It didn’t help ME with chronic pain, but it does help my wife with her fibromyalgia.

I’d wager if you are up in weight, and chronic pain is in any of your weight supporting areas (hips, knees, ankles, lower back, etc) then chances are your pain could be weight related.

My parents are 100% weight related issues, and when I was trying to lose weight in 2013-2015 I tried to get them to do light stuff with me. Walk around the trees behind the house a few times. A couple light calisthenics. Ride some shitty cheap bikes around the park.

Since then their knees, hips, and ankles are their biggest complaints.

My dude I appreciate you, but I spent years doing all kinds of exercise from yoga to iron man segments and not one has been enjoyable.

6 months probation??? What kind of world do we live in where such drastic punishments are forced upon such good people! Cruel and unusual!

Surely this poor man has suffered enough for trying to overthrow the government to install a fascist dictator!

Well if we are, there isn’t a thing anyone could ever do about it, so… shrug

Man, seeing a ton of people all experiencing great returns on their hard work just makes me feel even worse for never experiencing any of it beyond the weight loss itself. For literal years. No good feelings, no endorphins, even some of my joints felt worse simply because they were being used more.

And now the exact same thing two days in a row!

Its great. I’m fine. This is fine. I’m not jealous or spiteful at all. Have fun working out for me I guess.

From my understanding, it’s how many processes it’s running?,

Could be open tabs, but my Firefox always has at least (3) even when I’ve just opened it.

Just once I would like a movie to visit Vietnam without playing any of the 5 songs every movie has to use.

We know it’s Vietnam because you’ve told us. We have also seen that same exact valley from 127,000 different angles and honestly I’m starting to recognize specific groups of trees.

Ever seen the same set or costume used in two movies? It’s a little jarring and takes you out of the movie, if only briefly.

Now imagine you’re trying to watch a serious scene and then you go “Oh hey, those trees were in the background of the intro scene to tropic thunder!” and now all you can think of is Ben Stiller’s stub hands.

It’s very obvious who has faced actual hardship and who has led a very priveledged life where they’ve never had to make a truly hard choice.

When you’re on day 3 of no food, there’s not much you won’t do for a bite.

Keeping food in your family’s mouths is a small price to pay for indifference to people you’ve never met before.

You don’t even have to criticize them. They literally block the word from getting used because they refuse criticism

THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPIONS

THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPIONS

How do you think they got the stone on the end of a stick

For a long time, they didn’t.

Hand stone tools predate everything except sharpened sticks as spears.

Without the Olduvai tools, we have no civilization.

I would bet that you’re all guys

Weirdly sexist take…

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

Lol OK bye.

Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.

Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn’t track your total karma.

Unless you’re going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.

I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don’t know because luckily my instance doesn’t track votes.

The point is, it’s a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.

A lot of MAGAts would gladly shoot themselves in the foot if they were certain the bullet hurts “the libs”

“The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems customers slip through your fingers.”

I went on a 40,000ly journey just meandering to whatever area looked cool. I also went hunting for earth-likes so I could get my username attached to something in the game.

Once I got back… I just didn’t feel like playing anymore.

Easily 2k hours in the game. Clearly I was okay with the grind for quite awhile… But nothing stays entertaining forever.

Truth is denied those who seek it with both eyes closed.

I’m sure so much of our history is more or less completely unknowable simply because the remains all degraded quickly.

How many things made out of wood that simply rotted away, or burned or any one of a thousand things.

Stone tools were a game changer in every sense.

… Aren’t we all, in one way or another?

Tldr I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion.

Cake day?

I have no idea what day I first started using lemmy, or when I made an account. I’m okay not knowing.

As for “karma”, do any instances track total karma, or just per-comment? Honestly I don’t give a shit if my comments do well or not, I don’t live for other people’s amusement.

As for other people, I can’t speak for them, but I haven’t seen anyone crying for lemmy to be more like reddit.

_{___}

I mean, I’ve had my knee crushed by a sledgehammer. My left hand has been run through with a knife. I’ve taken a bullet to the hip through a vehicle door.

Doesn’t mean I don’t still feel pain when I get a sack slap.
