Position element at the bottom of container without flex or position absolute
I'm trying to make a component that uses both a background color for half of the component and
an image for the other half, with the image acting as an element with a margin. The problem I'm having is that I cannot use display flex to space elements correctly in the content area, it breaks the component with the current solution I'm using and I have no idea why.
I'm specifically trying to position .service__link at the bottom of .service__content. I've tried using paddings/margins to get it in place, but at smaller screen sizes it ends up overflowing out of the box.

What is going on when display: flex is added to .service__content?
Also, if anybody has a better idea of how to make this component in general I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
