Anything outside of moderation isn't good for you. The levels that define moderation depend on what we're measuring, of course.

I think any diet that aims to eliminate an entire macronutrient is suspect at best, particularly for long term use.

Biggest issue I've seen with almost anything marketed as keto is the fat content, particularly saturated fat.

Not a teacher but in my conversations with teachers in PTCs, it definitely seems like they tiptoe a lot more than I would have expected when I was growing up.

I can tell this because my third grader (who is, to a degree, special needs) objectively performs at about a kindergarten to first grade level and is often a pain in the ass behaviorally, and the teacher seemed so relieved when I was actually understanding that she is not an easy student.

I remember in third grade we had a guy who would occasionally melt down. One day he did this and left the classroom and the school. We could see him running around outside even. He was brought back to class and teacher (a lady probably in her late 50s or early 60s) asked "have a nice trip?" Several of us couldn't hold on laughter at that point.

Had a guy in my weights class sophomore year who was a loose cannon. Heard a bunch of clanking and ruckus while in the locker room, then I see him walk by holding a small locker door. Same guy earlier in the year brought in the biggest apple I'd ever seen, set it on the ground, and with one stomp made easily a 3-4 foot diameter pile of instant applesauce.

You should date whoever you want, however you want, whenever you want, so long as you abide pertinent laws. Preferably respect other existing relationships but technically not a law..

Biggest thing that will dry up your pool, locale aside, is stringency of preferences.

There are tons of women without kids who are in their later 20s and into their 30s. I left swipe otherwise seemingly amazing women fairly frequently because of a stated "no kids" desire and I have two.

https://www.newsweek.com/kevin-mccarthy-donald-trump-indictments-bar-house-speaker-fact-check-1832140

So it seems like rule 26 does bar Trump from being speaker because of his indictments. BUT the GOP can create a committee to change the rules which would not be above them to do...

Then it comes down to every single democrat voting no, and we'd need 4 republicans to also vote no, then we get probably an even bigger clown show then when mccarthy was elected in the first place. I don't see trump getting every republican vote, so I don't think this will happen. But it could, because we have a party who would absolutely make a committee to change the rules for their own gain.

People on the right need to realize if trump becomes speaker he will use that position to fuel his presidential run and not much else. It IS cute MTG actually thinks trump cares about her trans bill and that he'd do anything for her, but it isn't surprising.

Maybe I'm just pessimistic about it but I could see those nimrods voting Trump in. I think the majority of those Republicants would rather pinch their nose than to dare chance being called a third grade insult on Wish Twitter.

Doe posted...
People making $150k a year aren't simply struggling to get by due to inflation. Otherwise then it would be logically impossible for someone making $50k to even stay alive, but such people exist, with children too. The phenomenon of 6 figure income workers "just getting by" was around before COVID.

Someone with $150k is "living pay check to pay check" because they choose to spend their entire pay check. We're talking stuff like child services and more expensive housing and/or nicer cars. Long term expensive commitments that one cannot easily scale down from (as opposed to reducing your meal budget by cutting Doordash for example).

Agree, it's a mix of lifestyle creep and, really, cost of living for a particular area.

I'm in a situation wherein I am a single father with a mortgage, car payment, cover child care for two kids, and still put a decent little bit into my 401k while having fallback money. I work solid overtime to support this but none of the aforementioned expenses are ungodly either - I've yet to hit $90k in a year and I would be up shit creek if I lived in a high cost of living area.
