I don’t know exactly, FitBit says I burn 2800-3400 most days. I think I just plateaued, I’m back losing weight now. My sleep is awful, just horrific, and it drives me crazy. I have the hardest time falling asleep most nights.
I am getting less protein, but still should be enough - at least 60g a day on bad days, usually more like 100g I think. I don’t get much high intensity cardio, I need to get back to lifting. I drink lots of water (almost always cold), eat lots of spicy food, I drink coffee (often decaf cause of the sleep problem) and lots of iced green tea.
This is driving me nuts on a daily basis. We all know intellectually how to keep the protests peaceful, and the police forces know it. They could have about 25% as many cops at the protest sites, and the other 75% out preventing looting, and the public would be happy with that right? But what would happen? The protest would win the day on the news, and they can’t have that, so they put 95% at the protest site, provoke them, turn it violent, and then let the looting happen and go after it later. Now the news narrative is “PROTESTS TURN UGLY, LOOTING BEGINS!”
The police get to control how the protest turns out and what the news narrative is, and they do.
They weren’t going to get a conviction, but he needed to be charged to send a message. By the time the trial happened, it wouldn’t matter anymore. Right now the message needs to be sent, and I can’t believe I have to say this: you’re not allowed to drive into crowds of people, even if you reaaaallly don’t like what they’re saying.
oh shit, there are a TON of people in both Portland and Seattle. Portland cops about to deploy something, most likely gas. Seattle does not seem to have issued a move along order yet.
Yeah this is 100% true. Protesting has always been like this.
I just think when you’re on the wrong end of oppression you understand. As situations become better for groups and they are integrated into mainstream society, the individual members become kinda shitty like everyone else. See: West Hollywood.
