  I think that bird thinks GLP-1 and anabolic steroids are similarly dangerous.

  With absolutey no side effects, right? Just take steroids right?
  - wiseowise 1y ago
    Of course not. That's why I've provided an alternative – grind.

      I try to avoid meds usually but sometimes gotta wonder if people who flag+kill comments about GLP or steroids are just thin and buff people who lucked out on genetic lottery and secretly want to maintain their superiority. Like why, gene editing a baby is okay but if your gene expression sucks and your parents couldn't afford crispr you now are to suffer the entire life from body dysphoria and bringing up an easy way out is to be silenced or stigmatized? What are downsides exactly? The rich do these things all the time right?

        I think deep inside of people, the truly miraculous drugs like GLP-1 are subconsciously rejected because they are seen as an attempt to cheat God.

Because when I do it – it is Gods gift/destiny/I deserve this/whatever other bullshit reason to maintain my edge, when you do it – it is because you're weak/just train like others do/you don't deserve it/whatever other bullshit reason why it is your natural place to be there. There was a comment recently how it is "cringe" when you're investing in your looks and learn how to date, because apparently if you weren't born with innate ability to attract – you're supposed to stay this way and be miserable forever.

Ironically, GLP-1 causes a great improvement in kidney and liver function too, and studies are ongoing for a multitude of other weight-unrelated (as well as related) diseases. Everyone should be on it. Benefits for non-overweight people with no addictions are rather marginal but there are almost no downsides.

  I just noticed that OP actually noted GLP in a later comment. Just more evidence that HN downvotes/flags often mean actually you're right and people just feel too butthurt about it.
