Do You Filter Your Peptides Before Use?

Personal story: when I first tried "pinning" myself with Polaris's peptides, I gave myself cellulitis (redness, heat, tenderness, indurated region of about 10x6cm directly at the site of injection) which I had to treat with 5days of antibiotics. I thought I had just broken sterile procedure, so the next week I went extra hard on using lots of new alcohol swabs on rubber tops, on my skin, marked my skin pinning site w/marker etc. Within 24hrs I got another hard, red, hot site of cellulitis and again I had to treat myself with antibiotics to clear it. I blamed Polaris for likely contaminated product and thought about contacting them to complain, but then realized the fault was mine for not filtering the products. Ever since then SYRINGE FILTERING ABSOLUTELY for everything and problems solved.
Not likely cellulitis (if self-diagnosed), per Google Gemini:

Wearing a mask in public is a sign of submission to propaganda and mental illness. lol
Believing this is a sign of unwarranted self-righteousness and political indoctrination. Some people need to avoid getting sick for lots of reasons. For example during flu season I’ll mask in public for a few days/week before a big trip because I don’t want to be sick on my vacation. If you see me with my mask and automatically believe that it’s because I’ve submitted to propaganda when in fact I’m just a guy controlling what I can so I don’t feel like shit on my holiday, who is the one that has in fact been indoctrinated? You seem really, really lodged deep in your right wing media ecosystem, maybe this example will help you to see that.
 
I cannot argue your response, but please take another look at my post and see I was comparing Russian roulette to using illicit street drugs with questionable provenance, potentially filled with fentanyl. All the while reconstituting with backwash water bottle, with dirty hands and spoon, and a used needle.
While high as shit in a trap house.

Now that I have done a better job of explaining the problem, would you say the statistical analogy is at least in the realm of comparison, not to mention unadvisable?

as for the rest of your post, I agree completely.

PS:
You may appreciate one of my favorite quotes:
57.6% of all statistics are wrong.
I was never good with word problems, always skimmed them. Now that you clarified, not only must I concur with the premise, but also agree that it is definitely within the realm of comparison, and , mathematically at least, unadvisable.

Everything you just accused me of being, is reflected in your own post. Do you want to be the pot, or the kettle? But, fair enough. I’m not mad at you. We all do what we think is best for ourselves.

What is political about wearing a mask to not spread germs?

This has been standard in places where infection risks are an issue or countries that are more conscientious about this since long before covid. This shouldn't be an issue that causes political division - if you're coughing or sneezing, wear a mask 'cause there's no reason for anybody to get more of those germs on you no matter what way they vote in the booth in november.

Where does projecting (and announcing) your false, politically-driven narrative about other peoples’ motivations for masking fit into this laissez-faire worldview? I’m having trouble squaring that circle.
 
This is not an argument worth engaging in. You can’t change people’s minds that feel the way you do, and that’s ok. To be clear, I am not “far right.” I think anyone who is “far” any direction needs to learn how to think for themselves and stop watching their favorite media outlet.

If you don’t want to argue about masking then don’t make false, insulting, blanket statements about why people wear them. I provided a very reasonable example of why you might see me masking in public from my own actual lived experience—spending thousands on a trip I don’t want to mess up by coming down with the flu or cold or Covid—and instead of internalizing and engaging with that you’re digging in on your weird false belief. I encourage you to step back and reflect on that reaction, considering your initial accusation that they’re a sign of having fallen prey to propaganda. Agreed that it’s not a conversation we should continue but it saddens me when people are so unable to view their irrational beliefs with perspective even when clear evidence is provided.
