Reply to comment by NerveOk6614 in Study shows new method of clearing toxins associated to Alzheimer’s disease - Commonwealth Union by gold79
True but with the rising rates of AD they may have to speed things up, unfortunately it seems like regulatory authorities only focus on drugs and not the overall picture

I literally said it lowers your risk of it, not that it cures it.
I think this study is great, but the drugs are likely a long way off.

Exercise no doubt helps in blood circulation and studies have shown it does help, but pollutants are also known to be a factor for AD, do you think exercise alone can heal AD?

This is great. Keep in mind that exercise and consistent, good sleep is a proven way to "clean" these plaques away that already exists and is available. In other words, exercise lowers your risk of Alzheimers.

That is due to athleticism, not skill.

Surely, the conjoined twin did not return from the hospital, after a successful separation surgery. It would cease to be a conjoined twin, but rather an individual twin.

Reply to comment by TopCheesecakeGirl in The Netherlands' modern day Robin Hood helping tenants fight greedy landlords by scudobuio
Yeah, although it's up to the tenants to make sure it's enforced, this is definitely a great example of when government influence is a positive thing. It's not very capitalist of us, but definitely better for everyone in the long run.
I for one am always glad to have so much be governed and regulated by our government and the EU. Even though it does put limits on some liberties, in general I can easily see how it's influenced my life way more positively than negatively. Protection from bad actors such as these landlords is a great example of it.
Coming from that, it was baffling to learn how anti-government some western countries such as the USA are. Some think that is liberty, but it's the opposite; the average citizen has so much more potential over here because there's always a safety net, exceptions notwithstanding.

Reply to comment by Vermaxx in Top lawyers defy bar to declare they will not prosecute peaceful climate protesters by je97
"What difference does a single grain of sand make?" asked every grain on the beach.
Even if the amount Britain contributes doesn't make a difference (and if you had IVs of poison dripping into your veins, don't tell me you would leave one on just cause it wasn't the one dripping the most), Britain's actions make a difference. Countries look to other countries as examples. Countries feel pressure from the actions of other countries. Britain might not make the biggest difference, but they can set an example.
Or Britain can sit, lazy as a turd on a log, and do nothing because "why should I be the first one to do a good thing? Why should I stop doing a bad thing if someone else is doing it worse?" and let everyone else feel comfortable pointing at everyone else instead of doing anything, and we can all go down pointing.
So no, Britain isn't going to solve the climate crisis on its own. But asking it to stop being part of the problem isn't crazy.

How’s the right going to explain when India’s poor have better education and score higher than kids in most states?

Sometimes we humans can’t control what happens to us, whether it is good or bad. The surgery worked, one twin is home and, God willing, the second twin will be coming home soon! We need to take the Blessings when we get them! Pray for the second twin to be strong enough to go home soon! Think “Positive” to help this along.

By all poverty metrics measured and tracked by the UN, educating young girls is THE most EFFECTIVE way to combat poverty. This is true regardless of religion, social status, etc.

I imagine only sharing the liver was one of the luckiest situations a pair of conjoined twins could ever expect.

Seems cruel in comparison to just having them be born without this unnecessary complication in the first place.

Big respect for India regarding combat poverty.
- I worked on a documentary about a central kitchen that can supply thousands of meal for free every day.
- I worked on a documentary about their Sikhs communities. They also cook free meals for thousands of people every single day too.
Never seen that kind of support anywhere in the world

Wow! That is very delicate surgery. Glad both twins survived and they are on their way to recovery. I know many prayers were said for these two precious girls! God was listening! One is home and, hopefully soon, her sister will be joining her at home. Blessings to both twins for a healthy, happy life!!

Obviously it is not ‘solved’, not yet at least. But poverty levels are dropping so that’s a good sign.

Because they're not as good at said sports.
I guess it's the same reason that most people watch the Premier league instead of div3 or MLS or the Irish league. People usually want to see the best people at a sport play said sport.
Men and women aren't allowed to compete against each other in physical sports for a reason.
Obviously they are both as competitive as each other within their own sport. However, that doesn't put them on an equal skill level.
I am saying this objectively.
Personally, I'll happily watch women's soccer. But most won't, and above is one of the reasons.
