I’m 40 next year. This year I’ve switched jobs after 16 years of mainly sitting in a chair looking at synchroniser rings for gear boxes.
The new job has a lot more lifting involved and no chairs. I’ve had so many aches in my back, shoulders and right limbs since I started.
This week I picked something heavy up and put it down on a bottom shelf. My back popped. I saw stars. My brain felt a bit funny for an hour or so afterwards.
Luckily I managed to pop the disc back by hanging by my arms from a low bar, and massaging the hurt muscles.
Lift with your legs, not your back!
I too feel like this meme is a decade early, but I do feel the meme.
My wife has crippling Endometriosis so I’ve always been the one that’s not hurting, but I feel like a whiney little bitch when I am in pain just because she’s living with lifelong pain.
Her loss is my gain though, she gets the strong pain killers, so if I have half her dose I’m getting twice the over the counter dose.
If only they taught us in school how to take care of our bodies, our feelings, our minds, our relationships, our communities and our environment…
I cannot agree more. I went a bit mental last year, debilitating anxiety, and did a course on how to manage it. At the same time my eldest kid was starting Big School and suffering exactly the same thing, so I spent my time teaching him the things I was learning.
They’re much better in schools (at least in the UK) now with mental health, he had daily check ins with the mental health first aider or some such, which I really appreciated because there was fuck all like that in my day, when men were men and everyone had Polio (I jest)
The one that made me sad was the monkey that just sat with it’s face pressed into the floor because the chip had made its brain infected and it didn’t know how to deal with the pain, poor bastard.
If you listen to the Yazidis he was sent to Hell for defying God by not bowing down to us humans, his greatest work, despite God telling Satan to never bow to anyone because he was made of God’s essence rather than us, made in his likeness.
So he went to Hell for 10 000 years until his tears put out the fires of Hell, then God forgave him. He also rewarded him for honoring his original pact with God and was given Dominion over Earth.
He took this Dominion and gave us Humans “Knowledge” like the Serpent in the Garden of Eden, only the Knowledge was of Farming.
Thing is, the Yazidis live awefully close to what is thought to be the birthplace of Farming.
When asked to describe Satan, they described him as a Peacock holding a sheaf of Wheat in it’s beak, the same image found in Gobekli Tepe, which is thought to be a shrine that taught Farming to the world.
Hail Satan.
Edit: this is just my understanding after reading an article or 2 on the subject, I’m probably wrong about loads of it, but it’s all just stories anyway so who cares?
