  • In my experience, persistent joint pain can be mitigated by working the muscles that pad that joint.

    Consider doing some yoga or basic tai-chi that will stretch the region that is in pain. As you move through forms and poses you will figure out which muscle or muscle group needs to be strengthened and you will find movements that work it.

    I’ve got some gnarly arthritis so my joints are always inflamed. Yoga helps me to keep the muscles strong enough to power through the inflammation without pain, though with arthritis it always hurts a little 🥲











  • When my grandmother tried to tell me she didn’t understand computers we got her an iPad. She tried to tell us that was too hard too and I reminded her “you’re not an idiot grandma, babies who can’t read yet figure there things out”

    She figured it out, just needed a kick in the pants about the defeatism.


  • Becky is Karen’s friend who thinks she is cool because she’s nice and doesn’t yell at customer service workers but is actually a wet fart of a person and is just kinda boring. Kyle is… Well kyle is kyle. Everyone knows a kyle, maybe your kyle was called kevin (but I assure you he was still a kyle). Kyle is the guy who has it all figured out, if only “it all” was this years pyramid scam. Kyle is a nice guy! He wants to help you, really! He remembers that one time in high school when he tripped and you walked around him instead of stepping on his papers and he really appreciated that small kindness (like didn’t get much love at home).

    These are different from Karen and Chad. Chad is the Quarterback Soccer Captain of the Basketball team. He’s got more meat on his jaw than a butcher has on display. He got married to Karen, they dated all through high school so nobody was really surprised, but what IS surprising is that the sports scholarship that Chad got a full ride to Good University with got taken away after his 3rd on campus rape, something that surely would’ve flown under the radar if he just managed to throw that last game winning pass. Karen, for reasons known only to her and her gods, always forgives Chad for his misgivings and misdeeds.







  • ADHD often (not always, there’s a few types) comes with an inability or reduces ability to direct ones focus. It is believed that the mechanism behind this is one of early or overzealous dopamine reuptake.

    Mammalian brains have a reward system based on the release and reuptake of dopamine. Perform survival task, get some dopamine. People with ADHD, due to their overzealous reuptake, do not build up significant enough amounts of dopamine for this reward system to function as normal. As a result of this, when someone with ADHD is cleaning (a task that would normally supply enough dopamine to hold attention) and sees the box of nostalgia, enough dopamine is released by interacting with the nostalgia box (because nostalgia) to override the attention on the task and shift it to the fun engaging box of stuff.
