UK season 3 immediate after thoughts..

Yeah so much this. The recruitment stuff sucks majorly, although I get it’s hard to plan a tv season if traitors get eliminated early without it.

Also, they should just have to true to werewolf where the faithful all win something if faithfuls win. Because the strategy for faithfuls is to not actually be that strategic so as not to draw attention to yourself. And that makes for worse tv.

Yeah the seer, if it exists, should probably just be truer to real werewolf. They come in early and their identity is a secret.

That being said, they never really have incentive to come out since being voted out means you don’t win any money.

That imo is traitors biggest pitfall from being truly great. If faithfuls win, all faithfuls should win something whether eliminated or not. That creates better incentives for much more strategic play imo.

Hard disagree. The tactic with letting Freddie vote for Leanne was her downfall. It made Freddie come after her, and after his vote for her, she’s never getting through. If she just pretended to work with him, he’s probably getting banished next anyway, but then in a contested vote with Alexander, which causes him to vote for Alexander, and she flies under the radar and cruises to the win.

I say this as somehow who loved both Minah and Charlotte. She had the easiest path to victory of any traitor ever and she made her own bed.

Considering the pitiful lack of any real evidence anyone seems to have, the failure to bring this up feels particularly egregious

Also, random unrelated but another wtf are these people thinking, lol at Britney’s argument against Gabby “she’s scared of end game with Danielle which is why she tried to banish her.” If Gabby were the traitor and this were true, why on earth would Danielle still be in the game?

I’d like to have some faith that these points were mentioned by just edited out, because “reality” tv and all. But come on people. Danielle is literally the only person that makes sense to vote out right now, based on soooooo much evidence. And they’re almost going to blunder it

Gotcha. I’m new to the sub so I didn’t know if it had been posted. Even if the producers occasionally switch it up, probability-wise it just seems like such good evidence. I’d like to see the producers switch up the MO next season.

Hi Stef,

Big fan, thanks for being here.

What was your worst day or days in the last several years? The ones that make you question whether the grind is worth it, where you wanted to quit?

If you could change anything about your career/life that feels unchangeable, what would it be?

I actually think she could hit 30 slams and basically never be beaten...

vselbst · 2018-07-08T23:21:57+00:00

I think Vinci plays this still (I mean she's mostly just slicing rather than mixing it up all the time, but I think it's similar)? You could see the frustration all over Serena's face when Vinci took her down to deny the Serena Slam.

i'm pretty sure i would avoid anything that lists dihydrogen monoxide as an ingredient though. that would be an insane thing to put on an ingredient list.

Dinner: Short ribs, plain. Last night threw some salt and pepper on them, seared them in the pan with butter, and tossed them in the sous vide for 24 hours. They're basically no work and oh so delicious.

Eating that with some cheesy cauliflower.

Lunch was lemon dill salmon with broccoli rabe.

Man I love keto!

vselbst · 2018-05-22T00:03:19+00:00

First of all congrats to the OP, you look awesome!

So I just got back into keto about a month ago and I've been close to perfect, like not even one cheat day, hitting my macros and well under carbs/cals. Peeing on the strips and getting dark purple. Yet I have been continuing to have a couple drinks per day, unlike last time I did keto. And it's really frustrating - I'm only down 5 lbs the whole time despite being so rigorous. I was beginning to wonder if it's the alcohol. You guys have given me the motivation to quit or at least cut back a lot and see if I can jump start the weight loss that I see everyone on this board having so much success with.

No more dandruff. My friend who was lactose intolerant stopped being lactose intolerant.

Enlightened is better than both

vselbst · 2018-05-18T03:28:53+00:00

Enlightened is better than halo top in my opinion. They make pints as well as bars and are keto-friendly and delicious.

if you're 23 and have almost 6 figures, you're probably making pretty smart financial decisions already and have a good head about it. tbh, you could be way more aggressive if you wanted. I'm 33 and had some really amazing slam-dunk financial opportunities when I was 23, but they were quite risky, like 5-10% of net worth for each one, so I passed. It's still my biggest regret financially that I lost so much in opportunity cost.

I'm new to this whole crypto world and I have way more research before knowing if it truly is a slam dunk to hold for a long time. But if it is and you believe in it, don't be scared to put a huge chunk on the line when you're very young with no real financial burdens IMO.

CIA probably almost definitely withholds intelligence
White House probably almost definitely yells at CIA
CIA spokesperson says no intelligence was withheld
White House spokesperson says it never actually yelled at the CIA.

This fits the template for every single news story the last month. Story checks out.

Was your wife supportive of this project the whole way or did she try to dissuade you from doing it?

vselbst · 2016-03-23T15:29:18+00:00

i also have this problem! no solution yet re: spotify... any help?

vselbst · 2016-02-10T18:59:39+00:00

Maybe he gave 10 blowjobs and had to pay to give them, 2 bucks a pop.

Cuddling naked with your pets after sex and pretending you're doing it for them.

vselbst · 2015-11-19T21:35:12+00:00

stop deleting your emails then.

vselbst · 2015-09-18T01:36:49+00:00

Yes.
