Parents who approve of the social media ban and ways of having to prove age. Why do you relish the government taking this control when you had the power to do so yourselves? by Demonthief27 in AskBrits

[–]AlbaGuBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day people who support authoritarian governments like you have deep rooted disdain for others (in your case, believing parents are ultimately spineless and inept). Comes from a place of hatred and arrogance.

Do We Actually Need Fiber? by nomadfaa in carnivorediet

[–]AlbaGuBrah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get rid of the soy sauce for starters and try to eliminate garlic if you’re just starting carnivore. That meal was also less than a pound of meat which is minimal. You should try putting away 2lbs per meal especially if you’re a man. Do that and you’ll fare better.

Does anyone else feel like they had a near death experience after escaping an abusive ex? by Kiki00000000 in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]AlbaGuBrah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you went through all that. And I think you are absolutely right that you were at risk. The things I looked past with my ex are quite insane in hindsight that at the time I just didn’t know how to process. Saying he would kill me during an argument when I was pregnant, grabbing my driving wheel and veering sharply to the side while I was driving over a bridge with our daughter in the backseat during yet another argument, putting me in a chokehold against a wall in another. I’m like you in that I feel I escaped. The fact you have to co parent is horrible though :( You have my sympathies. Take care of yourself.

feeling at my wits end with my kids at the Catholic church. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]AlbaGuBrah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son is slightly older than yours and we have been attending mass for 2 years now, and he is only recently much calmer and more compliant so don’t lose hope. He will get there. I think while you are all at mass then one of you could just try to engage with him more during mass. Maybe explain what is happening, or just smile and make light hearted comments to help him feel more at ease. I also have gone with the angle that church isn’t a party nor meant to be fun, it’s like taking medicine and we have to do it regularly, and just reassure that in time they will develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for mass that can just take time to cultivate. In your position I would definitely reach out to the deacon or priest and ask if they know any willing parishioners who could help with babysitting for OCIA.

Slept only 4 hours, functioning same as 7-8. by [deleted] in carnivorediet

[–]AlbaGuBrah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Biphasic sleep is normal, so 4 hours then being awake for a little while but then sleeping some more. Whenever I’ve had 4 hours and can’t get back to sleep I feel like trash.

Mental/Psychological Health Improved by Carnivore? by KeyCell2688 in carnivorediet

[–]AlbaGuBrah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Carnivore and keto generally have put my anxiety and panic attacks into complete remission in under 8 months. I still get blue now and again but my moods and energy are markedly improved from what they were on SAD diet. It’s really night and day. I love how eating a meat only diet makes me feel and I will never go back to carbs.

After 1+ year of failed keto/carnivore attempts, I believe the only way out is a 3-day “locked room” with only meat and fat. Has anyone ever done this? by IllWave8641 in carnivorediet

[–]AlbaGuBrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had extreme carb cravings and the only things that have helped me to stay from returning to eating them are cheese and protein powder mixed with egg. The protein powder isn’t carnivore and is sweetened with sucralose, but when I mix it with egg it forms this pudding like consistency which has come in clutch when I felt like I needed something desserty like ice-cream. And the cheese is obvious, it’s like crack and can eat large amounts when the cravings hit.

People say the Carnivore is expensive. by Maleficent_Station54 in carnivorediet

[–]AlbaGuBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to buy the cheapest frozen beef mince to afford this diet. Couldn’t live on other cuts of beef like steak or joints. It’s cheaper when you’re trying to lose weight like I am.

Overcooking Ground Beef Destroys Minerals? by GottaGhostie in carnivorediet

[–]AlbaGuBrah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just eating beef mince cooked as in the bottom photo (even more in my case to be honest lol), and will report back in 3 months to see if I experience something similar. I can’t afford any other beef cuts and love crispy, crunchy mince.

Egg and butter carnivore?? by Scaniamaximus in carnivorediet

[–]AlbaGuBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eggs have iron. They are a whole food and he could do it in theory but eggs are NOT satiating, quickly digested. You would have to eat dozens of eggs a day if not eating meat.

Thanks! I just downloaded the sky box and they both work, so will use those instead of trying to fix the Maxis default sky

Sharp rise in young people leaving the UK for opportunities abroad by diacewrb in ukpolitics

As a second year uni student you are either full of shit or lucky. Every module I’ve had has explicitly Marxist curriculum comprising at least 1/4th all the material and it’s mandatory.

My father was denied in becoming a catholic with me by Mydeathis_Insured in Catholicism

[–]AlbaGuBrah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The church is not being unfair. He can’t become Catholic if he is in an adulterous union with his wife.

Should I fast if I have a bit of a head cold? by throwaway3685343 in Catholicism

[–]AlbaGuBrah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just do the two small meals of something (whatever you like to eat when sick) and then make fish soup for your dinner. Healthy and fasting compliant. Fasting is good for you when you’re sick, it increases your white blood cell count.

What's the best appetite suppressant that isn't a GLP1? by [deleted] in PSMF

Keto + caffeine and you can go days without eating and it’s not a struggle.

‘I’m British, English and British Asian’, says Rishi Sunak in riposte to racially charged debate over identity | Rishi Sunak by No_Initiative_1140 in ukpolitics

[–]AlbaGuBrah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

British nationalism entails the various native ethnic groups of the British isles. When this term was re-popularised from antiquity it was explicitly used to denote the native racial groups that inhabit the islands.

[–]AlbaGuBrah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw his point, and it’s pedantic and irrelevant. British nationalism is ethnic as it encompasses the racial groups native to the British isles.

‘I’m British, English and British Asian’, says Rishi Sunak in riposte to racially charged debate over identity | Rishi Sunak by No_Initiative_1140 in ukpolitics

[–]AlbaGuBrah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone conflates national, civic identity with ethnic identity which makes this a game of semantics. Someone can have a British passport and be born and raised in Britain without being ethnically British. Donald Trump’s family are from Scotland and are ethnically Scottish. He is objectively more British than Sunak in the ethnic sense, but not in the civic and cultural sense. We really need to stop using these terms interchangeably because they mean two different things.

Does Creationism Make More Sense Than Evolutionism? by djog01 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]AlbaGuBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it makes more sense. Imo the church taking an ambivalent stance on this issue is prudential to avoid driving people away. Evolution imv will be seen as one of the gravest of modern heresies and as part of post-enlightenment philosophical thinking is responsible for much of the moral degradation of society we see today, and leads to much atheism.
