Serious question: when and in which contexts did calling people "individuals" emerge as a common practice, as a synonym for people? Or "an individual" for "a person"?

I ask because I'm noticing it in student writing, and I associate it with police-speak. I don't know if it's in some corners of social science or medicine too

I'm making the transition to Linux slowly. So I'm using more LibreOffice (instead of Excel) and QGis.
Today I had a problem with LibreOffice and I asked for help here. In half an hour I had a lot of shares and 3 persons trying to help me out and asking follow up questions. One of the solutions worked right away. Thanks 🙂

#LibreOffice question: I have a *.csv file with dates and numbers. How can I stop the number auto format in LibreOffice (version 7.6.6.3)? It transforms the decimal numbers (such as 0.1) in entire numbers (such as 1).
Office also changes the numbers in its own annoying way, but I'm really trying to use LibreOffice more.
I'm adding pictures of the screens I have in WordPad, how I imported the data in LibreOffice, how it appears in LibreOffice Calc and in Excel.
Edit: solved! Thanks @elrohir !!

Import options in LibreOffice Calc
Numbers in LibreOffice without the zeroes in blue. For example 0.212 has become 212
Excel spreadsheet in which numbers has become dates (with different years)

Me encanta la diversidad de acentos que se ve en este mapa, pero me estresa que parece haber sido hecho por pedazos: la leyenda está regada por todo el mapa y los colores no muestran afinidades de algun tipo en todo el mapa. El acento del centro de CR se parece al acento de Bogotá (Col) por ejemplo.

Hola seguidumbre, hoy les vengo con la encuesta del día

RickiTarr, 5 days ago to random

I have a big group chat with my a large amount of my real life friends, then smaller groups out of that group that have particular interests:

One is for the people who live locally to plan activities.

One is for art, but maybe the kind of art that not everyone would want to see.

One for BBQ and cocktails.

One where we talk about terrible home renovations and shit exes.

One specifically for handyman information and planning if someone moves or needs help with a project.

One where we seem to mostly talk about cute dogs, and often cheese.

Plus individual chats.

But now I'm wondering who has chats without me, do they have a secret chat where everyone talks about how I'm in everyone's business?!

If you wash and dry a load of laundry, you also have to be prepared to fold it, and put it away. It's not really helping otherwise.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

Me a few years ago: "I don't like vegan food"

Me now: "I don't like vegan versions of food I already dislike (bland, raw, salady, health food things)"

I've found exceptional and flavorful vegan Mexican food that I love!

"Hijo de su Madre" in LA, "Om Sabor" in SF

Basically I like thoughtful vegan versions of cuisines I already like, and I will always stay away from 'health food' things even though sometimes the overlap drives me nuts (I really dislike health food and culty woo woo things)
