I usually buy pea protein from MyProtein online. I personally find whey proteins to be way too sweet. The only issue is that it’s thicker, so I need to use a blender, rather than one of those shaker cups.
Find a basic flavor like vanilla, and add fruit (usually banana for me.) You can add a non dairy milk of your choice, if you don’t want to use water. Soy milk works well, and has bonus protein.
The article says that the specific people they’re featuring have been ostracized from the gay community. I wish the article was longer, because there’s a remarkable lack of self-awareness on display in the few quotes it includes.
This country was founded by white men, and built by enslaved black people. The white supremacy was baked right in from the beginning. Black Americans didn’t gain full civil rights until the 1960s (when my parents were in college.) The legacy of that white supremacy remains to this day, both from existing power structures and ways of thinking, and due generational wealth differences.
It is not racist to point that out.
Because if Biden can’t finish his term, a black woman will be president.
I don’t know if you don’t realize it, but you just agreed with the pithy quote.
I mean, the big philosophical divide between liberal and conservative judges is usually whether or not the constitution is a “living” document. That is, whether it can be interpreted through a modern lens, or if laws must be strictly limited by what is exactly written in the document.
I would argue that it’s easily the former, since, one, they explicitly allow amendments to the Constitution, and, two, there is a session of the Bill of Rights where they basically say, “we can’t possibly list all the rights that people are entitled to. This list is by no means comprehensive, and just because something isn’t in here, it doesn’t mean we’ve left it out on purpose.”
I agree that the constitution is very flawed, and that we would probably be better off without it, but one thing they were very clear on: no kings. The Trump immunity ruling was not only legal nonsense, it was clearly not an originalist interpretation (what the conservatives claim to be.)
When you take into account all of the rulings that this current court has made, it’s quite clear that they just start with the conclusion that they want, and reason backwards to get the justification. Once you’re at that point, I’m not sure that it really matters what your legal system is based on; they’re just doing make-em-ups anyway.
I think that a lot of those people likely live in a very car dependent, suburban area, and therefore don’t get any regular interaction with people outside of their immediate family.
I live in a city, so I have regular infractions with people that I know when I’m out and about: I pop into the butcher shop, coffee shop or green grocer and talk to the employees I know. I walk the dog, and run into friends and acquaintances that live the next neighborhood over, etc. People in rural areas usually have similar sorts of relationships with people in the area.
Contrast that with the suburbs, where neighbors may know each other to say hello to, but not much past that, and it’s hard to build any kind of relationship with the barista at the drive-through Starbucks or any employees at the local Kroger superstore.
Gotta put the trucks somewhere, too.
But of course, police are given 3 months of training tops, so they just fire them wherever.
I don’t think they fire them wherever. I think they aim at people’s faces because they think it’s funny.
Bleed the Beast.
Waste money on bullshit like this, then cut useful social services to “balance the budget.”
No, they need to actually report on him. That includes the court cases, but also the constant stream of crazy shit that he says at his “rallies,” as well as what his plans are for a second presidency.
It’s not the last 40 years, it’s been since Civil Rights legislation and the Brown vs Board decision.
That sounds like more of an assault than a disorderly conduct.
This is one of those situations where I like to imagine what would have happened if the guy did that to a cop. Likely a litany of charges, including assaulting an officer, and would have had the shit beaten out of him.
The Trump Org and various campaign entities have, of course, denied that any wrongdoing took place, and denied that Trump had knowledge or direct involvement in compensation issues.
“We didn’t do anything wrong, and even if we did, Trump himself didn’t do it.”
This is undermined by the multiple witnesses in the trial which just ended, who repeatedly testified that Trump insists on hand signing every single check that is for more than a certain amount of money. It has varied over time, but usually something relatively low, like $10k. He is characterized as a relentless micromanager when it comes to money, and is famous for (and constantly brags about) fighting every financial charge, and never paying a penny more than he has to.
It would not be reasonable to assume that large payouts or appointments to high up positions within any Trump org could happen without Trump’s knowledge and approval.
This brings us back to:
The Trump Org and various campaign entities have, of course, denied that any wrongdoing took place, and denied that Trump had knowledge or direct involvement in compensation issues.
This was essentially his exact defense in that NY criminal trial, and the jury didn’t buy it.
I use the term legacy media all the time. It refers to well-known, corporate owned media outlets, both TV and paper. The kinds of outlets that usually publish unvarnished lies from right-wingers, lest they be accused of being “liberal” and are therefore both-sidesing the US right into fascism.
I don’t know what the person you’re responding to is on about, but “legacy media” is definitely a real term.
You can’t forget that any true nut jobs were weeded out during jury selection.
He’s actually not that old. He just looks like shit.
Yes, and add a little bit of cold war style paranoia in there as well. These companies know that their product doesn’t work very well, but they think their competitor is maybe right on the verge of a breakthrough, so they rush to deploy and capture market share, lest they get left completely behind.
The biggest problem is that it’s classed as a civil issue, not a crime.
I steal from my employer: they call cops, I go to jail. Very simple.
My employer steals from my paycheck: I have to call a lawyer, they have to agree to take my case, we have to sue, employer produces fake payroll documents, I better have proof of what my real pay should have been, we have to go to mediation, figures are exchanged, employer claims they can’t pay the full amount without going bankrupt, have to take a settlement, lawyer takes at least a third of that. Big pain in the ass, no guarantee you’ll see a dime. Even if employer pays you back, they can go right back to screwing the rest of their employees over.
I think his main motivation for continuing to run the company is to spread his agenda. If it only costs him a small percent of revenue to keep pushing Nazi taking points, thenbi think he’ll just pay the fines.
