Fucked my hopes and dreams.

Insulin is worse though because it’s not like it’s a drug that had to be developed and has a billion dollars or more to develop. The case with insulin is blatant price gouging.

This pill, this doesn’t mean it should be as cheap as insulin as the two drugs aren’t equals. It can be priced fairly and still be expensive, we don’t know the economics behind it. Being cheap =/= fair pricing all the time. Like buying a better product that took more to make.

This could still be outrageously priced obviously, but comparing it to insulin is apples to oranges.

Heard about this on the radio yesterday, and looked into it further as we hear about “cancer curing pills” all the time and they usually are nothing. This one does seem to have traction however IF it can make it through human trials. So obviously could mean nothing if it doesn’t pass this phase, and it will be there a long time, but this is very promising news.

I’ll second this. As a transplant of Reddit who used Apollo, Memmy seems to be heavily influenced by Apollo, which imo was an outstanding app.

I also saw all the posts about Sync and had to get caught up. Definitely makes me appreciate this app too.

Agree with most of the changes and overall a good change… but in my opinion the term “organic” as it refers to agriculture is way to overrated.

Well yeah case to case with anything specific is going to be unique, but that is the overall general trend.

This also isn’t one study, it’s a synopsis of lots of data and studies.

Just like you might have the rare 80year old run a 5k, that doesn’t disprove that overall our bodies aren’t physically declining significantly overall by then.

After 20-30 years they don’t add anything as a politician imo. There should be a max of 3 term limits in most political offices on the state and federal level.

You really need me to give you a link to prove that we decline as we age? Really?

That’s also something you could easily google yourself but I have no problem providing some info to you:

More specifically, read the part about “Executive Function”. But the whole thing is worth a read for a good overview.

Agreed.

The power of being an incumbent and having all that money from special interest groups paying you to influence your policies is hard to run against.

Democrat or Republican, why would they walk away from that cash cow? They’re all out for themselves and not for who they represent.

Both him and Biden shouldn’t be in political office, in fact there should be a cutoff and that should be you can’t run after you’re 70. Democrat or Republican people that should be at home retired tending to their garden or fishing shouldn’t be running the country.

It’s scientifically proven your cognitive ability is significantly declining by that age, and not to mention they are almost always out of touch with the modern world we live in.

I have some people here telling me I’m a leftist, and others right.

Guess that kind of proves my point I’m not really left or right
