i had someone tell me chiro wasnt real and wasn't doing anything for me in the same breath they told me to try cbd oil 🫢

SCREAAMMMMM I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me to just go align my chakras instead. also god I love being told by other people that it isn't Doing Anything to me. like DAMN THAT'S CRAZY... Ig when I've fucked my neck so badly that I can't turn my head to the right, and I'm able to finally get range of motion back again only after getting a chiro adjustment, that must be like a sugar pill thing or something. Or when I have a tension migraine that won't go away for days and days but dissipates after an adjustment. Or when being bedridden with back pain was a common occurrence before I started going to a chiro regularly and now I can go on walks and hikes without my lower back seizing up. Or how my carpal tunnel improved when she started loosening up my wrists. But I guess it doesn't "do anything". I must be fully imagining it. It must just be some woo-woo mind shit. I should probably just smoke some weed and that will physically heal my entire body. I should probably just drive to oklahoma city and pay some extra for a PT to tell me to do some of the exact same stretches my chiro advises me to do, and advise some of the exact same habit changes my chiro has mentioned, and to perform some of the exact same adjustments, but call them "manual therapy" instead. Oh, PTs don't do "adjustments", they simply put their hands on you and manipulate your muscles/joints to alleviate pain, loosen you up, and feel for small misalignments. Which is fucking exactly what a chiropractor does.

#able bodied people love to say that chiropractors aren't Real as if it isn't the most physically straightforward thing in the world #and is sometimes the only thing separating someone (ME) from whether or not they can even walk. #sergle.txt #''go to the Actual Doctor instead'' thanks I love muscle relaxers. that'll fix me. I'll go get addicted to pills instead #except I won't because the last doctor I went to told me I should try Praying. #I wanna wait for someone who's been sitting for awhile to stand up and stretch out their arms/neck and go AH AH!!! don't do that! #that's not real! get a prescription for pain meds instead. 'but stretching my back and cracking my neck removes the stiffness' well. #it's Not Real. sorry #sergle answers

this is just kind of a big tangent but like I fucking hate when nerd ass losers see a game with even vague similarities to another game and go "ERMMM. HOW ORIGINALL (SARCASTIC). THIS IS JUST ANOTHER GAME IN THE STUPID TREND OF-" and then they list every genre/label under the sun to try and discredit the game as unoriginal by comparing it to other games. 90% of the time they haven't even played the game they're complaining about. they just see pixel art and get angry ig.

like look at this image. look at this and tell me it's not just alphabet soup. what do half of these words even mean. congrats on discovering what a genre is I guess?????????? good for you?????? do you want a fuckin award or something???? a little handclap??? shall I pour you a little glass of wine for being oh so smart and sophisticated for figuring out that Things Can Have Little Similarities Sometimes?????? just say that 7 years later you're still bitter that undertale got popular and leave oh my god "quirky dialogue" oh I'm sorry did you want your dialogue boring and soulless yeah let me just remove the personality from the game. here's your Nothing Burger I hope you're happy. "pixel art" oh so i guess like almost every game that came out in the 80s and 90s is actually just part of a so-called "2010s-2020s trend". These people genuinely think earthbound and celeste are "Basically The Same". it's not even an rpg. You had to throw in platformers in your disgusting word smoothie because otherwise you couldn't even find any real similarities besides "has a story and contains pixels". they think the psychological horror game Omori is just Undertale 2. yeah sorry guys Super Fuckin Mario Brothers is part of the quirky rpg metroidvania fjhksdgjhlkfgsdhkfgh-like diarrhea trend. cant play it now or you're cringe and bad. do you people ever get TIIIRRREEDDDDD. DO YOU EVER ENJOY THINGS. ON THEIR OWN MERIT. DO YOU EVEN GIVE THINGS A CHANCE. YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL FOR NOT LIKING THINGS YOU'RE BORING AND ANNOYING AS FUCK. I'm so fucking done

