I think a lot of her critics haven’t actually read her book. And fair enough - I don’t read books just to verify they suck as much as I think they will. But I also don’t go around saying they suck. Just that I figure they do.

I’d say these aren’t bad sexts and aren’t really sexts at all. Bad at sexting would be more like “First, I’m going to put my hot dog in your bun.”

I’m a book-lover and way into Konmari. Kondo doesn’t have any rule about the number of books a person should own, just like she doesn’t have a rule about the number of any other category you should own. She has a lot of guidelines that help you get rid of things you’re holding onto out of guilt. Maybe you feel guilty…

I mean I definitely want 1% of Bill Gates’ money, but how do I get him to agree?

The guy has $100,000 dollars, you can have $99,000 of them.

In the fat burning zone, the calories being spent are moreso fat than carbs/muscle-mass, but you’re not burning a ton of calories (99% of “my” money).

This definitely feels weird and voyeuristic. I don’t see an ocean of difference between this and releasing leaked photos of naked celebrities. 

Also, isn’t there supposed to be some pretext for publishing a person’s private communications, beyond, “Hey, we got hold of this person’s private communications”? This is a consensual relationship between two adults, right?

Yeah, as someone who ventured into Tinder and Bumble about six months ago, these texts are like a fresh breeze. Much better than “C’mon babe, send me a nude with your face in it.”*

I had a body builder friend explain the fat burning zone to me like this:

“LOL these texts suck!” said thousands of people gleefully creeping on someone’s private texts.

Seriously. And if it were Chris Pine texting, “I want to smell you, I want to breathe you in. I want to hold you tight.… I want to kiss your lips…. I love you. I am in love with you.” We would all be swooning.

I’m with Bezos on this one. I think it’s sweet, it expresses deep passion and emotion and isn’t really about sex, it is about love. He’s offering to caress her and stare deeply into her eyes. I mean, he is married so that part is gross, but you’re not criticizing that. You are conflating romantic texts with sexts an…

It is ;)

I do something similar. I take chunks of pork tenderloin, pound them to about 1/2" thickness, brown them quickly, then make a pan sauce with jam and mustard. I usually saute some shallots or garlic, then deglaze with wine or stock, then whisk in the jam and mustard, then some cream or butter and herbs.

I’m one of those people that was doing keto before keto became cool... I also am not a morning person and A) usually don’t like to eat breakfast and B) usually don’t have time to eat breakfast. But my go-to has been 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with about 1/4 cup of blueberries in a to-go container. Takes about 2 minutes…

I hardcore dieted for like a year and cottage cheese was an important food group. I often ate it for lunch, mixed in with a flavored tuna packet. Easy, low carb lunch that was maybe 350 calories.

Not me, I’ll take protein over carbohydrates.

We’ve seen this script before.

The original recipe was much more southern France mediterranean than it was silk road mediterranean, so the herbs are totally canon.
