This @Neko scan will change healthcare. It feels like a spa and takes an hour from the time you walk in to get a scan, bloodwork, strength, body composition, and a consultation with a dr about your results. I went last year and they’ve made incredible progress on the technology already. The first New York City location opens next week. Related

i think the left-wing aspect of indians is due to the fact they are nonwhite AND nonchristian (mostly). this makes them outsiders and so hard to identify with white christian america of which republicans are the party (christian indians were more republican in the past) Quoting @KarthikForTexas As I said. They don’t go after Vietnamese Americans and Cuban Americans because they vote Republican. They’re going after Indian Americans because we are the most left wing because we have the highest graduate degree percentage of all AAPI positions. America Related

Economics writer; author of the Noahpinion newsletter.
Their words
Around the time liberalism gave way to "progressivism", people on the left started being wrong about a ton of stuff. Back in 2010, Democrats were right about maybe 85% of things. Now it's like...30%? With Republicans at maybe 15%?

The Clarity Act cloture vote has failed by a 49–50 margin; well short of the 60 votes needed. No Democrats crossed over to vote for the bill, and three Republicans voted against. Senator Collins’ (R-ME) NO vote on Clarity was the most surprising today. She was defending the bill to constituents as recently as last week. My guess is she did not believe the bill had a chance to pass, and was more worried about defending a yes vote as her re-election prospects look slimmer. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics crypto Related

Polyglot and language coach; teaches translating back and forth from a text as the core exercise.
Their words
In traditional classroom settings, the development of skills often gets overlooked in favor of facts. Facts in the form of conjugation tables, word lists, grammar explanations, the names of verb tenses, and so on. All of these things are related to language, but it’s important to realize that knowing these things has nothing to do with speaking and using a language productively.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
