>I tried semaglutide and it did nothing to slow rate of weight gain, just produced stomach upset, going up to 2.4mg injectable. I know one other person trying semaglutide and they reported something similar. I wonder if they played some clever games with their choice of patients. My expectation of how the news goes here is a whole lot of people who try semaglutide, maybe after fighting really hard to get on it, and find that it does nothing. That said, I know at least one friend of a friend, if not a friend per se, who claims that semaglutide was their miracle drug. So maybe still worth that hard fight, even if I'm guessing that the real proportion who get nothing out of it will prove to be over 50% in real populations.
>Further fun fact: Semaglutide comes heavily recommended with diet and exercise and many stern injunctions about that! The actual insert sheet includes a graph for how much weight people lose with and without "lifestyle interventions" added. The two graphs are roughly the same.
>>So maybe still worth that hard fight, even if I'm guessing that the real proportion who get nothing out of it will prove to be over 50% in real populations.
He's describing the easy way out (drugs) as a "hard fight."
I have no issue with fatties using these drugs, but how can one man be THAT lazy?
And he still refuses to exercise, even for health reasons, or eat a healthy diet.
I would say low T but dude is hairy af.
body hair has little to do with testosterone
if you have genetics for hair growth then minimum amount of testosterone in your blood will hit the receptors and cause the hair to grow.
>body hair has little to do with testosterone
>Gives Test to ftm chud
>they ALL grow hair
>Gives test to bodybuilder
>they all get even hairier
It literally cannot get more simple than that anon, more test = hairier
>Give test to native american / hairless asian variety
>He grows no body hair because he has no follicles
You just refuted your own point. Most normal men have way more test than even FTM trannies but plenty are quite hairless. So even a half-baked abomination can grow hair when exposed to a little bit of test, provided it has the genetics for it. Women naturally have almost none so they don't grow hair even with receptive follicles.
>Women naturally have almost none so they don't grow hair even with receptive follicles.
Hungarian, Arab, and Southern Indian women would like a word with you.
Yeah some Turks too also grow that little female moustache, hair growth is way more genetics than test related
Not to the same extent, but some asian women and white women also get a bit of a mustache
No, body hair growth is caused by DHT, not testosterone. Since DHT is a metabolite of testosterone, people grow more body hair if you inject them with additional testosterone, but it's entirely possible to have low testosterone and high DHT at the same time. When I was a fatass (BMI of 33), I had testosterone levels of 280 ng/dL (anything < 300 is considered clinically low test) due to the estrogenic effects of adipose tissue and was still about as hairy as that gay.
>i dont understand receptors, receptor density and receptor sensitivity
you gays are so retarded and think biochemistry is some ezpezy shit you can understand after 5 minutes of googling
you are a highschool dropout and you have exactly zero idea how the endocrine system works
fucking dunning kruger retard
That pic related was him at his leanest.
This is what he looks like now
>obese
>fedora
>twig arms
I will never understand why fatties will try literally everything under the sun before simply putting down the fork.
garden gnomes are incapable of physical activity and restraint.
>I have no issue with fatties using these drugs, but how can one man be THAT lazy?
For terminal lardasses, obesity is a mental illness. You can kill their appetite with stims and they will still gorge themselves to death.
Think about situational homosexuality. Some people stop sucking cock ASAP they leave prison/the navy, while others suck cock for life.

>computer whiz kid
He's 100% dissociated from his body and wishes everyday to be a brain in a vat.
Never mind he's pants-on-head fucktarded, lol (
). Really shows that intelligence =/= wizdom.
>intelligence =/= wizdom.
I dont exactly know how does this happen but I also know more than 1 old "genius" software developer and they are literal machines in their fields but outside of that they are retarded over 9000.
The average person is more balanced for some reason.
yeah my mom's a physician with THREE specialties plus one subpecialty/master's and she can be extremely retarded when it comes to everyday tasks and doesn't understand (or refuses to apply) shit like statistical risk - she didn't give a FUCK about covid-19 because "you could be walking down the street and inhale a brain-eating endospore without knowing so why worry about stuff like that"
she also went to art school, architecture school and was a violin child prodigy so it's not like she's uberspecialized in detriment of everything else
meanwhile my blue collar dad is pretty ingenious and never goes full retard
>she didn't give a FUCK about covid-1
Based. Hope she's not vaxxed either.
Kek, I (op) didn't know there was already a thread on this fat fuck.
I don't even hate him, I just want him to start regularly exercising and eating a non-crap diet, for the sake of health, even if he doesn't lose any weight.
He doesn't realize how many of the people encouraging him to make these lifestyle changes are doing so because they previously were "metabolically disprivileged" (
) just like him, and saw tremendous benefits when they made those changes and stuck with them.
>no you can't lose weight by eating less
>because I tried to lose weight by eating more and it didn't work
kek
>For terminal lardasses, obesity is a mental illness. You can kill their appetite with stims and they will still gorge themselves to death.
What's incredible is that he's describing a once-weekly medication that has minor side effects as a "hard fight," as if it's the Battle of Okinawa or something.
This is laziness the likes of which is almost unbelievable, and from supposedly one of the smartest men alive.
>computer whiz kid
He's not one. He just shitposts essays about muh rationality online while living off garden gnomebux. Never seen any evidence of actual technical ability of any kind, just inane repetition of high school level probability theory expressed infofmally.
>garden gnomebux
Thielbux, actually
>genius
the only source for this claim is Big Yud himself. his contributions to discourse are
>copying Bostrom's dumb athropomorphizing of computers and screaming the sky is falling
>saying that only now have we finally discovered rationality and it's reddit
going with no genius on this gross dysgenic clown
AI hype is literally just theology--speculating about something that doesn't exist but is, like, totally important guiz
This
Some of his essays are ok but it's nothing that you can't find in other writers that do rationalism. And let's not forget about this gem, pic related
Dude huffes hard on his own farts
>My fat cells refuse to give up lipids and by dispriviledged body would rather eat muscle instead
If his body worked in the way he imagines he would be dead by now
WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS
Socrates was right, literacy was a mistake
If he could make a real salad as well as he makes word salad, he would have no trouble dieting
Yep, he's just a retarded garden gnome.
For me, the only social media genius figure worth any consideration at all is Langan.
>Yudkowski
>Literally has garden gnome in his name
Lmao I was watching one of the interviews of this fag just today.
Wordcels like him deserve to get fat
He is right about trannies though I’ll give him that
mentally ill freak
Just another Intellectual Yet Idiot type of man, who can't check his own bias outside of his academic specialty.
