@Treczoks @realitista
No? As a feminist, I *do* want to see men stop subscribing to toxic masculinity. I want us to realize that it's okay to seek help and it's okay to be vulnerable.

@intensely_human @SkyeStarfall Yes? Or rather, the *assumption* that she would is toxic masculinity. If she actually does that, she's bought into the same toxic bullshit.

It's toxic no matter whom it's coming from. You *deserve* someone whom you can open up to.

@pabloscloud
I have boots from here and they're great (I personally got the WVSport Insulated Waterproof Hiking Boots, but they also have other types of boots):

@FauxPseudo @jarfil You don't need 2g/lb of lean bw, though. The premise is *wildly* incorrect.

[–] chiraag@mastodon.online 7 points 1 year ago

@SkyeStarfall @Dkarma It never was, especially if you don't swallow that 2g/lb bullshit.

[–] chiraag@mastodon.online 6 points 1 year ago

@Dkarma @BonesOfTheMoon You don't need 2gm/lb of bw, though. First, it would be per lb of *lean* bw. Second, it's actually more like *1* g/lb of lean bw, or 2.2 g/kg of lean bw **as an upper max**, like if you're a super body builder. For *regular* people, something much more like 1.5 g/kg of lean bw is totally sufficient.

Oh, and I eat a ton of legumes, so I can (and *do*) easily exceed that 2.2 g/kg threshold on my workout days.

@wildginger Have there been actual tests on this? I'm sure there have, but I haven't looked into it too much.

[–] chiraag@mastodon.online 3 points 1 year ago

@bitsplease @Poem_for_your_sprog Pretty much. Just also want to add that if we want to make eggs or dairy a staple of our diet (especially dairy), it requires essentially treating other living beings as factories to be abused until they die. Like, cows don't continuously produce milk all the time, right? They have to give birth and *then* they start producing milk (like literally every mammal). So if we want milk on demand, we need to keep cows continuously pregnant, clearly abuse.

@wildginger @RvTV95XBeo Right, so you can just take it after a meal and uptake should be okay...

[–] chiraag@mastodon.online 1 points 1 year ago

@ddnomad The only supplements I take are B12 and D3, and many omnivores are deficient in those as well. Lack of B12 stems from modern sanitation practices and lack of D3 stems from people not going outside as much. It's compensating for changes to lifestyle and our food system, not for something lacking in our diet per se.

@ddnomad @BuddyTheBeefalo Dairy consumption is both very recent (evolutionarily) and was historically limited to a few places (even today, the vast majority of the world is lactose-intolerant).

[–] chiraag@mastodon.online 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@ddnomad @BuddyTheBeefalo Vitamin D is the other one, but that's true for *everyone* (it's why both dairy and plant-based milks are fortified with D3) and there are, again, supplements if necessary (this one is necessary for pretty much everyone not living near the equator).

Otherwise, nutritionally, a WFPB diet is pretty much the most balanced and nutritious (esp for long-term health) diet one can have.
