Anyone else read this? BMW is being sued by the EEOC for racial discrimination because it disqualified applicants for having a criminal background.

What does your S/O think of MFP?
While this site is awesome for diet, nutrition, fitness, and overrall good health, it is also highly sexually charged. When I was single I enjoyed all the flirting, but now that I'm in a great relationship I can only think that any of it would get me into trouble. I recently came back to use MFP (it's almost summer ya…

Coffee in my protein drink, what??
I recently bought a 2lb tub of Optimum Nutritions Hydro Whey, Cookies and Cream flavor. It wa the cheapest, and after tasting it I could see why (I mix my shakes with Silk Almond Milk, Unsweetened Vanilla flavor). When I was drinking it one morning at work I took a swig of my protein shake and a swig from my coffee, HOLY…

VEGANS - What do you feed your pets?
I'm still trying to understand the vegan lifestyle. You have your reasons for not eating meat, I know. But would you deprive a dog of meat as well? Do you spend extra on dog/cat food? My friend's snake was fed dead mice, and his reptile got live crickets, for ex. This question is more targeted towards those who are vegan…

Do Vegans own/wear leather?
So recently I posted about Vegans and hunting, and one of the biggest reasons for "no" was they didn't enjoy unneccessary killing. Since Vegans are against consuming any animal product, does that mean they are also against wearing animal products? Leather products I can think of: Car seats belts shoes jackets watch bands…

the FUNNIEST or MEANEST prank phone call you ever made
Ok folks, let's hear'em. When I was in high school my buddy and I prank phone called Hooked on Phonics. He pretended to be an illiterate, and wholly uneducated young teen calling for help (similar to a distress call, learning to read/write was very important to him), then his temperamental father (myself) picked up the…

Tattoos!
Show off what ya got! This is my only one, and my first, figured I'd just get something big. The style is Samoan, I have no relation but I really like the symmetry and complexity in the designs. I'm considering extending it down to a 3/4 sleeve, it would all be my own design in the same style. What do y'all think?

HELP - Am I in starvation mode?!
Ok, so I have been sticking to my caloric and macro targets better than ever for the last month, but I haven't lost any weight! Since I workout 3-4 days a week, my TDEE is supposedly somewhere between 3000-3500 calories a day, and my BMR is around 1900 - 2000. I've been consuming 2500 calories, and it was working before,…

Personal Ongoing Workout Diary
Ok, so I decided I want to keep an ongoing record of my workouts, strength accomplishments and progress, when I can be bothered to write it down. I thought a blog would do, but I don't want to have multiple blog posts, or multiple comments when I think an ongoing thread would be much easier. I intend to be more in depth…

Favorite Cover Song?
Right now I'm listening to Chris Cagle's cover of Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive. I love hearing cover songs because it's a new voice and sometimes even a new take on the song. What are your favorites? Couple others: All Time Low - Umbrella FFDP - Bad Company Framing Hanley - Lollipop Silverstein - Apologize

Ounces: Weight or Volume?
I've noticed a lot of items on here are measured in ounces. But is that 1/16 of a lb, or 1/8 of a cup? (for water these are equal, not for foods that are more or less dense, smarty pants) Cottage cheese for example, if I use a 2 oz container and measure out 4 oz, it doesn't weigh 4 oz, it might only weigh 3. So, how do you…

Arms days are dangerous!
Funny story, but a couple weeks ago I went to job interview that spanned 4 hours and even meeting the regional VP, with a black eye. Short version: punched myself in the face while I was sleeping. No, I'm not joking. Either something in a dream transformed into actual movement, or it was a muscle spasm, but I connected…

Any bodybuilders out there?
Basically I want my cake, and eat it too. Cut off the fat without losing an ounce of muscle, and even ideally putting more muscle on. I need to upload some pics, but my regimen is currently around 2600 calories comprised of protein shakes, a few supplements, and healthy-ish meals. I try to log most days. I work out using a…

Lost 10lb, but only 5lb was fat?
So I've been trying to cut up, and I dropped my weight by 10 lb (207 to 197), but really only dropped my BF% from 13ish to 11 ish. So I lost about 5 lb of fat and 5 lb of lean mass. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, and I can lift more now than when I was 207, so where did the other 5lb come from?
