“end up staying awake staring at the ceiling all night anyway.”

This is still better for you than not resting. There’s been a tumblr meme going around that the MythBusters and Deadliest Catch crossover episode showed that just laying down and closing your eyes even if you do not fall asleep resulted in huge gains in cognitive function over not resting.

I call it apartment gravity. The gravity in my apartment is just way way higher than the rest of the world. What can I do but sit or lay around.

I left healthcare (physical therapy) because between this and how pharmacy is going, I have no hope for the future of healthcare.

I got a friend these as a gift, he really liked it.

Loved it. It was actually a re-read for me, but felt like a good choice for the season.

I just finished an audio book version of The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher.

I’m in the middle of reading The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez.

Honestly lots of them grew up and realized that what they were doing wasn’t healthy for anyone including themselves. Neil Strauss wrote a second book detailing how PUA exacerbated his trauma and poor mental heath.

Without a flared base it is decidedly not butt plug shaped.

I think I have a lower threshold for saying “my friend” than for actually considering someone my friend. I think I have a lot of friendly acquaintances. People that I spend time with because we have some things in common (usually my hobby groups). Friends are the people that reach out to me, or that I reach out to for reasons outside of our initial reason for contact.

My life was changed when I stopped going to the gym for a long hard work out and switched to what I call “strength snacks”. I do two circuits of three exercises twice a day.

I think that walking can be a great start. But also doing some sort of resistance exercise is also important and useful. You can start with a body weight routine and move up to weights once you are solidly into the routine.

I mean , a minimum competence is the bar. I’m not recommending someone who is going to make me look bad if they get hired. But if you’re ok and my friend, I’ll recommend you and it’s more likely you’ll be hired over someone really good, but who doesn’t know anyone.

I had to read the title like four time.

It’s how I’ve made like 80% of my friends.

I wonder if someone tried claiming damage to their personal car?

I want to take a slightly different track than talking about how awful the US healthcare system system is (and I can and do rant at length about it since I’m a former healthcare worker). One rare but significant outcome of fractures is that because bone shards are really sharp, they can sometimes nick or sever your veins or arteries. Part of keeping you “under observation” was to make sure you were in a place to get care at the speed you would need in the case this happened to you. Doctors (especially EM doctors) are trained to consider the worst case possible outcome and mitigate that.

This is going to fuck over people who are exploiting WFH to say, work two jobs

can you explain how this would catch people working two jobs esp if they are both WFH jobs?

Don’t under estimate the power of the combo of tiny skirt thicc thighs.

I mean, if you have stock in like blockbuster you’re losing money there too.

I lived with my parents the entire year I was 18 and it was not a good situation (for me). I was expected to adhere to adult expectations such as paying rent and insurance, but wasn’t allowed adult freedoms such as setting my own schedule. My mother was pretty controlling and would change the rules or goalposts to suit her desired outcome.

I started the year in vocational training, got a job in the field and continued further schooling (community college in the U.S.) so I was mostly working and studying.

I’m in the last half of The Wanderers by Meg Howrey. I had gotten a few “available now” titles from my library’s e-lending and had very little idea of what it was I got going into it. I’ve been really enjoying it. It’s very atmospheric even if it’s kind of slow paced.
