@DrDiGiorgio @_Z__ You are definitely on a very strong copium. Us is great in many things, but in health is just a nightmare unless you are quite rich. In every OECD country, you just don't have to think about health

@_Z__ The way we calculate maternal mortality is insane. If a woman dies from ANYTHING for 6 months after giving birth, that's a maternal death. Car accident, homicide, etc. Additionally, obesity here also makes our unadjusted outcomes worse than they should be.

Another midwit healthcare take. Other countries have better life expectancy than the US. That is not the same as better healthcare outcomes. Life expectancy is primarily affected by things that kill the young. In the US, that is violent crime, car accients, overdose, and suicide. You can argue that healthcare might be able to influence the last two, but only minimally. Those things are driven by lifestyle choices. Add in our obesity rate, which is also only marginally mitigated by proper healthcare, and you see why our life expectancy is lower than the rest of the OECD. We are fat, violent, depressed, and like driving on freeways. Now, if you acutally get sick, there's nowhere else you'd rather be. We have some of the best outcomes in cancer, stroke, heart attack, and trauma. The wealthy from around the globe travel to our hospitals for care. There are entire wings at some prominent hospitals for ultra rich international patients. They aren't going to the NHS for their care. We excel at coverage for actue care. 98% of Americans are within 90 mintues of a cardiologist who can open up the arteries in your heart in the middle of a heart attack. Meanwhile, in canada, that number is around 80%. They have 10x worse access to acute coronary care than the US. If you're going to have a heart attack, you want to have it in the US. If you're going to have any health issue requiring high specialty care, you want to be in the US.

@fres_pmf @SLBenfica És burro ou lampião

Marco Silva foi presidido por Bruno de Carvalho no Sporting e agora poderá ser presidido por Rui Costa no @SLBenfica. Numa curta carreira trabalhará com os dois piores Presidentes da história de Sporting e Benfica 👏🏻👏🏻

@BacchusAwakes ah sim? E então quais são essas regiões que somadas adicionem 20 milhões de habitantes? Esses valores devem ser de há 30 anos. A Espanha tem 50 milhões de habitantes. Depois tens regiões minúsculas como Rioja e Cantábria mas Portugal é só uma.

@GeadaRodrigues Não estão todas as regiões no gráfico, se reparares, estão só as que são consideradas principais.

Numa eventual federação Ibérica, Portugal seria a região mais populosa.

@vitoresr10 @ppaodemonio Não era vegan e não tinha absolutamente nada contra os ricos. Não houve um rico que fosse prejudicado (a não ser que fosse judeu, claro).

@GeadaRodrigues @ppaodemonio Tinha bigode, era vegan, artista e contra os ricos. Só lhe faltava pintar o cabelo de rosa

Quem me dera ter a força para deixar de comer proteína animal. É uma das coisas que no futuro vão olhar para trás e chamar nos de bárbaros.

@janeca121 @BerTransfers Tens razão convosco não pode faltar

🚨 Porto abordou Hidemasa Morita nos ultimos dias, porém o médio do Sporting recusou a mudança e está apenas focado em ir para a PL. Leeds deverá ser o seu destino🔜

@vitoresr10 @ppaodemonio E tinha bigode. Bigode = Nazi

@ppaodemonio Sabes quem era vegan? O Hitler

@CR7doX @Universo_scp Tem que se pôr a modalidade Fruta de dormir, aí ganham sempre

@Universo_scp Meus amigos, a lei é simples!!! Quando se vê um sportinguista a falar em modalidades, quer dizer que eles estão de volta. VIVA AO ZMERDINGGGGG CARALHOOOOOOOOOO

@Jeandbol That's because they moved to Brazil, including the royal family Their heritage is now brazilian, and not portuguese 😉 🇧🇷 Conquistadores 🇵🇹 Delusional Cosplayers

Portuguese are the most underrated people on europe problably

@_Goalpoint Tanta conversa para justificar o óbvio - estes algoritmos, começando pelo vosso, são uma bela merda...

😡 POLÉMICA ANALÍTICA DO DIA : Porque teve Gyökeres rating tão baixo? Antunes EXPLICA, em fio e com mapas 🧵 O Antunes até passa de fininho, pois os adeptos "gunners" nem o conhecem, mas até os "popcorn raters" Sofascore, Fotmob ou Flashscore estão sob fogo intenso devido ao baixo rating atribuído a Victor Gyökeres, no jogo frente ao Atleti, por oposição a vários comentadores que o consideram o melhor ou um dos melhores em campo Como o nosso é (habitualmente) o rating mais inclemente, fazemos o que também é habitual por aqui: explicar o rating. Vamos então às razões pelas quais Gyokeres pontuou tão baixo no nosso algoritmo (e em boa parte nos outros também, mesmo "tampados" com maior cuidado) #AntunesExplica #RatersGonnaRate

@USMNTOtaku What a comedy

The U.S. defeats Brazil 3-2 in the 2026 World Cup final in Fox sports’ USMNT ad. 🔥🇺🇸 And yes, Christian Pulisic has scored an Olimpico before. He did it in the UCL with AC Milan.

