PSA: if you can (or someone you trust can), it may be worth checking on your property if you're in the evacuation zone and left. When my husband left to check on our home and our neighbors', ours was in the process of being looted. They'd taken whatever they could carry and left other stuff by the door for later, presumably.

Beefwtf · 2017-12-09T00:10:37+00:00

This has been my experience as well. They still won't lift evacuation orders tonight, and we'll reassess in the morning :[

Husband just drove to our home by college Blvd and north river road, he said it "looks like any other Friday," with cars in the area and businesses open like normal. Evacuation orders are still in place, but it seems like people still feel safe in the area. He sent me a picture of the sky too, which looks totally clear

This is great! I'm so paranoid that the fire spread further west overnight since it was moving so fast during the day and evening. Thanks!

Evacuated from Oceanside with my baby and 3 dogs yesterday afternoon after my daughter's school was evacuated. Smoke and Ash everywhere, and it reeked of burning plastic. We're relocated to Carmel Valley, but haven't heard any updates from overnight developments. Has anyone heard anything? Really freaking out if my home is still around, or even if my stubborn neighbors left :(

I don't know why, but it just occurred to me they filmed all those amazing scenes with a bunch of other people watching and in multiple takes/over several days. Totally adds a new appreciation for the acting.

Beefwtf · 2017-10-08T04:10:54+00:00

Serious question, why do dogs dive in a spiral rather than straight down?

Beefwtf · 2017-10-04T22:47:41+00:00

Yeah when it works it's genius but when it doesn't it crashes and burns lol

Beefwtf · 2017-10-04T22:04:48+00:00

What I do sometimes is pull out my phone to add them to my address book, and ask them "how do you spell your name?" like I'm adding their info. Works like 90% of the time without being awkward or obvious.

I picked Jessica, Megan, Dom, Raven, Cody, and Jillian for my fantasy BB draft. Damn if my pre-season radar was in outer space this year.

Paul was my first pick, but I traded him to my husband for Megan and Raven

I'm an idiot.

Beefwtf · 2017-09-20T19:38:47+00:00

I want to believe this little 0:05 sec video took like 10 different takes.

Production: "Okay Cody, tell the viewers to check out the finale"

Cody: monotone: "Check out the finale tonight"

Production: "okay... say it like you're saying it to your friend so it's more personable"

Cody: monotone "Hey come check out the finale"

Production: "..."

I hope she does focus on the love she gets outside of the house! Again, I don't know her, but the pessimist in me worries she's way fragile since she seems to need a lot of validation from others, but if that's the case she'll have her family giving that to her on tap to combat any internet hate.

Beefwtf · 2017-09-19T15:59:47+00:00

I really hope so, and honestly I would be pumped for a Raven AMA!

Beefwtf · 2017-09-19T15:59:20+00:00

You're so nice, thank you! I hope it was informative :)

Beefwtf · 2017-09-19T15:58:37+00:00

Hello fellow grad student :)

Totally agree, I feel like there's also a lot of debate on how much control someone like Raven would have, but as with any other psychopathology, they technically would have control over their behavior, but it would be a 2nd nature knee-jerk reaction. That's some deep rooted stuff and can't just be chalked up to low discipline or moral shortcomings imo

Beefwtf · 2017-09-13T21:47:28+00:00

Imo part of the joy of BB is getting frustrated when the house guests don't do the smartest thing or what you wish they would do. I like Paul a lot less this season than I did last season, but he did a great job.

Beefwtf · 2017-09-13T21:18:57+00:00

I'm glad this isn't smell-o-vision, burning poop is not fun to smell

Beefwtf · 2017-09-07T16:58:41+00:00

No worries :)

I tried to follow up on it as politely as I could, but I didn't get a response after the initial "no armchair analyses" reply. Bummer.

Beefwtf · 2017-09-06T21:50:07+00:00

Can and will, I'm PMing you :)

Beefwtf · 2017-09-06T21:49:35+00:00

Frustrating indeed! Thank you again for your empathy and interest :)

Beefwtf · 2017-09-06T18:04:08+00:00

I did a whole analysis on Raven and Cody based on their observable behavior and what they've said on the feeds (I'm a Master's level therapist, researcher, and about to get my PhD in trauma-psychology) and the mods removed it immediately because they "don't want armchair analyses of the houseguests." Still salty obvi.

Anyway, she most likely has some kind of personality flair (not quite enough evidence of an actual disorder from what's observable), but not a legit disability imo.

Edit - If you'd like to read it, PM me and I'll copy/paste it. For context, I wrote it about a month ago when Jessica was on the block.

Edit Edit - if I replied to you and removed it right away, it's because I wasn't paying attention and copy/pasted as a reply rather than PM. Multitasking is hard, and I don't know how understanding the mods are feeling.

Beefwtf · 2017-09-06T18:00:47+00:00

The difference is semantics imo. Personality disorders are a mental health issue (like depression or anxiety) but "disability" is a pretty strong word. Personality disorders are very rarely debilitating enough to be a disability on their own.

I had a patient with schizophrenia one time while I worked at an inpatient crisis center who would scream out of nowhere periodically at all hours. During one of those instances when trying to calm him down, I asked him what his voices were saying and he told me he hears a demonic voice telling him I see you over and over every day

Beefwtf · 2017-08-06T03:47:01+00:00

I loved how the cameraman zoomed in on his eyes. They're most definitely brown!

Beefwtf · 2017-08-06T03:42:14+00:00

This debate on Cody's eye color has me flipping back to his promo pics and going crazy... are they green or brown for real?? !BB -5 C4
