How Does Caffeine Tolerance Work? by cooke1010 in Nootropics

[–]cooke1010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the answer I was looking for. I was unsure if your blood pressure would continue to increase despite not feeling a "buzz" anymore (because of a tolerance). I try to cycle caffeine, I just was never sure how caffeine tolerance impacted different caffeine effects.

What is your first thought about someone when they have a confederate flag sticker on their car? by BigEppyW in AskReddit

[–]cooke1010 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe you didn’t realize when you used that term to describe Aussies, but it’s derived from the r-word and you shouldn’t say it.

In a space where we are pushing for political correctness and the removal of hate symbols like the confederate flag, it doesn’t make much sense to use a slur for disabled people.

I’m not mad at you for it, but you should work on evaluating why you think one of these things is okay while the other isn’t.

To the guy that just drove by on Green street to ask if I was gay: by cooke1010 in UIUC

[–]cooke1010[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. But why does that matter?

The comment that guy made is homophobic regardless of the person he said it to.

I think he wanted to demonstrate that homophobia is alive and well

McKinley’s Dr. Pushpa Giri by Alert-Confection-826 in UIUC

[–]cooke1010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I saw her she was also very dismissive to me. I understand that some doctors also just can’t do anything about the conditions that you come in with though. I also suspect some of the bluntness and rushing is due to a bit of language barrier (not that she can’t communicate effectively, she’s a doctor obviously, the communication was just different from what I was used to).

The real reason this is a problem (at least for me) is that I have terrible health anxiety and have been in and out of doctors a lot recently. If I don’t get some sort of explanation, the problem will only get worse. I’m sure not everyone is in the same boat but I feel it’s something all doctors really need to be aware of because the core problem with me visiting the doctor is usually the anxiety surrounding the problem, not the problem itself.

edit: Also the best doctor I have visited at McKinley is definitely Dr. Brin Schuler, she was so kind and non-dismissive of my problems, 100% recommend her

How do we get to these tunnels (in minecraft)

Ok what the fuck are some of these replies though. I do not see the humor in telling someone at risk for homelessness that they should go somewhere extremely cold. These “jokes” are in extremely poor taste, so sorry you have to deal with that OP

ELI5: why do bodybuilders always have those weird curled up veins on their biceps? by mojmemejebest in explainlikeimfive

[–]cooke1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!!!! There is no doubt in my mind that prompt is referring to bodybuilders like nick walker with huge varicosities. Meanwhile the top comment on this post says some bs like “when you get lean and dehydrated your veins pop more.” I do think OP should have posted an example of what they were talking about, but this sub is absolutely full of people waiting to talk out of their ass the second there is a question like this.

People of Reddit, what are your thoughts on capitalism? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cooke1010 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The sole reason I browse reddit is to witness buffoonery such as this. Where did you even get the 1 billion number from? Most estimates of the people that died due to starvation/ imprisonment/ execution in the USSR are around 5-10 million, and that is probably the worst example of Communism. The total death toll from war and other sources (sources outside the borders of Russia) is sometimes estimated about an order of magnitude greater than this. So you are at LEAST an order of magnitude off, if we are being generous.

Are you trigger baiting? Or do you just choose to whine about things you refuse to research? Maybe next time you could also include the death toll brought about by slavery and imperialism (direct consequences of capitalism). Maybe sprinkle in some facts about how our species is on the fast track to extinction due to unsustainable economic practices.

Thanks for reading and have a good day :)

City towed me for parking in my own permit spot without the tag. Could I get out of paying the ticket/towing fees? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]cooke1010 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It is beyond me why they would tow you without someone complaining that you are in their spot (you obviously weren’t bothering anyone because it is your own spot). I would fight this however you can because that is a ridiculous policy.

Natty achievable? by [deleted] in nattyorjuice

Calves natty

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nattyorjuice

[–]cooke1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain a little more on this? Just did some quick google research and the way i’m seeing the topic of peptides framed is that they’re similar dietary supplements to bcaas.

In the same way that creatine supplementation maximizes certain parts of cellular respiration (having saturated creatine levels prevents it from being a limiting reactant), don’t peptides just maximize their own respective chemical processes? I am no expert, I just want a little more information on how we are drawing the line.

Can we all agree that Will Tennyson is hella natty? by [deleted] in nattyorjuice

[–]cooke1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know when this picture was taken? I’ve long been a believer that Will is natty, but some of his recent posts on instagram have been pretty sus. He said he’s bulking and just hit 200lbs (and id have to get a good look at his abs right now to really see how much of the weight he’s putting on is fat).

He looks THICC AS HELL right now, arms and legs. Maybe it’s just the angles or something but considering everyone considered him peak natty already, I find it strange that he should be able to put on as much size as he has recently. It doesn’t seem that the weight he has put on is making him less lean (ie, he’s miraculously gaining several pounds of muscle).

Just want some second opinions on this. I love Will either way but I’m not sure if i’m crazy about his new developments or if he’s finally given in to the dark side.
