It didn't help ME with chronic pain, but it does help my wife with her fibromyalgia.
I'd wager if you are up in weight, and chronic pain is in any of your weight supporting areas (hips, knees, ankles, lower back, etc) then chances are your pain could be weight related.
My parents are 100% weight related issues, and when I was trying to lose weight in 2013-2015 I tried to get them to do light stuff with me. Walk around the trees behind the house a few times. A couple light calisthenics. Ride some shitty cheap bikes around the park.
Since then their knees, hips, and ankles are their biggest complaints.
Gotta be unpredictable, the nozzles can smell intent.
My dude I appreciate you, but I spent years doing all kinds of exercise from yoga to iron man segments and not one has been enjoyable.
Man, seeing a ton of people all experiencing great returns on their hard work just makes me feel even worse for never experiencing any of it beyond the weight loss itself. For literal years. No good feelings, no endorphins, even some of my joints felt worse simply because they were being used more.
And now the exact same thing two days in a row!
Its great. I'm fine. This is fine. I'm not jealous or spiteful at all. Have fun working out for me I guess.
Just once I would like a movie to visit Vietnam without playing any of the 5 songs every movie has to use.
We know it's Vietnam because you've told us. We have also seen that same exact valley from 127,000 different angles and honestly I'm starting to recognize specific groups of trees.
Ever seen the same set or costume used in two movies? It's a little jarring and takes you out of the movie, if only briefly.
Now imagine you're trying to watch a serious scene and then you go "Oh hey, those trees were in the background of the intro scene to tropic thunder!" and now all you can think of is Ben Stiller's stub hands.
I went on a 40,000ly journey just meandering to whatever area looked cool. I also went hunting for earth-likes so I could get my username attached to something in the game.
Once I got back..... I just didn't feel like playing anymore.
Easily 2k hours in the game. Clearly I was okay with the grind for quite awhile.... But nothing stays entertaining forever.
Okay you and Nuke can have a small one, as a treat.
Go play out back, have fun.
So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it's been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.
Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, "Ai learning from Ai"
Well... The species will probably survive, as will a plethora of other species on the planet.
The things that definitely won't survive are modern society and it's status quo.
Nobody wants a nuclear war. I think we can all agree that it would be bad for an uncountable number of reasons.
"But that still doesn't mean you'll get to play it"
Well then it doesn't exist.
And until I actually am staring at the introduction screens, it's vaporware.
Have we gone on long enough to see the endless wheel of "HALF LIFE 3?????" once again spin back around? I remember seeing a handful of these a year, every time valve did anything.
Expect nothing, and you can't be disappointed.
