According to the sailors who tried it. Not very nice.

Yep, Alabama is shit.

Both things can be true at the same time.

Average life expectancy for men in Russia is 67. More than a decade less than most other developed nations.
Excessive alcohol consumption remains a critical risk factor: estimates suggest 150,000โ€“200,000 annual deaths are attributable to alcohol, approximately 80% of those occurring in men.

Ageing in the brain may be caused by a breakdown in protein production The discovery that brain ageing may be driven by jammed-up protein factories could lead to better ways to help us stay sharp as we get older

Interesting piece of ageing research.

If Trump is still healthy enough in 4 years, he'll attempt the same.

True, but 3 facts remain relevant.
1. The Gazans elected Hamas.
2. Israel elected Netanyahu.
3. The Americans elected Trump.
A democracy is only as ethical, moral, and good as its voters.

Agreed. The 'Master Race' is in process. Planned, initiated and underway. In ye old England they used to be called barons. Today they are called billionaires. No aires about it. We are mere serfs to the lords of the land. The golden rule: "Those with the gold, make the rules."

A lot of Americans may not know this, but Ghislaine Maxwell is from a family of scum. Here in the UK, her father owned one of our largest newspapers back in the 80s. He committed fraud with employees pensions and was known to occasionally pee from the roof of his office over the heads of his staff.

Humans are in the process of creating our replacements. Not for any moral or scientific reasons.
Just for profit.
That is all....
Some ppl will briefly have a lot of power and influence because they did this.
That's all that matters to them.
Consequences are somehow irrelevant to these ppl.

No hamas soldier has ever starved to death. And they run gaza, and control the food.
Israel are being dicks, but why does nobody ever place any blame on the elected government of gaza? It's never the fault of the ppl who spent all of the international aid on tunnels and weapons! Ever!

The left goes too far. The right goes too far.
Can't we just all stop being dicks and learn to communicate and make compromises?
If half of the population are always angry, then perhaps the other half should listen. Regardless of which half that is.

Your Thymus (your immune systems school) is at its peak at 2 years old. It's downhill from there, increasing risks of almost every disease as we grow old. If we could reset it, we would reset many of our currently accepted age-related diseases. #longevity

When they brag about revenues from tariffs they are bragging about what they took from you.

Either covid came from a Chinese meat market or a Chinese lab. I never understood why reps became obsessed with one origin story and dems with the other.
Both options are terrible!

The US is deliberately throwing away its status as a world leader in science. A generation of research is being abandoned and scientists fired. And even if the Democrats try to reverse this if they get in next time, it won't matter. The rest of the world will have taken the lead.

As a Brit, I'll never understand why the richest nation in the world refuses to pay for the healthcare of its people.

โ€œI fell out with Epstein because he stole girls like 16-year-old Virginia Giuffre from my spaโ€ is not the winning argument Trump thinks it is.

#AI is developing at breakneck speed. And we may get #AGI or superinteligent AI very soon. The consequences of this could pose an existential risk to humanity that is more iminent than climate change or nuclear war.
And who will program the morals into it?
Either these guys or the Chinese government
