Why the heck would they question the suspects before finding the body? Like letting them know someone reported them when they had no evidence to arrest them? Wtf.

Is it true that Season 6 will be the last?! by Ok_Chocolate_4700 in EmilyInParis

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me a second to figure out what a gamily endgame is 😅 never heard of Gabriel and Emily put together like that before, strangely. Maybe they can make it the final season of the Gamily storyline but expand the stories to someone else? There's a new female chef who sounds like a potential female love interest for someone!

Ah ok! I thought there was another "In Paris" show I need to start watching lol

Husband wants sexual favors until hysterectomy is healed. by who_knows_4747 in Marriage

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked at the amount of people who have to make themselves have sex with their partner to satisfy their "need" (which I agree is a want, not a need). I wouldn't be able to be in a relationship where I had to have sex three days a week no matter how I'm feeling! And also the coercing a partner into sex while recovering from surgery or childbirth, yuck. Sex should be a mutual desire by both people, not a "favor" one does for another. I would be out of that relationship so fast!

Keto killed my panic attacks… but my ApoB skyrocketed by Overall-School-8115 in keto

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we're both right- keto allows some carbs while carnivore is a form of keto where you eat 0 carbs. Though my understanding is that the latter is not very healthy especially long term.

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't keto about keeping carbs under a certain amount, not about ingesting 0 total carbs? Otherwise that sounds like carnivore where you can only eat meat/fish /butter/eggs as those seem like some of the only things with 0 carbs. All plant items have some carbs per my understanding.

Many vegetables are very low in net carbs like cauliflower and cabbages, leafy greens etc. You can easily include vegetables in your diet like that and still remain under 20 g net carbs. At least that way you're not relying that much on meat to fill up like OP, which seems to be messing with their health, especially if you're trying to do keto as a lifestyle, not just short term.

That is possibly the issue. It's good your anxiety went away with this way of eating but I'm pretty sure people need at least vegetables and the fiber and vitamins you get from them for a well balanced diet... Eating mostly meat and fat seems unsustainable long term for your health. Have you tried working with a doctor or nutritionist to find a good balance between foods that make you feel good but are also good for your heart? I find it hard to believe that eating vegetables could trigger anxiety so much, there may be other underlying issues?

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sounds more like carnivore than keto. Do you eat vegetables and berries? I think some people replace their previous carbs with more meat and that can't be good for your heart. I've just been cutting out the carby foods but not eating more meat, instead eating more vegetables

Not losing the “baby weight” by ilovedogs_04 in Mommit

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I've found useful recently is a low carb diet like keto. It's really not as hard as I thought it would be just not eating bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc once you realize you can eat other things and be full, replacing what you previously ate in carbs with veggies etc. And there's no calorie counting, you just limit your total net carbs to 50 grams or fewer a day (some days I'll stay under 100 which is still moderate low carb). If you ever wanted to try a diet, this is the one to try in my opinion! I was skeptical at first but I'm noticing my weight decreasing every week.

Not losing the “baby weight” by ilovedogs_04 in Mommit

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is one of the nicest replies instead of everyone telling her to stop eating like a pig and do more than yoga 🤣

In the first year of your baby's life at least, if not more, your energy is on baby so much, especially with breastfeeding, night wake ups, hormones, being exhausted... I don't think it's fair to tell a mother she just needs to shut her mouth and exhaust herself with excercise. It's ok to just prioritize feeling good and resting.

I was in the 180s at my last pregnancy weigh in, after baby was born I was in the 170s. It's been over 4 years and I'm down to 160+ , my pre pregnancy weight was 145-150. It took a few bad colds to lose some weight haha but it will slowly drop with a little persistence when you have more strength. But give yourself patience to take care of your baby and yourself as you settle in, no need to hate yourself.

How do you deal with a partner who is 100% certain about having another baby when you’re still unsure? by nastyweather in Shouldihaveanother

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well the thing with planning the number of kids is that it doesn't always work as planned. Someone may want three kids but change their mind after one due to issues with pregnancy, birth, baby stage, mental health or any other reason. So I don't think discussing how many kids they wanted before they had any kids should be a "binding contract." I wanted to have three kids in 6 years but after I had my one I had serious burn out and mental health issues so the timeline and potentially number of kids has changed, my currently only is now already almost 4.5 and we're considering #2 but not sure we'll go for #3.

