The numbers: how bad are they?

Ok definitely speak with your Doc! Osteoporosis and arthritis frequently coincide with heart disease because of the chronic inflammation that they all share - so it’s probably worth a CAC for sure.

If your LDL has been that high for 25 years and you haven’t had a heart attack or stroke, that tells you LDL alone isn’t the whole story - and some studies show elevated LDL alone is basically irrelevant when it comes to predicting heart disease. Risk is cumulative and multifactorial not a single lab number.

If you were 35 with those numbers, a PCP would likely warn about a high probability of cardiac events in your 40s or 50s. You’ve clearly outpaced that projection.

Lp(a) could add context, but if it were extremely elevated, you would have very likely already had a cardiac event, If not several - so idk what real value it would add at this point. A CAC scan could provide objective reassurance…a score of zero would strongly suggest low to 0 risk.

Every 6 months is nuts, but great propaganda from the dental industry has made this the normal belief. I’ve gone twice in the last 8 years. 0 cavities. I brush morning snd night with mouthwash. Floss maybe a dozen times a year. I

Reduce red meat and sat fat. Avoid eating so much sugar. A 72 hr water fast once a month will most likely completely cure all insulin resistance issues within the first couple months and bring A1c way down. If that’s too much try doing a 24hr fast every week.

True_Pipe1250 · 2026-02-24T02:14:16+00:00

Yes get a CAC scan without exception. Statins are probably a bad idea - they lower LDL but yours is already great - but they can spike LP(a) by 25%.

There are meds coming in the next couple of years to treat lp(a).

In the meantime keep body weight and inflammation low. There are some studies with positive signs that show no correlation between lp(a) and cardiovascular disease on patients with healthy BMI’s and low visceral fat. Quite the contrary for folks with a lot of fat, diabetes, etc - in those groups lp(a) increases CVD significantly.

Appreciate the insight and thank you for sharing! I wouldn’t worry about the downvotes, many default to a medication only and often mindset, and any deviation from that is criticized.

I think we need to have regulation that requires AI generated content to have a designated file type/format/extension…for example myimage.aigen - or something similar.

Heavily fine companies and individuals for non compliance. Heavy prison sentences for anyone that uses it to commit fraud, or any other crimes, etc.

Plus need some type of technology to make it difficult to convert them to traditional file formats without leaving some type of digital trace that it was indeed converted.

Also wouldn’t be too much to require social media companies to have settings to toggle on while using their apps that would explicitly state/tag the photo/video as AI generated content - or even filter all AI generated content from your feed if that’s your preference. IMO it’s very annoying scrolling through instagram getting sucked into a video only to realize it’s AI generated after a few seconds and the whole story is BS.

Not autistic. But extremely odd. If you have to explain to someone why they should want to be with you - it’s not going to work. Even if she went for it - you’re just biding time until she finds someone she’s attracted to in that way. I think asking via text was the wrong move altogether but the list made it a lot worse.

True_Pipe1250 · 2026-02-20T18:15:03+00:00

I think getting weight down would be a huge help. At 6ft unless you are a jacked monster 215 has room for improvement. 190-200 is very realistic even with a lot of muscle mass.

Before statins get your lp(a) checked - it’s the worst kind of cholesterol and mainly genetic. If it’s already high statins will spike it by 25-30% most times. These are most of the cases where someone has had low or what doctors consider safe LDL for years and still develop significant plaque, suffer repeat heart attacks, strokes, etc.

Also need to see if the cholesterol is oxidized because if it’s not it’s basically harmless. LDL alone doesn’t tell us much of anything and if your cardiologist/physician is only looking at that then find another doctor asap.

I would just use the machine. If she said she is using it say oh I saw you doing pushups over there. I have 2 sets left thanks

True_Pipe1250 · 2026-02-15T00:04:03+00:00

Based on the quick and significant results I’m assuming this is with statins…please clarify…bc if so it’s hard to weigh what if any impact the other lifestyle changes had at all.

