That's arguable. But she did her first blood donation and it took her around 3 hours.

Fasting is a good way to achieve that.

But as far as donating goes, there may be a day you might be the recipient of much needed blood donations.

Had a lady need 12 bags of blood after almost exsanguinating following a really complicated delivery (both survived). She never gave blood before due to fear of needles, but now is a regular blood donor because of the importance of it. She told me to not wait and just start giving.

Time to start donating blood regularly. Someone else will get plastics sure, but they'll need the blood for more pressing reasons.

Apologies if English isn't your first language it's called reading between the lines.

Ill draw it out for you: If people would pay that much (yes insane) money to go to "shit" and mediocre institutions here in the states, what does it say about the options they have locally?

Yup and paying insane amounts of money to get in, too.

True, I would argue though that after a certain amount of time, nobody even cares about the quality, it's the university name on the degree that is truly important.

You can go anywhere on the planet even decades from now and say you're from Harvard (take your pick) and you'll be regarded as a knowledge god even if you were the last in the class to graduate.

Educational quality isn't everything for getting into a good career, it's the reputation, and that is what schools in the US (and a few abroad) have in spades.

Hold on, in advanced education here in my area of the states, almost half the population of students in classes I see are of Chinese or Indian backgrounds and most are here on foreign visas.

If the education is so shit, why are there so many foreign students studying here and paying insane amounts of money to do so.

This guy's pregnant

I love going around in 6 feet of snow without clothes

I never said that and I recognize and I sympathize with their struggle. The Chinese people are fine, the PRC is not.

I said the US is better than China. By what degree better is up for argument, sure. The reason the students are protesting here in the US and being heard, and being discussed on the news and openly here online, is because you and I (and everyone else) aren't in fear that the government will drop police at our door because of this conversation.

I am all for open public debate and discourse, downvotes and all because it's our right to be heard. It doesn't matter where, EU, US, or China.

In the US, I have options on what to do if I feel the government isn't doing the right thing. (Even moving to the EU). You can't say that if you were a citizien living in China.

Where do you think China is on your scale? Oh yes...5/100

US is 10/100...

US > PRC

So. Still better than China. We agree.

EU > US > China

Did you read the article? They're literally voicing their opinion, right there.

Becoming more like China, sure, but saying that means it's not as bad as China. Not a good thing, I agree.

Let's hope not!

I agree it's terrible. Still very far from China.

Having a visa revoked is very different from being thrown into a jail or executed.

They have every right to say that about the US, though, and I am happy they can voice thier opinion. Unlike in China, where the government will happily throw you and your family behind bars for saying something even approaching a bad opinion of government action.

Edit - aww I think I irritated the tankies

Ive never heard of pill hangover, maybe the patient is implying withdrawal symptoms. If it's something like a narcotic pill, oxycodone and the like, then there are medications to treat the withdrawal.

There are also benzos, antidepressants, and other types of "pills" that produce a kind of withdrawal and all of them would benefit some kind of medical intervention.

Home remedies have their place, but some withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening. Advise this person to go the hospital to be monitored.

Honestly, the lottery has been around a lot longer but the idea is the same. Those who know it's a scam don't buy into it, obviously.

That being said, many people still beleive they have the chance and it still brings in a ton of money with a payout to a few and the rest going to the government.

Same bs.

No, not everyone.

Why would memecoins generate any money ever if everyone knew it was bs?

25 mins studying, 5 min break.

Repeat 4 times and on the 4th time it's a 35 min break.

Basically forces your brain to cool off and relax between studying time. You retain better over time but it depends on what you're studying.
