Perceive was the correct word, and in no way implies that it isn't reality. You simply picked a single word and removed it from the context in which it was used to craft a response unrelated to my point.


It’s totally relevant. The thought that there is only a “perception” that these people lack discipline is why there are so many unhealthy people in this country.

They DO lack discipline, that’s just the fact of the matter. That doesn’t make them bad people, but we have to stop making excuses for this shite.

The context in which the word was used matters. However you want to define reality, it is only observable to us through perception. For example, using the word in the way I did: The human eye perceives the sky as being blue. The word "perceive" used in this context does not imply that the sky isn't blue in reality.

You are looking for an argument that isn't there, and I doubt anyone is here to read us finely split hairs about a single word so this is my last post on that subject.

Not with you baw, I just think the distinction is important in the context of this conversation as most people will generate whatever excuse that can to deny their culpability.

I agree with most of the sh*t you post but your delivery makes you come off as so much of a prick that nobody wants to consider your arguments.

The truth hurts sometimes. I talk to myself the same way. Don’t really care if it offends, demand excellence

I read somewhere that one of the major medical associations came out in support as an accepted practice for weight loss. Maybe American Heart Association? One of the big ones.

We're not far from obesity being a literal choice. I think these meds are here to stay and they're going to be more and more widespread whether you like it or not.

First off, you're using too many big words, and, because I don't understand them, I'm going to take them as disrespect. - SmartTech Customer (Kevin Hart) - 40 year-old Virgin

Joking aside, yes, this is all based on choices. For a number of reasons, people backslide on their health. I don't think GLP-1's are a forever solution, but if they can jump start somebody into doing better, then I'm all for it. They then need to follow through and get their diet and exercise in order.

I take it and lost 50 pounds, but don't talk about it. I'm certainly not ashamed of it, but think it's not anybody's fricking business. I'm not the habit of handing out a list of my medical conditions and prescriptions I'm on, so would should this medication be any different? For people that ask how I lost the weight, I always say "eat less, move more". Both of which are true - since getting on the drug, I definitely eat less and I stared exercising daily at the same time, so both those statements are 100% accurate. Is it a lie that I omitted the fact that I'm on GLP-1? I think not, but again, why the frick is it anybody's business?

Free will is an illusion. It’s undeniable the amount of influence upon us. It’s just that one person‘s influences may manifest as successful in the eyes of society, and for others the opposite.

It seems the stigma is fading and I know a ton (no pun intended) of people that are on them...but why is it so hush hush and people talk about it like "don't tell anyone but I heard sally is on Ozempic."



It's pretty obvious the people that are taking it jut by looking at their face

Imagine trying to blame your lack of not being able to shove cinnamon rolls down your gullet on this shite

If their decision to eat to cinnamon rolls wasn’t causal, what was it?

I started working out seriously a year ago. Until I spend a year in the gym and watch a lot of YouTube videos, I don’t think I realized how widespread steroid use is. There’s no way a lot of these dudes in my gym have gotten there naturally. And I say that is someone who’s trying to become a lean not big.

Are you suggesting obesity wasn't a choice 5-10 years ago?

have you ever used a supplement to improve strength or performance? Surely you haven't and have only done it "naturally".


Do I understand you well?

Short cuts = bypassing effort and discipline

Degrees of shameful behavior:

Natural (no short cuts) = no shame
Supplements (no short cuts) = shame
Hormone injections (short cut) = shame

Are you bypassing the bypassing of effort and discipline?
