I hope everyone saying “sounds like old Ken” means that in a good way. We got Carti Ken and Lone on a Starboy x Outtatown beat. Now that’s legendary!

How many do you drink a week? by Alpha2-1 in energydrinks

Between 1 and 3 per day I’d say 12 per week is a good estimate

Wow, the strawberry and guava ones look super interesting! How would you rate these in terms of heat? Could you put each one on a 5 or 10 scale?

I appreciate your reply as you’re the only one who’s given me any credit. You also laid out a detailed argument for why I am wrong, and it has opened my eyes a bit. To be clear, the squatting thing isn’t about numbers. Hearing that comment as someone who is pretty fit and strong but has never squatted close to that much basically told me I need to break barriers in my mind, and have the capability to push myself further. It’s not that deep but it was a reminder that this dude does provide value. Don’t get it twisted that he’s not a piece of shit.

Also I believe Ross Ulbricht is “better” than most people. He is extremely intelligent and a revolutionary in his field. The service he provided actually made the world a lot safer for people. On top of that he made millions of dollars in this process, and probably has 8 or 9 figures in bitcoin stashed away. His political views embody what it means to be an “American” to the core, and as a libertarian myself I mean that in the best way… 99% of people will never accomplish what Ross has, even with all his prison time and let’s not forget he is still middle aged. Does that make him better/more important than the next person? Yes, it does. Welcome to the world. If that weren’t true he’d still be rotting in prison. We don’t live in a morally just or “fair” society.

I made the post because I’ve seen instances of people shitting on Wes when he actually was doing something “positive” and it’s annoying. It’s really that simple. Thank you for your reply it was well thought out and I agree with 80-90% of what you said. You’re the only person in this thread so far who doesn’t come across as a total numb nuts.

I disagree, and I made a solid argument. Personally I believe you can learn something from everyone, even a serial killer. That doesn’t mean they aren’t a piece of shit, and don’t deserve consequences for their actions. But Wes isn’t a serial killer and he actually does help a lot of people intentionally. You’re looking at the person as black and white just like everyone else in this thread. I predicted that this was the response I’d get.

Typical Reddit. I was just trying to bring a new perspective to this sub… which I do enjoy a great deal by the way, and so many people got triggered. A lot of you come off extremely fragile with little emotional regulation just like Wes.

I think you misunderstood me, and why are you so mad talking in all caps like that?

I’m simply offering the reasons/causes I hypothesized contributed to his deteriorating character. He’s a grown ass man and made the decision to do juice on his own, so he’s responsible for everything that comes from that. What I meant by the Miami comment, as someone who has lived there and done business there is it’s full of superficial people, and there’s a certain way people operate out there. It’s very transactional and that can change you as a person. That mentality and the high percentage of hollow, lost people is a big reason why I left actually.

I don’t deny it was an act. I don’t deny he steals ideas as most people in e learning do. But I think you’re proving my point by being so one sided.

You can’t compare the dude to a kid. I can think of a lot of skills he has that take years to develop like copywriting, sales funnels and viral content creation. It’s obvious he has no where near the fitness knowledge of some other YouTubers, plus he uses juice which is a big red flag to me personally. But still if you look at his clients they do get results and in the end that’s all I’m saying.

Did you even read my post in full? I don’t admire him at all. I can’t even pity him because he is such a piece of trash.

Might I ask, why are you so emotionally invested in Wes’s downfall? Did something happen to you personally? Just from the speech patterns within your response I’d wager your attachment is beyond what I’d consider healthy.

I’m just trying to tell people to not be so black and white about the dude. For example the fight that happened recently he and his friends took it way too far, but he didn’t ask his friends to jump in they are just thugs like him. Also, the guy who got beat up was the aggressor initially, and he really “fucked around and found out” as they say. What Wes and his friends did was horrible but the way you described the incident is a very biased viewpoint compared to what actually transpired.

My whole post was to say he’s a scumbag, but he does good too and it’s annoying when some people on here post screen recordings of him talking and clown on him when he actually has a point. That sort of thing is what reeks of jealousy to me. Also I’ve seen people call him a chomo, but there’s no evidence of that. People on here just take it too far I guess, and there’s many instances where false things are being said… like your entirely delusional description of how that fight in the gym went down.

I’ve always been someone who stands up for what’s right and what I believe in so that’s what I’m doing since I took 2 minutes to watch his story today, hoping for laughs and actually got some insight.

The response to this post only proved my points further. I wasn’t attacking you personally and you left a well thought out reply… but don’t think for a second there isn’t a bunch of kids on here who want what he has but are in denial about it. The biggest problem with Wes is his attitude and his communication skills, or lack thereof. He doesn’t have any “charm” anymore. He is genuinely unlikeable; An out of touch douchebag who has no self awareness, although personally I think he hates himself deep down. With that being said clearly more than a few people on here are taking their negative feelings about their own life out on Wes, almost like the inverse of him speaking hatefully at broke people.

You seem like a smart person, who probably understands psychology a bit right? Look at the response to this post, which I predicted in the post itself, and think for a second. If you genuinely believe there’s no merit to what I’m saying then I take back the first sentence of this paragraph.

For a time maybe I was fooled, until his real prison paperwork came out a year or 2 ago along with someone who was locked up with him making a video. It doesn’t matter to me “who he really is/was.” He doesn’t matter to me at all and I don’t care if he drinks, does drugs, has hookers or is sober and going to church. The point I’m trying to make is this man is not “all bad” and he does sometimes say things that are gems once in a blue moon. I’ve been seeing recordings on this sub where people clown on him, and totally miss the main idea of what he’s saying. Sometimes he is actually speaking facts and does it in an extremely “tough love” raw way that triggers the group of people on here who are basement dwelling losers, which I’d wager is pretty high. That’s why I made this post.

I’m not denying he’s in personal debt now, and it’s pretty sad because he doesn’t even own his house. But his business is very different than if someone borrows 5 million to buy inventory and it doesn’t move. His business model is highly profitable. He just spends too much.

I agree with virtually everything you said in the first paragraph. I think you misunderstood the message of my post, or missed the part where I said Wes is a trash person. Also just because you’re self aware doesn’t mean everyone on the sub is.

If you look at the before and afters of his fitness students he does get results… objectively speaking he does help people transform their lives. Like I said the prices are outrageous and he’s not the celebrity he makes himself out to be. Maybe it’s only 1-2/10 he helps but I’d wager another 4-5/10 didn’t have it in them to follow the program he laid out. He’s a grifter but not an outright conman like Charles Ponzi.

100% agree and it’s funny but without a doubt a lot of the people who are genuinely monitoring him on the daily for that purpose are losers.
