Two things go into making the 1g/kg achievable for me personally:
- I'm not super tall so I just weigh less than other people
- My university offers an unlimited swipes meal plan and they always have grilled chicken breast. I'm usually hovering around 3 meals a day along with a protein shake.
But lots of other things could interfere with this, I'm just lucky right now and 1g/kg has been working (to the extent that they meet my amateur goals).

Personally I try to hit 1g/kg but I mostly focus on getting it throughout the day not just a ton during lunch and dinner. I'm pretty amateur tho and not focusing on putting up big numbers.

I just figured out that the free tier of Geforce Now can run COD warzone. The return to Verdansk event is so incredibly nostalgic, I have many fond memories of this game during covid. A more serious FPS player might take issue with the low performance, but I don't mind. On the second lowest graphics preset I get around 40fps, the lower resolution only becomes an issue when sniping, but even then it's mostly manageable.
The gunplay/tactics feels great to me, there is a nice balance between high ttk and strategy. Half of my kills are coming from outflanking or anticipating what the enemy is going to do next, which feels like a big improvement over previous seasons where fights could be a dps stat check.

Honestly didn't think of that, and it seems like a shame. This one is only a year old. I'll look into it.

I had a little party this Friday and woke up to find that someone had stepped on my macbook. I'm partially to blame for this, I shouldn't have left it on the ground (albeit in a room that was supposed to be locked, under my bed) and I don't think anyone will fess up, most likely because they won't remember doing so. Regardless, the tiny 5 millimeter indent on the edge of the case by the webcam managed to strike some sort of achilles heel and almost the entire screen is now non-functional, save a small sliver at the top. This allows me to screen mirror to my ipad (and is how I'm writing this post).
I spent all of yesterday trying to find a place that could fix the screen and found out that nobody in a 1-hour radius has the apple approved replacement for my screen in stock (Small college town in bumfuck nowhere). The nearest Apple store says the screen will be $500, with a $100 labor charge. The compounding issue to all of this is that I don't have a car, and ubers to the medium sized city (an hour away) are like $80 for a one way trip. This means that going to the Apple store adds $160 to anything they do. In fact, it's even worse than this, because they only do overnight repairs, meaning I would have to go to the city, drop off the computer, and then come back the next day to pick it up. The other option is the local computer repair shop, which is only 10 minutes away by bike. However, they are charging an $600 for the screen, and I'm not sure how much for the labor.
Right now, I'll probably go with the ~$700 local process, because it saves me time and is cheaper overall. Does anybody have any other suggestions?
I'll admit, I did a bit of digging and found the ReLOVEution manifesto (You might want to work on the name, the first few web hits are for a clothing brand). The philosopher who kept recurring to me while reading your text was, of all people, Mozi. I mean, love is in the name, and universal love is his catchphrase. Obviously you guys diverge in practice and application, he was more concerned with the exorbitant cost ritual was imposing on the people and the state, but on the low you guys are coming from the same place: love as the solution to our tumultuous relationship with capital.
How does your universal love work in our factionalized world? I'm doubtful that my love is identical to that of someone in sub-saharan africa, just as his is different from someone in japan. How are we meant to square these conflicting desires? Also, how does universal love replace our existing system? How does empathy for others organize people to build spaceships or even just work long, hot hours harvesting food in the central valley?
I'm guessing you would reject the label of someone rejecting capitalism because that implies your idea would still reside in the greater system of ownership. I do really appreciate your highly unorthodox ideas and would love to engage further.
Overtime comment: Your post reminded me of this comic book in my middleschool that claimed to be a documentation of the development of civilization; one of the opening panels was the invention of the concept of property (via a fertile crescent subsistence farmer locking his wife in his house)
