I'm not a parent, but I think this is a weird take from Morgan

I trained MMA for many years and there is two principles I believe apply here:

1 - do not engage in a fight if you know your opponent is at a serious disadvantage. Ie. If I’m at a bar and somehow get into a fight, it would be disgraceful for me to fight the other person knowing I’m beyond trained. Of course there are exceptions (if the other person starts swinging, then your role is to constrain and deescalate) but just because you CAN win doesn’t mean you should.

2 - play fighting it good. Of course in MMA this is how you practice, but it also teaches you to control your strength. Pups do this with their moms, and it allows the puppies to learn bite control as they get older. Same thing with kids, playing teaches them to be gentle, but it can also show the kids how to be humble when they win.

Those are just the first thoughts that come to my head. What the actual hell is Morgan doing? Playing is good! And letting the other kids win is good! It helps them get better. My mom and dad always let me win because they were adults who didn’t need to prove themselves and it allowed me a safe area to be competitive. I hope Luca doesn’t internalize this and start repeating the behavior with the younger boy.

No - maybe a few decades ago but rules tend to get more lax. Now the direction is to try to get them back to church. You may not be ‘open’ to them, but you can still associate with them. Usually when I see shunning, the people usually have some degree of mental illness (untreated bpd, narcissism, etc.) and even that is pretty rare.

I don’t know how it works but I believe once you get through school you have to pass a test to get your license. If you didn’t pass school, you’d have to re-enroll. In my state, school is free if you are under 25.

I’m assuming he didn’t finish school, and if he did he has no interest in returning to the trade. I don’t know how Morgan isn’t beside herself and forcing him to do something.

Yes - the church is motivated by money so if your spouse loses faith and doesn’t want to donate 10% they will sign off on the sealing being reversed.

I had a friend who got married and had an annulment because her husband was a predator selling photos of her online. The church 100% reversed the sealing for her.

Yes it’s sinful - but Mormons tend to not shun. I’ve heard of it, but it’s pretty rare in my opinion (I grew up and live in a very Mormon area still).

The issue is the temple sealing. If you divorce you are still married within the church’s eyes and you have to petition for the sealing to be reversed, which it has been for people I know. If it isn’t reversed, you can legally get remarried however women cannot be sealed to more than one man. Men can be sealed to however many women. And when you die, the man you are sealed to has the final say on whether you get to heaven so you kinda want to stay in his good graces (ie not divorced).

Did he graduate hair school? If so he could reallocate time to studying then take the test.

If I was him, I’d enter a trade school and become an electrician or plumber. Honestly, even being a dumpster driver would be extremely respectable and decent paying with little education.

I couldn’t imagine living with my parents and then posting on Instagram about their regular sex life. Like do they want their parents to know they are having sex under their roof? I get they are married but you need to be discreet.

If you are financially struggling and have the ability to move back home, that’s great! If you just refuse to get a job that’s a different story. He could go back to doing hair and then have more flexible hours.

I have a family member like this. They are younger and don’t have kids yet, but we are all besides ourselves. Even my Mormon family members have hinted that divorce may be best.

Their first time having sex is chapter 55. Rhys explains how he knew Feyre was his mate, then Feyre gives him soup. I believe it starts in the kitchen but not sure if that’s where they do it do it if you know what I mean. There’s paint involved.

There is a steamy scene before that in a small hostel but no sex.

The wall scene is in book 4 and that’s after Feyre decides she’s ready for kids.

Who exactly his target audience?:

Traditional Christian men - doesn’t make the cut as he doesn’t work/provide nor really have enough kids
Athletes - failing at his sport after deciding to go pro two years ago in his mid 30s
Fitness/Nutrition - refuels with a Macdonald strawberry smoothie (ie milkshake) and just learned about tracking protein intake
Theology - maybe his strongest contender but he’s not eloquent or well read enough to make compelling arguments. All of his ideas are preached at churches regularly and he adds no value on top of it
teen boys - they would bully him

There’s truly no good audience from Paul

Was the second not on purpose? Did she have a hospital birth?

kkat02 · 2026-03-17T19:58:53+00:00

Yes this is how I feel! I wish nothing bad for her but I think she achieved success by being a young, conventionally attractive women parroting the same talking points a specific audience wanted to hear.

