I won't tag bware since he already bid his goodbyes. But Threads like this are always funny. Times will change. Nothing is constant. This sentiment prevails everywhere. Richer older folks complaining about how everything has gone to shit, never truly appreciating how far things have come. Whether it being a wider acceptance of AAS and a better recognition that folks that use gear aren't raving musclebound anabolics-seeking lunatic-zombies (or whatever scare tactic has been used to scare folks off gear).
Instead they focus on people they feel are unworthy of whatever status has been bequeathed unto said target of dislike. You can almost hear the: "who the fuck is this newbie saying so much like he knows everything ?.."
Believe me, This sentiment exists everywhere. Since I've spent the larger part of my older years in academia, i can't but suspect a great deal of this angst resides in such sentiment.
The thing to ask when dealing with a "know it all" is whether is being said is correct or at least backed up with some sort of evidence. The best way to handle the situation is to counter/refute with our own evidence even if anecdotal or based on experience... and when it that fails, let it slide.
Time will always test all proclamations and predictions.
Instead we are reduced to ad-hominems about whether a poster doesn't have a life or that they talk too much, then spend extra time complaining about rude non-chinese vendors of china based UGLs. (of which I've always wondered whether some folks would be as displeased with chinese UGLs if they were domestic.. I digress)
Meso may have been a certain way, but the world is changing. knowledge base is increasing, more compounds being discovered. I would rather pick what useful info I can get, or position myself to benefit more from vendors because of exchanges, than waste time with questions about why whatsapp is slower than Gmail or why BTC is not moving as fast as ETH.
Finally, vendor threads are not MESO. There are hundreds of topics on MESO. Instead people hang around vendor threads, where emotions are usually testy and on edge, then come out to say the forum has gone to shyte. There's tons of old stuff people can pick from. When I finally joined this forum, some dude was talking about doing DNP and Reta. He was given sound advice, yet he did what he did. In the end, he is an interesting case study. Stuff like that keep me here. And occasional trashtalking on QSC thread.
I don't want to talk about QSC. We all know exactly why QSC is popular. It's the same reason shein is popular. Why Alibaba, Ali express and Temu sell massive amounts of products in the US. Everyone loves a good deal if the price is right. The best anyone can do is help review these goods to ensure the standards remain decent, otherwise pay people more money so they can shop at Macy's or Nordstrom.. instead of duking it out at the clearance rack at Burlington (where I tend to find good stuff too
)
