To be fair I looked into the pretentious fashion company behind this and they sell small bags for like >$600 so I guess this is kind of a bargain if you’re into that world

Ooh how is the clear protein? I saw it once but never tried it, is it goopy still like a regular powdered shake?

I think it’s not drawing the line but rather choosing your battles based on what is realistic for you.

Right so the main trap that happens is you never allow yourself any stillness (call it whatever you want: rest, calm, acceptance) because there’s always something of urgent importance you think you should be doing.

But that’s a classic recipe for burnout, and what happens is people crash super hard and then they’re not only doing nothing for the problem that stressed them out in the first place, but everything else in their life suffers as well.

You can’t carry the weight of needing to take care of your aging parents and work a demanding job and dedicate your life to climate activism and anti genocide activism and voting reform and human trafficking and animal abuse and and and and and…

You just can’t. The same way you just can’t deadlift a thousand pounds. Accepting that fact doesn’t make you spineless, it just means you know how much your spine can take before it snaps.

In short: radical acceptance is taking time to read a novel and spend time with your kids even if the world is ending. It’s not an endorsement of ending the world, it’s accepting your limitations and deciding that life is worth living regardless

Beautiful little guy

Iirc this bug was crucial for the act 2 skip

Keep preaching!! How do I get involved??

I’d meet in the middle if we could just be done with it once and for all

which is why you’re getting argued with

What an interesting way of phrasing why you personally felt the need to make it into an argument rather than simply a discussion of a point that may need clarification.

Also interesting that “what I said” is totally different from your summary. I stand by what I said. I don’t know why anyone would assume the researches comparing protein sources in this hypothetical would bafflingly allow the control group to consume less protein. Regardless, now that the clarification has been provided, do you have any interest in the topic? Or are you just in an arguing mood today?

Correct, and my assumption is they would perform even better if they were given that protein from food rather than from supplements

Notably, they would need to do that, otherwise the study would just be comparing higher/lower protein intake and not protein sources

Typically studies equate protein intake

My assumption is the non-supplement group would actually perform better. Actual food has tons of other nutrients the body uses for countless other tasks that are directly and indirectly related to muscle building

Depends tbh I’ve definitely known some seriously gossipy people who clearly spend a ton of time thinking about others

Came from very little. Running the dish washer, laundry, cleaning the shower, putting food in my cart. All of it fills me with a powerful gratitude, every time. Might come a day when I miss doing it, you know?

How do they manage that? Like where do the ads actually display?

No way. It’s definitely impossible for us to ever be deceived. Get a hold of yourself

Wow! Your food posts are masterworks honestly, thank you for the delight and the inspo!

I’m a fruit pilled peach cel. I’m in my yummy snack src

I heard it, but the corporations responsible also don’t care when I say it

The statement of fact you hold in contention can be confirmed by any doubtful reader by numerous sources that appear in a quick web search

You are simply factually mistaken about the nature of herbivores generally. You are also, intentionally or not, engaging in equivocation between the concepts of what is nutritionally required to eat and what is biologically required to function further down the line. You are also engaged in an ongoing adjustment of your argument, apparently just for the sake of argument, without addressing the serious issues with your argument as it was originally presented.

For these reasons I’m not terribly interested in an ongoing dialogue with you on this topic. It’s simply not a productive use of my time to keep on reading large papers you link to but haven’t read yourself, then correcting the claims you make that the evidence you provide doesn’t support. I also do not feel any need to directly address the false claims you falsely accuse me of making, when my above posts already clearly contradict them. I trust that readers with a genuine interest will be able to navigate these posts without issue, and then delve into the textbooks worth of fully unsimplified research if it strikes their fancy to do so.

Have a good day
