  • 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.


  • 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.






  • My old work ordered everything from uline, and I started bringing in my own TP specifically because of how awful it is to use that tissue paper.

    Legitimately feels like tissue paper that people stuff gift bags with.

    But at the same time, almost slippery.

    And you WILL know if you creased the paper the wrong way, because it WILL stab at you with the force of ten thousand teeny tiny needles.





  • The people involved in The Good One know historical armor, and how it’s supposed to fit, while also knowing how to blend in the fantasy elements that make them pop

    The New One just wants to look pretty, while clearly having vastly underestimated the needed budget to make good costumes.

    Honestly, I think I’ve seen some repainted Spirit Halloween stuff.

    Granted, a good prop/costume department can make anything cheap look good. I’ve seen a lot of plumbing parts attached to Sci fi guns. (some ship guns are literally entirely plumbing parts with vfx lasers done in post)

    I’d love to see a total breakdown of the expenses. I’d wager the costume department is one of the lowest on the list.

    LPT: If you want armor that allows proper motion, you need sliding joints, or narrow areas with less protection. The chest piece should not be flat across the bottom, nor should it come down to your waist. You can’t bend properly with the one on the right. Range of motion on the arms is also severely limited, which makes combat basically a death sentence for you since you literally can’t move your arms to block high.

    Boromir on the other hand, everything allows for greater range of motion. The chest piece flares out once it goes a little past the ribcage, which while probably wouldn’t win you any yoga competitions, allows you to bend and ride a horse. The pauldrons are oversized to cover the thinner shoulder straps, so the arms can rotate up properly, and the armor around all the joints slides nicely over itself.

    Once you know how to make GOOD armor, you start realizing a lot of modern movies just clearly have no consideration for it. It’s all about what looks cool to the average person.

    Skallagrim on youtube has some breakdowns of historic accuracy in movies, but he usually focuses on the combat itself. Though every point I’ve brought up comes up in one way or another during combat.


  • I fully believe that the warehouse I work in wastes more plastic in a week than every employee of the company that owns it combined will waste in their whole lives.

    Plastic wrapped plastic pallets with plastic boxes, containing plastic wrapped items of plastic.

    When the boxes come off the truck, the plastic wrap is removed, large boxes separated to small boxes. Then plastic wrapped again.

    From there they go onto shelves, the second set of plastic wrap slowly comes off.

    When they’re picked up to be moved, they’re plastic wrapped.

    When they’re taken to shipping, they’re plastic wrapped.

    When they finally go on the pallet that takes them to a store, they’re plastic wrapped.

    They have two compactors, one is for plastic one is for cardboard, and the conpacted plastic gets tossed into the same huge shipping containers their regular trash goes into.

    From my dealings with this warehouse, I do not believe they recycle anything, and that management actively opposes such things (because tHaTs WoKe)

    It almost feels pointless to even try sometimes.

    BUT the more people who try to go plastic free by choice, and put pressure on companies to reduce plastic use, the more likely change can happen.

    But hey, I can’t control a multi billion dollar company, although I can sure try to limit my own waste at every opportunity.




  • Am I taking crazy pills or are people actually saying this is a good thing?

    Jesus fucking christ you people are so dependent on the system you literally can’t even comprehend the fact that nobody should need to be working when there’s a higher priority like family.

    Make all the “oh but they’re easy to take care of/if the person wants to work/the company is a good one for this” coping excuses you need to feel good about how shitty working lives have become, I guess.

    Don’t bother responding if you’re going to make more excuses why “this is good/okay”, you’re speaking to a wall.
