Not an old person yet, but I thought I was prepared for everything since I’ve had shitty joints, a shitty back, and a shitty memory since I was a kid.

As soon as I hit 30 I started putting on weight despite never changing my diet or exercise routine 🥲 no more hourglass figure for me!

I can’t find the specific one I watched, but punching “Walmart union” into YouTube shows they’ve made a lot of anti-union “training” videos before.

Thank you ❤️

I hadn’t thought about that, thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to triple check with my insurance because they’ve been rejecting everything lately 😬

I hadn’t heard that, that’s interesting. Occam’s razor suggests I just overdid it on bicep curls, but that’s still good to know!

Horrible. Had some slight elbow pain at the gym. Went to the doctor. Told to keep it in a brace and not bend it. I swear the compression and the stiffness are making it worse, it’s gone from a little bit of pain beside my elbow to moderate pain all down my arm.

People keep insisting it feels worse than it is and acting like I’m being stubborn when I say it wasn’t that bad at first. Everyone’s saying shit unprompted like “tennis elbow never gets better” or “we’re not ‘treating you like’ you’re disabled, chronic pain is a real disability!”

My doctor told me that if, in the future, I do any kind of movement and it hurts my arm, I need to remember to “not do that movement again” because it’ll cause re-injury. So I guess I’m not supposed to lift weights for the rest of my life?

It’s really getting to my head. It just felt like a little bruise beside my elbow. It’s not like they did any imaging and found something horrible, why is everyone acting like it’s over?

I never even got to be buff… I was so malnourished it took me years to get visible muscles, and they were never impressive 😮‍💨 I had a stupid daydream of being an attractive butch

This would never work!

That they weren’t feeding us well. I didn’t know enough about nutrition to fully make my argument, I just remember getting sulky when we went shopping and our cart was 90% junk food.

Unfortunately I think people downvoting things they disagree with is kind of inevitable. People are notoriously combative online, and if they’re given an option to drown someone out, they’re going to abuse it. And that makes it even easier for any sort of hivemind to kick in.

I personally don’t know a better system, but it’s not perfect.

Death, misery, and fruits!

So Disney wants to make it so if you have a Disney+ account, they’re allowed to kill you.

Not a great strategy for retaining customers, gang.

Aren’t they a major food source for other animals?

Everyone thank OP for pollinating!

Unless you’re an American Twitter employee— in which case, my condolences— I don’t see how this is less worthy of celebration.

Good, it means more guys feel safe to explore themselves without getting beaten or killed.

I see, thanks. I always thought of rustic aesthetics as a practical thing— like you only have access to thrift finds and grandma’s hand-me-downs, but you still want to tie it together into something beautiful. What I’ve gathered from this thread is that it’s been spun into more rich racist bullshit.

This explains a lot, thanks. My only exposure to cottagecore is as a hashtag on aesthetic photos that pretty much look like my broke country friends’ houses, it sounds like there’s a lot more to it and an insidious set of values underneath.

I didn’t actually know aesthetics had influencers, turns out that I know even less about this than I thought.

I don’t doubt the cryptofash claims but I don’t get it either. When I asked I was told that it was because the cottage is on stolen land, but aren’t apartments?

Not the most dramatic, but when I was really little I remember play fighting with my brothers, and falling backwards off the bed and hitting my head against a dresser.

There was no wound or anything but I remember seeing all kinds of fucked up colors at the moment of impact. Despite being a huge crybaby, I’m pretty sure I didn’t cry or freak out, I was just extremely fatigued.

I wonder if we should have gone to the doctor. I don’t think you’re supposed to see TV static and rainbow vomit when you bump your head.
