Nice photo!

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but this one looks more like an Asian Lady Beetle based on the color, spots, and head markings. I only recently learned the difference.

    The timing of the post was a coincidence (the actual inspiration is in a separate comment), but this is indeed a great example of the title. I just read up on this incident, and oof…😬

    The coffee chain triggered an uproar when it attempted to promote a series of stainless-steel tumblers it called “SS Tank” by declaring May 18 to be “Tank Day.” The date marks the anniversary of the 1980 pro-democracy uprising in the southern city of Gwangju. It was violently suppressed by Seoul’s military government at the time, which deployed troops, tanks and helicopters, leaving hundreds dead or injured.

    The campaign further fueled outrage by using the slogan “Thwack it on the table!” which many read as a reference to a notorious 1987 police statement that attempted to cover up the torture death of student activist Park Jong-chol. Authorities had falsely said Park died after investigators “hit the desk with a thwack.”

    What inspired the post: a cigarette lighter that was handed out as part of an election campaign with the slogan “FOR OUR CHILDREN” on it. The lighter is too bulky for children’s hands /s

    To those of you who work out, how do you meet high protein requirements as a vegan? Do you supplement with protein powder? Track macros?

    I don’t think I get the optimal amount of protein by body weight from natural sources alone and it’s not a topic I know much about.

    Feel free to share your favorite recipes and tips for increasing protein intake.
