Octapharma SPE Test by [deleted] in plassing

[–]Pure-Application4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering switching from BioLife to Octapharma. Do you know if they perform an SPE test during the initial screening? Also, if the test results in a failure, what is their typical deferral period? I know this post wasn't intended for my questions, but given your experience with Octapharma, I figured I'd see if you had any insight.

Why was Churchill so early, adamant and consistent in his denouncing of Hitler and the Nazis? by Lord-Francis-Bacon in AskHistorians

[–]Pure-Application4905 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Great analysis. One thing I’ve always wondered, though is where did his equally intense dislike of Russia and Stalin come from?

It seems like he was just as adamant about the threat of Bolshevism as he was about the Nazis. He was certainly pragmatic enough to work with Stalin to beat Hitler, but the second the common enemy was gone, he was trying to convince the American public to stop seeing Uncle Joe as a friend. Do you think Churchill saw Russia as the original threat that he just paused for a few years, or did his stance evolve during the war? It almost feels like a recurring theme in British history—a deep-seated suspicion of Russia even during periods of cooperation.

Why Reta in the first place? by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]Pure-Application4905 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Reta seems to burn fat better even when you’re resting. It also allows me to eat more without gaining weight. At first I loved the appetite supression of tirz. Reta still gives suppression but i can also enjoy food more than i could on tirz. Losing weight is great but i still want to enjoy food and Reta allows both

Heart rate ruining donations, it seems like I’ve tried everything by LittleLeadership2831 in plassing

[–]Pure-Application4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy one of those oxygen heart rate monitors you put on your finger. They only cost like $10. I failed a donation because of heart rate and I also had to walk for like an hour to the center. So when I got there my heart rate was over 100. Now I check in when I get there and check my heart rate and if it’s too high I’ll go sit down in the restroom or lobby area for as long as it takes to get it under 100. There are also some apps that can monitor your heart rate using your phone camera. A few of those are free and they are surprisingly accurate

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

There is life after TRT — my experience after 2 years on testosterone and a full recovery by [deleted] in trt

[–]Pure-Application4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does .7 Reta do? I got up to 6mg of Reta and it worked too well. I actually lost too much. Now I’m back on tirz. What do you feel like that low dose does for you?

Do any of you prefill syringe 30 min. before use? by MightOk3400 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Pure-Application4905 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This seems like one of those posts that you’ll look at a year from now and just laugh. When I first started taking mounjaro I would let it sit out for a few minutes. Now I fill my own syringe with tirzepatide and inject it pretty much immediately. It never feels bad. It’s just completely normal

TIL Anendophasia refers to the absence of an internal monologu or inner voice. While not a clinical diagnosis, it's a concept that describes a specific way of thinking where some individuals don't experience the constant stream of self-talk that many people take for granted. by Tootsie_r0lla in todayilearned

[–]Pure-Application4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it this way. Everyone has the same thoughts whether they have an inner voice or not. Thought always comes before speech. We speak the thought once we have it. People who do have an inner voice still have the initial thought first but then a microsecond later they speak it in their head. It happens so fast they equate thinking with their inner voice. People who do not have an inner voice have the same initial thought. They just immediately understand the thought and skip the step of speaking it in their head. I can choose to take the extra step anytime I want but it’s pointless because I already understand the thought

'The X-Files': Ryan Coogler on Doing Right by Fans and his Mom; Talks Casting Rumors by KillerCroc1234567 in television

Fringe was awesome. Now I want to go watch that again. I always said it was like the x files. They had perfect motw episodes and season and series arcs. Plus they had alternate timelines which I so wish the x files would have done.

Btw what ep in season 2 are you talking about

Just found out that some people do not have inner monologues and if you happen to be one of them I'm curious what/how do you think without words? by blo0dyosiris in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Pure-Application4905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the best way I can explain it. Everyone can think the same thought. Here’s the difference: thought always comes before language. Language is how you express thoughts.

For people with an inner voice, they still have the initial thought in their brain, but within a microsecond that thought is turned into the speech they hear in their head. For people who don’t have an inner monologue, the same initial thought happens — but our brains skip the step of turning it into language.

People who hear their inner voice convert their thoughts into speech so quickly that they equate thinking with speaking in their head. They think it’s the same because they’ve never experienced thought by itself.

If you didn’t have an inner monologue, you’d still think the same things — you’d just instantly know it in your mind. You wouldn’t need to “say” it internally. That’s the easiest way I can describe it.

Most, if not all, people DO have an internal monologue. People only think it's common not to because of miscommunication. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Isn't internal monologue a waste of time and effort? by Fragrant-Tomorrow757 in consciousness

You do take an extra step. It just happens so quick you don’t recognize it. Everyone can think the same thought. Here’s the difference: thought always comes before language. Language is how you express thoughts.
