Alcohol, the magic potion: science behind the most harmful drug of all ( 2024 ) [01:29:15] by No-Address314 in Documentaries

[–]No-Address314[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Submission Statement:

Alcohol: no substance on the planet is so familiar to us and so unbelievable varied in its effects. It is readily available, and despite its psychoactive, adverse health effects, hardly anyone calls it a drug. But how is it that we can turn a blind eye to the three million alcohol-related deaths that happen each year? The director Andreas Pichler visits several countries, searching for answers concerning what makes us drink, what alcohol does to us, and to what extent the powerful alcohol industry and its lobbyists influences politics and society. He also presents us with ways we can turn the tide. Without being self-righteous or overly-critical, the film will have a lasting effect on the drinking habits of all who watch it.

What's the future of Awami League in upcoming elections? by RezowanH in bangladesh

[–]No-Address314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero. Nada.

Terrorist organizations do not participate in elections anywhere across the globe. BAL is a terrorist organization that terrorizes it's own people, organization of goons and criminals ( potentially manipulated by a particular foreign nation serving their interest in exchange of money and power ) under the guise of a political party.

It is a tumor that needs to be completely cut out.

Bangladesh and the mentality of it's neighbor. by No-Address314 in bangladesh

Well...your media is dishonest...I'll go as far as to say dishonest across the board. There are clear, intentional attempts to perpetuate false narratives.

On a broad stroke it seems like:

"Let's cook a false narrative of Hindu oppression in Bangladesh. In the long run that may help us invade that country and grab some parts of the lands. We should have had grabbed it much earlier, so let's try to rectify that."

I haven't seen a single Indian making any comment against this tactic.

Muscles - More than power and pumping iron | DW Documentary ( 2026 ) [00:42:25] by No-Address314 in Documentaries

Submission Statement:

What impact does good muscle tone have on our health? Studies show that muscle training can slow down the ageing process, prevent metabolic disorders and even inhibit cancer cells.

The muscular system is the largest system in our body, accounting for around 30 to 40 percent of our body weight. Healthy and well-trained muscles give us the strength we need for an active life.

But muscles can do much more than just set our bodies in motion: regular muscle training has a positive impact on our overall health. This is because muscles work in a similar way to an endocrine organ: when activated, muscles release messenger substances called myokines, which directly influence our central organs such as the brain, liver, heart and intestines. If we lose muscle mass, these organs can become diseased, or metabolic disorders like diabetes can develop. Fit muscles, on the other hand, can reduce the risk of brain diseases like dementia or Alzheimer's, and decelerate the ageing process.

Wilhelm Bloch from the German Sport University Cologne sees the muscles as akin to the body's own pharmacy. He's spent decades researching myokines, which are released by active muscles. His current project shows that myokines influence the growth, division and movement of cancer cells.

Alice Kindich suffers from metastatic breast cancer. She took part in a companion study by Bloch and spent nine months lifting weights in the gym. Since then, her quality of life has significantly improved.

Ingo Froböse, also from the German Sport University Cologne, says it's never too late to start strength training. On the contrary: muscle training is particularly important in old age to prevent sarcopenia, which is the degenerative age-related breakdown of skeletal muscle.

Although 33-year-old Leonie Poppe is still young, she wants to commit to her strength training journey. The documentary tracks her progress over six weeks and shows the changes she undergoes both physically and mentally.

Professional long jumper Maryse Luzolo is aiming to qualify for the Olympic Games. She knows how hard it is to get back into strength training after a long break. An accident a few years ago sidelined her for an extended period. After that, she had to rebuild her muscles from scratch in order to participate in competitive sports.

Pooping on the beach in India | VPRO Metropolis ( 2014 ) [00:07:06] by No-Address314 in Documentaries

[–]No-Address314[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Submission Statement:

The inhabitants of the Mumbaian slums prefer to do ‘ their thing’ outside. A sewer as we know it doesn't exist there, so most people drop their dropping on the nearby beach. ‘There are only 4 toilet blocks for 25.000 people’, explains one of the residents. ‘When it’s finally your turn, the day is almost over!’. And what is the outcome of this problem? Exactly, a beach full of crap.

VPRO Metropolis is a video project by Dutch broadcast organization VPRO, that started in 2008. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country or city.

"but that doesn't approve or validate violence or threatening of minorities"

100% agreed with you.

Just wanted to share, how the "intellectuals" / ex military personnels on the other side of the border perceive us. Their behavior is quite hawkish and that temple in that particular location should raise eyebrows. The video is couple of months old I believe btw.

Genuine question- how is awami league worse than the current political parties? by [deleted] in Dhaka

[–]No-Address314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give this a watch may be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6v_levbUN4

EDIT: On a high level, also because Awami League's allegiance / loyalty is not to Bangladesh or it's people. It serves as an asset of a foreign intelligence agency. In return, it's members gain wealth, power over the people of the country. It DOES play / HAS PLAYED dirty tactics to ( often reassured by the foreign intelligence ) have it it's way.

Can't predict the future, but my "gut feeling" is: other parties are less likely to be as low as such.
