For people with physical jobs, try a little weight lifting. You don't have to be the best or lift super heavy weights for it to be useful.

It's one thing to have signs up at work reminding you to lift with your knees. It's another thing to really learn, through constant practice, how to move your body safely, and activate muscles you never thought about. You won't need signs to remind you, and you're less likely to lift something stupidly and fuck up your joints even if you're in a hurry, because correct technique will be burnt into your brain.

I know it's not exactly obscure knowledge but a lot of people don't bother unless they've got some kind of body goal. I've found it to be an educational experience even if I'm not a bodybuilder.

Congratulations! You don't have to see the guy with a confederate flag skullcap tattoo around town and resist the urge to bash his face

I live in the US south.

Half my customers want me dead and the other half don't because they don't notice I'm queer 🙃 I enable them to buy video games that fund transphobic campaigns, toys that fund Israel, and drinks that fund death squads. I could quit my job and die, but the machine would keep turning, I'd just be its latest casualty.

I've had mostly terrible interactions with doctors, including them trying me on random SSRIs for nearly a decade before they ran out of options and agreed to try ADHD meds.

I did have one REALLY good interaction with a guy at a walk-in clinic though. Felt my knee while I bent it and told me imaging wasn't necessary because he could feel the tear. Multiple years of false answers and physical therapy that went nowhere and then I got lucky enough to have a doctor who had the same kind of tear and knew what he was doing.

Depends what you mean by "chore" because I still had to cook and walk my cat (we're leash training), but I think I spent the day trying to make a papier-mache mask but gave up because I messed up my base piece. Literally all I did was glue paper together then throw it away and it was the most creatively fulfilling experience I've had in ages.

I change details a lot. Get the catharsis of pouring my soul while hopefully confounding whatever dipshit would think I'm a good target.

My name maybe has some letters in common with "Alice".

I'm convinced it's because we want to be loved, but most people will settle for someone just feeling positive about some superficial aspect of them.

Yeah, but depending on the state, they're not widely adopted. A lot of people aren't going to spend the extra money for reusable bags unless they're forced to.

My local grocery store doesn't have a self checkout and I swear they must assume they heard me wrong when I ask them not to bag things. :(

Noob question but is there a reason I can't seem to open it in the app? It keeps opening in Firefox

 
 

‘Family values’ bill is adopted despite being denounced by the president, rights groups and the European Union.

Kesaria Abramidze, a trans model, was murdered the day after the bill passed. Even if the president vetos it, this law already has a body count.

So basically I was unschooled, and the amount of books I've read in my life is embarrassingly low. It was never emforced like in a school, and with my family's religious hangups, I never tried getting into new things because I never knew what would be deemed "offensive".

But I'm always interested when I hear people talk about both storycraft and also literary criticism, so I want to take an earnest stab at getting into books.

No real criteria, I don't know what I like so I can't tell you what I'm looking for, other than it needs to be in English or have an English translation. Just wanna know what y'all think would make good or important reading.

ETA holy shit thanks for all the suggestions! Definitely gonna make a list

ETA if I reply extremely late it's because it took me this long to get a library card in my new locale.

 

It seems like I'm always hearing about family vloggers getting put away for child abuse. I'm not into family vlogging, so maybe I'm wrong, but people always make it sound like these two channels were popular.

But then they go on to describe their videos, and it's always parents doing insane shit to make the kids cry on purpose, or announcing on camera that they're withholding necessities from the kids or something. I've never heard anyone say they like these videos, and I can't imagine why they would, so then how were they supposedly popular?

 
 

Torrenting this show isn't an option. Every torrent I've tried has this specific episode missing, with a duplicate episode in its place. Most of the streaming sites do, too. The only stream I've found is on vidsrc.me, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to download it.

I've searched around and found multiple recommendations for video downloader sites, and several people suggested the Firefox extension DownThemAll!, but I've had no luck. It's a generic "can't find video" message every time.

I'm guessing these apps and sites worked at some point but they updated their API. Hoping against hope that someone who's done it recently can tell me how they did it.
