I think we may agree on these things Zip.
Like you, I watch forums and subreddits and am gobsmacked by wantonly risky behavior engaged in by many, many people. Those sampling a dozen or more peptides or other substances simultaneously and having only the slightest understanding of what they are meant to do leave me shaking my head.
Banal but troubling, the percentage of users unable to grasp the idea of dilution is very high. Nor do they have the simple math skill needed to reconstitute dry peptides to a reliably accurate dosage. How many of the constant complaints of excessive side effects, or conversely, claims of weak/"bunk" peptides are actually user incompetence? Quite a lot I believe.
Skipping from one substance to another on the barest of pretexts and with little to no observable justification - I can't fully comprehend it. It seems a strange recreation, and frankly, more like a sensation-seeking addiction.
Moving from one research peptide to another to actively pursue, objectively measure, and observably achieve lasting improvement in one's health through weight loss? Well that's safe, square, pedestrian, boring, but scientific and practically virtuous in comparison!
Is it possible to distinguish "being a little chicken" from prudence?
I'm not at all certain we can, or need to do, as they may well be the very same thing.
If you don't mind, Zip, I'll just cluck, peck and crow along here with you.
