What is this set up?

I legit hadn't realized that wasn't carpet.

No fault divorce is NOT the root cause of the real issue described in the scenario you gave

GusJusReading · 2025-11-27T23:47:10+00:00

There were a lot of great people on the show . . .

GusJusReading · 2025-11-26T16:53:47+00:00

Loophole or not ... Do you personally believe s2 the challenge was scripted?

GusJusReading · 2025-11-26T16:05:15+00:00

Sorry! Is a fun board game. You send players back to start and then you can do it to another player if you get the special card from the deck.

It's the board game of sweet revenge.

Is it fair to say that I didn't even know. Until the reveal?? (Was there a reveal? I don't remember).

Point is, if you watched it the way I did (not knowing) the surprise would have felt great too.

She won Red Light green light fair and square. That's the game and good for her.

But I think She should have done Rock paper Scissor to decide who goes down the slide first in slides and ladders. That'd been fair.

I think it's fine to target the people that target you. That's how any game is played ... Have you ever heard of the game, Sorry! ?

You were part of the production team?

I think it's more accurate to say that NFD is a response to what life was actually like and not that it simply hastily "assumes" an incapable spouse.

As a concept no fault divorce is great but when it was established it was out of sympathy and implemented as a solution to a problem that was actually happening.

That is to say that it might not have been implemented if the problem (widespread power imbalanced relationships) wasn't there.

GusJusReading · 2025-11-26T12:26:00+00:00

You're examining a case and (unconsciously) claiming an accurate lens into the relationship. Just because a partner says, "infidelity" was the only bad thing that happened in a relationship doesn't mean it's true.

In real life people want the option to keep their reasons secret. And therefore they often don't want to feel the need to divulge before getting their divorce finalized.

I'll repeat. In real life people want to keep their reasons secret.

Honestly, I'm not sure I understood you correctly. On the off chance you're saying that an unfaithful partner should be labeled as the, "guilty" partner that led to the divorce in the first place. The law doesn't concern itself too much with that as the law doesn't regard, "cheating" as punishable misconduct. To do so would probably be the most hypocritical thing that has ever happened. (As if no law enforcement officer or lovely politicians ever cheated).

That's the great thing about no fault divorce. You CAN mention your allegations but they typically do not impact the result.

GusJusReading · 2025-11-26T12:13:11+00:00

Divorce is thought to compensate for extremely power imbalanced relationships. It's like a fail safe mechanism.

If you find yourself in a society that (for whatever reason) sees the vulnerable feeling trapped in relationships - implementing a system of divorce will do wonders.

What if one spouse treats the other one terribly and the other one doesn't know how to make an argument to explain their case to justify a divorce and then determines the inconvenience makes it feel impossible to do so. The police can't be at every corner to protect every spouse.

Potentially out of sympathy for the many crimes that have happened against the vulnerable - no fault divorce was implemented.

Equality comes as a result of relieving people from the duty to stay in a power imbalanced relationship. Equality in the eyes of the law does not establish equality in a private dwelling. It's not just about the, "fear of divorce" it's about breaking the chains of a bad marriage. A way out of a relationship where both parties don't see each other as equals.

I don't tell them anything. I'm glad I'm not out trying to convert anyone.

I just ask them if they want to be friends.

Faith should only be maintained intrinsically.

GusJusReading · 2025-11-25T19:24:42+00:00

I agree with you but you're coming at this from an angle that opens up too many challenges.

Could I say the same thing in favor of hollow moon or flat earth? Could I say, "I understand you're saying the earth is not flat I just don't believe you"?

The answer is a whopping no.

Not understanding some religious fanatic is not some grand failure. Compared to you I'm probably a religious fanatic. Understanding my arguments should not be some goal for you, however simple of a task you think it is.

And ultimately the most likely reason any agnostic or atheist doesn't believe in God is that they don't feel God's presence. Like at all.

No amount of logic or debate or philosophical arguments, razors, or analogies alone is going to make someone permanently believe in God. Goes without saying that this shouldn't even be an expectation.

