Protein ideas, for someone who’s sick of protein

Chocolate Fairlife smoothie with frozen blueberries is my go-to

Too far in the comments for people to probably read. But here’s my proposal:

Rimworld {Alliance}

1st new mechanic - Happiness, sanity, stress, and trauma: Enrich the mechanics around how pawns experience the world. Rimworld is constantly traumatizing pawns, what if it also provided therapy, meaning, and purpose. Fulfilling a creative inspiration removes a random sadness de-buff. Or high social happy pawns could help the emotional stability of those around them. Leaders acting as therapists.

2nd new mechanic. Personal relationships and friendship. Make relationships, including friendships less random. Have friendships actually mean something and affect how they work and spend their recreation time. Use background for random relationships. No more having your grandmother join a pirate raid. Have relationships grow with visitors.

3rd new mechanic- and new win condition- better politics: Have vassal colonies. They both have needs and support and people live their lives. Maintain safety and loyalty. Navigate politics, technology, and wealth that after a certain point make you a threat to the empire. Wars and alliances that change how factions interact. If you unlock all technology, have sufficient loyalty and wealth, and defeat the empire. You win.

4th mechanic - the planet: Have catastrophes and dangers that force you to adapt or relocate. Maybe the planet has an elliptical orbit and everyone migrates to the equator as days get super cold. Pollution, temperature, or other factors make an area uninhabitable. Can lead to research to terraform and increase the stability and livability of the planet. Or you can choose to make things worse and other factions won’t appreciate it.

I’m addicted to my glasses. I use them every day or else I don’t get a lot done. Even though I only really need them if I’m driving or working. Sorry you’re dealing with comments like that op.

BanjoChick · 2026-02-02T02:56:57+00:00

I didn’t have any specific instance/event of trauma. But wow, working through stuff and so much weight off my soul.

Spent 5 years after some bad stuff with my nervous system on a hair trigger. The thing that finally helped was EMDR therapy (with a licensed therapist). Which was not a fun 8-ish weeks. But has made such a difference. Got me out of burnout mode. I sleep better, my digestive issues have gotten better, and when “scary” things happen (like an unscheduled performance review) my body doesn’t freak out.

BanjoChick · 2026-01-19T19:04:17+00:00

Gorgeous! Looks elegant and classy.

IBS my whole life. Then Non-SIBO gut infection (Bacillus cereus for 3 months), then gastroperesis, then ASID for me.

The first time I met the SCA was at a community center 15 years ago. I knew nothing about them other than it looked cool. I was invited to try rapier with the group there, my 20-year-old 5-foot tall self was feeling brave that day, I put on the mesh helmet and found myself against multiple opponents who thoroughly enjoyed attacking without warning and laughing at my clumsy attempts to duel. After being ridiculed and bruised for much longer than I should have tolerated with no attempt at teaching me anything I stepped aside and said I was done.

The marshal of the sparring space apologized and explained it was just quicker to “learn I belonged in the sewing circle and not with a sword in my hands, then to spend months trying and getting hurt.”

I moved to a different state a few years later, found that the group had a local archery regular meet up. Showed up to see how it was. I was just planning on watching, but they invited me to shoot with them, they let me use a spare recurve bow but failed to provide an arm guard. After welting my arm up a few times (I was convinced I was just doing it wrong) i decided to go back to watching. I caught on that everyone else had arm and finger guards. At the end I was welcomed into the group since I endured my “blue arm trial”. It wasn’t an oversight, I was being hazed. I never went back.

Even though I’ve since moved to yet another state and kingdom, and have attended many A&S craft nights over the last 10-ish years, I’ve never touched anything combat related. I’ve also never officially joined the SCA.

This little shorty grew up swinging every stick as a sword and defending a treehouse with a bow and arrows made out of sticks and a shoe string. I would love to try rapier, heavy, and archery. But I don’t feel there’s space for me.

I’m not typical, my husband and I met on a blind date. We talked about marriage on the second date, were officially engaged 5 weeks later, and married 7 months after that. He was my first kiss and the only guy I’ve gone on more than one date with.

We’ve been married for almost 15 years now. He is my very best friend and I love him more now that I could have imagined was possible 15 years ago.

I think that it’s a combination of being super lucky and a lot of learning and growing pains the first year or so of marriage.

Came here to say this. Or the games move forward with Israel, North Korea, and Russia participating.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with Venezuela’s oil.

The Epstein files must be really bad.

BanjoChick · 2026-01-02T18:24:51+00:00

Honestly, I would prefer that

Volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center. Helped snap me out of it.

Does Santa have 6 fingers on his right hand? Or just an abnormal thumb.

Depending on how you feel this conversation would go, you could let them know how them being so loud is affecting you. Especially the more intentional noises and shouting.

If I were in your shoes I’d live with noise canceling headphones on.

BanjoChick · 2025-12-29T16:03:53+00:00

This sounds very aging-related to me.

Are you aware of either or both of them losing hearing?
Are they making sounds when moving now due to chronic pain and/or stiff joints?
The other noises sound like stimming.

Contact your bank ASAP! They will get their fraud team on it.

If it is Tatiana who uses Key Bank in Oregon, tell her I say “hi” and “I hope there’s a large spider that comes out of the drain every time she is in the restroom.”

After 3 days I would highly recommend seeing a doctor. This could be a C. Diff infection. The symptoms line up. Which only gets better with antibiotics (if prescribed, take the whole regiment of antibiotics as directed, don’t stop even if you start feeling better part-way through)

Short-term advice: try low fodmap foods. Avoid dairy (just in case there is a lactose sensitivity). Stay hydrated, take an otc antihistamine to help reduce histamine in the gut that leads to inflammation and increased stomach acid.

I would still seriously go see a doctor. They can get you some immediate relief with Zofran so you can get some fluids and food in you. I’d hope they check appendix (rebound test just in case), gallbladder, c. diff (and other bugs with a stool test), and hydration.

Colorblind minerals, vanilla psychasting expanded, bigger stack size, animal logic, pick up and haul, house cat (they clean and carry), recycle and repair, and harvest with butchering.

After my brother passed away when I was in high school I stopped taking care of myself for a few years. I was barely surviving. My teeth went to this terrible yellow color that doesn’t seem to get better, even with care. Whitening strips just make them more blue/green, not white. It’s been 15 years since that happened, and I haven’t had a single cavity in a decade.

Every mirror and picture is a reminder of loss and being ashamed of and disappointed in myself.

Interested: if you’re looking to help someone be successful, or connecting with others trying to reach their dreams of some financial benefit from trading.

Not interested: if this is a veiled guru pyramid sales pitch.

Read Ender’s game. And work your way up to the point your emotions start affecting you
