How Often Should You Shower?

[Paul2]

wow.  soulgrind beats me on archery and frogger.   And I thought I was good but soulgrind is better.

Haha haha. I wish I can access the arcade on my phone. Can't wait to see the scores on my computer tomorrow.

i was bored, also everyone inserts themselves into any conversation, unless spoken directly to.
You gave advice which wasn't completely accurate. It's a big misinformation that diet is the only factor in shitting often, which is how it comes across in your post. I was simply filling in the gaps. So i hardly call it fatuous, although this back and forth is.

The only conclusion I can come to is that your are just refusing to accept responsibility and are attempting to lie your way out of it, or you're e-socially awkward.

My post was very informal and suggested he alter his diet to improve his poop-schedule. I in no way implied that this was the only way he go about achieving this. Your saying I did is simple dishonesty to cover your mistake. It's debatable whether my post implied that this was the best/easiest way to go about this. Regardless, it was certainly fatuous to smugly insert yourself to completely contradict me (and with false/misleading information). Furthermore, whereas it might be argued that I implied this was the "best" way to go about improving bowel regularity, it is unequivocal that you explicitly stated that metabolism is Soully responsible for stool frequency.

If you were truly attempting to add to the conversation, you wouldn't say "You're wrong. Diet is unimportant, it's all about metabolism" without actually explaining in the following sentence how one can improve one's metabolic rate, and certainly without acknowledging the role diet can play.

Now I ask you, did you jump in without thinking and make a mistake, or are you just completely inept at detecting and applying the subtleties of human interaction in an online setting? The former is completely forgivable as it is something we are all guilty of doing, while the latter might qualify you for some kind of government pension.

wow, did I hit a nerve? If you didn't imply that diet was souly responsible for poop frequency then how can you not accept that I didn't imply metabolism is. Also, insults are showing your lack of maturity. Grow up buddy.

 wow, did I hit a nerve? If you didn't imply that diet was souly responsible for poop frequency then how can you not accept that I didn't imply metabolism is. Also, insults are showing your lack of maturity. Grow up buddy.

I'll re-quote myself with a little emphasis:

whereas it might be argued that I implied this was the "best" way to go about improving bowel regularity,

it is unequivocal that you explicitly stated that metabolism is Soully responsible for stool frequency.

If you can't see the difference between those two statements, I don't know what to tell you.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

how is

"wrong on diet.. Metabolism dictates how often you shit.. diet is more about how easy the turd passes.

unequivocal? i even state that diet is about how easily the stool will pass. I said metabolism dictates how often.  I even said later they both play a part in each other.

Let me explain this to you a little easier.
diet = stool softness = passes easier, your not constipated etc
metabolism = how quickly said stool will be made by the body when food is being processed. 
Metabolism = faster turd output.
Diet = easier to pass.
They go hand in hand, i simply stated that metabolism plays the biggest role.
I really don't understand what's not to get. Unless your totally constipated which wouldn't be all of the time.
I'll say it again, ask fat mates how often they shit. Ask thin ones too. Do a average and get back to me.

As for learning how to increase metabolism, i guess i thought just like your original post. Paul will figure that out for himself.  You stated that he'll have to change his fiber intake. So i guess that's totally unequivocal, he'll have to do nothing else, [exercise] since you didn't outline a entire diet / exercise plan for him or even mention the fact exercise plays a role.
Just because you say you implied it, doesn't make it so. You read my statements like they're concrete.[set in stone for you yanks] I'll read yours the same

ps. when did i say diet is unimportant? putting words in my mouth eh

[Bobs_Hardware]

Let's recap and try to simplify even more:

Paul said: As a child I used to shit (on average) once every 3 days and this this seems to be normal for adults.
I said: If you're only shitting once every 3 days you probably have a poor diet.
You said: You are wrong about diet. It only (with regards to bowel movements) affects firmness of stool. Metabolism is responsible for stool frequency.
I said: Pretty sure there is more to it than just metabolism
You: Lies and misinformation to cover up your fuckup.

Any website you go to will suggest 3 things to increase stool frequency: More water, better diet, more exercise. Constipation is defined as shitting less than 3 times a week and have a hard and small stool. Shitting once every 3 days is less than 3 times a week.

I did not provide complete information to improve his stool frequency. I was not offering a diagnosis. My post was referencing that his constipation was probably a symptom of poor diet. This is true. It might also be an indication of lack of exercise though I did not suggest this. It might also be an indication of some forms of cancer, but I didn't feel the need to point this out. It's fine to provide more information, but it is not fine to say that my original (light hearted) assessment was false. It was not false. The information you provided was false, and smugly delivered. The definition of fatuous.

ps. when did i say diet is unimportant? putting words in my mouth eh

What?

wrong on diet.. Metabolism dictates how often you shit.. diet is more about how easy the turd passes.

In the context it is very clear. You say I am wrong with the assumption that because he is constipated he probably has a poor diet. According to you, metabolism dictates frequency of bowel movement, diet is about the firmness of the stool. Diet is not important with regards to how often you shit. This is EXACTLY what you said.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

at no point did paul say he was constipated. Simply that he shits every few days. Show me where he said he was constipated, that's a assumption on your part.

you wouldn't say "You're wrong. Diet is unimportant, it's all about metabolism"

i didn't say that.

