What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Why is the government destroying the homeless instead of helping them?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

Has anyone experienced an out of the body experience, as a child, years before you had ever heard the term or understood the implications?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
