I feel like most fitness advice is given with neurotypical people in mind. The "get off your ass and go to the gym" approach doesnt work when i dont fucking want to get out of bed.

Really, on those days, the best one can do is take care and try not to compound guilt. try to be kind to oneself

i remember as a kid reading this in our collection of calvin and hobbes compendiums thinking like "man, the dad really doesnt get it" and then reading it maybe 10 years ago and my thought being "wow bill watterson was so good at this." now im back to "man, the dad really doesn't get it"

This here’s a man of the people.

Former Cubs pitcher Lee Smith on why he always walked so slowly out of the bullpen when he was called - he heard the grounds crew got time and a half of the game stretched past 4:30 pm.

Cathy Engelbert's salary isn't public (as far as I could find), but I did my best to estimate and came up with a number that — unsurprisingly — is pretty out of whack with the ration between commissioner and player salaries in other leagues.

Cathy Engelbert's salary compared to the average WNBA player

Salaries are one of the biggest sticking points in contentious labor negotiations as the WNBA CBA is set to expire. How does Cathy Engelbert's salary compare?

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

I'm really going to need these socialist countries to stop advertising "successes" before we come to fix them. It just makes the idea of eventually enforcing freedom more difficult.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Now! Citizens will be able to trade in books, magazines, and personal mementos for PAInts. Which are AI Points. They didn't want to call it AI Points, so they called it PAInts.

Is that confusing to you? Then you're the problem.

Trade in the written word for OpenAI, Gemini, and CoPilot credits! Go!

okay. now that you lay that all out, it appears we were operating under the same subset of knowledge in the first place. maybe you were trying to express that and it just went over my head.

well this was nice :)
