makes you wonder whether this notion of “punishing” countries which have supposedly done America wrong, isn’t just some bullshit he’s spreading while doing it for other reasons.

Although you probably don’t have to wonder for long. It is.

Whether that’s political gain, or undermining the world economy at Russia’s behest, or even just making a quick buck by causing the markets to crash, having previously shorted the stocks, is hard to say. But it ain’t the reason he’s saying, because reason is there none.

[The above is my understanding of the situation, but happy to be corrected as required]

Anecdote is valid when someone has employed the term “never”.

Yeah that’s pretty much spot on.
