  • The way to beat this system is to build alternatives and wean people off of their dependence on it, and deprive it of victims.

    And how do you propose we do this considering the only way the system can have alternatives is if the system allows for alternatives which (spoiler) >!it won’t!<.

    Whey protein is generally the best protein you can get (in terms of amino acid profile).

    There are some good vegan powders but also some real shite ones that seem to have high protein but of low quality. One with a 70% pea protein and 30% brown rice protein blend is about the closest you can get to a whey powder. I’d be skeptical of one’s that don’t provide an amino acid profile table beside the nutrition facts. Good chance they’re inflating the total protein with poor quality sources.

    Also, like someone else said, you can consider a whey protein isolate. If you aren’t avoiding dairy for ethical/diet reasons and just due to lactose intolerance, good chance you can have an isolate without blowing up your bowels.

    TIL that Japanese people are all autistic.

    edit: an explainer as I can see how this sounds insensitive without context (note that I am not Japanese, this is only from what I have come to understand as an outsider looking in)

    Japanese folklore, as Shinto, puts forth the idea that inanimate objects can have (or develop?) their own (personified) spirits. This has carried over to modern behaviour and beliefs, where personification of objects is quite common.

    Even if most Japanese don’t identify as being of Shinto faith/spirituality, and probably don’t believe that random inanimate object X has a living spirit within it, items are often treated with great care as though they were to have a spirit. (theory time: maybe this plays a part in why you can often find used items in such good condition in Japan…)