#im not gonna even unpack the meme format it's literally just “haha fat person said the thing so it's bad and cringe” like grow the fuck up #rant #this is just the notlikeothergirls thing except it's mostly grown ass men doing it so it's seen as more acceptable somehow #like “ERMMM I DONT LIKE POPULAR GAMESSSS... IM TOO COOL FOR THAT...” no one likes you #if they played the games and decided they weren't for them that'd be one thing. I can understand that. #not everyone is going to like the same things I like and I can live with that. that's fine. #but when you look at a game you so obviously haven't even touched #and decide it's terrible based on Nothing (aka Because It's Marginally Successful/Popular) #and then try to excuse that by somehow connecting it back to every other game you don't like no matter how big of a stretch it takes #that's shitty! #just say you don't wanna play it and leave people who like it alone #you don't have to moralize your taste in media #omori #celeste #earthbound #undertale #metroid #rpg #rpgmaker #indie game #indie games #indie rpg #games #gaming #video games

my jewish friend is doing her final math project on the structure of the israeli governmental system

one of the people in our group is very staunchly and vocally pro-palestine anti-israel

we're presenting our projects next friday

i am scared.

#to be clear she's not doing the project on anything related to the war she's just modeling the parliamentary system but #the pro palestine guy ALWAYS asks questions about peoples presentations #and hes definitely a nice guy (nothing on the level of ''from the river to the sea'' at least from what he been saying in the group chat) #not a violent man in general but i am. #still not convinced he wont ask 'as an extension how does this apply to the genocide' type questions #we've talked to him about saying that stuff in the group chat but #i have no idea how to shut it down if he says anything to her ANY suggestions are welcome PLEASE #last thing i want to happen is a big ole fight during finals time ykyk bc she will feel guilty and unsafe forever #cards on the table obviously im backing my jewish friend if that happens but i think she would rather it not happen at all.. #genuinely asking for advice on shutting him down politely and nonconfrontationally if he speaks btw #ih #pers #my school is not as bad as colombia by a long stretch #but i still have had to peel 'down with israel' 'free palestine' stickers off the jewish part of the interfaith center multiple times

okay, I don't know how much sense this is going to make but its been bugging me so bear with

you know how sometimes when people in a fandom go long enough without going back and rewatching/rereading/relistening to/rewhatever, that they end up with slightly warped ideas about the characters and story that are far more based on fanon than anything in the source material. I think the same thing happens with criticisms of shows, some mild critique people had at the time becomes so pervasive and considered so all consuming that it no longer gels with the source material

what got me thinking about this was reading the tags in the @adventure-showdown tournament. a not uncommon thing I read is saying they only remember a single great moment from an episode, but they remember the other story completely, so the other story must be magnitudes better. and when someone is implying that because they only remember the gallery scene from vincent and the doctor, the surrounding episode wasn't worthwhile or even any good, I can't help but think, when was the last time you watched it? was it in 2010 when it aired, if you don't remember anything other than the scene that is regularly shared, and you're criticising based on your lack of memory alone, that just doesn't end up gelling with the episode, its not really a fair criticism

more broadly, half the criticisms I see of Moffat who are almost nonsensical to me as someone who does rewatch. (I'm not going to go into the sexism stuff, my opinions on that are far too nuanced and complicated to make a good example)

one of the most common criticisms is that it made the doctor too important, which every time I see it I can't help but wonder if the person saying it even watched in the first place. Because the thing is this is an idea the moffat era actively engages in constantly, and its not a late development at all, and the conclusion it constatly comes too is that the doctor's ego is too big, he's not as important and powerful as he, or the companions, or the audience percieve him to be.

