Did that feel good? Now make a list of things that make the US a developed nation rather than a “third world country”.

Yes it is true that with improvement in maternal/fetal survivability modifiable lifestyle factors drastically dominate life expectancy. However that's a throw away line to disregard significant differences. It's basically zoo

The worry is that it will take many generations of significant investment back into the Dalit communities to bring them into parity with the rest of the Indian population. That even after the investment the longterm epigenetic effects from

Not barely plausible at all. For my epigenetic comment - Here is a relevant paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579375/ And secondly, low SES populations have much higher rates of psychiatric

There are 200+ million Dalits in India. These are the people which were previously called “untouchables”. I work in medicine, many Indians work with me and most are Brahmins with a few Christian Malayali from Kerala. I think the Malayali ha

The nation's immigrant population (legal and illegal) hit a record 43.7 million in July 2016, an increase of half a million since 2015, 3.8 million since 2010, and 12.6 million since 2000. As a share of the U.S. population, immigrants

The DNA injected is a plasmid with a myosin promoter supposedly introduced via electroporation through the call membrane and then presumably into the nucleus. Successful electroporation of large DNA fragments is difficult (31aa here = 93bp

“According to Vietnam’s official statistics, between 1955 and 1975, the Soviet Union provided Vietnam with, among other things, 1,357 missile launching systems, more than 18,300 missiles of different types, 316 fighter jets, 52 warships, 21

This is standard Russian propagated nostalgia. Romania was a poor corrupt vassal state of the USSR. The working class did not have control of Romania, Nicolae Ceaușescu did from 1965-1989 as the general secretary. The 1980’s in communist Ro

I know what you mean but exposure to a virus is different than being “infected”. We’re exposed every day to many different viruses and other pathogens which are destroyed by our immune system. Infection implies that the pathogen is successf

So he needs to provide proof but you don’t? It’s fine for you to use a slippery slope argument and straw man combined but he needs citations? Interesting.

For sure. Local politicians may lose elections based on how they deal with this minority “visible” population. Efforts to put up more low income housing would help a different cohort that resides under the same umbrella.

by Pigalowda 5y ago
For sure. It’s definitely a good thing to provide subsidized housing for the poor. Poverty mitigation is wonderful! But I believe the public wants the visible homeless cared for in a more responsible way.

These policy experts need to sit down with social workers, case managers, ER and psychiatric center physicians and staff. The most visible homeless people that are the jarring entropy in American cities are always going to be the low functi

Sure it certainly could be. Whether the account is shilling or shit posting doesn’t really matter though. Either one isn’t a good faith interaction.

That profile lists it as a “50 cent Army member”. The profile is not really a good faith interactor.

This would be another pretty aggressive escalation. Could Ukraine even man/store/supply/protect 30 jets? What is the risk/benefit here? It’s only day 2 of this pronouncement, i wouldn’t be so quick to identify “true face

In my opinion the US owes it to our Afghan collaborationists and to Ukraine refugees to take them in. Our existence and foreign policy is partly responsible for the upheavals in these places. Hopefully these people can make it in alright

Not a bad idea! There’s been plenty of friends and colleagues that have asked me to look over their work emails in order come across as professional or least likely to generate conflict. Might be nice to lazily respond to people and the pro
