Whatโ€™s something on your mind lately that nobody else would understand?
  • rhomboid pain

    I had this from having my shoulders curled in while working as well as sleeping on my side. I was picking fruit which requires lots of reaching. Try to be aware of keeping your shoulders square and get a friend to jam their elbow in there and grind it out.

  • if it did work and made my family and friends proud then I could stop struggling.

    Why can't they be proud that you are happy? Why do you need them to be proud of you? It sounds like they are projecting their desires/dreams on to you. You could be honest with them and tell them you aren't happy trying to make them proud the way they want. You want them to be proud of you for being you. Or you could ghost your family and friends who sound like they want you to be someone you don't want to be.

  • Chicken genetics and probability.

    I have blue gold rooster with 3 black silver and one Blue Silver hen. Only the blue hen should be capable of ever throwing splash chicks. (splash is white with black/grey mottling) This season I have set and hatched 22 of their eggs. (100% hatch on them so far is awesome but one died from its mom stomping it ๐Ÿ˜ž) If the hens are all laying the same rate 1/4 should come from the Blue silver hen. (5.5) Yet 5 of the 22 chicks we have hatched are splash. The odds that 5 out of 5 chicks are all splash are kinda crazy. (.097%)

    A Blue rooster over a Blue hen should result in 25% black 25% splash and 50% blue. The blue/black/splash coloring comes from genes that have 2 slots and 2 types. 2 copies of BL gives a black chicken 2 copies of bl+ give you a splash and one of each gene gives you a blue chicken. Each parent contributes 1 copy of one of their genes. So a black and a splash will give you blue chicks every time.

    It is possible that I set more of the blue girls eggs but even doubling the number of her eggs (very unlikely) wouldn't make the odds reasonable.

    The chance that it is some crazy mutation is also low because the mutation would have to be in the hen and be attached to both her BL and bl+ gene and it would have to over ride the male's color gene completely.

    stuck between 2 highly unlikely realities.

  • Yes. The first one is old and a bit dry but that is just because of the budget and time it was made. the second and third really convey the "after the bomb" society and culture really well. The 2015 one owes everything good about it to the previous films.

  • Yeah I like the implication that only Kremlin propaganda is bad. Like American media isn't full of lies? Like the BBC didn't play along with "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in Iraq. Like Reuters hasn't published that they "used to" be paid and censored by MI6.

    Do you want spread holistic medicine propaganda that can lead to significant harm? sure! You want to spread alt-right propaganda? as long as it isn't Russian nationalism its fine. All that matters is that you don't listen to them damned ruskies.

    All news media is propaganda. If you want to be a reasoning human being and not a thoughtless tool you owe it to yourself to examine multiple view points and weigh them for their value.

  • As long as we get to show people they are defederating us because they are cowards and not willing to question their government approved talking points I don't care if they defederate. Their users will see that the mods are cultivating an echo chamber and will embrace that or walk. "lead a horse to water yadda yadda "

  • I could be wrong but I think sleeping is one of the least harmful coping mechanisms for stress.

  • I just crushed a brain worm.

    Trans athletes doing better after transitioning is simply due to the lack of stress that comes from not being uncomfortable in their own body.

    Like duh. I cant run as fast with a rock in my shoe or if my dog just died and Trans folk are dealing with way more than that.
