I’ll sometimes try protein shakes when I see vegan ones I don’t recognize at the store. I’ve had a few very bad ones. Most fall into that “well, it tastes decent for a protein shake I suppose.”

I’m vegan and struggling with my weight for a while, bought a Huel subscription and it is really helping. I’ll get my measured out meal, then fill up on water and tea, but the shakes by themselves are surprisingly filling.

Portion control had been my biggest struggle. It’s easier to say no to another meal shake than getting seconds of something else, and the shakes do taste good. Well, the chocolate does, the Vanilla is… not amazing.

I’m also keeping up on it more cause I don’t want the hassle of modifying the order.

The other big thing that keeps me at it is weighing myself every day and logging it in a health app.

A few years back there was a guy who managed to get his US citizenship revoked while overseas at an embassy. He ended up not getting citizenship in his country of choice and was deported to USA, where he was denied entry. Ended up in South America somewhere as a stateless refugee.

A friend of mine worked in home depot, there was an old guy who worked there, loved to sexually harass younger women. They complained, multiple times, raised the issue higher in corporate. Corporate came down and declared it a “he said she said” situation even with multiple complaints, one of them being a customer. Did nothing, old guy got worse when he realized he could get away with it.

More complaints, woman who made the newest complaint got a talking to for bringing up a situation that had been settled.

If you read the article, it’s because the tiny particles of carbon from the wood are less damaging for the environment then filling the upper atmosphere with aluminum particles when they burn up upon reentry.

I’m drinking cheap matcha, I wish I was drinking nice matcha.

I currently have a prime sub, but anything I watch on prime I just pirate instead. I’m on linux so torrenting gets me better video quality.
