Has jealousy ever hurt your relationships?

Has there ever been a time in your life where jealousy hurt your relationship with someone? There was this one girl I dated, who I at first thought was the one. Like I thought she was it, but that's just some puppy love shit. Anyway, she had a lot of guy friends, and I was often jealous whenever she hung out with any of them. Usually she was with a few of them, but I remember catching her with one of the dudes alone, and it made me crazy jealous. I asked he what was going on, and she said nothing, and said they were just friends. I got mad and left. She called me and broke up with me right there, saying she wasn't going to stick with someone who was constantly jealous of her friends. She told me she viewed them more as brothers and nothing has ever happened with them.

She still ended up breaking up with me, because I think she assumed I would always be jealous of them or something. But yeah, that's one relationship of mine where she just dropped me right after. Then again, we were only dating for a short period, maybe a month or two, but still I was probably a bit too jealous. Still though, I couldn't get over the fact that she hung out with them so much and often didn't even invite me. So I think I have a right to be confused and jealous about it all.

Sorry for the story, I hate talking about stuff like this, but I find it helps a lot. Thanks for listening!

But yeah, have you ever hurt a relationship because of jealousy, or maybe the other way around? Maybe your bf or gf was jealous of your friends maybe?

Ceedee Lamb is confused why he was fined more than Aaron Rodgers

I just saw this on Facebook, and I had no idea this happened. Ceedee Lamb I was fined for not tucking in his jersey for $20k, while Aaron Rodgers, goes to parties unmasked, while taking ivermectin and comes down with covid, potentially infecting other players in the process, and he is only fined $14,000+, yeah, seems like the white guy gets away easier.

I mean, it's stupid how these fines go. I bet if it was a rookie QB who did what Rodgers did, he'd be crucified for it, and probably kicked out. But no, because he's an elite QB, he gets a slap on the wrist and a drop in the jar for him.

Favorite shoe brands?

I feel like as a woman, I have way too many options. Us ladies can wear all sorts of styles whereas men typically only have sneakers, boots, dress shoes, and sandals. We have all sorts of different styled heels, calf-length boots, open-toe/close-toe, etc.

I have a hard time sticking with one brand because of this. I do love Puma for their sneakers and sandals (flats) though and stick with them for that but in terms of boots, heels, and other types of shoes - I am spoiled for choice!

What are some of your favorite shoe brands?

What was your first experience with video games like?

I remember being pretty young, maybe 4 or 5 idk, where I was playing Super Mario Bros 3. I remember we had a NES for a while, but I think we got it from a family friend. I remember playing that game, and being stuck on it for hours. I had a blast. And then I remember when I saw the Sega Genesis in action when I first played Sonic the Hedgehog. I thought it was the most unique game ever, it was so fast and fun. I remember bugging my dad that year to get a Genesis and that was a definite no go since we had the NES.

That was my first experience with gaming, and I've been into gaming ever since. What about you? What is your first experience with gaming. Was it good? Was it bad? What game was it? Maybe it was a PC game, or a handheld game. Whatever your first experience was, counts.

PepsiCo has experimented with mealworm powder for its snacks and drinks

PepsiCo — the food company that makes snacks like Doritos, Cheetos, and Quaker Oats cereal — is looking for alternative protein sources for its products.

On the open innovation site NineSights, PepsiCo recently posted a request for "new and novel protein sources for usage in their snacks and beverages."

These non-traditional proteins could include plant-based protein, mycoprotein (a protein made from mushrooms), or insect protein.

The request also mentioned that PepsiCo has already done extensive work with soy, moringa (a protein powder made from dried leaves), duckweed, cricket powder, pea protein, dairy, single cell protein, and mealworm powder (generally made from roasted and milled mealworms).

PepsiCo declined to comment on any specific plans, but spokesperson Andrea Foote said the company's R&D team is working on the project, which is not tied to any one brand.

Other food giants are also experimenting with novel types of proteins, often made from plants. In 2016, Campbell Soup Co. started selling a line of non-dairy, plant-based milk with 10 grams of pea protein per serving. Later that year, Tyson Foods, one of the world's largest meat producers, launched a venture capital fund worth $150 million that invests in startups developing meat alternatives. The VC arm of General Mills, 301 Inc., has also invested in the plant-based protein startups Beyond Meat and Kite Hill, which makes non-dairy cheeses, milks, and yogurts.

PepsiCo's request may reflect a growing consumer shift away from non-traditional protein sources. US sales of foods with alternative proteins totaled $4.9 billion in 2016, according to the Plant-Based Foods Association. The research firm Markets and Markets predicts that the meat substitutes industry will be worth $5.96 billion by 2022.

"Consumers the world over have embraced a variety of high-protein foods, such as Greek-style yogurt and beef jerky style meat products," PepsiCo's request reads. "Unfortunately, that increased level of protein in the product can negatively impact consumer perceptions by adversely impacting texture, taste, color, etc."

Ideally, PepsiCo said it would like to find a high-protein source that has a pleasant taste. Additionally, the company said the protein should be non-GMO, have "a good sustainability story," and have an "easy to pronounce and common" name that avoids "chemical-sounding ingredients."


Pfizer CEO says people who spread misinformation on Covid vaccines are ‘criminals’

What irks me about the wholesale removal of critical thinking is the fact that many will not see the conflict of interest staring them in the face. A guy making billions from a product saying that people who don’t like his product are criminals. This is insanity at this point.
