So the answers are:

- if you're bad with money
- so the bank can borrow against you
- in case you're kidnapped

Yeah I'm gonna go buy stocks
this is the revelation that led to me getting into stocks like amd and sq in 2016 and 2017 instead of being happy with my 2% savings account and 4% cd

very confident
started buying a lot of bitcoin, not as much as i could, in march last year
first pulled the trigger on chainlink, my only other crypto, in june or july, i think all told my average cost is like $8.25
the only stocks i currently hold are highly influenced by the price of bitcoin and its adoption: riot blockchain and square

in fact most of the money i gained from my recent exit from gme i rolled into square after bitcoining up by 1.5

damn nice hair bro
you probably won't have to shed too much body fat to get rid of the belly
a little bit of hara hachi bu (eating until you're 80% full) and a little strength exercise will get you the flat stomach you want

it feels really good to have a tight midsection bro, no cap
and you don't need to work out a whole lot to make muscle gains. one or two sets of some basic full body exercises to failure two or three times a week, and throw some occasional running and loaded carries into the mix between strength days, and you'll be fine

A couple of forum vets I respect tried it for months with no results. Fin, Dut, RU, and CB had worked for them. I couldn't find any successful anecdotes since then after a quick search either. So it'll be another thing I'm interested in your experience with because it did look worth a shot on paper. Interested in your 3-8 month marks.

Congrats on the girl and good luck with everything.
Interesting. I remain excited about it and I will definitely report back on CE about my progress or lack thereof by start of summer next year. I'll try not to jump back on RU or reattempt finasteride before then.

As far as the girl, thanks. It's my first time really getting out there since covid. Perhaps that's making me a little more reckless than I used to be, but... worth it.

I've been using minoxidil for a couple of months now. Going by this topic, I guess I should add finasteride into the mix? I would have to get a doctor's appointment first I guess.
i got a prescription for it in minutes on lemonaid health -- but i'm not using it for now as i decided to pursue some of the more experimental androgen blockers that you apply directly to the scalp. seems very safe though and you don't need to take the recommended dose to get most or all of the effects -- 1 mg three times a week should do the trick.

Same... for now. I'm a few years older than you and both of my parents didn't start getting much gray until their 50s, with my dad's limited to his beard throughout that decade. Hoping my interest in diet and lifestyle get me at least the freedom from grays that they had, if not more.

Yep; finasteride can cause erectile dysfunction.
You can take a lower dose than what is generally prescribed and still get a significant reduction in scalp DHT. I am avoiding it for now because my testosterone is a lot higher than it used to be and I'm enjoying the fact that I'm gaining so much body and facial hair. The RU-58841 I've been taking, and next the fluridil, work by blocking testosterone in the follicle and only the follicle.

Men of CE, are you taking steps to prevent or reverse male pattern baldness?










there was a topic around a month ago with a lot of insightful posts about hair loss and hair loss treatment by @pojr and @Krojen . around the time of its posting I had just gotten prescribed finasteride, which I was looking at taking every other day or so (1 mg). however, after reading krojen's posts about his years of successful treatment with ru-58841, i felt more comfortable with that experimental molecule and obtained a supply.

a month is too early to notice any results. so far, i feel things are neutral to positive -- but that might be because i haven't had a 'lineup' recently. maybe my barbers were artificially receding my hairline by hacking away follicles that hadn't died yet, just miniaturized.

after the recent kevin mann video about fluridil i've placed an order for some to come from overseas, and i wonder if anyone, whether the above named posters or others here, have any experiences with that treatment, other experiences that they'd like to share, or questions and comments about hair loss and approaches to dealing with it in general @MeIon_Bread

since that last topic by pojr i ended up with a pyt gf (she came out of left field and chose me; my usual dating range is 27-34) who sees me as her own personal spencer reid, and i have a keen interest in anti-aging stuff anyway, so all the more reason to keep this going. what's the point of aging like jared leto if you don't have his hairline

Oh, I thought you said frens.

It's good that you're noticing this. Take action.
Your diet is a good place to start. Nothing inherently wrong with chocolate, but as I recall it and candy compose a significant percentage of your dietary energy intake. Not a lot of nutrition to be had, there.
I recommend lots of potatoes, meat (beef and lamb), fish (especially cod and salmon), and milk.
And throw some occasional pullups and pushups into the mix during your regular walks.

In Sunhawk's pseudonymously published Bronze Age Mindset, he wrote:
Animals walk around in a state of permanent religious intoxication. This is the natural condition of the mind and intellect, the moment-to-moment perception, of man as well. I heard some computer fool say that religion is the 'older virtual reality' experience, to justify his scam industry. No, the denuded state of the spirit and intellect, where you walk around 'demystified' and 'disenchanted' is the virtual reality condition, and a terrible condition at that.

Even taking a break for a few years it was never like that again.
I noticed this recently when resuming a once-every-week-or-two cannabis practice after several months away from it. Figure that my brain finally had time to develop a way to cope with the altered state.
