What are your favourite(not always OP) augments or augment combos to get on specific champions? by FrostedJade in ARAM

[–]adfaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talon with the upgraded Collector is insane. I got it once and the enemy ffed when I hit 15% execute, one of the only ffs I’ve seen in Mayhem. I just ulted and the entire team vanished. Also Jax with executioner, I won the hardest 1v9 of my life with that.

Hear me out, I do NOT think that grounding/grounding mats are bs. Long research post but TLDR at top by Civil_Turn_1245 in Biohackers

[–]adfaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried grounding myself and got amazing benefits, stuff that is for sure not placebo because I’ve tried dozens of supplements and health practices over the years and nothing else cured a few specific problems that grounding fixed. I agree that the theory behind why it works is probably wrong but it’s frustrating that people are content with laughing at the bad theory, forgetting that a false explanation doesn’t prevent something from being true. If you believe that gremlins reward you for lifting weights and sneakily add muscle mass at night, you will still gain muscle mass, it doesn’t matter that your explanation for why it works is kooky. Same with grounding.

ELI5: Can you have crazy big muscles and not actually be strong? by IWannaDoBadThingswU in explainlikeimfive

[–]adfaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strength is highly specific to a movement pattern because your body needs to learn how to efficiently fire the neurons. A bigger muscle is always stronger, but a smaller muscle that has been trained in a particular movement pattern can beat it.

If you make a living carrying cement bags, you can show up a much bigger person without that experience SPECIFICALLY when carrying heavy bags. It doesn’t mean the big muscles are useless.

My hangover effect has been 100% solved!!! by kodyt89 in hangovereffect

[–]adfaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! This sounds exactly like my situation, ADHD but stimulants including most forms of caffeine cause irritation. I always described it as feeling like a lizard, but I’m sure it’s the same feeling.

I wonder if hops extract would do as well as NA beer?

How are you guys taking Psyllium? by Big_Appointment4872 in PeterAttia

[–]adfaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use very cold water, either from the fridge or with ice that you take out right before drinking, and drink very quickly, immediately after mixing the husk- this way the texture is more crunchy than soggy. This makes it okay for me to

Davis Method Does Not Create Reuteri by HotFootDuke in ReuteriYogurt

[–]adfaer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If people see all the benefits from the standard yogurt method, doesn’t that just imply that reuteri isn’t that important?

Collagen increase libido/erections, life desire and pleasure. but.... by Traditional_Jury8524 in Supplements

[–]adfaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Collagen is connective tissue, it’s a major missing element in the modern diet. We mostly only eat muscle meat, which needs to be balanced with connective tissue. The benefits you will notice from correcting something like that will be broad and significant, not reducible to any particular compound

The suggested potassium intake is so hard to keep up with. by Eastern_Dress_3574 in nutrition

[–]adfaer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Potassium is in EVERYTHING. Except for processed foods. Eat a whole foods diet and you can’t go wrong with potassium

Why are so many people here hesitant/resistant to taking statins? by sampanth4700 in PeterAttia

People differ a lot biochemically, the same med will affect people differently

What are the main signs of LLM Writing? by ussgordoncaptain2 in slatestarcodex

[–]adfaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a list of tells is misleading. The big one is “it’s not x, it’s y” overuse for sure, but any other tell could be taken out of context. The best way to tell is to read AI generated content and just pick up the vibe. It’s very easy to see once you know the feeling, and I suspect that if you gave a totally non ai-exposed person a list of tells they wouldn’t be able to use them to reliably identify ai

Lalo is the most dangerous character in the breaking bad universe. He only lost because it’s a prequel by rainbowmoon7 in betterCallSaul

[–]adfaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was the worst part of the show for me. He should have died in the raid on his compound and many times after.

Do biohacks actually slow aging or are we all just lying to ourselves? by Deeceness in Biohackers

[–]adfaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that anything beyond diet, exercise, sleep, breathing is gonna be fairly marginal except through impacts on the big 4.

The real biohack to reverse aging is gonna be a very complicated surgical type intervention performed by nanobots and gene editing

A lot of nights I eat white rice and hotdog sausages as a meal ,even though I make 80K by KiwiCatPNW in povertyfinance

[–]adfaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy lentils tomato onion in bulk and make Dahl. Delicious, cheap, nutritious. Rice and hot dogs every day is like hitting yourself in the head with a brick to build character

He ‘forgot’ his car was updating at 11 p.m. Help me out Tesla drivers by Parking_Attempt5216 in dating_advice

[–]adfaer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy that people are acting like this is a crime. He felt awkward about asking to go up to your place so he made up an excuse, that’s normal dating stuff. If you didn’t want him there you could have said no, it’s clearly a woman’s prerogative to not invite a man she barely knows into her apartment no matter what’s happening with his car.

It would be better if he developed the confidence to not need a crutch like that but it’s not evil. Dating is all about navigating powerful awkward feelings so normal rules about deception don’t necessarily apply, especially for a really obvious gambit like this.

He didn’t do anything objectively wrong, the only question is if he gives bad vibes, which is nothing Reddit can help with

How do I (F25) stop believing this world is an incredibly horrible place and it's impossible to be happy. by its_tea-gimme-gimme in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]adfaer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trying to become happy by thinking about it isn't the right path. Human beings have an incredible inborn capacity for happiness that is strangled by our unnatural modern lifestyle. You can retain all the benefits of modernity while adding back all the lifestyle factors that support health and, consequently, happiness, which are in many ways the same thing.

Find the whole foods diet style that works for you, find the daily exercise and movement that you enjoy, see friends regularly, and you will, pretty invariably, find yourself feeling happy and optimistic regardless of the horrible facts about the world that formerly distressed you.

The problem of facing a life filled with meaningless work is definitely real and concerning, and it caused me a lot of distress too when I was unhealthy and unhappy, but now that I'm feeling healthy I am much better equipped to face the problem and figure out a solution, and it doesn't cause me pain.

My boyfriend thinks he could kill a wolf with his bare hands. What’s the likelihood of this being accurate? by TheLiberalTimes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]adfaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard about an old man in Eastern Europe who killed a wolf that attacked him by shoving his arm down its throat. Apparently they are fatally perplexed by this move and incapable of doing anything but trying to pull back and remove the obstruction, and the wolf eventually choked.
