Everyone seems to be losing their minds over how incredible this movie is, but honestly? It was just a depressing bore for me. I actually turned it off after 45 minutes because nothing happened besides some tedious dialogue.☕

I've noticed some girls wearing those orange and red griotte stockings... does anyone know where I can find those?

Harry Belafonte - Jump in the Line (shake señora)

👍 nice 😉

Here is another one

Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time
Work, work, work, Senora, work your body line
Work, work, work, Senora, work it all the time

my girl's name is Senora i tell you friends , i Ador Her and When She dances
I tell you friends, I adore her
And when she dances, oh brother!
She's a hurricane in all kinds of weather

(Jump in The Line (shake señora, rock your body in time) OK, I believe you!
(Jump in The Line (shake señora, rock your body in time) OK, I believe you!
(Jump in The Line (shake señora, rock your body in time) OK, I believe you!
(Jump in The Line (shake señora, rock your body in time) Whoa!

...oh right—my phone never seems to have service at the absolute worst possible moment 👎

Generation X and the "bite the concrete" scene

The Girl Next Door - letlampa vs where she gets tied up, tortured, starved, raped, beaten, and finally has her clitoris burned with a lamp

A sweet little treat where a girl tortures some guy and performs surgeries on him

I think she cuts his testicles off while he's still alive

Let's not forget that carrying any kind of weapon is completely unnecessary.

Forget about the element of surprise. You have to yell "Hello? Is anyone there? Hellooo?" at the top of your lungs, hoping the maniac actually responds with, "Hey—it's me!"

When you're trying to run away, you should probably trip as often as possible... because those slowpokes always seem to catch up to you, even if you're three times faster than they are.

If you find yourself alone in the middle of the night in some creepy, horror-movie setting and hear a strange noise, you absolutely have to go check it out yourself

p.s. patches work just like pills

They don't work the same way. Patches and vaginal rings act locally by releasing hormones, which means fewer side effects. The only catch is that patches aren't recommended for anyone with vascular issues, like thrombosis or similar conditions.

I see there’s no point here. I was simply looking for an answer from someone who has actually used all of these products.
I really have no interest in trying to convince anyone of anything, nor do I want anyone attempting to talk me out of my own beliefs.
I sense a very negative attitude here, and I don't feel like continuing this discussion.
I didn't come here to argue with anyone.

Every single "medication" carries its own placebo effect.

Sure—it must be a placebo if you say so.
By that logic, are all painkillers just placebos too?
We could generalize every single thing that works for someone and call it a placebo just because they believe in it.

ironwolf52 said:the drink actually has 1000mg of L-carnitine!
whereas those cheap CVS tablets only have 300mg ☕

if the L-carnitine is working for you, why wouldn't you just stick with what works? 🤷

I messed up the dosage numbers—but my point remains that the liquid version has more mg than the ampoules.
as for your other question, just head back to my first post to see what I was asking about.

ironwolf52 said:could you clarify specifically what kind of difference you noticed when taking carnitine versus when you weren't?

I already answered that... do a little reading.☕

Nicholas Kern90 said:uh....I mean, I can't find a single link that lists all the benefits... obviously they're great for cardiovascular health, and at doses of 3 grams or more of EPA/DHA, they really help with definition by using fats for fuel... what I've personally noticed is that at higher doses, they just make concentration during studying incredibly intense (no joke, it's something else), plus they're good for bones and joints too...

I have to admit, I don't know anything about that. Are you saying it's good for joints and bone health?
My knees are taking a beating from working out.

Jason Campbell70 said:like I said, it's just the placebo effect😉

?

Yeah—seeing faster body measurements drop over a short window is definitely just the placebo effect👍

jadetiger962 said:Are you 100% certain your results would have been different if you hadn't taken it? Assuming diet and exercise stayed exactly the same?

Yes, because when I stopped taking it for a while, my progress dropped significantly, even though my training intensity and nutrition didn't change one bit.
It feels like I've been throwing money away for over six months on something that isn't actually working, and now I'm just trying to convince myself otherwise. I don't see the point.

jadetiger962 said:Did you even read the article in the link? This isn't about theories; we're talking about proven scientific research.

I haven't read it. I spend every day reading "proven" studies online, only to end up ignoring them because they contradict what I'm seeing.
It’s happened a hundred times before—like how they claim certain substances can help treat breast cancer, yet there are zero results to show for it.
At the end of the day, they can write whatever they want, but if my own body is showing me something else, I'm going to trust my own experience, regardless of how much it bothers people.

10 to 15 capsules a day? There is no way that much of anything can be considered a healthy intake for the body... you wouldn't even take that much Vitamin C at once 😁

correct me if I am wrong 😕

jadetiger962 said:You don't have to; honestly, you're better off not.

Here is a link to my old post regarding L-carnitine, which includes scientific studies on the matter. If you happen to find anything similar that supports your "theory," let me know:

I really don't need some theory to debunk what I already know from firsthand experience.

Theories are always messy—one group says this, another says that.
Why can't you just accept the fact that my own experience proves it works? I know exactly what my results were before I started taking L-carnitine, and I know exactly what they were during and after usage.
I see you all aggressively explaining to people in other threads how this stuff is useless garbage, yet none of you actually have six months of experience using it yourselves.

I get the feeling you're all just here on this thread to prove a point to yourselves.
And I can sense a bit of provocation coming from you—which is really not what I want here.