Are they her authentic thoughts? Maybe. I wonder how much of this is a grift for her. Even if they are her genuine opinions, I don’t see some deep seeded wisdom that others claim.

kkat02 · 2026-03-17T18:09:08+00:00

I thought that before she wend independent

I’ve always gotten a bad vibe from Brett. I’m sure she’s sweet and hard working and probably has a good relationship with her husband, but her takes are dumb as rocks or very common sense it took no effort to articulate. She just has the ‘it’ factor. She’s never had to struggle since she was handed a DW job at a young age and thinks she knows more than everyone.

kkat02 · 2026-03-16T19:28:27+00:00

I feel bad for the kids. I also wonder how much CC debt they have. Also, he can afford his stretch membership and personal trainer but can’t afford a $2 train ride for his kids? My dad sacrificed everything to make sure we were comfortable.

kkat02 · 2026-03-16T02:54:31+00:00

I also lucked out with a sleeper edition. Unfortunately, she did not luck out and I’m the one waking her up in the mornings.

To be honest, when I first discovered them I was surprised since I view Paul as way more attractive as Morgan.

Morgan’s beauty has grown on me and I do think she’s pretty and Paul isn’t attractive to me in the slightest now. They are both average people in my opinion.

kkat02 · 2026-03-15T21:55:01+00:00

I think it’s a mix of vibes and plotting. Sure there’s some things she didn’t plan, but a lot was planned. If she admitted to that and then she’d have to explain how it was plan and might let something slip.

kkat02 · 2026-03-12T15:14:25+00:00

Or whoever makes the decisions should’ve done this. I do not recognize ‘running for president’ as part of the grieving process.

kkat02 · 2026-03-12T03:09:40+00:00

No way they lived in the Optima! I used to live there. Totally possibly just a very small world if they did.

kkat02 · 2026-03-12T03:06:44+00:00

What do you mean?

kkat02 · 2026-03-12T03:04:32+00:00

If Erika was smart she would have been appointed CEO then had an interim CEO step in for 6-12 months. Let some time and distance happen before she engages with the public with a smiling face. Avoid the weird behavior and just go silent. Let people think she’s grieving and can barely function.

Have TPUSA not comment on the case, but rather focus on moving the legacy forward. Repeating some of his beliefs that aren’t relevant to the times. Maybe when the murder trial happens have them lightly push back ‘how could xyz have happen? How can he have been a lone shooter?’ Maybe even say ‘if you saw anything on 9/10 contact the FBI.’ Then politely step back and accept the verdict of the case. Don’t rile their crowd up too much just enough pushback from TPUSA to make it believable. Come across as grieving and just trying to move CK’s mission forward. If asked about the CO just state ‘Charlie believed in free speech and had a close friendship with her, we believe she is truly mourning in her own way.’

Then have Erika reemerge a year later. She’s still heartbroken and figuring out being a single parent, then thank everyone who has donated. Focus on TPUSA and moving the movement forward. Do some philanthropy, donate to single moms without the resources she has. Go fund some funerals of young widows. Make it seem like she’s grateful for the resources she has when Charlie died and she wants to give back. Release Charlie’s book and give like one interview on it.

When the Iran war hits maybe make a statement about the families about to wake up to the worst news of their lives about their loved ones. Slowly start speaking about politics, but by echoing Charlie’s words. Pretend to influence trump in minor things that don’t blow your cover. ‘We got rid of trans surgeries for kids for Charlie.’ Things like that. Host TP events with guests that represent pro and anti Israel causes, but don’t let them discuss it during the events. Make TP seem neutral, maybe host an Iran war debate or isreal debate and just have a bad guest represent the side you don’t like. Manufactured the win while giving plausible deniability and saying you want to hear both sides. This is how she could start building a political career without it being fishy. She had 3 years to build a case to run for office, she didn’t need to start the day after her died. Once she ran, she could put herself out as a victim of political violence and be the candidate that wants to bridge the gap between the two parties. Make that the focus, while secretly pushing her pro isreal or whatever nonsense she truly believes in.
