This made me think of this thread.

I agree that basically all of these things are negatives in our society. And pervasive at that. But on an individual level, at least at our age (and presumably greenboy’s), they’re pretty avoidable, right? Like, I have an awareness of the concepts you just listed, some more than others, but to me, there’s no reason an adult male in his 30’s should even have THOT as a part of their vocabulary. Half the time I see that word, I have to re-google it because I don’t remember what it means. I still don’t really understand what it’s really supposed to mean, and how it’s not just synonymous with ‘ho’. But anyway. It’s just weird when I see people on the internet who are allegedly my age talking about things like beta orbitters and thots as if they are relevant to that person’s life. They don’t have to be. That’s a choice that every person who participates in that sub-culture makes.

yeahhhh that’s what we talking about. you nailed it
the need for greater self-inspection and intellectual honesty about one’s own thoughts, activities, behaviors.
I’ve had to do it. The me-too movement has made me better, because I’ve had to be brutally honest with myself about things I’ve said and done. I’ve made fewer excuses for my shitty behaviors, and it’s made me a better human being.
I think everyone benefits when more women have a place in politics. It broadens the political ideologies that are eventually inserted into law.
Better educated women certainly benefits everyone, specifically the next generation. Women with a better education can then in turn educate their own children better.

And hasn’t it been expressed 1000000000000000000000000000000000x that we are mainly talking about what is starting to happen, what began to happen in our age group but is more prominent with younger males???
Do I have to bold it every single time? what is with the cognitive dissonance ?

how many cycles have you ran? out of curiosity because weren’t you in your early 20s in the pic you posted on the floor with a gamepad in your hand?
was I arguing with you? nope, just making an observation. One that was directed at Brick, at that. Chill.

but not just you, everyone in here seems to ignore what we were saying and continue to give us the self-help shtick.
I was 18 in that picture.
I ran my first cycle after lifting naturally for 12 years. I’ve posted pictures of myself before I ran my first cycle. They are in my log and elsewhere.
I’m also not talking about drug use on public forums anymore. So that’s all ya get.
Yeah, so before you go laughing…
I was an athlete since the age of 10, prep school star and eventually NCAA bound until I tore a ligament really bad. So at 18 while you were a skinny gamer I was top level.
Do I look like you now? No absolutely not but I’ve also not had the benefits of god knows how long of sport supplements. But that’s not a dig at you, you look great bro, just don’t be so… ya know.
ok? congrats high school superstar? I was busy earning a national merit scholarship that paid for my entire education. But that’s cool that you almost went to college for sports.
TBH, I don’t really know what you’re getting at here. I’ve been very candid about the fact that I WASN’T an athlete at that age. That I hadn’t achieved anything athletically before I was in my 30’s. Do you think I’m ashamed of that? Furthermore, do you think I care what ANYONE did when they were 18?
not only does God know, but you do. Because I said I lifted naturally for 12 years, that picture was when I was 18, and I’m 35 now. So 5. 5 years of ‘sports supplements’, on and off.
And again. I’ve posted pictures of myself before those supplements. I don’t know why you’d be so contentious about this aspect of what I’ve said here.

I know you’re going to get butt hurt by this but I just couldn’t help but think about Al Bundy while reading about your golden years

Hell yeah. Every high school star does lol
I was naive. I wish I was into the sports supplementation at the time, I wish I knew. There were whispers, I don’t know why It never clicked with me. Who knows what would have happened, if I could have fully recovered. My parents were never sport parents, they weren’t involved and no one ever came to me and said "hey dude, maybe you should ya know… "
Not saying I condone that, but now when I think back to it there were tons of kids that man now I know. Now I know how all of a sudden in a year they were totally different people, and they ended up going places like Duke on a full ride.
Again, it’s that American culture. Steal, lie, cheat until you make it.
EDIT: and then preach and write a book about the virtues of hard work and dedication lol

How about mine?
Also lifelong natural, also torn ligament.
In fairness, that photo is a year old. I don’t take a lot of shirtless photos, but that time I wanted to document a hickey I got on my chest from an atlas stone.

eh. if you had what you’re essentially describing as career ending ligament damage, not much you could have done.
@T3hPwnisher, we all know you aren’t natural. because jawline. and reddit.

was the tare in the chest? what’s up with the hickey side pec or is that just from holding the phone? I dunno looks odd
yeah, I need abs. I gotta lose body fat around the stomach. the abs make the entire physique, especially in pics, which fucking sucks because it’s the hardest thing to maintain.
his knee exploded.
The hickey thing you’re talking about is just where the pec/delt attachments are. That’s just how his pec is shaped.

Tear was the ACL. Ruptured it and tore the meniscus. Also fractured my patella.
The hickey is from an atlas stone, like I said.
It sounds as though you may have overstated your physique.