in eleven's second episode, his plan for the star whale is wrong, it's amy who concludes the star whale won't run away and wants to help. in the series 5 finale, eleven makes a big speech to all his enemies gathered above about how they're afraid of him, and it doesn't work, it is at best a minor delay in their plan, he still ends the episode trapped in the pandorica, AND it turns out the doctor was not the excistential threat they were trying to stop, its the TARDIS, they're only imprisoning him as they (wrongly) think he's the only one capable of flying her

in series 6, in a good man goes to war, after the doctor is done parading about the place, after he's done with his massive ego trip and thinking he's won the day, it turns out he hasn't, he got amy back, but not her baby, melody is gone, and any reuniting that happens later in the series has nothing to do with him in any meaningful sense. a good man goes to war is the doctor getting cocky and it ends badly for his friends

its only more explicit in the capaldi era whre 12 regularly pushes back against people considering him anything more than a guy pottering about the universe in a box helping where he can. yes he is made president of earth, but he doesn't want that, he doesn't want authority. In fact series 10 has several of his most meaningful loses, in extremis there's nothing he can do but get a message out, in oxygen he loses his sight to save bill, in the pyramid at the end of the world the world enters a state of dystopia because bill wants to save him, in the doctor falls he loses everything, including his life, only the audience knows any differently

'moffat made the doctor too important' is not a criticism that gels when you actually watch the show, because it is something his era grapples with, is the doctor powerful, is he important to the universe, and if he is, is it a problem and who for. but the criticism isn't completely unfounded, not liking the material fact that 12 got made president of earth is fine, but 5 years removed its a criticism thats warped and changed into something unrecognisable as a criticism of the show its from, when the show says at one point, not even as subtext, that 12 is just a guy travelling around in a blue box, dropping in and helping out where he can.

anyway, this is helpful to me in that i don't like assuming people are speaking in bad faith, sometimes people do just haven't rewatched recently

#doctor who #i do have another exaple but i think i'll leave this one in the tags #when people say that moffat had the doctor meet someone as a child and then that child once they grew up fell for the doctor #4 times #which is at best disengenuous #and at worst just a lie #is it weird it happened at all #sure #but its blown out of proportion #renette yes that did happen #amy no thay kissed and it was weird and he thought it was weird #but amy hadn't fallen in love with him #and she never did #she was spiralling about marrying rory #river is a massive stretch #i don't remember the doctor ever even exchanging words with her as a child #clara is even more of a stretch #they are not in romantic love textually #maybe clara had a crush on eleven #and again i think he might have said about two words to her as a child #there is no chance she even remembers the encounter #okay done now i think

Calling the IC nepo-babies is the most hilarious thing I've ever heard because what do you have?

The High Lord, who is the product of a lesser fae woman and the magically chosen High Lord that doesn't get a say in if he's chosen by the gods to rule or not, who is also discriminated against by his own court (and the people outside it) for not being full High Fae

A bastard-born general who never knew his father and whose mother was murdered for being sexually assaulted, and was raised in a war camp for the first decade of his life

A shadowsinger who was likely also the product of sexual assault at the hands of his powerful father, who then punished Azriel for his OWN discretion by locking him in total darkness for 11 years and allowed his two older sons to torture the Azriel so severely he still carries the scars

An ancient god that spent 1000 years trapped in a prison

A woman whose only value to her family was her reproductive organs and when she no longer served that function, had a note nailed to her body before she was dumped over a foreign border where, lets be real, they expected her to be killed

And a badly neglected human girl who literally died at the altar of freeing a land that she'd been terrified of her entire life.

But like. Hell yeah. Go off, overthrow those nepo-baby rulers which DEFINITELY isn't it's own illiterate take of the reading.

#like goddamn everyday this fandom gets a little stupider #hate the IC all you want but like this is a REACH #yall are projecting #literally the only people you can make that case for are rhys and mor and like even then its a stretch given the way theyre treated #rhys is called a half breed (do we not care about fantasy racism anymore?) #and mor treated lesser for being a woman (do we not care about fantasy sexism anymor?) #anyway im in a mood #pro inner circle #pro rhysand #pro cassian #pro azriel #(words i never thought id say) #pro feyre archeron #pro morrigan

[fromtheseventhhell]

They way people always want to claim that Ned treated Arya better to make it seem like Sansa was mistreated but don't ever want to discuss the difference in how Catelyn treated Sansa and Arya is so transparent.

