Just pull the plug on me If India is the last healthcare option

Indian healthcare: Rubbing cow piss and cow shit into your open wounds

I think at that point I'd rather get some Canadian healthcare

She's even brought HHH with her, she knows politics is all about the game and how you play it, it's all about control and if you can take it.

Blumenthal looks like a wax figure that was halfway given sentience but also you left it in the microwave a little to long

Honestly not a winner in frame
The government employees should go on strike in solidarity.

They’re angry their coup against JFK Jr is getting rolled back. Democracy bitches!
 
Being in the oldest Gen Z bracket I can already tell how growing up with the tech from the early/mid 2000s affected my childhood and development
I feel like there's a mini-generation of 1997-2003 or so that are old enough to have lived a life without pervasive internet connection and on-demand dopamine, old enough to have experienced the old-glory wild west Internet as it was but still young enough to have grown up as Web 3.0 became the norm and natively use smartphones/tablets/social media etc.
And not just because I don't want to be lumped in with zoomers and IPad babies either lol.
 
You'd be surprised how quick the tides can turn.
Prediabetes can be put into remission in a matter of months, people who are obese can lose about a 100 pounds in a year, depression and bipolar can take months. This is through metabolic therapies and lifestyle intervention.
The main barrier is implementation and using strategies that actually work. And keeping people consistent (social events, holidays, divorce, death of a loved one, etc can all be triggers for backsliding to old bad habits).
Whether RFK Jr can figure out what interventions will be most effective, and how much influence he can exert on the country as a whole, I don't know.
But I wouldn't be surprised if things did actually get better. Just by looking at grassroots health movements I already know it's possible.
I am convinced that whatever is in the food we have in America is legit making people more and more retarded. Like, actually giving people and more specifically kids mental disabilities. Not to mention the physical health ramifications.
 
Makes me think

USPG2 you have to recive life or death heart surgery, only option is a Mexican or Indian doctor, what we picking and why?

:drink: For Mexican

:optimistic: for Indian
Mexico has some quite good frontier medical research, and unlike India has very good healthcare if you have the money to pay for the top-bracket stuff.
 
Trump's pick for Education Secretary Linda McMahon delivers opening statement at Senate confirmation hearing
I'm not going to lie; I HATED this pick, but her credentials are surprisingly decent and she sure knows how to give a compelling opening statement. I hope she and her team makes American education great again if confirmed.
 
"I'll speak on behalf of my colleagues. I think I can say we are all willing to work with anyone who's serious about doing the work of censoring the American people and advancing progress.
So ... who is this stupid nigger? Is she going to be whipped for saying the dumbest possible thing and giving the right an astonishingly useful sound bite?

Who am I kidding? Of course she's not.

ETA:
If Trump is closing the Dept. of Education, why hire Linda on? As a favor to Vince? Cause yeah, Linda is Vince McMahon's wife. The WWE guy.
Because the federal government still needs someone paying attention full-time to education.

there is 2 nuclear reactors on board that thing
And they're probably the best-protected and secured nuclear reactors ever commissioned on this earth (in terms of biological and physical security). US Naval reactors are the best humanity have ever built, and not just because of their power output, reliability and form-factor, but also because they've got a perfect operational safety record (including for lost subs).

Bear in mind even civilian reactors on land are reinforced to withstand direct airliner hits.

I'm sure the carrier is damaged, but you can be sure her reactors are still purring like kittens.

1999 Zoomer here - can confirm. Have been using computers since I was four, and I remember the "wild west" era. When I see people around my age talking about this stuff, I personally feel like if you don't remember Sparta remixes/Rick Rolling as contemporary memes, or didn't watch Klay World on Newgrounds growing up,* I don't consider you old enough or experienced enough with the Internet to know any better.

* Not that I'm really still a fan of these things looking back.

I'm sure our garbage food full of chemicals doesn't help, but Europe and Canada have much stricter laws about what goes into food and they're equally if not more gay and retarded so it must not be the only factor.
