I feel like it's most useful to view patriarchy as something that does exist and does generally give men more power, but that doesn't mean it actually benefits men or even empowers men in every domain. It is to the detriment of all people, male and female, that the distribution of power is weighted towards one sex.

And since people of whatever sex/gender can be harmed by the patriarchy, there is of course no reason to "blame" it on men. Or really, almost anyone.

I used to be a "silent phone" person until I discovered scheduled do-not-disturb. I like being able to hear when someone is calling me, I just don't want to hear it at certain times/days.

I'm not sure which of us misunderstood it, but my interpretation of their findings is that overall, increased protein intake was not associated with increased athletic performance. However if you look ONLY at endurance, it was actually associated with high performance, though only when alongside carbs. Maybe counterintuitive.

Their total sample size was around 300 or 400 iirc. Pretty big, but could be better.

Haha I watched this a couple weeks ago.
Another really important point they make is that even among athletes, extra protein intake does not really help. Athletes only have higher protein intake because their overall caloric intake is higher. Studies show that increased protein intake is only associated with higher athletic performance when it is alongside increased intake of other nutrients (carbs). I was looking at a meta analysis a few days ago. I don't have the link but I took this screenshot.

So a "protein shake" is not likely to help you unless you were already protein deficient, which as somebody else pointed out in this thread, is not likely for Americans who over consume meat.

What does Lemmy think of the theory that The Wizard of Oz was written as an allegory for the gold/silver currency standard and that "Oz" is named after the abbreviation for "ounce"?

I do miss my Pixel 5a. I think it was the last Pixel to have a headphone port. I have an 8a now and it's just worse. Effective battery life is MUCH worse and I'm not even sure why. The device itself is a little thicker, no headphone port, the under-screen fingerprint reader is much less effective, the pinhole camera is in a worse location, and other than that it's pretty much the same.

I would have used my 5a into perpetuity but the screen spontaneously broke one day totally out of nowhere. Didn't drop it or anything, it just permanently froze while I was using it one time.
Turns out it might have been some moisture problem and people online said that it might work if you put the phone in the freezer. Well, that actually did work and I used it that way for a couple weeks. I would keep my phone in the freezer overnight and it would work for most of the day. But eventually that stopped working and the screen warranty had just ended so I got a new (worse 😡) phone. But I miss the 5a...

Learning Japanese was my covid hobby. It's a very fun language!

Code Geass is structured around having huge twists every 5-10 episodes. My favorite is the one from

(episode #)

Season 2, episode 5

Jaw-dropping, gasping for air, falling out of your chair kinda plot twist

To be fair, that's the standard pronunciation in a very popular dialect of the language.

That might be right in general, but the device that the commenter included a picture of says オゾン (ozone) all over it. You can also see the O3 molecules in the diagram. So producing ozone does appear to be the primary function of that particular machine.
