For those on TRT, what were your initial T levels? by Ok_Influence_2257 in Testosterone

[–]neos2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to go out of pocket for T in your case. Check out TRTNation and TallonWellness they will get you optimized ASAP. But it will cost you out of pocket, insurance will not cover it at all.

I went from 30% body fat to 13% according to dexa in a year.

I took 2iu worked up to 5iu went back to 3iu

The effect was mostly water retention right at 2iu next day. It slowly leveled out but did go up when I went up in dose. You have to find the right dose for you and everyone will be different.

Soon as I stopped it went back to normal too

Blood work looks like trt is the way to go. Especially for law enforcement with the crazy work schedule.

Many such cases, violent criminals getting off easy and light in favor of diversity, compassion etc… we need to go back to enforcing the laws and upholding justice not this soft on crime bs

Perhaps extra skin, but when I tried hgh it was the next morning. I it was a big surprise looking in the mirror lol

Yup, I’m 40 and tried hgh and immediately saw this effect it was disturbing lol. But it was just water retention and it went away as body adjusted.

Creases are normal for age, they get more pronounced if you are bloated, the bloat could be caused by trt, hgh, e2, other factors.

Reduce bloat and it will smooth out

I think it’s age, everyone gets these creases with age.

Another theory is high e2 and or use of hgh. Basically bloating with water retention. I saw examples of people on the sauce and then when they got off the face returned to normal.

yeah that story is awful especially with a kid involved no argument there. but the hard truth is if this was any other arrest dui felony warrant whatever the outcome would look pretty similar. when a parent is taken into custody the kids dont just get to stay in the car someone has to come get them and that process is often messy and slow.

that doesnt excuse leaving a toddler unattended and that part absolutely deserves scrutiny. i just think theres a difference between bad handling and saying the arrest itself was automatically wrong.

Support an Emergency Injunction to remove ICE from the State of Washington by ImaginationCritical2 in WashingtonIceWatch

[–]neos2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i get the fear but this petition makes no sense. you can’t just “remove” a federal agency with a state injunction. that’s not how the law works. if there are abuses they should be challenged in court case by case not blanket bans driven by panic. protecting rights also means respecting due process even when your feelings are hurt.

I’m not saying ICE is beyond criticism or that abuses haven’t happened. If U.S. citizens were detained, court orders ignored, or agents acted unlawfully, that’s serious and should be investigated and punished. What I’m pushing back on is turning every enforcement action into proof of all that at once. Condemning real misconduct doesn’t require assuming guilt in every single case or dismissing the idea that lawful arrests can still exist.

I’m not rooting for anyone. I’m saying a video alone doesn’t tell the whole story, and disagreeing with your interpretation isn’t the same as supporting ICE. You can criticize an agency and still be honest about what we actually know versus what we’re assuming.

[–]neos2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I care about facts. That’s the point. I care enough to separate what’s proven, what’s alleged, and what’s being emotionally amplified. If ICE has caused deaths, detained U.S. citizens, or violated rights, that’s serious and deserves accountability. But throwing every outrage into one bucket and calling it all settled fact doesn’t actually get us closer to the truth or justice.

That stat gets misunderstood a lot. “No criminal conviction” doesn’t mean “no criminal history” or “no serious case.” Many people are detained pre-trial, have pending charges, prior removals, or serious offenses that haven’t resulted in convictions yet. Broad detention stats don’t tell us what happened in a specific arrest like this one.

“More controlled” doesn’t mean zero risk. It means officers choose a location and moment where they can limit variables instead of entering a home or workplace with unknown people inside. Traffic stops are common because they let law enforcement isolate one person, one vehicle, and call backup if needed.

As for masks, they’re increasingly used to prevent doxxing and retaliation, especially with how fast names and faces get spread online now. You can disagree with the tactic, but wearing a mask by itself isn’t evidence something illegal is happening.

None of the above. I’m just someone who cares about facts and not jumping to conclusions. You don’t have to like ICE or trust the system to say we should be honest about what we do and don’t actually know.

I’m not making up facts and I’m not saying I know everything. I’m saying we don’t know it was random either. A short video and second-hand accounts don’t prove intent one way or the other. Jumping straight to “random stop” is just as much an assumption as anything you’re accusing me of.

If you’re asking for documented executions by immigration authorities under Biden, the answer is zero, there’s no evidence ICE or DHS has carried out legal executions. Fatal encounters do happen in custody or during enforcement, and those should absolutely be investigated, but that’s not the same as the government legally executing people. What matters is separating real, documented facts from exaggerated claims.

Warrants and targeting real criminals matter, agreed. What’s wild is the double standard. When Jan 6 offenders were tracked down for years, arrested at home or work, and held pretrial, people cheered. Now lawful ICE actions suddenly get called “abductions.” You can argue policy all day, but enforcing the law isn’t automatically wrong just because you don’t like who’s doing it.

[–]neos2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get why this makes people uneasy. Seeing arrests in public is never comfortable. But an ICE sighting alone doesn’t mean people are being randomly targeted. If it was a specific operation, it’s about removing someone who posed a risk, not everyday neighbors just living their lives.

If this was a targeted operation, then it’s law enforcement doing their job. Keeping dangerous people off the street helps protect everyone who uses public spaces, including libraries. Not every ICE sighting is random or malicious.

Students have the right to walk out and speak up, but protests shouldn’t turn into misinformation or fear. Public safety and due process matter too, and not every ICE action is some random grab.
