    the funny thing is the opposite of this exists. Being upfront about your beliefs and having people say their pronouns and stuff is probably a pretty good whatever-this-guy-is filter.

    ooooh how i hate identity politics it just makes me so mad!

    anyway i think the problem with this political org is that they're not manly enough, and need to put aside other political goals in favor of becoming more masculine for its own sake.

      The funny thing about macho exercise culture is they really hate cardio and think it's for women. It'll probably filter out gym bros too because they think that running for 5 miles will make them grow boobs or something.

    If you complain about "blue haired tattooed women" you should be filtered out.

    That's actually what leftist groups do in my area. It helps to get people away from gang culture while still feeling like they belong in something.

    stalked this person a bit, their entire recent post history is talking about how doctors should prescribe obese people nicotine gum/vaping. Reject modernity, retvrn to 9/10 doctors reccomending the smooth taste of Malboro

      Bro science gym dudes take obscene amounts of caffeine to do this as it "burns calories" and boosts their workouts. I think they believe 100mg of caffeine burns 100 calories or something. It's a whole field of bro science supplementation, this. People suggesting different stuff to "burn calories" with little proof. Like nicotine patches and gum as well, like the Reddit bro in your comment suggested.

      Personally I think that they should just stick to creatine and vitamin D lol. Hell even GOMAD, which can be absolutely disgusting even as dudebro gym diets go, is better than being zoinked on 1000s of milligrams of caffeine pills a day, or developing a nicotine addiction.

        my bf does a ton of caffeine and it did boost his gains :sadness: not good for calories that shit is dumb anyways you need calories to be beefy, reason you do caffeine for workout is it gets the blood flowing quick while not using energy you can spend for building muscle. all the biggest bodybuilders do it. creatine and vitamins are obviously good too. my bf follows various scientific studies and replicates their results to good effect

          Yeah you can definitely use caffeine effectively to boost performance, which professional sportspeople and I guess your boyfriend does. It's just some people don't and think it's some magic calorie burning elixir that will get them to a super low body fat percentage quickly and easily. There was recent controversy about a big soccer team getting lots of their players diagnosed with something so they could take more caffeine, for an example of professional sportspeople using it. And bodybuilders as you said. Just don't be out there chugging 10 monsters a day or something lol.

            300mg of caffeine is what he says he does, which is like 3 cups of coffee/monsters :shrug-outta-hecks: hes also like 280 pounds of pure muscle so that means not much for his bodyweight

            big part of a bodybuilder is keeping the calories flowing and getting oxygen to your muscles. he eats easy to digest foods and stuff and the caffeine helps keep the conveyor belt flowing. like i said hes an absurdly big dude, like could compete and potentially win, he just doesnt do it cause he thinks cutting/dehydration is unhealthy and itd take too much of his time up

            hes picked me up and thrown me like 15 feet onto a bed with like no effort :soviet-heart:

              Yeah exactly for his body weight that's perfectly healthy and fine, your boyfriend definitely knows what he's doing there lol. There's a difference between what he does, based on actual science and healthy, and some bro science guy chugging 1000s of mg of caffeine pills and 5 bang energy drinks a day lol.

        You basically just described the original Hydroxycut formula, which some drug tests would pick up as being trace amounts of meth.

      At the same time, we're also superhumans who will destroy women's sports by breaking every record

      wonder where i've come across that "too strong and too weak at the same time" before :thinking-about-it:

      It's hilarious because there's a germ of a good point in there (staying fit and healthy aids in things like running from police or punching fascists, and keeps you alive and gives you the energy to generally do praxis for longer) but it's buried under a mountain of Strasserism
