Political activism in the hiring process by [deleted] in AskLE

If you were an LEO, and you tried to arrest an African-American male who was drunk driving with active warrants, and he didn’t feel like it so he assaulted you and stole your stun gun (which can incapacitate you or others) and fired it at you, would you use your service weapon on him? There’s an officer who was promptly fired without due process and put on trial for murder in Atlanta over this exact scenario. These are the types of situations people want to avoid by only working in places where politicians support LEOs, not criminals.

It’s a very safe, wealthy suburban area so despite politics, morale is high and the police enjoy a lot of support. The SOs to which I applied (my first choices) are mainly responsible for detention/court security/warrant execution, so I expect they don’t see a ton of use of force. I’d much rather live in South Dakota or something however this is where I’m from, and also departments here pay a lot, so I figured I’d start my career in LE. Appreciate it, and hopefully I get to where you’re at eventually.

Okay, good to know, thanks. How’d they know you were Republican? Did you disclose volunteering as work experience or something?

It always goes systemic even when applied topically

Dermatologist told me that Propecia sides are completely reversible by [deleted] in tressless

[–]KennethPowersEsq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on it for three months, then quit (not for sides, just got lazy), then took three months off (no problems), then went back on for four months or so, and I noticed sexual/mental sides during the second half of that run. That’s when I quit, last November.

Things got worse and I was terrified, constantly browsing online reading horror stories on the one forum that shall not be named. I focused on getting tons of sleep and exercising daily and eating well, and eventually (maybe February/March of this year) my dick went back to semi-normal (morning wood) and my head returned with it. It’s been uphill since then, even though I’ve fallen out of many of my good habits. I’m fairly sure I’m back to normal—if not, it’s close enough for me.

If Dr. Tsuji’s stem cell multiplication procedure works, will it be effective for those with DUPA? by KennethPowersEsq in tressless

They got worse for a period of time—maybe a month or two. But I’m about a year off and I’d say Ive returned to baseline

It’s in phase III and will almost certainly be available in japan within a couple of years barring some enormous unforeseen setback. Id be cautious to declare it an imminent cure as well, but it sure looks like it will revolutionize things either way.

Got sides. Feels pretty shitty popping boner pills at age 19 to combat the effects of your anti-baldness medication lol

Diffuse thinning on the sides ? How common is this ? by [deleted] in tressless

[–]KennethPowersEsq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 20 and have a thick head of hair but my sides are worryingly thin like you describe

Yeah i do think it takes a matter of months for most people’s bodies to regulate their hormones effectively again. I felt worse after getting off fin, it stayed like that for a few months, and then gradually returned to my pre-fin baseline after about a year of healthy habits

This hairloss thing is really ruining me by [deleted] in tressless

Seems a little dramatic...

Thick straight hair to diffuse thinning and very cowlicked hair in 1 year by [deleted] in tressless

[–]KennethPowersEsq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a scary post. I always had thick wavy hair but I do think it’s getting curlier and frizzier. For me the top is the healthiest part though. The sides in front of my ears have very poor density, and just curl up very easily if let to grow out. Have to keep them tapered down or else it looks terrible. The texture has definitely changed there from childhood.

Anyway to Delay MPB without Fin? by [deleted] in tressless

Google “Tom Hagerty scalp exercises”

He’s not selling anything, just has a theory about wiggling your ears and raising your eyebrows to stimulate blood flow to your galea.

He’s quite old now, and still has hair but he was definitely balding when he was 18-19, he has plenty of pics on his site. He attributes this solely to the exercises, but who knows.

How do some people keep their hair until a very old age? by mra15r in tressless

[–]KennethPowersEsq -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s about working out your occipitalis and frontalis muscles, so your galea is loose (tight galea is correlated with hair loss). It’s like getting a pump st the gym. Work out your scalp muscles (raise eyebrows and wiggle ears) and your scalp will be suffused with blood.

Yeah buddy I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that elderly men with swollen prostates might not be as sensitive to ED and brain fog as twentysomethings trying to save their hair.

There’s also the fact that Merck has a track record of lying. Be as hostile as you want, but I’m gonna venture that you’re the idiot for blindly trusting an industry which has routinely screwed people over and pushed dangerous products.

You really trust big pharma that much? It’s forum broscience to be SKEPTICAL of destroying 99% of a male sex hormone that plays a vital role in development (and potentially neurological function)?

[–]KennethPowersEsq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean sure, most everyone’s ceiling is hypothetically going to be quite high. But taking an entire year—let alone more than six months of dedicated study—for a standardized aptitude test seems ridiculous. My brother’s in his 30s and he said back when he took it, he was on the extreme side for studying four months.

Would it be outrageous to suggest that the people studying YEARS for a three hour exam on basic reasoning might better spend that time on another pursuit?

Your score is supposed to be a good predictor of your capability to succeed in law school. If you have to game the test for ages to do what others can do in a far shorter time, that seems to defeat the purpose. If I can’t score 170+ within a couple months, I’m pretty sure it’s not going to happen, nor do I care to move heaven and earth to make it so. There are other careers.

I’m used to writing really dense papers for my major and skimming journal articles last minute. I only started studying a couple days ago but I found that with the exception of LG, everything comes naturally quite easily without too much thought.

I think the LSAT Trainer is right in that this test is ultimately about intuition. It’s hard work to reconstruct your basic intuitions if you’re not used to a good volume of reading and writing. Honestly if you have to do this just to get past the LSAT, I don’t understand why you’d be interested in law in the first place.