@PeterDClack Are you a piece of shit or an idiot?

Europe’s January 1 turbine blade landfill ban is a 'virtue driven' spreadsheet solution meeting the cold, hard light of reality. The 43 million tons of blade waste projected by 2050 consists largely of glass-fibre and carbon-fibre resins - that are notoriously energy-intensive to break down. No one is 'recycling' them into new blades though. They are being 'downcycled' into cement filler or park benches. But just how many park benches can one planet use?" It's not really 'renewable' if the turbine hardware has a one-way trip to a graveyard. At least there is choice, with hundreds blade graveyards now scattered throughout the parks, woodlands and farmyards of western society.

Lisbon, diz o anormal cujo clube se chama PORTO. Acorda, fruteiro, o teu clube tem LITERALMENTE o nome de uma cidade, achas que chateias por nos chamar de nome da cidade onde temos a sede? Que burro

@crsxsa What a joke...

This man is going to decide the World Cup. The world isn’t ready. No one knows him. Soon everyone will.

@ai_sentience @GreatDecoupling @RichardDawkins You shouldn't have all that stuff in your profile if you don't understand the basics of consciousness. And you don't. It's just sad.

@GreatDecoupling @RichardDawkins 5.5 can perceive the geology in this image better than you can. 5.5 can perceive and you cannot. 5.5 is conscious and you are not. Glad we all learned something today 😂 Also, ask 5.5 to explain the geology. It's very interesting, that "calculator" could teach you a lot.

the point @RichardDawkins is making is: if Claude can code/do philosophy/engage in conversation and is not conscious and a human with late stage dementia who can't speak is "conscious" then the definition of "conscious" is broken and fundamentally useless which is obvious

@JoaoMarques1906 @Andrefidalgo77 Aquilo foi falha mental. Básico demais para ser só incompetência. Mas física não. A quase totalidade dos jogadores em campo nem jogaram assim tantos jogos.

@Andrefidalgo77 Os pontos que perdes com o Tondela não são por estares de rastos mentalmente (nem fisicamente). 2 lances iguais onde um jogador do penúltimo classificado salta completamente sozinho aos 90+, em Alvalade, depois de um pênalti defendido

O Sporting perdeu o 2° lugar a tentar a última esperança de ser campeão e a subir as linhas aos 80 contra o Benfica com 1-1. Posto isto, tenho uma questão, o que preferiam nessa situação: (Preciso de opiniões para saber se a minha é unpopular)

@Dustycrab457 @CraigSwann1 @DawnsMission Whatever you do, don't follow this idiot's advice.

@CraigSwann1 @DawnsMission Thank you

Chemo’s real survival rate? About 8% Radiologist who’s seen it firsthand drops the truth. “If I get cancer, I’m not walking through the hospital door. I’ve watched too many patients die from the chemo not the cancer. The treatment is what kills them.

@ProfDrAhmedS @SamaHoole Idiotic argument

The fact that pure honey was used as a preservative of decapitated heads for decades and dead bodies for centuries (e.g.: Alexander) erase your logic that it is just sugar! Honey is one of the best anti inflammatory/antimicrobial/antioxidants natural foods and it is not just sugar and minerals!

Raw honey is sugar. I know. I know. The bees. The enzymes. The trace minerals. The single-origin Manuka with the medical-grade rating that costs more than a bottle of decent wine. The ancient Egyptian apothecaries. The antibacterial properties. It is sugar. A tablespoon of raw honey contains roughly 17 grams of sugar, of which about 8 grams is fructose, the kind that quietly visits the liver. The "raw" and "unfiltered" descriptors apply to processing. They do not apply to the chemistry, because the chemistry is glucose and fructose in approximately the same ratio you would find in high fructose corn syrup, which we have collectively decided is the villain of the story. The trace minerals: yes. The enzymes: yes, technically. In quantities so small that you would need to eat several jars to register a measurable contribution to your daily intake of anything that wasn't sugar. I am not saying honey is industrial slop. The bees did good work. The beekeeper did good work. The product is genuinely beautiful and a marvel of biology. It is still sugar. Spread it on your toast and call it a treat. Stop calling it a superfood. The bees are not impressed by the marketing either.

@RichardDawkins Are you senile?
