It’s great being in a time zone where it’s already April 2nd when the Americans start pulling this shit. You think you’ve made it through the nonsense and then BAM, here’s another day of it except ramped up to 11.

What about all of the site-to-site VPNs?

Balena started collecting telemetry without disclosing it to anyone, reportedly including information about what images you were flashing. Apart from a general distaste for unconsensual telemetry, I think people were concerned the data could be used for things like helping to de-anonymize TAILS users.

Where I live grocery stores are a terrible example, all the plant proteins are jacked up in price with marketing about how it’s organic and vegan and will cure cancer yada yada. And then the wheys they sell are blends with low actual protein content and/or poor aminos.

I buy my protein from a bulk supplements supplier, and soy is 75% of the cost of the cheapest whey, gram for gram of actual protein content.

Creatine is still very much a thing, but I think everyone actually knows what it is and what it does and it’s not treated as a magic bullet any more.

Mainly what seems to have changed is that steroids and TRT have exploded in popularity, and a scary number of under 18s are doing it.

Apart from that I couldn’t tell you, it’s all happening on Insta and TikTok now and I don’t participate.

More research isn’t a bad thing, but this really isn’t news. If you’re a nerd who’s into lifting you’d already know that soy protein is a top tier source of all the important amino acids for muscle gain. And it’s cheaper than whey.

It’s also not very popular because the manosphere tells men that consuming it will feminize them. Yes, really. They took the “soy boy” thing very literally and ran with it off the deep end.

This sounds exactly like the lies anti-drug proponents tell to try scare people off drugs. Did you know there was a boy who died after injecting just one marijuana?