We get it you think that Ned "indulging" Arya (which even that was to a certain extent because he still had expectations of her) was a bad thing because you view her behavior as inappropriate and think that Catelyn reprimanding her and unfairly comparing her to Sansa to the point that she has lasting self-esteem issues was deserved.

#arya stark #asoiaf #anti sansa stans #if this was done in good faith and both were being discussed then I wouldn't have an issue #but it rarely is. Catelyn's behavior towards Jon AND Arya is always excused as her doing the logical thing #and what's more then that even though Ned's parenting is the point it's always turned into Arya bashing and her being this unruly child #who treats Sansa so horribly but also everything that Sansa does to Arya is understandable and excusable #but fuck Arya and her feelings her father should've apparently put her on a leash and forced her to confirm #Funny how Arya is younger but she's always judged harsher then Sansa and her circumstances #then the same people want to claim that Sansa is exactly like Ned as a positive and proof she'll be Queen they can't even be consistent #personally though I very much think it's a stretch to say he favored Arya and neglected Sansa

Idk why the fucken... Divide between "it was alternate universes" & "Paul is just trans" ideas for Petscop has to be torn into a cavern. Paul being trans DOES make sense, but requires you to ignore huge details that immediately make it not work. The alternate universes DO kind of make sense, but require you to extrapolate out a lot of info purposefully left unshown.

It's hard to describe what i want to say, here -- i do think Paul being trans makes sense, 'splains why he & Care "look eeriely similar," you could argue he's just thoroughly blocked out that part of his life enough to have forgotten Care entirely, etc. I like it, & i keep it as i also say "Yeah, it's that & the universes theory." It's not two switches that demand you can only flip on one of them -- you can have both. You can have neither. Do whatever

#em.txt #petscop #i think my big thing is just that. I don't think it was intended #& it is not my job as a queer person to sweep up crumbs from under the rug for proof that is not there #if a creator wished to create a trans character i would enjoy if they would say as such. but mr. petscop has not said as such #& while i love the theory. if i see one more mfer say 'this is OBVIOUSLY canon & if u say otherwise ur LYING' #or 'omg ppl gotta make up crazy theories before they believe a queer story is queer 🙄' i will bite you. #i understand you are used to no queer rep so you take these scraps of dust as truth. #but do not mock people that don't agree with the plate of nothing you're serving. #discourse #yeah i think I'm being petty enough to deserve this tag. i am sorry for being mean #paul transgender is inherently based but u r stretching as much as me #I don't think the universe theory is canon or intended. I don't think there is an answer to petscop #i think it just exists & doesn't matter what it was abf #the plot of it is chasing windmills & ending up nowhere forever & ever to waste your time & be miserable #why do we want a conclusive answer from that? the explanation of petscop is this: #idk wtf was going on here. but i sure am glad Paul got tf outta there

The problem with starting to think about the Pack more is the fact that now I want to grab Skalamander the same way I grabbed Bobo like. My house now. I want to use your character potential.

