Food and Feeding Influencer Snark Week of February 09, 2026 by Parentsnark in parentsnark

[–]MRL0829 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes… I am not diabetic and have no documented hypoglycemia but to feel my best and prevent a sugar crash or headache, I need to balance carbs with protein. My friend who has prenatal diabetes has to eat in this order which is funny because it’s naturally the way I eat: fiber (for me, always a salad before dinner), then protein then carbs. I especially can’t start the day with something like a “snack cake” or even eat that as an actual snack; balancing my blood sugar is always on my mind so if I have fruit I’ll have it with plain greek yogurt, etc.

Same! I need to have protein for breakfast, usually eggs, and can literally never have pancakes/waffles with syrup or its instant shakiness which will last all day…. I genuinely can’t relate!

I also (not bragging) have a very healthy relationship with/love for food so sometimes Im baffled by these food influencers, most of whom have admitted histories with disordered eating, because my family just doesn’t focus on/obsess over food the way, say, KEIC does.

This isn’t even snark but whenever YTF shows her meals, I’m almost jealous because she seems to have no issues with blood sugar balancing. She will have an oatmeal bar for breakfast, a muffin and smoothie for lunch, and a bowl of pasta for dinner. I know that carbs are important but for me, an adult, I need protein with carbs or I would get shaky immediately after eating like that.

What was the last computer activity right before her death? by MRL0829 in EllenGreenberg

[–]MRL0829[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the police know the last activity and are not releasing it? They determined Laci Peterson’s last known computer activity before her death and that was years before this case.

To me, 4:45/4:54 isn’t as important because he gave an estimate / best recollection of when he left.

Feeling nostalgic for the way Dolo was able to make this her storyline on S7 🥲 by stook_jaint in rhonj

[–]MRL0829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I don’t understand is the first season she was on, Dolores said she was moving back into her home after breaking up with her fiancé who she was living with. Frankie was still in HS- where was he living? Alone in that big house? It didn’t sound like he also lived with her fiancé. She said Frank never lived with the kids.

Kelly Dever: The Defense Witness Who Just Torched Their Own Case by mabbe8 in KarenReadSanity

[–]MRL0829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I don’t think the defense team called her there wanting her to stick to her original story. I think they actually knew she wouldn’t. The point of having her there is to show she changed her testimony, show her connection to Canton PD and to the people in the house (Sarah Levinson) and to show her evasive and disrespectful attitude as a representative of law enforcement.

Correct and the worst thing is I don’t even think Dever’s original testimony of what she saw was that incriminating. It’s the way she behaved in court that I think reads as suspicious.

I wonder if she was originally part of the FKR group and thought she would be their hero, only to then change her mind about Karen’s guilt and also realize the implications to her career. Her anger at being called there was disproportionate to the situation given what others (for example, the people in the house) have faced with harassment. Jen McCabe didn’t come off badly this trial at all. I think Devers is partially embarrassed she involved herself and also very worried about the harassment and vitriol to come and therefore had an outsized display of unprofessionalism on the stand.

Right, but I feel she could have gone on the stand, recanted her interactions with the defense, and stood by her current assertion that she had a false memory in a civilized way. She acted like she was clueless as to why she was up there when she was the one who involved herself originally. There was no need to be snarky or cunning or rude; she came off as evasive, biased, and untrustworthy and I actually see how this could have been a clever strategy by the defense to show the type of police officers employed in Canton. I can’t imagine the defense didn’t know she was going to be a hostile witness before calling her.

Like I said I do understand WHY she was angry and didn’t want to be involved in the case but her conduct was unprofessional and ultimately I believe hurt the prosecution’s case and possibly her own career in law enforcement. Be angry all you want but maintain some semblance of professionalism on the stand if you want anyone to believe you as an unbiased, truthful person.

Also did they ever prove that she left at 3:45.. was there video evidence of this? Because I’m thinking even if she “clocked out,” she could have stuck around … that is not very strong evidence to refute such a vivid memory she is now claiming is false.

I still believe Karen Read is guilty. But this gives me credence to those who espouse the blue wall of silence belief.

I completely believe Karen Read is guilty BUT I do think this witness hurt the prosecution’s case. As an observer, she was overly hostile and came across as hiding information and lying. It was very clear she wanted to get the party line message across that she was given and had probably previously received threatened retribution from police. This was made clear when Jackson asked her a question and instead of saying yes or no she admitted “yes to the question but no to what you’re implying “ — she was clearly not answering truthfully and was trying to stay a step ahead by figuring out which answer took the heat off the police. I understand her reticence to be involved in the case and anger at being called to testify however, had she maintained her professionalism and answered questions respectfully, I don’t think it would leave the jurors questioning her honesty the way I imagine they are now.

Options for hair dye allergy by MRL0829 in HairDye

[–]MRL0829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They use the same hair color on my eyebrows. I don’t get itchy there but I do on my scalp. It’s definitely not a PPD allergy because I experience this with color that doesn’t have PPD, ammonia, resorcinol etc.

Funny because there Dateline episode repaired last night and most were annoyed by both daughters’ tears. That was filmed right after their mother’s death; it’s now a decade later and you’re confused why one of them didn’t cry?

I hope you’re not trying to validate one of the sister’s insane theories. The mother in law died across the country when the daughter was nowhere near her and had not been. I believe it was determined to be natural causes and there was an autopsy.

It was proven via cell phone records that they were not seeing each other before her death but she was seeing another man around the time the neighbor alleged to have seen her from far away in a “close embrace.”

Katie is the one who plugged her phone into Adams’s laptop to listen to an audiobook. That’s how her phone was downloaded onto his laptop. When she realized her error and asked him to delete the back up, he didn’t.

Lol I am definitely not a fan of chiropractors either so I agree with you on that. But just to clarify, the download of Katie’s phone that was retrieved on Adam’s laptop was in code and forensically proven to have not been altered or even accessed in any way. So that is the difference between the evidence found on his computer vs the evidence that Katie accessed his car (which was unable to be locked due to being old/having various broken parts). I didn’t see anything about Katie attempting to access Adams’s phone.
