theFibonacciEffect, in If Harry Potter was set 50 years earlier

A Wizard can say one avada kedavera in 4 seconds, a machine gun can shoot one bullet in 0.2 seconds.

jollyrogue, in Lucky me?

Damn, I still don’t have a setup to listen my records. 😕

Ibex0, in oof

CDs were up to $16 when I was making less that $10/hr at work. 😢

someguy3, in Threw out my back... While walking?

On a serious note, do deadlifts.

archon,

I have a weak back already… is it advisable to start lifting heavy things still? Last time i did i felt like my back got worse. Poor technique perhaps?

Start with a bar, get your form down. Add weights very slowly (like you should be getting frustrated by how little weight you’re lifting). Keep adding making sure form stays perfect. If back starts hurting drop down in weight, and start doing back and core and glute strengthening exercises. Continue.

It’s not a cure, but it’s pretty close.

someguy3,

People default to thinking about big heavy deadlifts, but it really doesn’t need to be. The muscle activation, posture, etc from light deadlifts is really good. It strengthens your back. (Talk to your doctor blah blah blah.)

Lauchs,

The irony is that this does feel like karma for taking a week off from the gym.

I should know better, old man is always lurking, stalking and waiting for a sign of weakness.

Defenestrator,

I cured my back pain with squats and deadlifts.

CCF_100, in Hmm... what to say ?

I’m looking at this image while in bed

son_named_bort, in lots of homework....

Well yeah, I didn’t want to do the homework. It’s someone else’s problem now.

tdawg, in I had to check... it's day4 of stock memes

Only if it’s small enough to palm and move to a pocket as you turn a corner. And also only of it’s not at your normal location. Don’t shit where you eat

DrPop, in Lucky me?

What’s your favorite vinyl? Mine is the pre-broadway print of Hadestown. I got it for my wife as an anniversary gift and I wonder how much it may be worth.

Edit, it became cheaper😂

WhisperingEye,

I haven’t heard of Hadestown but I’ll look it up. Right now my favorite is Joni Mitchell, Court And Spark

WhisperingEye,

I’ve just started listening to Hadestown and I’m only in the opening track, and I already love you for making me aware of it! I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be over my depression (one day) LOL

Edit: I wish I could upvote you twice!

DrPop,

Joking about it means you at least acknowledge it which means something for depression. And yeah it’s a really fun album and you can probably tell how the show ended up winning a ton of Tony’s. I still need to see the live performance.

tburkhol, in Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. Now I cry on company time

Quaint rhyme from better times. Boss is making $34 for my dime today.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it were only a 20x difference. It is more like a 5000x difference. 🥲

habanhero, in Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. Now I cry on company time

Do you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?

Console_Modder,
@Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works avatar

If I can be less productive at work and get paid to cry, then that’s a double win on the capitalists

habanhero,

But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?

jaywalker,

On their terms? The capitalists don’t want you to cry while you’re supposed to be working. Crying on their terms would be crying outside of work.

habanhero,

Yet capitalism is ingrained enough for you to think that’s the best option, instead of what you need / want it’s whatever that makes you the most money. So it’s a win for capitalism in the sense that you are the capitalist first, and human second.

Sabre363, in This is the advice I live by

I can manage that before even getting out of bed.

We tried. It ends up feeling kind of wrong

Rhaedas, in Threw out my back... While walking?

What will always get you is doing something unusual. When working, always have a safe procedure for moving and be very careful when doing things a different way. When at home or at leisure, don't go beyond the limits of what you're used to doing without planning and prep. And know those limits! I've pulled my back a few times before and I wasn't doing anything more than usual, but I was doing it differently, and it got me.

deegeese, in But cat domesticated us

Farming -> grain -> rodents -> cats

hemko,

Fake news.

jaybone,

Fake meows

Norgur,

I like OP's version better, so that's what is fact now.

danc4498,

You can like it, but the hard truth is that cats were never domesticated. They can leave anytime they want and would be fine. Humans would never be the same, though…

angrystego,

This only works for outdoor cats and in areas with plenty of prey. Most indoor cats don’t do well if left on their own and outdoor cats often struggle too.

XTL,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication_of_the_cat

Indeed. I’m a little disappointed that wp doesn’t mention that other than in the naming and talk.

A link from there:

www.newyorker.com/tech/…/are-cats-domesticated

angrystego, (edited )

I think that’s because the narrow scientific term domestication is used in casual speach with a shifted meaning. And that’s because we don’t have any other expression for animals that you can be friends with that would sound as cool as domesticated (taming is too tame).

Edit: Sorry, got lost in the threads. I’ll leave it here because it is still kind of on topic. I guess I should also add that domestication is a process and the line where an animal is considered domesticated is arbitrary.

My cat would die in seconds if I let him outside. He’s too dumb to live.

bstix,

That’s what big cat wants you to think.

In reality, cats already ate the rodents, but now you have to pay them for doing it.

Nuh uh, Cat domesticated us

bitsplease,

Hell. Even today cats are great for pest control, my cats go nuts if there’s a fly in the house until they get it

Granted, a cat leaping across the room constantly to try and get it is way more annoying than the fly itself, but still lol
