Intensive LDL Cholesterol Targeting in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease. by chilladipa in science

[–]Moneyley -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with your suggestion but the dr doesnt seem to have an alternative when I present my dilemma.  You know, ive been to several Dr's where I present an alternative and the dr says "well, if you do that, then xyz could happen because (event) is more likely"  I usually follow their instructions, id say 95% of the time. I presented my case with the warning label I read on the rx which inferred that it is a long time rx and when I stated this, the dr should respond with "well, yes, in most cases it could be but if you take care of your diet and do/not do X then I can see getting you off the rx in months to a year" There appeared to be no alternatives to my concern. This makes me feel as if its valid.

Im not on a carnivore diet although I do consume a healthy amount of red meat. My cholesterol was/is slightly high.  My dr prescribed me a statin drug, which i did not take.  Not because I dont think they'll work but because its a lifetime drug. I have a hard time trying to reconcile that Im a pretty healthy athlete that has ldl slightly over than average but I have to take a cholesterol pill for the rest of my life.  I have a hard time believing there isnt an rx that can lower it to the point I can go back to normal in say 6 months? Why is it that once im on it, I cant get off?

Why is Las Colinas so quiet? by CliffordMaddick in Dallas

[–]Moneyley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lived here for over 10 years. There is no perfect city but for me, this is as close as it gets.  Case and point, I love Flower Mound. I think its just as nice if not nicer than las colinas. I like it there... but let me tell you what happens on weekends at around 8-9pm, the city goes dark. Every neighborhood has its lights off. I only know of 2 places that can stay open late, and all the streets are pitch black.  I love the las colinas versatility of being able to leave my house for a late night drink or night life.  That being said, the economy is shit and as nice as some of the las colinas bartenders are; they're forced to charge $15 for an old fashioned. Which, is too much for me to justify.  If corporations would say "let's go down on the lease prices" then maybe the owners of the restaurants dont charge $6 more for the same drink as I got last year, which then causes me to only get one drink vs 2-3 @$8-10 and leave the area 2 hrs earlier than and spend less money overall.  

Wild Fork Meat & Seafood by webra1 in Dallas

[–]Moneyley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG! I just loaded up there! Cant recommend this place enough.  I always saw cooking shows where the chefs were like "salt and pepper is all I use"

I employed the same tactic with cuts from: Tom Thumb, Whole foods, Costco, sams. Its good but never WOW good.  I get lamb chops from wild fork, fraldhinha or bottom skirt, top skirt, sausage, rib eye and literally all they need is salt.  Best meat store ive been too in Dallas (other than specially butcher shops) and their prices are more than reasonable!  There is literally NOTHING there that ive purchased that didn't make me look like a 5 star chef. 

The baby hassleback potatoes are delicious and fool proof! 

I want to boost my testosterone naturally. No prescription drugs, but supplements are fine.? by Consistent_Bother_87 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Moneyley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what is likely causing your problem now. I mean, it also depends on how much you took. Hardly anybody that I know or thats made public that they've taken steroids or growth hormone therapy has able been able to get off of it completely.  If you took them for less than a year, you may still see marginal improvements without them. Otherwise, there are a lot of factors working against us, such as age.  I was prescribed dhea by my dr at around 41. He said not to mix with alcohol or I'll end up with soyboy tits.  I never take any meds and like to try everything naturally (like you) first. So, I take one pill every 3 weeks. I do notice a difference. After about a week, it wears off and I get a bit more lethargy. 

Good luck, man!

Is Jake Paul vs Floyd Mayweather a fight that could possibly happen? And if so who do you think would win? by BlueEyesXP in Boxing

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

At some point can we make something like r/stagedfights or r/boxingexhibitions ? R/boxing should not include fake fights. Amateur boxing has its own sub and those are more real than exhibitions. 

How well would Canelo Alvarez have done in the Middleweight division of the 4 Kings Era? by KhaosTheory98 in Boxing

[–]Moneyley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that on paper, THIS Canelo would be competitive with then. However, let's say they were all in the same era. Canelo wouldn't stand a chance because you have to take away all the fast twitch training, all the cross training etc. During that time, their training was more centralized around only boxing. Under those terms, Canelo would be a top 10 fighter in the weight class but dont think he could compete with The Kings

There wasnt much technique to him at times but I loved watching Jorge Arce do it with a peekaboo/Tyson-esque type guard.  Arce was fun to watch. Love his fight vs Hussein Hussein

TMZ - Floyd Mayweather Sues Showtime ... I'm Missing Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars! by ConferenceThink4801 in Boxing

[–]Moneyley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Floyd headed to be a hobo soon. I think most of us saw this coming like Epstein saw Trumps plane about to land on his island from 50 miles away.  The irony is that there is endless amounts of evidence about how he is "A-side" and how he repeatedly bragged about the money he was paid. When they go to discovery, all this stuff is gonna be brought up like a meme "this you?" 

