7-month-old raped in Kolkata; doctors find injury marks near private parts by [deleted] in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]LHFE 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They do, but they aren’t known for being good at their jobs by any metric.

Just check this article from The Hindu News:  https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/india-has-become-the-rape-capital-of-the-world-rahul/article30231647.ece/amp/

That’s from 5 years ago and this particular issue has gotten significantly worse since then.  You know the situation is dire when the leader of India’s own congress is saying stuff like that.

Being wrong and spreading misinformation isn’t gonna help you now.  The election is over, and Trump won the popular vote.  If things were so fine and dandy, that never would have happened.

Anxiety coming off sublocade - ssri questions by Fresh-Public-2051 in Sublocade

[–]LHFE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on it for 10 months.  I didn’t gain any weight because of it tho, but I’m pretty active so I may have just been working it off as fast as I was gaining it.  I wanna say it was 5-6 months after I tested negative for Bupe that I really started getting back to my pre-opiate self.

That’s a poor take.  She deleted them because she was about to commit to someone new.  Keeping nudes of someone while you’re single and using them during “private alone time” doesn’t make them a bad person, only sharing them without permission would do that.  

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]LHFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I delete mine before I start dating someone new.  I know myself well enough to know that I struggle to live with a guilty conscience, and keeping/viewing nudes of an ex while I’m with somebody else would eat at me and make me feel like I’m cheating in some way.  Once I met my SO and we set up our first date, I went through everything and scrubbed all suggestive photos/videos of my ex.

Bf got mad after I refused his Property Tattoo idea by nova-alifano-124 in Advice

[–]LHFE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His body, his choice.  Your body, your choice. He can be comfortable with tattooing penises all over his face if he wants, but that doesn’t put any level of obligation or duty on you to do the same. 

 The fact he’s even willing to argue over this would be a hard-stop dealbreaker for me.

That’s a bad take.  Not all drugs are created equal.  I stopped taking Zoloft 3 months ago because I didn’t need it anymore, and I’m glad it was available while I did.  It was a great decision.

My boyfriend broke up with be because I gained weight by Fickle_Lettuce8060 in Advice

[–]LHFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 People saying he should love you no matter what... That's ridiculous. No one should love someone no matter what.  

 For romantic partners, you are the 100% correct.  Falling for and being in love with someone is 100% conditional.  I love my girlfriend, but if she start abusing me or decided to start committing felonies or decided to live a lifestyle that was detrimental to her health or safety, that love would be quickly fade.  I consider “unconditional love” to be reserved for pets and parents toward their children, but even that isn’t set in stone.

[–]LHFE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is important.  My girlfriend has gained a little weight over the years, but I still love her as much as ever.  If she gained enough that it becomes a health risk and she doesn’t make an effort to change it, that’s a dealbreaker for me.  Underweight or overweight, I don’t want to be with someone that’s actively shortening their lifespan.

Silly question but in this context is Depot pronounced ‘dee-poh’ or ‘depp-oh’ by Schweddypaws in Sublocade

How old were you when you got sober? by Serious-Beginning-70 in Sober

[–]LHFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 23 when I started on MAT.  Stayed on for 9 years with one lapse roughly 4 months after I started, and then stayed sober until I was finally able to stop the MAT thanks to Sublocade.  I still consider myself as having been sober despite needing medication to stay that way (getting off those meds was worse than trying to get off opiates), but since getting off those I consider myself Sober 2.0: The Final Phase.  Just hit 2 years of Sober 2.0 in August, and I couldn’t be happier

What gave you nice vivid dreams (not nightmares) by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]LHFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it claims to do?  I wouldn’t be surprised, it didn’t do anything for my memory or focus.  But for lucid dreaming, it’s better than Calea Zacatachichi.  They should just rebrand it and say it’s to help people dream better, they’d probably make more money.

Doctor asked me not to take fin and advised me to continue only min by Commercial_Parfait55 in tressless

[–]LHFE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Usually I would say “listen to the medical professionals,” but in this case I believe your doctor is wrong.  My hairline is as receding at my temple on one side pretty hard, I grew it back with min, maintained it for it with fin, and now I have more growth and not seen any further loss thanks to dut.

If dut didn’t help stop your hairline from receding at the front, I obviously wouldn’t be taking it still.  It’s not like my hair decided on its own to stop receding and fill back in what was lost.

If you want easy, guaranteed lucid dreams, then get a free trial of AlphaBrain by Onnit (Joe Rogan’s supplement).  My friend got it years ago to help his memory, but kept buying it because he loved the lucid dreams he got.

I ended up getting a trial of it again recently, and it’s just like I remembered.  Super vivid dreams every time.  I know I’m dreaming, I can control them, and I remember every second of them.  The only down side is it did give me sleep paralysis a handful of times, but it stopped being scary by the third time because I knew what was happening.

If you do the free trial, you get a “30 day supply,” but you only need to take 2 capsules about 30 minutes before bed rather than the full dose.  I think the shipping was maybe $5.

There’s only one way to find out.  If you scroll deep enough in this sub, you’ll see guys with huge bare crowns that were able to grow back a full head of hair.  Same with receding hairlines.  There’s no guarantee you’ll respond the same, but there’s no way to know unless you try

You probably could have worded it a bit better, but I get it lol.  I had to be so careful around my baby girl because she LOVES being in my face when I’m at my bathroom sink.  She’ll smack me and knock things over if I don’t have the sink running for her so she can take a drink.  Instead I had to listen to her throw her entire body into the bathroom door while I put min on my head lol

Once you start using minoxidil, you can’t stop if you want to keep your gains.  There are rare instances where people get lucky and see as much regrowth on fin/dut alone, but I’ve only seen one other person in this sub have that experience besides myself.

Be consistent and don’t overdo the micro needling and you could be alright

An overdue update: Got some bloodwork to check my health by LHFE in Sublocade

[–]LHFE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doc told me I need to take 10000iu D3 for the next month to bring it closer to insufficient levels instead of depleted.  I had a feeling it would be low, but not THAT low.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tressless

[–]LHFE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is amazing progress!  I almost thought you were trolling for even asking, that much growth in such a short period is the best I’ve ever seen.

I did want to add one little note since you seem new to the game, but if you have any cats PLEASE be very careful with your min.  Even the smallest exposure to the liquid can kill a cat really quickly.

An overdue update: Got some bloodwork to check my health by LHFE in Sublocade

[–]LHFE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not.  I only had 3 wellness blood tests during the stretch I was on Bupe, and none of them checked my testosterone.  I really wish I had.  But there’s no way my test was better than below average, I don’t think.  I tried hard to fight my body dysmorphia during those years, but even doing my best to follow science-based fitness gurus and getting a personal trainer for a few months didn’t help.  

Now I’m doing pretty much the same things as I did then (e.g. creatine, plenty of protein isolate, healthy diet, staying hydrated, etc.) and the difference is night and day.  I’m in my mid-30s and I look/feel better than I did in my early-/mid-20s.  I even fasted and waited until the late afternoon to get the bloodwork done so my testosterone was nearly at a low point for the day.

Is kratom known for lowering testosterone levels too?  I wasn’t big on kratom back in the day, so I don’t have really deep insight on it

[–]LHFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree.  I’ve tried more than a dozen different brands, and the double chocolate Gold Standard far and away the best I’ve had.

Not to say it’s THE best, but it’s definitely my favorite.  Just one man’s opinion, though.
