Still looking for the link again of that study I read, struggling at find anyone that includes majority fiber again.

As long as you get nutrients you need and more calories in then out you can bulk. I will say, if body building was the explicit goal I would aim for a closer mix of high fiber and protein. Which luckily is easy with beans, peanuts and peas as the main staples.

I remember vagualy enjoying playing ME:A but I, for the life of me, do not remember what it was about. I can how ever debate decisions I made in ME:1 lol

It had good bones just didn't get fleshed out in the writing to me. Neither the characters nor the lore grabbed me enough. I think I even beat it, but again i couldn't really tell you if that's true or not

TIL Zuck is diluting META/FB’s stock and fleecing shareholders (401ks) to pay his personal California Tax Bill, subsidize hundreds of billions in lawsuit settlements/fines, and float the slop bubble.

Not retiring, 401ks, and some union and public sector pensions. Listed from most common to least common.

There is also social security and Medicare both of which are supplemental pension and health insurance which contributes some for working class people

Man I miss when the "pick your color" ending for ME3 was controversial because the trilogy was so beloved that anything but a momunental ending wouldn't feel like enough.

The trilogy still was awesome and I still like the debates about the choices in that game!

Can be good. I ride my bike when I can, but my area IS NOT built for it, so it actually pretty risky. Heck some normal routes for me would probably get me stopped by the cops for recklessness.

Funny how that is

Honestly very much not my experience unfortunately. It's amazing how many "dudes into hisstory" are swept in by most stories generals and dictators told people about themselves.

Like yeah was the Slaver general really a "good Christian man", no he was an asshole, who nearly died shitting in the woods like the rest of the world.

So many people romantisize the Roman empire but in reality that was after it really went to shit for most people. ( Which is really hyped by "great man history" problem in which people latch onto specific names and figures instead of actually considering that in reality it was the choices of millions and the circumstances they found themselves in that mattered WAY more then what one dude said to his friends, senator/etc or not)

No the Americas wasn't a "virgin" new land ripe for the takening. Totally undeveloped or unexplored. The forests weren't just bustling full of game and food suspiciously safe for people to eat for no reason.

John Brown reaction to slavery is actually pretty fucking reasonable. Both because it should make you sick to your stomach to see it but also the assholes who did it shot and killed some of his familey.

Etc, etc.

What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

Remember a lot of effort and money is spent into brainwashing us from young ages to be constantly be buying shit we don't need and to feel like we are living bad lives if we don't have it.

Remember it's bullshit, remember that you are more than the fucking trinkets and landfill filling they want you to trade all your time for.

Boycott shit, find any reasonable moral cause as a good reason not to buy something. There's almost always a good reason not to buy something that you don't need.