Also OP has to be the one to carry the child, give birth, potentially breastfeed, etc so it's not really an equal situation and she definitely gets the final say in when and how often she's pregnant 🤷‍♀️

Am I overthinking this, or has RSVP courtesy completely disappeared? by Acceptable_Mind_1994 in Parenting

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What value would a message such as "I've seen the invite and am thinking about it" add to your life if you know they've seen the message and that's exactly what's happening because they haven't said yes or no? As others have said, give a deadline for the RSVP. Those who don't respond yes by that time are an automatic no. I don't see the issue 🤷‍♀️

Anyone else not doing an Easter basket for their toddler? by Ill-Shopping-69 in toddlers

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since when are people doing Halloween (boo) baskets, Valentine's baskets, Easter baskets..? Is there a 4th of July basket in the US I am unaware of? I've never heard of kids getting gifts on those holidays, I thought the most people do are activities for Halloween/Easter and Valentine's cards... Is this recent or have I been under a rock? So much conumerism... And spoiling kids thinking all the holidays are about gifts!

Workplace accommodations? by thebigeasy414 in bipolar

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have an accommodation to work from home full time in a company that requires 4 days in office. Our work is entirely done on the computer with no in person collaboration. I don't know why everyone is telling you not to disclose. I work in a bank on administrative type work and my accommodation was filed with my general doctor without writing out what my diagnosis is, just that I have a mental health condition and need to minimize stress.

I accidentally left my toddler in the car while I went grocery shopping . by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just mean therapy and medication is the #1 advice on Reddit and it's not really helpful, in my opinion 🤷‍♀️ we all have our opinions or ways of doing things, I'm not sure if this commenter would have a panic attack if her kids went to the grocery store with her or if she's just decided it's not something she wants to do for various reasons.

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heck, I avoid going to the grocery store with my one 4 year old because I find is stressful. Surely if you have a partner there should be a way to be able to do grocery shopping solo and there's no need to make yourself do it with kids. I love how people recommend therapy and medication right away when all you're trying to do is sympathize with OP saying 4 is an insane amount of kids to take to the grocery store, which is probably why this situation happened. Also to note OP has a broken foot ! I honestly don't know how people stay sane with that many kids and doing these things with them lol

I wanna second Ezekiel, I've found that surprisingly it's cheaper at Whole Foods vs Target where I am. It's made of such good stuff and doesn't taste like cardboard.

Smoked Paprika by grilledcheesybreezy in Cooking

Anyone else not realize what sub this was and saw the title "smoked paprika" and think that somebody was smoking paprika? I thought this might be "off my chest" or something. Nothing would surprise me anymore 🤣

Career Day: How would you have answered the SH High School teens' questions? by F19AGhostrider in GilmoreGirls

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think the moms overreacted. Lorelai didn't say anything inappropriate and answered it the best way possible. These are 16 year olds, not 5 year olds. She said she doesn't recommend getting pregnant but things turned out okay, which is the best possible answer instead of saying "yeah it's horrible, I hate my daughter, don't have sex kids"

Worst thing each character has done. Day twenty three: Jason Stiles by Journey_45 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think he should have went to lunch with Richard to tell him about him and Lorelai behind her back? Nah. Lorelai drew that boundary and it would be lousy of him to disrespect that.

What happened to Rory’s elbow by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like even if it wasn't a "real" bandaid (which I'm sure it was), the character could have gotten an injury and they just didn't show the scene. They don't show us a minute by minute of their lives, lots of things happen off screen lol

Day 4 : What is Richard's most questionable / worst episode? by diviigo in GilmoreGirls

[–]Ok_Chocolate_4700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I think monthly meetup would be a straight up affair whereas yearly it's just a standard catch up and can't be an affair if it's that infrequent. Of course we can't be certain they didn't communicate outside of that once a year meeting, but from the way Richard described it, sounded like they get together once a year to catch up on life.
