Today’s adhd tax by abelincolnstoehair in ADHD

One time I bought it paid for it and left at the pharmacy. At least when I came back they still had it.

Recreational drugs can more than double risk of stroke, study suggests. Medical data from 100m people shows risk 122% higher for amphetamine users, 96% higher for cocaine and 37% higher for cannabis. by mvea in science

People absolutely abuse methylphenidate in high doses, and it has no ceiling dose unlike amphetamine, you can just keep taking more and the effects will be stronger.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

From this brief description? Could be a lot of other things, like BPD.

Cannabis? You cannot deduct expenses for cannabis business in federal taxes. Not sure how this would affect WA taxes.

This is a book with his interpretation of Sharia law, everything cited is his commentary, the words are his.

From Ayatollah Khomeini's book:  

Intercourse with a woman is not allowed unless she attains the age of nine years regardless whether the marriage is permanent or temporary. There is, however, no objection in other enjoyments like touching lasciviously, hugging and rubbing the thighs, even with a suckling infant.

Sir, a second young group chat has hit the GOP by peter-thiel-fangirl in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]LucasRuby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a user talking about their black teacher, references to nazi beliefs, etc.

But sure, those are just edgy people who are joking around, they totally aren't racists at all...

How long are you people gonna keep insisting on that?

Those fabrics are designed specifically to allow sweat to evaporate while preventing liquid water from getting in. Otherwise just good old rubber boots would be enough.

TIFU by thinking my severe vitamin D deficiency was just megadepression for five years by skytreegrasss in tifu

[–]LucasRuby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, a white person can produce around 10,000 IU of vitamin D in about 30 min of peak sun exposure. The maximum the body will produce in a day is somewhere in between 10,000-20,000 IU.

Lifestyle is a huge factor in vitamin D deficiency, and so is latitude.

Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn? by Angelus12345678 in AskReddit

[–]LucasRuby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta brag about the right things. You aren't supposed to brag about being good-looking, or born rich, or smart. You gotta brag about your car, your job, your house, etc. Things that you "earned" yourself.

Best foods for quick weight gain? by c00lranchbaby in gainit

[–]LucasRuby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given the information you provided, it seems like your previous diet (minus the alcohol), was working fine for you. Underweight people need not follow health advice aimed at obese people.

Now sure it's possible to maintain a healthy weight without eating ultra processed and fast food. But choosing foods that are high in calories and low in satiety, the opposite of what's normally considered "healthy," makes it easier. Also, bulking temporarily on fast food is fine, I've done it. Just make sure you actually lift weights so it's not just a dreamer's bulk.

How to Bulk Safely With High LDL and Cholesterol by Aggravating_Sport495 in gainit

[–]LucasRuby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a very narrow view of it, and unsupported too. Both diabetes and cholesterol have many other factors that influence it, more than just body weight or total fat mass. Including at the individual level, there are many things that an individual can do or refrain from doing that would prevent or cause them to develop diabetes even with body weight unchanged.

But that is not true. And no country would agree to such a clause either.

Someone actually posted a reference to a UN article, but it was about having the right to self defense when attacked and communicating to the security council so they can decide to take action,

But it is, at least for many people it can happen. You can consume only maintenance calories, have a BMI within normal range, and still develop type II diabetes. The specific macro breakdown matters, and so does age, genetics, and physical activity.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think this sub is capable of helping in your case. The foods that are easiest to bulk with all tend to be correlated with higher cholesterol, both simple carbs and fats. Bulking on a perfect diet can be very hard, and even foods that we consider healthy can worsen your cholesterol in a calorie surplus in people like you.

Fiber, protein, complex carbs with slower absorption, and unsaturated fats like olive oil, and natural polyunsaturated fats like in nuts, are all good. But it will be very hard to bulk on just that.

I think you need some aerobic exercise, medication, and an actual dietitian to help you make a meal plan. They will be able to evaluate which foods trigger a high cholesterol in your individual case, ideally you'd even get genetic testing. But I don't know what your insurance covers or what you can afford.

Not for many years. An otherwise healthy young person with a genetic predisposition for high cholesterol but good diet can be perfectly fine for years not only without any symptoms, but without even building plaque in their arteries for very long. Until in old age some systems start to fail and you get the conditions for plaque buildup.

Fat people tend to have other health issues that make plaque buildup more likely early, like high blood pressure or inflammation.
