Reply to comment by randompersonx in Metformin regulates myoblast differentiation through an AMPK-dependent mechanism (Feb 2023) by basmwklz
I feel like if using for non diabetic, you can cycle it for longer off terms...seems the older you get the better... probably wouldn't take it unless your diabetes or over 45ish years

Reply to comment by wallowsfan289 in Cultivating a sense of perspective about pet loss can lead to post-traumatic growth after their death by chrisdh79
I disagree with your point of view. For a lot of people a pet is a stronger emotional bond than "human loved ones".

There's a few artists I would not have become fans of if it weren't for someone else being a fan and me hearing them play the music a lot.
I would never have stuck it out for enough listens on my own

I would be very curious, after the patient passes, if they get a brain sample for analysis. I wonder if this is a prion disease.

The book When Bad Things Happen to Good People was written by the dad of a 14 year old that died from a rapid aging disease. They knew when he was 2 years old that his life would be very short. Heartbreaking

The people they took data from obviously don't appreciate a good breakdown or prog song.

If it took this long to find it in a young person, wouldn’t that mean it’s pretty rare? Or they weren’t looking

This happens to me a lot with songs that have an unpredictable rhythm or melody. Those kind of songs that take a while to be able to sing along to. At first it throws me off and I don't like it as much as something catchy would, but after a couple more times I get into it and I end up liking it. Those are also the kind of songs I don't get tired of because they sound more interesting and less repetitive.

I had a friend who I worked with who had Alzheimer’s develop when he was 45 years old and died from it when he was 47.

That's interesting. Why not, you think? I like animals more than humans, which is the other end of the spectrum. Do animals gross you out? Did you ever have a pet? I'm genuinely curious and not taking the piss.

I also get this feeling when hearing a song as a single and then hearing it within an album. Sometimes the mildly bland single is the best intro to a nice B side on the album. Once you get used to the album, the mild single feels like a really good appetizer.

It takes me 3-4 listens before I like a song.

If the disease can be diagnosed before age 3 (which is extremely rare bc early developmental delays/differences are often misdiagnosed as autism) a stem cell transplant has a chance of slowing some of the physical deterioration. It is controversial bc it's very risky. It is the only intervention I know of.

Yep, worked with someone’s kid who has this. Sobering to hear anyone talk about knowing their son is going to die potentially before his 10th birthday with limited interventions available.

I've actively observed this in myself many times. Even for music. Makes me wonder sometimes if I like a song because I like it or because I'm familiar with it

doesn't always work for me. i have to be in the mood for the music. when i wanna listen to something epic or something with lotsa bass and spotify recommends rock or metal because that's what i was listening to before, i can't appreciate it. i might have to listen to the same songs a couple days later and then i might like them
