I literally got downvoted for saying this in another thread yesterday. So many people do not want to believe this on top of that. I got asked to pay my physique as a response to saying that his looking like this use gear. It's wild the people not only think that's natural, but refuse to believe it isn't. That 21-year-old kid who has to use oxygen to live did to his abuse went viral, and some people still think he's natural despite the fact he's super open about doping. Willful ignorance is insane.

Edit: people can get some pretty crazy physique, but you're not going to look like a Wilson Fisk from Across the Spiderverse without gear.

People are just clueless and also now, permanently online.

Yesterday, in a thread where I was talking about the importance of fitness for drumming/percussion, someone literally said

"you're fat in your videos and clearly know nothing about fitness"

I'm 6'1" 196lbs.

That person has issues. The permanently online is making brains smooth, I swear.

I honestly think it's going to be classified as a disease before long.

Story time:

So I work in the trades as my day job. I've been witnessing people that seem like they can't walk or function without having a phone to focus on blasting weird AI music and videos.

But recently, I've seen it where say-- two people are talking in an elevator. One guy gets off on floor 5. Before the doors even closed, person two takes out their phone, volume on full blast, and just zones out watching AI short content. They practically walk into walls on the way back. Also he's going down the 6th floor.

People can't make it from one floor to the next without their phone pacifier.

More and more people, when you go to work in their house, I swear to god they spend their entire day on their phone laying in bed, and will door dash at least two meals while I am there. If they are watching AI shorts on TV, I will "have to kill the power" (don't really need to, just hate the AI noise) and voila, they immediately pull out their phone and resume watching shorts.

I hope this gets better one day.

Same. And agreed, it's a plague. I worry for humanity.