At no point have i ever said diet is unimportant. I've said and I'll say it again, metabolism plays the biggest role in frequency of shitting. Everything else, diet + exercise = faster metabolism = faster turds.

fatuous = pointless. not smug or false. Like this back and forth. Pretty sure we agree on the same things. Just different variations of it. I haven't changed my mind and its not misinformation or false. Facts are facts. Metabolism will increase the frequency of needing to shit. It's simply body chemistry. Your body breaks down sugars / food quicker. You can be the fattest f@#k on the planet and eat perfectly good foods. That won't guarantee consistent pooping but i can bet a good amount of cash exercise will get the shit moving

this is the part where u tell me i'm wrong. Trying to cover up my bullshit with your bullshit..
Then i reply again with the same bullshit that you tend to either ignore or misdirect in some attempt to try to make me look like I'm retarded.


ps. i still love you, how couldn't I!? When u comin down to Melbourne to visit and lose at Tekken? or was that adam that was good at tekken. Can't remember now.

Shitting less than 3 times per week is the definition of constipated. If someone shitting once every 3 days then he is constipated. Regardless this doesn't affect the argument.

i didn't say that.

At no point have i ever said diet is unimportant. I've said and I'll say it again, metabolism plays the biggest role in frequency of shitting.

This whole argument is because you said it was unimportant. I'll quote you again

wrong on diet.. Metabolism dictates how often you shit.. diet is more about how easy the turd passes

You are now contradicting yourself to save face and refusing to address the quote that this whole debate is about. It is plain as day. You said my advice on diet was wrong. Diet only helps the stool pass. Metabolism controls stool frequency.

Now you're trying to say that diet contributes to metabolism and that is what you were trying to say - it clearly is not what you said. Just admit that you fucked up.

I recently got back into Tekken after a long hiatus. There's a big tournament on in Brisbane this weekend. Come join us if you think you're god enough. ;-D

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

This whole argument is because you said it was unimportant. I'll quote you again

wrong on diet.. Metabolism dictates how often you shit.. diet is more about how easy the turd passes

at no point in that entire sentence do i say diet is unimportant. Stop putting words in my mouth! I said diet is about how easily it makes to pass turds. Tell me this, why did u recommend more fiber. What is it about fiber that makes shitting more constant? maybe it makes it easier to pass? like i said from the f@#KEN START!!

When you answer this question. Then tell me how i said diet is unimportant.

I never said diet doesn't contribute to metabolism. I said metabolism is the key factor is shitting more. You stated diet is. (at least it read like that) like i said earlier, you can eat healthy. Shit every day but i guarantee you if you exercise and get your metabolism up you'll be shitting more often every day.

as for tekken. I wouldn't fly to brissy to play tekken. I'd go to the gold cost and see shit. Then just play you at tekken. Leave you crying... If u have any online tekkens on ps3, i could find you. Play that way.

Your sentence is broken up in to three separate, easily identifiable sections, each of which have their own purpose:

"wrong on diet.."

This is to contradict my assertion that a better diet will help to improve constipation. Already you have established within your sentence that diet is not important.

"Metabolism dictates how often you shit.."

After establishing in the first sentence that diet is unimportant to increasing stool frequency, your second sentence establishes the sole factor that is important: metabolism. This also establishes that diet is unrelated or contradictory to metabolism.

"diet is more about how easy the turd passes"

The final section of your sentence. Establishing "how easy the turd passes" as being unrelated to metabolism (it rather creates the image of diet being only related to the very final stage of the digestive process), and reinforcing once again that diet is unrelated or contrary to increasing stool frequency.

I will concede that this might not have been how you intended the sentence to come across, but it is in fact the only way anyone with even a cursory understanding of the English language can interpret it. This brings me back to my prior assertion that currently you are either lying and/or manipulating the meaning of words/sentences to save face, or you simply do not grasp the nuances of online social interaction.

Again, it is impossible to glean from this sentence any other meaning than "You are wrong. Diet is unimportant. Metabolism (unrelated to diet) is the only thing that counts." Given that you are engaging in a conversation which involves Paul, whose first language is (probably) not English, and obviously is easily susceptible to ideas online without reference, this is very irresponsible use of language.

As for the definition of fatuous, well this pretty much sums up the whole conversation. What is the point of posting an alternate definition? You claimed my definition was wrong, posting your own definition doesn't vitiate my definition. It just shows there is more than one way to define the word.

[Bobs_Hardware]

Oh, there are a few pretty good Melbourne Tekken players, too. Melbourne is probably the #1 city in Australia for Tekken at the moment. I don't have a PS3, but when T7 comes out on PS4 I'll purchase both and we can play online some time. *thumbs up*

btw, Brisbane is only 1 hour drive from Gold Coast. It is also only 1 hour drive from the Sunshine Coast, so it's a good place to come to visit beaches.

This entire quote is you putting words in my mouth. Wrong on diet was simply stating that there's more to it then just diet. Not that diet as a whole is wrong. Understandable that i could have worded it better, but it's still the meaning i was trying to convey.

Metabolism still does dictate how often you shit more then diet. Sorry buds, it's facts. Diet will improve it but no where near as much as exercise and increasing your metabolism. I've explained this enough, you seem to ignore it. I'm over your pompous, ostentatious attitude. Get over yourself.

As for my statement about the meaning. I could only find one site stating the way you used it, not saying its wrong. Just odd that every other site i came across doesn't have it. 
nuances! how long have you been on the internet for?  Since when is there any online interaction guideline? it's a forum, who gives a shit!

Also, i did say i'd visit you. After i've seen the gold coast etc.