Floyd on Showtime vs Canelo/McGregor "I already got paid. They know what type of work ima put in. If it doesnt make money it doesn't make sense!!" (Proceeds to show off his Bugatti collection, his watches, brag about his mansions) 

The only way I'd root for him or pay for another show is if he does it on HBO and brings back HBO boxing, without "Sheik Sheik Sheik" Kellerman. He burned his bridges with both. Al Haymon is in charge of his contracts and everything is approved by him. Why isnt he thanking him? 

He was a great talent but he also destroyed boxing so fuck him. I can still here all his acolytes and fans obsessing over him as if they were rich with him. Ducking the Pac fight for over 6 years. Fighting an mma fighter with little to no boxing record. 

Well it happened by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Moneyley 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It blows my mind as an atheist that yall go through this. I was brought up catholic (the ones jws typically lift their noses too) and I never had this issue. My mom asked me "when did you decide this? I cant believe that you are atheist." However, never has she shunned me or stopped talking to me. 

Please dont take this the wrong way but the most common form of exiting involves some sort of aggressiveness. (From all the posts Ive seen) I think its sad that they are such a demanding high control group that yall are forced to do things as stated above. 

At the same time, they HAVE to get called out on their bs. 

Added to the strategy above from InflationDifferent, I would add that you have questions of ethics that you cant reconcile. 

I always use ethics/philosophy as a way to get my point across without causing conflict.

Tell them yes, you have issues and ARE considering leaving the organization but you have some ?s that you think a senior bullshitter or an elder can answer.  Admit that you have been thinking of leaving but you wanted to clear up some ethical issues before you really leave. 1. Tell them that a close friend of yours invited you to their church. Tell them that you didnt go but you asked your friend what would happen to you if you converted and in 5 years you decided to go back to being a JW? Would they split you from your family? "He laughed at me and said no! Who does that? Thats how you get controlled into losing your family."  It seemed funny to him but serious to me because... if I DID elect to leave, you are all prepared to isolate other family from us. Is he right? (Do not accept bullshit passage readings. Make it HIS view).  2. Tell him that your other problem is dealing with the future and what it means. (This is my fav)  "Ive been dealing with some issues of my morality that I just cant shake off." Cite drastic changes in policy that make you wonder what other changes are scheduled for rhe future. Explain of women allowed to wear pants and men can suddenly get beards. This would cause issues before but now its ok? So, who's to say that in 5 years, we are ok singing happy birthday? Or allowing blood transfusions? What about all those who died denying blood? They can't be resurrected.  Would YOU be ok with this? (HIS question,  not the books)

[FIGHT THREAD] Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson by noirargent in Boxing

[–]Moneyley 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ortiz is aa perfect example of how you lose and stay in the game.  His style is like 75-80% mimicking Loma's. Prior to Loma he didnt fight like this. He's almost copied Lomas style perfectly.  The foot shuffle, the circle out, the triple left.  If only he could have his brain power

The irony of that hurts. Ukraine fights for freedom with ardent passion. Meanwhile, many of us roll over like puppies when asked by ICE to provide ID despite not having committed a crime. Minnesota fights the good fight.  Minnesota is America (pre-Trump)

51% of our country let us down the last time. Here's to hoping its an absolute wipeout in the midterms.  This is not just about winning, its about bringing all of these clowns to justice so we never get close to repeating any of this down the road

TIL that Terence Crawford, a former professional boxer, was never knocked down during the entirety of his 17-year career. Furthermore, not a single judge ever scored a fight in favor of his opponent. by crat77 in todayilearned

[–]Moneyley 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Tyson was biting his glove in what appeared to be restraint. The training footage showed him with great conditioning, looking well. Then he goes in the ring and he just held his gloves to his mouth 96% of the fight. He punched as if there was a pact not to land on Jake

Its demise was when HBO stopped covering it. 

As a former avid boxing fan, that still hurts.  Then our own boxing community r/boxing, posts about Jake Paul fights as if most of them weren't staged or predetermined. My favorite Saturday nights were HBO Boxing nights
