  • Meeting protein requirements for building muscle?

    Jump

  • Haha, I realize that this is a purely cosmetic goal. Even though I have a mostly healthy diet now, I would just like a bit more definition and it feels good to see progress :)

  • Does anyone else identify with a culture due to upbringing that doesn't show up significantly on an ancestry test?

    Jump

  • It does come off as insecure when someone makes a culture they have little connection to a large part of their identity rather than just showing an interest in it, but most of the time it’s harmless and not worth making a big deal over. I would loosely define being part of a culture as fitting in with other members of it: ability to express yourself in the native language and understanding its nuances, familiarity with customs and mentality, not feeling out of place when around natives/locals regardless of your ethnicity or ancestry.

  • Do you pee in the shower?

    Jump

  • Only if I’m already in the shower to wash myself lol.

    Jump

  • Thanks for your advice. I’ll check out MacroFactor. Right now now I’m relying mostly on tofu, beans, lentils, and chickpeas as a protein source. I was mostly curious about what other people are doing and whether it’s worth it to include protein powders.

  • Thank you! I’ll try to find fava bean tofu. It sounds like an interesting product, protein aside, and regular tofu is already a staple food for me. I heard seitan also has high protein content, so maybe I’ll make my own someday.

  • If you can’t handle me at my worm, you don’t deserve me at my best 🪱 💅

  • How would you style this?

    Jump

  • Chunky heel boots, newsboy cap, skinny cargo pants. Black belt, plain comfortable tshirt. Pics resemble what I would wear from a very quick search. These styling posts are fun :)

  • What's the browser(s) you use?

    Jump

  • Librewolf or Mullvad on desktop, Firefox on mobile. Downloaded Ecosia on mobile to try the search engine, so I’m trying out their browser too.

  • Would you rather read minds or be invisible?

    Jump

  • Nope, I was just exaggerating these qualities as a joke, although I really am clumsy and curious :)

  • Would you rather read minds or be invisible?

    Jump

  • Read minds, because I’m nosy and also too clumsy for invisibility to be much benefit.

  • What’s your most controversial opinion?

    Jump

  • I say this as someone who thinks adoption is a wonderful thing to do and is fine with the idea of raising children that are not biologically mine:

    At least in my country, children that are up for adoption often have severe birth/cognitive defects and/or trauma (carrying a healthy child to term and giving it up for adoption is pretty much unheard of). While that’s a risk you face with biological children too, I don’t blame anyone for wanting to minimize that risk by not taking in a child that could require specialized care for the rest of its life with no guarantee of success (this applies to couples who choose to terminate a pregnancy upon discovering the risk of severe defects).

    Adopted children are also more likely to struggle with integrating with their new family compared to a child that you raised from birth.

    Finally, the process for adoption can be very lengthy and expensive, while fertility treatments are sometimes subsidized by governments or employers.

    So, while I personally would never insist on having biological children, I don’t think it’s inherently immoral for others to want them or to not want the challenges that come with adoption.

  • What is your funniest case of misheard song lyrics?

    Jump

  • As much as I hoped for someone to be able to identify the song from my bungled lyrics, nope, that’s not the one. The song I heard was a more serious sounding rap song.

  • What is your funniest case of misheard song lyrics?

    Jump

  • Haha, cute.

    Now that you mentioned Dutch, it reminded me of when I first heard doooonkey showww before it clicked that this was a Dutch song.

  • What is your funniest case of misheard song lyrics?

    Jump

  • What prompted the post: I feel silly even saying it, but there was a rap song playing at my gym with female vocals in the chorus singing what sounded like “it’s the batteries of your mom”, which I’m certain are not the correct lyrics.

  • Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse”

    Jump

  • Thanks for the clarification. I wrongly assumed Microsoft was using Wi-Fi positioning systems (which is used for geolocation, just not in this particular case) instead of reading their documentation.

    I’ll update the comment.

    I also don’t think most workplaces are going to punish you for opting out of this feature even if organizational policy requires it to be enabled.
