Speaking of MLM type scams, this girl I know is into the whole shakeology thing. You basically pay them some outrageous amount of money, I can't remember but I want to say around 150 a month or more, for one "shake" a day. It has ~~special superfood ingredients~~ that a regular healthy diet can't cover and is some big game changer. Also she claims a shakeology has a "Whopping 15 grams of protein!" She's constantly peddling it, and always refers to it as "my business!" Also she's always doing or peddling those "get shredded in 21 days!" types of fitness programs as well. She's been doing this whole thing a few years now, and looks exactly the same as when I first met her, yet still posts photos of how "toned" she has gotten. When she tried to get me to buy it, I told her the deal(politely of course, she is my friend after all) she got fairly upset and wanted to link me some "proof" which were testimonials from their website. e: she also feeds it to her baby too.

You can get that much protein from chicken for like uh a quarter.

It's her life, so she can obviously do what makes her happy, I just hate how its peddling misinformation and preying on the ignorance of others who may be looking into trying to get into shape. She legit thinks the company loves helping people and it's not about making money at all. Pretty cult-like, actually.

   I've unfollowed my cousin since she started this crap, about 6 months after she had a baby. I get the feeling my sister is going to do the same thing when she has her baby.

I'll have you know each serving of Shakeology contains the same nutritional value as: 3 cups of romaine lettuce 4 cups of raw mushrooms 1 shot of wheatgrass 1 bowl of exotic fruit 3 raw onions 7 raw carrots 4 cups of non-fat yogurt 4 cups of red radishes 4 cups of raw broccoli 1 cup of peas AND 10 cups of cauliflower I was given a bag by my friend and it tastes good but for 150 a month I'd rather buy real food. But then again, she makes 80,000 a year being a Beachbody coach so what do I know.

There's a difference between "this guy is an rear end in a top hat" and "omg this guy is an rear end in a top hat who just wants attention so keep giving him attention again and again  ".Like, come the gently caress on.

It'll just make him become more and more obnoxious until he does get the attention he craves. So might as well keep him from escalating and get some catharsis in the process.

But we're not talking specifically about Milo, we're talking about people who say poo poo just to get an angry response and then get a constant, predictable stream of angry responses - usually from people who should know better or routinely end up making that poo poo carry further than it would otherwise would. I mean if you wanna pat yourself on the back for fighting the good fight go ahead, but lets not pretend it's the smart thing to do.

Avenging_Mikon posted:gently caress you. Milo was the first name that came to mind as the thread keeps bringing him up. Use any generic twitter warrior in place of him. When you're screaming at someone that wants you to scream at them, you're not stopping any sort of escalation - it's almost identical to those people that scream about how stupid a jpeg is, sharing it with increasingly angry social media messages attached. That jpeg does not give a poo poo. It will not look any stupider just because you're getting angry at it. vvvv - Hahaha, yeah. poptart_fairy has a new favorite as of 16:39 on Jun 30, 2016 |
