These always get so weird and I lose the plot. How did we go from longevity dieting to this?

It all started when OP listed off a bunch of random nonsense like wearing a hat “for longevity” but forgot the singular most important aspect: resistance training.
Dude wanted praise, got shit on, then turned himself into a shit sprinkler to soothe his bruised ego.

It’s the immediate turn to personal attacks that continually surprises me. I don’t get why that’s the go-to.

Prolly because OP seemed to be tooting his horn about his new found longevity plan and his already ageless/young look and blue zone poppycock and when people didn’t praise him he took it personal and did the only thing he could think of. Pretty typical it seems as of late.

That’s what I think too. Is it a change or am I just noticing more?

I’m pretty sure his physique looks like a stoned raccoon who discovered the dumpster behind an IHOP.
Wearing a scarf in summer as a longevity tip? I miss the OG titty baby now.

I kinda jumped on him when I got the inclination that he was being a passive aggressive schmuck.
I think thats where the clear pivot downward took place.

I’ve noticed it more in the last year or so. People start a post witha “question” but under the surface they think they have some great idea that nobody has ever considered and they want recognition/validation. When they are questioned or called out they lose their shit.

I think it’s changing. Confirmation bias is a bitch, but id wager it’s happening at a societal level.
Big daddy guvmint doesnt want us to be able to effectively communicate ideas, so we’ve been dumbed down to attacking each others character before their ideas.
“If you don’t agree with me, its because you’re racist” mentality, but with everything.

Well, you know- I love a good “your mom” session as much as anybody.
But you know what else I like?
A good mystery. So I looked back at this thread, and noticed a transformation of sorts. The common theme being the initials JC.
Then Joe78s and JCole45
Putting it all together it looks like somebody, who I’d call Joe Cole has multiple accounts and is messing with us.
Or it could all just be coincidence.

I dunno.

Intriguing! I’m now hooked. Even the ages potentially line up (born in 78 and 45yo).

I think it’s plain that there have been multiple infiltrators, for lack of a better word, the past year or so. Current members need to recognize them by their immediate contradictory and abrasive nature and ignore them. One of the many things my mother taught me was, whether it’s positive or negative reinforcement, an instigator such as these are getting exactly what they want; if you ignore them, giving them zero reinforcement, they get bored and go away.

In counter point: I pretty much never have an intention of changing the mind of the person arguing, but instead allowing their monument to failure to stand present for outside observers to learn from.
We’ve written SEVERAL T-Nation e-books on how to fail at the pursuit of physical transformation, and through Cunningham’s Law have also written several books on effective ways to do so.
