Going to the gym several times a week feels so dehumanizing.

@NEETzsche
Because I am wasting my finite life, going to a place to work on nothing (no bridge being built, no meat brought home) only to change the way I look for a person I haven't even met.

@NEETzsche
And PLEASE, don't even start with that "you got to do that for yourself" bullshit. That single line made me skip gym for decades.

@LukeAlmighty @NEETzsche Your body is an endowment from the divine. Letting it be a pale image of what it could be is spitting in the face of that source.

It is basic physical maintenance and an enhancement of your kinesthetics, discipline and physical capacity.

You didn’t skip out on the gym because of the pop-culture distillation of that knowlege: “You need to go to the gym for yourself”

You skipped out of the gym because you don’t want to take care of yourself, you like being lazy, you like not trying, it’s the easiest thing in the world to not meet standard by just not setting any for yourself.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a standard that those who have reached it can see you not only wont, but cannot.

@LukeAlmighty @NEETzsche You perceive it as gaslighting, but only because you refuse to do the minimum to take care of yourself. It is 3 days a week for thirty minutes.

You're not being smart, seeing some greater truth. A man should be strong, disciplined, able to endure a little inconvenience or he's just an unsightly child, a burden on those around him.

It's pathetic.

Just get it out.
I don't even care why did my post trigger you, but if you really need to feel superior to a rando on the internet, so be it.

@LukeAlmighty @NEETzsche I don't want to be superior to you. I want you to brush your teeth and bathe you fucking spastic.

@SpaceElf @NEETzsche
And you think that shaming will help you change the world?

Men don't react to shame, but guild. Just a slight advice for the next time.

@LukeAlmighty @NEETzsche What I thought was that you were an adult. That I could illustrate to you that you were failing to perform basic self care, that you were neglecting your responsibilities and failing other people. That it was unpleasant for those who can give you opportunities and would keep said opportunities from your reach, because you’re broadcasting you are weak and lazy.

I tried to remind you that you’re failing yourself by choice, out of sheer laziness, wreathing it in childish complaints, like so very many ‘men.’

I clearly thought wrong because you reacted to being told to do the basic self care routine every adult man should be doing with revulsion and arrogance elsewhere in the thread out of a defensive reflex to protect your man-child status.

But this is an open forum and if I can’t get through to a shameless pig like you, maybe I can plant the seed of a little personal responsibility in someone else.

@SpaceElf @LukeAlmighty Shaming tactics only work on people who you have power over. I don't think you have power over this guy.
