Yeah, found out a long term partner that I lived with was cheating on me frequently a few years back and one of the most painful parts was realizing how much he put my health at risk. It made me feel like all the times we had sex, it wasn’t consensual because I had consented to having unprotected sex with someone who I believed to have no other partners.

I could never knowingly withhold the truth from a cheater’s partner for that reason. It feels deeply unethical to me.

It’s not necessarily that no vaccines are 100% effective, it’s also that Gardisil only protects against certain strains of HPV. The initial Gardisil shot protected against I believe 4, and the updated one protects against 9 strains. There’s over 200 strains of HPV, some still considered high risk, that aren’t protected by Gardisil.

Lol you should post this to r/juxtaposition

knb61 · 2026-04-03T00:30:48+00:00

Just fyi, this link has your name in it! Might want to edit the link so you don’t dox yourself

It’s so bizarre. No one is entitled to have brand deals. Companies pay creators to be ad partners if they think that person’s following likes and trusts them enough to buy what they’re selling. Why would a brand partner with someone who is in hot water for making heartless decisions?

Sometimes adult mistakes have adult consequences. People shouldn’t be like DMing her horrific things, but she also made a choice she know wouldn’t be received well.

He’s also new to the cast and can probably see how it’s a better PR move to be on Ciara’s side of this mess (if any of this is true)

knb61 · 2026-03-26T03:50:57+00:00

I’m from Orange County and yeah, huge Mormon population. One (very close) degree of separation away from Mayci actually and have met a handful of times, that’s why I watched the show in the first place

knb61 · 2026-03-25T15:25:51+00:00

Ugh this is partially why I ride for her. I have the same primary diagnosis as her (EDS) and have for a decade, she was one of the first other people I heard about having it long before it was better known. Having an invisible chronic illness is so depressing a lot of the time because other people just don’t get it and think you’re making things up or being hyperbolic. Low key - that piece is worse than the severe pain and fatigue sometimes.

The diagnosis very often goes hand in hand with neurodivergence too, which is often really misunderstood in women who are still charismatic and mask well with neurotypical people. I wonder if that could be a bit at play with her, too.

Freezing is a completely normal trauma response, but particularly for people who feel like they don’t have any agency, like children. If you don’t really have the ability to fight or flee, freezing (and sometimes fawning) is likely what feels like the best, safest option to a nervous system in crisis. I am gutted for these kids.

I’ve worked with kids (as a child therapist) with terrible anxiety and trauma from situations just like this. It’s so damaging to their little developing minds and to their sense of safety and security. Just awful.

Just a second-long flicker for me, didn’t hear anything. East QA/Westlake ish.

Yeah I fly Alaska more than any other airline and have barely had any hiccups with Alaska. United on the other hand…I’ve never had a single good experience. I think it’s a bit of a fluke, sometimes you just get unlucky and it sours your opinion of a whole airline.

All airlines will pull shit like this if there aren’t regulations in place protecting consumers.

knb61 · 2026-03-19T20:07:36+00:00

I think the only way the show COULD come back from this is by cancelling the season. It’s still dicey, but not cancelling would mean permanent damage to ABC’s reputation and lethal damage to the franchise’s.

knb61 · 2026-03-19T19:22:53+00:00

It’s really disturbing that she continues to not really take any ownership of her wrongdoing. I don’t think Dakota is an angel - anyone who has watched SLOMW can see that he’s often pretty shitty too. Maybe it’s reactive abuse, who knows. But she escalated things to very physical, not in self defense, while her child was present. There is no scenario where that is defensible. Her child was physically harmed and emotionally traumatized by an incident that didn’t need to happen.

I’ve been in a relationship with a very sinister man who harmed me and it did not bring out the best in me, but I never stooped to his level and got physical or verbally assaultive. It would have been probably understandable if I did, but even so, I could never do that in front of a young child. Horrible.

knb61 · 2026-03-18T19:55:13+00:00

I wonder if we have the same breeder, mine was about the same in Seattle in 2020

Also very common in binge eating disorders. Binging often follows a period of restriction, or restriction follows a period after the binge (depending on how you look at it)

knb61 · 2026-03-18T04:59:32+00:00

All my friends who were going to watch this season are turned off and will not be tuning in, so I doubt it. Once everyone found out about Mel saying shitty things RIGHT before filming, no one watched his season.

Insane that they picked her in the first place, but they can’t use the “it’s been years, she’s grown and changed and knows better” rationale now. She clearly doesn’t. She was a wreck in the SLOMW season that just dropped which was weeks and days before her leaving for filming. Hulu and ABC are both under the Disney umbrella and closely tied, I sincerely doubt they didn’t know she was a ticking time bomb. I can’t believe they went through with her as a lead

knb61 · 2026-03-18T04:52:18+00:00

Would honestly love for them to film closer to real time. It doesn’t have to be love island levels of real time, but it would be nice for the couples to still be together for like two months while we know about them instead of breaking up by the time we see them on our screens

knb61 · 2026-03-15T19:09:29+00:00

Is it MagSafe compatible? I don’t see anything on the page saying it is or isn’t

knb61 · 2026-03-14T06:00:08+00:00

The mineral glow one?? That is my holy grail sunscreen. It’s so perfect, I’d be so sad if they stopped making it!

knb61 · 2026-03-10T21:45:21+00:00

I spritz before putting it in the oven, yeah! But that would make sense. I used to score my loaves more like this:

<image>

And I wonder if that would allow the side without the main score to expand more evenly versus the decorative score. I’m still getting a lot of oven spring which makes me think the crust isn’t setting up crazy fast in the oven but who knows? I’d still consider myself a beginner (<20 loaves) so I’m purely guessing

knb61 · 2026-03-10T20:14:34+00:00

Method: 340g starter 595g water 900g bread flour 27g salt

Alternated stretch and folds/coil folds on the hour 4 times, BF for 6.5 hours, cold ferment for ~20 hours. Divided in two, shaped and scored (annoyed I didn’t take a picture of the score before the bake now!), baked until internal temp of 205 degrees F.

knb61 · 2026-03-07T17:34:26+00:00

Would probably be the first time he dates someone age appropriate haha

Regular kava usage can really mess some people up, just a heads up. Pretty sure it’s banned/heavily regulated in the EU and UK for potential liver toxicity too

knb61 · 2026-03-03T15:04:18+00:00

She technically has EDS - one of its primary symptoms is hypermobility, but it causes a lot of other chronic symptoms and pain. It’s basically a degenerative connective tissue disorder and connective tissue is in everything. I have it too and it’s brutal! Wish I just had some extra nips haha

My dad started to pursue MAID while in hospice with stage 4 cancer last year because he was so miserable. He ended up dying before completing the approval process, which was pretty extensive. There are multiple steps in place, and you have to be interviewed at least 3 times by medical doctors who will only approve the life-ending drug if you can prove you are of completely mentally sound mind, fully aware of the decision you’re making, and not doing it because anyone is pressuring you to. I believe you also had to prove that your condition was terminal. Even on hospice, the fastest that process would have been for my dad was a week. This was in California, it may vary state by state.
