Maybe he wants in on that head action?

Geez, I don't even have to try to sneak it in there with the double entendre as her reputation certainly precedes.
 
Some rumors are starting to circulate that this motherfucker is Kamala's short list for Attorney General if she wins.

It's difficult to articulate how bad that would be. For those who don't know, this is Keith Ellison, Minnesota's current Attorney General.

I'm tempted to dismiss the rumor, but I never thought our dipshit governor would be selected as her VP candidate either when those rumors started to swirl. Yet, here we are.

The thing is, I think this is affecting all of us.

The "Signature Injury" of the War on Terror Is Not PTSD. It's Low-T. • The Havok Journal

I have low-T too and am definitely not a Democrat. I'm also sure there are plenty of Dems with considerably higher T than me.

Yea, it may be one of those evolutionary biology studies that puts too much stock into single mechanisms.

if I'm remembering the study correctly, one of the purposed reasons wasn't that "high T makes you Conservative" but that the weak-Dems may have actually had more in agreements with Republicans but gave "social" answers. I.E. TRT just made them honest.


- As an aside on the low T thing; I found out about two years ago that my T was much lower for my age (low 300s) than normal. The Doc explained this is actually super common in service members.
Apparently, we are more at risk of developing exercise induced hypogonadism, I.E. so much endurance training (without recovery) over years tanks your T. Throw in the effect that high cortisol and bad sleep have on T production and it seems like it may effect more of us than we'd think.

That's interesting. If that's true, then we'd expect to see it in high-performing athletes as well? I wonder if that's the case.

I just thought that the low-T phenomenon with service members was too much jerking off in overheated Port-O-Potties. ;)

Low 300s? Bud you were in the normal range. I did performance bloods when I was working out like 20+ hours/week. And mine were not in the 300s:(. At the time I did this I was 25. And endocrinologist was like "sleep study". And then I did that and I found out I had sleep apnea. Fun times.

I was like in the best shape of my life, but I felt super haggard and not recovering well. Maybe it was the duty assignment.

I was decently below 350, which for my age is the minimum level of normal range. Physically I felt fine, but I was having some of the psychological symptoms that made it worthwhile to get checked out.

I thought that is how you raised your t levels. Wasn't that how they made Captain America?

No. High caliber or elite level (think national or world class level) athletes don't get to that point by training without rest and recovery. While they will have cycles of intense training, they also get to sleep in great beds, eat great food, and get the best in recovery aids (think massage, cold tanks, etc). I don't remember any of that being the case in the service.

Now, people that are over training, I fully expect to see the same thing. I'd expect it to occur in a lot of Ironman and marathon athletes that are good for their age group, but way over train and don't get enough rest/recovery because of day jobs, family life, and other social obligations.

Look at what Formula 1 drivers endure. 90+ minutes with their heart rate around 170 bpm, pulling 5 lateral g's in multiple corners per lap. That's before we get into the temps endured and the pressure required to operate the brakes. Their neck muscles move 100-ish pounds for...90 minutes, whatever the duration of the race.