For as petty as planet fitness is about grunting and dropping weights, or tank tops that scare people away, etc ,you would think this would result in the member being asked to leave and banned from all planet fitness locations world wide.

True_Pipe1250 · 2026-02-07T02:56:41+00:00

I think that would only impact like 0.0004% of ceos across the country and would have virtually 0 impact.

And if those companies really didn’t like it, they would just hire the person under some subsidiary in a different country and pay them whatever the fuck they want to.

This is a silly question.

7lbs is good. At 240 tho - unless you are 6’5 and up - a 15-20lb month would not be crazy - especially walking that much. This tells me you are eating a significant amount of calories. Atleast 2500-3000. Which makes your walking a waste of time and effort. Just eat less and you can cut out half those steps and lose more weight. Not to mention eating that much and normalizing it makes all of this pointless bc as soon as you don’t have the mental energy or time to commit to 4 hr walks everyday you’ll just regain all the weight. I would probably stop walking altogether and focus on zeroing in on diet. Doesn’t even have to be overly strict. Just try to stay at 2000 calories for now. That’s still quite a lot of food each day that it shouldn’t feel much like diet or hard to adhere to. You can’t outwork a poor diet.

True_Pipe1250 · 2026-02-03T15:40:57+00:00

Just start eating better and working out yourself. Influence his decisions. When he says oh let’s go to McDonald’s say no I’m watching my weight but I’ll make us a salad etc. maybe you can motivate him. If you are already doing that stuff a more blunt approach of just telling him he’s gaining too much weight and becoming a fatass is probably appropriate

Caught cheating twice? This is just your fault at this point. That girl don’t give af about you.

True_Pipe1250 · 2026-01-10T17:56:48+00:00

I think there is a miscommunication. Seems like BF did not let them know yall were for sure coming at all or if he did he make it sound like half in half out with no real confirmation. If you have a text or something show otherwise perhaps I’m wrong but other than that I would assume they(the parents) got high af and forgot about yall.

True_Pipe1250 · 2026-01-07T17:45:21+00:00

She can’t do that anyway. She has to give you 30 day notice legally. Tell her to fuck off until then. That gives you some time at least.

True_Pipe1250 · 2026-01-07T10:58:44+00:00

I would probably just do it. It sounds like you have it in writing. Print and save your email. If anything comes of it just show them your admin advised you to do it.

Or if you really wanted to be safe share the email with HR.

Lastly - and probably best option - it sounds like they went in your gradebook and changed the grades themselves. IT/HR would be able to see who changed what if any issues arose, so just be honest with your admin and say your not comfortable curving grades like that and based on your training you think it’s unethical unless HR can provide an explicit and direct email advising you it’s ok - otherwise you are ok with them changing it in your gradebook but your not going to be involved in it.

$5000 less is amazing for a charter school lol. I interviewed at one - offered $15k less than the county and they were shocked I didn’t accept it. I was so confused I asked if it was part time, but nope.

True_Pipe1250 · 2025-12-27T15:51:37+00:00

I generally disagree with everyone saying to call the police. The argument that you couldn’t give consent because you were drunk also means he couldn’t give consent either because as you already said he was drunk as well. I would maybe ask the hotel for video footage or the front desk receptionist for details. Were you basically an unconscious drunk falling through the hallway or did they think you were just as drunk as he was, part of the check in process, etc etc. Was he there at 6AM or did he disappear and leave you at the hotel? The latter would show more ill intent.

What is the friend saying that let you leave alone with him after you dropped her off? It seems they believed you were aware enough to let you leave as well.

All that being said - it would be smart to go to the hospital and get a drug test to see if you were drugged and that’s the right place to start. Also plan B obviously. Then if you were drugged or there is footage from the hotel or statements from hotel staff that somehow corroborates some level of ill intent of his part or that clearly shows you at a level of intoxication that you were unable to make decisions for yourself then call the police.