#Generator rex #genrex #Just. Ough. OUGH. #Bobo was just a bad use of his potential but Skalamander is just a nothing use of his potential. Very little character there. #But looking at his design I just. Cannot get the question out of my head of 'Is it painful?' #Is he an EVO who lives in constant pain? We see that he can't stop drooling and is blind on one 'side' of his head. #And his tongue flops around when he has his mouth open. His skin stretches and sags in awkward places #It makes me think that he probably lives a pain-filled life and has probably got a wrecked mind bc of it. And then follows VK #Someone who looks at him and says You are not broken. I have use of you. I have salvation. #And with the disability symbolism with Genrex Skalamander also looks the most chronic pain having #Though granted most EVOs with significant body changes probably have chronic pain #I just. Head in hands. Fucked up lizard. How much of his mind is actually still there. #Do you think he has good days and bad days. Bad days where he can't move or days where his mind is more of a mess than usual. #He definitely has to struggle to eat and drink. With no other mouth. #Thinking also in context of Rex Pack AU of like. Skalamander having his bad days and having people who actually care about him #Doing the best they can to help. Bringing him food and water with specially designed straws and utensils #Sitting and talking to him on days his mind isn't fully there so at least he's not alone. Giving him space if he needs it #But making sure to keep a close eye on absolutely anything he needs. #Bc they're one big disabled family and they take care of each other

[A few constellations hope that you will suffer more pain.] Dammit. I opened the channel but none of these guys were on my side. The moment I gritted my teeth and raised my body, a familiar name was heard. [The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is holding his hair while closely scrutinizing you.] …Really? [The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is looking closely at your face.] Did the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal really come?

He's here!!

Dokja realizing that maybe it isn't always bad to have someone watching him since it means he's no longer in this alone. 😭

...I feel like there's some sort of connection in there somewhere in regards to the fact that Dokja was there the entire time watching Joonghyuk's story unfold and the fact that he's now able to actually do something to help him rather than just silently watch on in despair and frustration.

#would it be stretching too far to wonder if Dokja doesn't a little bit hate the constellations for watching and not helping #because he used to ONLY be able to watch and not help? #and who knows maybe it's vice versa as well #dokja is constantly saying that he's a bad person despite doing his best to help people #and dokja specifically told jhy that he thought the constellations were bad because of this (but is now reevaluating) #also again I love that he's not just seeing them as one giant monolith of 'constellations' and just treating them as an audience #now he's starting to more see them as actual companions of a sort? #not surprising after everything they tried to do for him in the last arc in order to save him #orv novel chapter 217 #orv liveblog #orv spoilers #omniscient reader's viewpoint #orv #kdj #prisoner of the golden headband

#i wouldnt usually care about stuff like this. but every month or so i get two or three asks like this and i just got one earlier today #and look. i’m not saying u can’t hate ns or dislike them. feel free to send me asks that are like ‘ns you are stupid and you suck and i hate #you’ he IS stupid and he DOES suck and he is quite hateable. that’s fine #it’s just when you start sending me wholeass paragraphs explaining every single detail you hate about ns and how they deserve a slow and #painful death that i think two things: 1. you are finite waves reincarnated 2. you are weird! and strange even! #what are you on about! ns absolutely does NOT deserve a slow and painful death! and you absolutely do Not have to be so hostile and #aggressive towards them as a character! like Please relax. we serve bullshit here sir #most anti-ns asks i get are funny and are light hearted because it’s just people messing with ns on purpose or mocking him and making him #mad because he easily gets mad and it’s funny.

[jinxed-ninjago]

I was looking through the Ninjago wiki's page on water (the elemental power) and it mentions that Tommy Andreasen has said that Nya can't control blood because it'd make her powers too dangerous.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here like Kai almost fucking burnt Jay alive 3 episodes into Crystalized. If Jay releases enough electricity he could probably kill someone and probably could've killed Kai in that same episode Kai almost burnt him alive had the fight between Kai and Jay not been broken up. Cole could probably summon pointed enough rock to impale someone. Zane could probably flash freeze the water someone's body and kill them in the process. Lloyd can literally control energy, it's not a stretch to claim he could probably kill someone using that ability.

But hemokinesis/blood manipulation is too powerful??

