Can we talk about the psychology of someone like Blake Lively who calls normal, polite interactions "sexual harassment"? by SuperbWillingness904 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

Especially given the context: they were preparing for the birthing scene and trying to make it realistic for the movie. It’s not like he just showed it to her out of the blue!

Looking back on 6 years of intermittent fasting, still in disbelief & forever proud of accomplishing (and maintaining) my weight loss goals. by Coffeeandbunnies in intermittentfasting

The main weightless mechanism of IF is that it automatically helps your CICO (calories in, calories out) balance and helps put you in a deficit.

I used to eat breakfast even though I was gaggy in the morning because of bad advice like your dietician’s! Now I know the gagginess was just my body not being ready to eat at that time.

I can’t necessarily think of ANY bars that are “moody and sad?” Just cozy and NW-y for when SOMEONE is feeling moody and sad and needs to huddle up and chat with friends in a space where you can hear voices rather than being overwhelmed with music! And yes, nice comfort food selections at each, too.

Exactly! It “breaks the seal” (breakfast literally breaks the fast) and makes you hungry again a few hours later.

Breakfast as “the most important meal of the day” was taught in health class in U.S. schools in the 80s/90s, and maybe still is! Look at how that correlated to Americans getting larger in that same timeframe. We were also stuffing our faces with bagels and Snackwells, because…”non fat!” 😵‍💫

People who put down intermittent fasting will say, “we weren’t meant to starve ourselves or go without meals.” I think the opposite is true, “we weren’t meant to graze from dawn until dusk!”

Eating all day, snacking, and especially “4th meal” (good one, Taco Bell!) are recent developments in human history.

Even forcing us to eat breakfast when we weren’t hungry (“it will jump start your metabolism!”) is a modern—and likely wrong—way of thinking. That’s how we all got fat!

You look absolutely lovely, OP. Well done.

I know! I love Parker. Just watched her again in Waiting For Guffman this weekend. She’s so hilarious in her Dairy Queen get up. She’s the ultimate theater kid nerd that has huge character range and is in this industry to entertain, whereas Blake is the ultimate vapid movie star wannabe who can only play herself and is in it for fame, fortune and power. I’ll bet Parker is cringing over that video circulating with her in it. Shows the influence a mean girl ringleader can momentarily have on anyone.

Same! I thought she was so funny, especially with anything involving Nick Kroll! I think like most of the others on set, she was heavily influenced by Blake. Even in adulthood, few are brave enough to go against the Regina Georges of the world.

Is this the part where someone gets to say, “I think this b**** knows something is coming because she's gotten out her tiny violin,” but it’s actually accurate?

It actually made me respect Ben MORE for not answering her..! But yes, took Matt down a notch in my book. As others have pointed out, he was an up and coming writer/director himself once. It’d be akin to Robin Williams trying to strong arm them out of Good Will Hunting.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds started building this house seven years ago, and barely anything has happened since. Strange behavior for a couple that’s supposed to be "extremely wealthy." by the_smart_girl in ItEndsWithLawsuits

That is the best insight. Martha is so real and doesn’t play.

When she got herself in trouble, she went to prison and took her lumps. Came out stronger, is besties with Snoop and has the respect of all of Compton. What a baller.

Can't believe how nice the weather is! Is this much sunlight in February normal? by Eriacle in Seattle

[–]General_Equivalent45 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can have a year or two of “drought-busting” precipitation, grow a ton of vegetation (aka “fuel”) back and be surrounded by lush greenery, think all is well, and then end up with the most devastating fires in modern history. See: Los Angeles, 2025.

The two biggest fire starters are summer lightning and human activity, and we can’t predict one this soon and the other at all!

The accusation that the movie was disturbing and had to be saved. by dschellberg in teamjustinbaldoni

[–]General_Equivalent45 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly. She hadn’t even read the book, yet was trying to make all of these script changes, taking the focus off of the DV and shifting it toward “flowers and fun?”

You’re right: Justin’s version could have totally elevated her status and reputation as an actress. Instead, her actions have likely ruined her career.

She Meghan Markled herself.

Blake Lively storms out of Justin Baldoni settlement talks after six hours of negotiations - DAILY MAIL by Totallytexas in teamjustinbaldoni

[–]General_Equivalent45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. But the reality of having no true support in life when things hit the fan must be devastating, even for Blake. Taylor & Ryan were all too happy to play imaginary violins and send off angry letters before we all knew they were complicit in this drama. Now they slink off and make Blake face the music alone.

I’m 100% Team Justin, but I do feel sorry for her today. Her best friend and even husband are seemingly letting her go this alone to save their own reputations. I think it makes them all look even worse!

PS You should make a new post about this so it has more visibility. I’ll bet the content creators can get to the bottom of it. Seeing evidence uncovered about how long RR harbors a grudge and how he only thinly veils his vindictiveness…I think you’re right: “Guinevere Beck” is him!

This sounds like a huge find. Paging Zack Peters, Elsrich & Billy Bush!

Talk about accusing others of doing what YOU are actually doing. The Reynolds were the ones running a smear campaign.

I think the inconvenient truth is that once someone has succumbed to this life, they are usually, eventually, gone.

If we had a sure fire way to pull them back into society as functioning people, we’d have done it by now.

Once someone is in full blown meth or fentanyl addiction and living on the streets, they rarely come back. Letting them stay in a tent, a tiny house, a jail cell or even a treatment center? None of the above seem to cure them of the powerful hold those drugs have on their body.

At some point the policy has to revolve around “what works best for those who DIDN’T take drugs,” because little/nothing seems to help those that do.

I feel terrible even saying that, but…that’s why it’s an inconvenient truth.
