Just a consideration to add to the others, but you may want to consider some neck stretching and exercises. Tension in the first two or three cervical vertebrae can cause migraines.

Added bonuses include that this option is free, it takes up very little time, it can be done almost anywhere, plus it’ll help you hold up that big ole brain a lot better in the future!

Non-smoker/drinker, formerly very physically fit person weighing in. In the five or so years surrounding 40, everything suddenly fell apart. Knees would ache after pickup games. I picked up an empty suitcase and slipped a disc. Shoulder started feeling sandy. Hands got arthritic.

It snuck up on me until one day I realized that I couldn’t remember what it was to not have something hurting. I hate to say that I could easily wish it on my worst enemies, but not the average person going about their business.

That’s been a barrier for me. I came from Baconreader. Scroll, tap, see the meme and the comments. It bugs me that Connect makes me take an extra step.

That feels like it would be very open to abuse: OP can edit the post later to read:

“Upvote and comment to show your respect for the Proud Boys who are staying strong! The government has become our Yoko Ono!”

Then readers will all wonder if this is new code talk and be surprised by the votes and engagement.

That sounds like Unbox Therapy. His vids were always straightforward but entertaining and he seemed to bring up criticisms when they were valid. Then, it seemed like suddenly his production value skyrocketed and at the same time, he never had anything critical to say about whatever product he was unboxing.

I gave it a few months but eventually unsubbed and haven’t thought about the channel for a couple years until just now. Not really interested in checking it out again, though.

Yeah the way you describe it makes it sound like we could build an AI forum where each user is the only one in there and all the rest are ai bots whose only purpose is to generate the content and interaction we’re looking for.

I think Reddit is just the beta version.

Biden could announce tomorrow that he has a proven plan that will end world hunger forever

I can’t figure out what my uncle would say but I feel sure it would be something like:

“That’s actually the Trump Plan he’s talking about and it would absolutely do what he was saying about it, but Biden’s gonna put some sorta socialism spin on it and really mess us up. Ain’t nothing to do with socialism that’s ever done one thing to benefit the country. Oop! There’s the time and I’ve got to get. Gotta hit the interstate and get by the bank to cash my social security check on my way to the VA.”

I finally found that hot garbage dumpster fire smell I was so familiar with on Reddit. Just had to randomly bump into a post about politics.

If your “we” is Democrats, then you may want to think twice before running head long into battle. Gun ownership among Republicans outnumbers Democrats more than two to one. That figure is per person and not a gun count per household, which is much higher with 2/3 of the gun-owning population owning more than one gun.

The only way you’ll win is by persuading the swing vote as Independent gun ownership is almost as high as the Republicans. But you probably won’t get all the Independents because a lot of them are right-leaning.

All that is to say that while I don’t expect us to ever get in a combative civil war, and I hope we don’t, I also think it’s in everyone’s best interests if no one is thirsty for one either.