#ninjago #lego ninjago #look i know tommy is just trying to keep nyas powers...not graphic for lack of a better term #but my guy the other ninja could literally kill people with THEIR powers too #is nya being able to control/manipulate the blood in someones body REALLY that much of a stretch #or even that bad compared to what lloyd could probably do #all im saying is its weird to say nya having the ability to control blood makes her too dangerous #when most of her teammates likely have to be incredibly careful so they dont end each other with their powers #JAY TEMPORARILY/BRIEFLY KNOCKED OUT KAI AND COLE AFTER SHOCKING THEM WITH 10000 VOLTS IN CRYSTALIZED #it makes no sense to say nya cant control blood because itd make her too dangerous #anyway

“i hate children but—“ is honestly such an annoying fucking way to start a sentence . even if it’s saying that you’re still kind to them etc etc it’s still so weird to me that people constantly have to express their hatred for a group of people that have no control over being “annoying” or whatever makes people “HATE” them. like that is just such an unnecessarily strong word to use against the most helpless people among us imo. you can dislike children you can think they’re a bit much sometimes you can not want to be around them bc they stress you out . its good for people to know their limits so they’re not in situations where their stress would harm children !!but to say you hate them is so??? like obnoxious to me idk. also maybe it’s just bc i was an observant kid and am around observant kids but i feel like if you profess that you hate children constantly but “act nice” around they probably feel that hate . bc children know when they’re not wanted and guess what . it fucks them up like why would you add to that even minutely. maybe work on not hating vulnerable small beings instead of being so proud of it . it’s just unnecessary and annoying to me like okay . good for you ig

#this is kinda words recreationally like i don’t necessarily think it’s That Serious all the time #but i do think that little things add up #and the fact that it’s so acceptable to profess HATRED for an entire vulnerable group of people #is part (even if it’s a tiny part) of the large scale disrespect aduse and disenfranchisement of children #basically i think it’s over dramatic to say at best and actively harmful at worst #but idk #i just hate when there’s a post like about x topic . and so many people have to add on their little caveats and adjustments . like who care #s #that’s not really the point and the fact that you can’t see a post about literally just being nice to children without being like #me personally i HATE THEM is so 😭😭 #maybe have a little kid come up and hug you and show you a picture they drew for you and maybe you’ll chill a little…. #speaking as somebody who doesn’t want children and knows my limits and sets clear boundaries with the children in my life to avoid them #being negatively affected by any stress/overstimulation i feel #it’s weird TO ME how often this seems to be stretched to generalized hatred

It’s wild how so many people are fundamentally incapable of recognizing queer characters unless they explicitly say the words, “I’m gay” on screen

#like season 1 and 2? sure maybe you can overlook Will’s queercoding and believe it’s just a result of the bully’s homophobia #season 3 is a huge stretch but it’s hypothetically possible to believe will is just a late-bloomer or asexual #but how on earth do you watch season 4 and still genuinely have no idea will is gay? #and this is not a rare occurrence #it’s astonishing how many people you have to literally explain the van scene to cause Will’s sexuality never crossed their mind #you didn’t see him staring longingly at his best friend the entire season? #some people’s minds are so aggressively heteronormative that they assumed will had a crush on el #and even after noah has explained that will is gay 50 million times #people still are confused and think it came out of nowhere or they quickly forget #somewhere there’s a fan who doesn’t keep up with stranger things news and doesn’t really use social media #a fan who is the exact opposite of chronically online #who hasn’t heard about NOAH coming out let alone Will’s sexuality #who will walk into season 5 and be utterly flabbergasted when Will comes out as gay (let alone when Byler happens) #and they’ll say that Will being gay is a huge plot twist they never saw coming #and they’ll be 100% sincere #and that’s truly baffling to me #do people think shows just randomly include melodramatic rain fights where ‘it’s not my fault you don’t like girls’ is said for no reason? #do people think the show went out of its way to show wills rejecting the attractive girl in his class cause they were in a silly goofy mood? #I genuinely wanna know what goes on through people’s heads when they have no gaydar or media literacy #even today there are people who still think romantic stobin should happen and think that Robin isn’t really a lesbian #will byers #byler
