Brotherly love didn’t even last in my parents church while inside the building. They convinced a pastor to move his family across the country, and then when ONE PERSON got offended by a difference in interpretation, they managed to strong arm their church leaders into firing the pastor.

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.

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.

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.

Okay you and Nuke can have a small one, as a treat.

Go play out back, have fun.

So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it’s been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.

Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, “Ai learning from Ai”

Keiko would make a good chef, I think. She has experience with different kinds of cuisine.

Of course, she may not personally enjoy cooking some things, like a traditional Irish breakfast… But she would still make it taste good for the people who do like it (while constantly trying to get them to try literally anything else that’s healthy)

And neelix knows how to be serious when it’s needed. He would enjoy slam poetry and baking classes in an out-of-the-way area, but the moment the red alert is sounded, he’s ready to go with a phaser in hand, and memories of the war.

I’ll pass on The Sisko being my enemy. I do not want him to be my enemy. I choose life. He can live with it

Well… The species will probably survive, as will a plethora of other species on the planet.

The things that definitely won’t survive are modern society and it’s status quo.

Nobody wants a nuclear war. I think we can all agree that it would be bad for an uncountable number of reasons.

I’m going out with a girl after work and we’re gonna play in the park.

(It’s my wife and I’ll be riding my bike while she tries to get used to inline skates again. We’re in our 30s.)

But for real I miss being able to just… Enjoy a playground. Go throw rocks at the creek with friends. Have sword battles with sticks we found while walking by the trees.

But if I do that, people call the cops because some old guy is clearly confused and wandering around…

Someone who has the ability to do something about things: “See, so 1.5 is totally fine! Full speed ahead!”

Infinite growth machine go brrrrrrr

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.

“is a lengthy time consuming process”

No, it REALLY isn’t, and any pig that tells you otherwise is trying to get you to drop the issue so they don’t have more paperwork.

They don’t give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it’s a complete waste to even contact them over “petty theft”, regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.

A lot of these comments reek of boot polish…

Lol I once got banned for the mere suggestion of using one of these.

Still haven’t heard a more reasonable suggestion though. Asking and yelling haven’t been working.

One day at work, I found out a work friend actually believed the whole “crystal energy” thing.

Since she was the first person I had ever met who actually admitted to that, I wanted to know more about what her specific beliefs about them were.

At first she was super bubbly about it, on par with her personality. But then as I asked a couple common sense questions about why science doesnt find anything measurable, and first she got hostile and mad that I would dare question another person’s beliefs, but when I explained I was genuinely curious and had no interest in changing her beliefs she just kind of broke down because nobody ever takes her seriously or believes her about her “personal healing journey”

The way I see it, it’s for adults who like pretty rocks, but can’t come to terms with the fact that they like something “childish” (because for some reason a lot of adults call a rock collection cringe or childish or dumb, but clearly they’ve never met a geologist) so instead of having a pretty rock and mineral collection, they have “healing crystals”, and eventually it just becomes kind of like part of their identity the way a religion is.

I will however, 100% giggle at their expense with my wife, later. Because anyone who buys $50 polished selenite drink coaster “charging plate”, and a $200 brass pyramid to “recharge” their $50 “healing quartz wand” while refusing to listen to real science deserves to be giggled at.

Run far, run fast.

My own biases might be showing, but to me, from what you have said here, she has basically just used you for years, doesn’t support you, doesn’t want you, and now that you’ve helped fix her, she’s ready to fuck some other dude?

I genuinely don’t know what I would do in your situation, I have an idea and it isn’t from a good headspace.

So run far, run fast.

Cut tumors out before they grow larger.

They joke, but I legitimately know people whose parents were the super Christian “any book about controversial topics is the devil and so are video games and TV” to the point where when she found out her daughter had Harry potter book, she burned every book of hers that wasn’t directly religious.

Well guess who decided to “give them a try” since “the author clearly has the right ideas about life” since all her children are out of the house and the only ones who bother visiting are the two with kids (who would never admit it but they’re only there for free babysitting and future help) and one who just doubled down into the religion despite witnessing the same bullshit as her siblings…

So yeah, this may have been intended as a joke, but they’re closer to the truth than they might know.

Weird, I’ve literally always heard “ignorance of the law is no excuse to break the law”, which seems to imply criminal intent doesn’t matter. Only that the action that was take was illegal.
