And the benefit of using the harassment of women against you in the future if you step out of line.

It’s *consequences for thee and not for me" at the finest.

That is way too coherent to be Trump.

Actually that’s a really good post. I didn’t know that salt without potassium would make you sick, as the products I used always had an amount of potassium in them.

And listening to our bodies shouldn’t be that hard, but here we are lol

I was in a miserable puddle of sensory overload. 15 years after the test I started learning that yeah I’m probably ASD, and there’s a strange correlation with ASD and POTS. Neuron magic.

And no problem with that yeah.

The sweat test was awful. You basically wear your underwear, lie down in what amounts to a glass oven, then they spread sand all over your and you sit still for an hour and bake. Then they take a picture at the end.

And purple means sweat, yellow means no sweat. It shows what sweat glands activated by the autonomic nervous system. Then you have to shower it off and it takes forever.

They were very professional about it though, it was a nurse, a doc, and technician. I guess they were doing multiple tests at the same time, but I never saw other people doing it. Which was a relief I didn’t really want to see other purple people

It does help me keep volume, definitely. I found ones called “vitassium”. They have 500mg of sodium, 100mg of potassium per pill. That seems to work ok with 3L, so it should help reduce your intake.

It’s kind of weird to think about though. All my life I had to listen to my family having too high blood pressure so I got used to not eating salt.

Well that backfired.

Oh, I probably responded to that one someone else’s comment and forgot to bring it along with me.

My mother has tried to convince me of that. The “and then it got worse” is part of the core of their culture. I don’t want to believe that’s true, mostly because things DID get better after Stalin died.

I get that 500 years of state-subsidized alcoholism can greatly impact a nation, but surely they are capable of trying for something better.

Well, bro, I got some bad news on that front.

I’ve been to two of the best hospitals in the world (not on purpose, just coincidentally and they wanted to check it out in their specialty clinics) and went through some unpleasant testing (one is called a thermoregulation sweat test that they cover you in color changing sand), and that’s the exact same thing I have to do.

I take 4 salt pills, drink 3 liters of water, Gatorade or Pedialyte and a beta blocker. I do cardio. The one thing I am starting to get better at now is lower body strength - my legs are pretty dinky and along with increased blood volume, bigger leg muscles can help ease the symptoms.

The beta blocker thing I got unlucky with though, there’s a few of them that are better for pots but I can’t metabolize them (or maybe I rapidly metabolize them so they don’t work at all, I cant remember).

Yeah, that was my son. He would throw a fit until he was about 5 that WE caused him to run into the wall.

Does really hot weather seem to cause it?

Do you seem to eat less salt than other people?

Do you have persistently low blood pressure but a heart rate that is easy to spike?

If you stretch just right will it happen?

I don’t want to just say “go see a doctor” but having collapsed at very bad opportunities, it is not worth finding out until it’s too late that you have to make some lifestyle changes to function.

I want to point out that Orthostatic Hypotension is normal to some degree.

If you experience it changing positions while sitting, or notice exercise and heat intolerance, talk to a doctor. In the short term drink enough fluids and get a bunch of sodium and potassium in you.

Edit: Im going to step out here and say that I am personally familiar with a condition called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It’s somewhat uncommon, and has a lot of potential causes. COVID-19, specifically, can trigger it because of the way it attacks the nervous system. However, the symptoms of POTS are also the symptoms of a BUNCH of other much more serious conditions. It’s a diagnosis by ruling out other things. When they get to the step of testing for POTS it’s hilariously easy. They monitor your heart rate and blood pressure, stick you on a moving table, and tilt you.

On the downside, POTS itself is incurable unless the underlying cause changes or improves. This happens in many people, I was unfortunate enough that they discovered I had unexplainable neuropathies. Either the nerves were damaged when I was young, or they didn’t grow correctly.

The upside is that we can manage POTS symptoms. Avoid heat. Build lower body muscle, increase electrolyte intake, and drink a lot of non-caffinated and non-alcoholic liquids. I take salt pills, drink Pedialyte daily, and have a prescribed (and extremely cheap) medication. It still happens, but it’s manageable, and I won’t die from a head injury anymore.

POTS?

I actually had to start taking salt pills. I still greyout, but I don’t lose muscle strength anymore.

Correct. And if you remove the military, intelligence, and funding support given to Israel from the US, and leave Israel to fend for itself, it will face swift regime change too.

But that can only happen if the Kremlin’s interference with democratic systems ends, and then the remainder of the world has the chance to remove authoritarians from their seats of power and influence.

Might have misunderstood me? He’s not the root cause of anything. It’s why the “3 people” in the poster aren’t on equal levels. He’s an opportunistic con man that somehow believes cleverness is equivalent to intelligence.

Israel is wholly dependent on its existence by the US. The US has supported Israel because of the exact same influence that Russia manipulated, except Israel has been doing it with far more money for much longer than Putin himself.

If you kick the peg that is Putin, there will be a cascading collapse of authoritarians. The only ruler that gets to avoid that from what I can tell is Xi Jinping.

Withdraw US support, and Israel is nothing.

To withdraw US support we need to end the current regime, and move forward to replacing the DNC with actual caring people.

All of this will be substatially easier if Putin is out of power.

Arguably? Putin is the problem.

Trump is nothing without people with actual power. He doesn’t have the brain capacity to actually do anything.

Netenyahu is a small weak man of a small weak nation with too much concentrated wealth and too much fingers in the western world.

If you take Putin out, the rest of the world stands a chance at ridding itself of the evil that Zionism has infected it with, regardless if Netenyahu is around or not.

I saw cybercrooks and had to take the opportunity

Spain? Read the room.

Why stop at Gaza right? Israel has a lot of neighbors, might as well walk right into Iran or Lebanon and just start murdering people too!

The tell tale sign of how awful the zionists are is that they aren’t picking a fight with Iran. Syria fell. Syria is starting to rebuild. Palestinians had barely any organized resistance. They only fight those who can’t fight back. Almost exactly like another genocidal maniac in the 1920s-1940s.

This feels like an attempt to destroy open source projects. Overwhelm developers with crap PRs so they can’t fix real issues.

It won’t work long term, because I can’t imagine anyone staying on GitHub after it gets bad.