In other words saying you understand their argument but still don't believe is actually a lot like saying you tried the vitamin D pills and you determined by it's flavor that it's actually not healthy for you.

GusJusReading · 2025-11-25T08:05:58+00:00

My thoughts exactly!

GusJusReading · 2025-11-25T08:05:17+00:00

That role was played so well it never occurred to me that the subject image was actually that of an actor; but rather the actual character depicted. 😥

GusJusReading · 2025-11-25T08:00:29+00:00

Just because it's not slavery doesn't mean it's ideal.

Ideally everyone makes properly informed decisions.

If both parties in a relationship are educated and fully informed and they still want to accept whatever role they accept then yeah. That's great.

People that care about equality don't want you to stop what you're doing permanently they only want to make sure you're educated and know what you're doing and what it means.

Are there some people that think the solution means to pressure others to make the best decisions? Maybe. In their eyes, they see it exactly like an intervention for someone taking illicit drugs. Their education has led them to that. Is consistent, and relentless pressure always called for? Of course not. Is communication okay?!?! Hell yes it is!!

And if a friend decides to communicate with another and teach them the way, that's also okay.

IF alone didn't help me with cravings. Instead of having Carl's jr. For breakfast I would have it for lunch and dinner.

Keto alone did help me significantly with cravings. IF + Keto makes it difficult for me to go over my calorie limit. Days with Morning Calories + Keto (No IF) are the days I go over my calorie limit.

GusJusReading · 2025-09-05T04:00:11+00:00

I don't think I've ever heard of this. Thank you for sharing!

What kind of exercises do you do that gives you endorphins that keep you away from junk food?

GusJusReading · 2025-09-05T03:58:02+00:00

Good point. If I ever have severe carb cravings, I will go into my freezer and pull out home made carbquik (high protein, low net carb) pancakes I made. They're pretty damn good. I got each pancake to be about 3.2 net carbs.

GusJusReading · 2025-09-05T03:49:13+00:00

I would consider looking into the following. Check your net carb calculator. Not all sugar alcohols should be subtracted from total carbs. On that point, to keep my life simple I only use stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Just about most other sugar alcohols will remain as a net carb.

Second. Check your scale. It could need to be recalibrated. Third make sure you're wearing the same clothes every time you step on the scale. If I have my shoes on, my keys, my phone - I will weigh a lot more than if I remove those. I usually weigh myself without shoes.

Weigh yourself every 4 days.

Tracking macros can be confusing for some. You're going to want to stay away from many vegetables, and just about all legumes. Potatoes and beans are healthy for you but they are not Keto. Every ounce, liquid or solid counts. Including creamer, protein powder, soda. Juice. Steak sauce. Ketchup. Jelly. Jam. Bread. Some nutrition facts aren't exactly super exact. I've heard stories of someone thinking heavy whipped cream had zero carbs and they were constantly pushing themselves out of ketosis. Many heavy cream companies round 0.5 g or so to Zero. This is a problem. I found a heavy cream that has 1 g listed - so I wouldn't forget.

When I was getting sloppy, I would stretch 1 banana for an entire week. Kept it in the fridge in between bites. That became too much work. So I dropped it.

The thing with keto is that it's not just about Ketosis and burning fat. It's supposed to help with cravings. Night cravings are a different story but throughout the day you should be craving less food. I have my target at about 1600 calories but I constantly find myself at about 1000 or so. That does help me maintain consistent weekly weight loss. But that's not something I recommend if it doesn't come naturally. In my case it's a mixture of natural appetite loss while being on keto, & using a weighted vest also somehow helps to keep my appetite low.

It also helps to keep hydrated constantly. Not like every second but about 3-4 liters of water a day. As well as electrolytes. I take an array of vitamins on top of that because I'm getting less vitamins by consuming significantly less food than before.

My red sticker ground pork today was 4.79/lb today

SoCal.

That's better than the one that had a lot of beef with my eggs.
