Stretch against whatever muscle is cramping. It’s counter intuitive and sounds like it would hurt like hell. Instant relief.

2·1 hour agoGuerilla action is tough now that cameras are everywhere. Drones are a thing though!
2·1 hour agoAny Chinese name beginning with X. Took me awhile to figure out Nuyen as well.
1·2 hours agoI make my own black powder for shooting.
2 KNO3 + S + 3 C
Stump remover, sulfur, charcoal. Few bucks to make a kilo.
1·3 hours agoYes, they were stand-ins for a fictional Eastern European/Russian country.
Reading it made me feel he wrote it specifically to be made into a movie.
11·20 hours agoI think chatbots could be very useful in certain mental health scenarios, limited in scope. Problem being, the very people who use them for mental health are by definition not capable of imposing that scope.
Say you’re addicted to $drug.
“Bot, I need help with $drug addiction.”
Fair start.
“Bot, is it OK to do $drug?”
Bad start.
“Bot, tell me why I should keep doing $drug.”
Aw hell no.
Stories like these highlight the need some have just to talk to someone who will listen. Many have no need of a mental health professional, they just need a non-judgemental ear.
1·21 hours agoLOL WUT!? Never been anywhere that redneck and I live in the panhandle. Wonders never cease.
Reading how Rocky eats in Project Hail Mary got me thinking on that! I wonder if aliens would find our eating disgusting or if it’s the most common way to get energy. Pretty much every life form on Earth chews food with their face then shoves it down.
You now know how to instantly relieve a leg cramp, right?
Mine does, redneck town, but it’s all hunting style rifles and shotguns, nothing tacticool. I won’t buy from big corpo, too big a pain. I just use guns.com for the most part.
What?! I’ve lived in gun happy states almost my whole life and have never seen guns sold in grocery stores. Walmart might be considered weird, but everywhere else is a sports store and a dedicated gun shop.
It can be habit forming. Hope this changes someone’s life, it did mine.
Same! Got a wicked pair of boots and a new vest from the thrift yesterday. Cut my hair in the mirror, got decked out and my wife’s eye popped. Even my 12-yo was looking at me, uh, funny. Don’t think she knew daddy could dress like that! (She lives with her mom far away. Mostly sees me dressed up in “hiking with a shotgun” chic, not “metrosexual” chic.)
Anyway, I dress up for silly things just because it makes me feel good. Hell, I’ll use any excuse to wear one of my tuxes.
Off to see Superman in that same outfit!
Holy shit! Not only is that real, I now know what was in my garden last month!
6·2 days agoMy great grandparents were school teachers in West Virginia round about this time, both born in 1898. Still remember a pic of grandad with his all-male students. He had a rough suit and tie, very dignified. The boys were all barefoot.
Yes, injustice is rampant. Ever seen a “White’s Only” sign? I have. I’ve seen black families living in Louisiana shacks I wouldn’t house my pig in. Young people can’t imagine what it was like being gay in the 80s. Ever heard the term f** bashing? It was a perfectly acceptable sport. Yes, a sport. Had an informative chat with a very pretty trans lady today at the pet store. I so wanted to give her the pin off my purse. Wasn’t sure if that would be insulting, and also, I wasn’t 100% sure she was born male. Who knows?
Yes, the wealth gap is astonishing and the cause of most of our ills. We had pharaohs and kings back in the day, yet neither Musk nor Bezos can order your summary execution. We live like monarchs compared to our forefathers.
Bill Gates was quoted saying, “When I walk into a grocery store and look at all the products you can choose, I say, ‘My God!’ No king ever had anything like I have in my grocery store today.” I spent $256 at Aldi today. A new record! And my family of four will indeed eat like kings for the next three weeks, 4 pounds of shrimp included. Imagine that!
Yes, the West, particularly America, is on a steep fall towards fascism. Hell, it’s here already. Now Germany is the economic engine of Europe, and Japan is the world’s 5th largest economy, just shy of India. With a lot fewer people!
Yes, this has all happened before. Your great and grand parents lived it. And here you are commenting on lemmy!
― Kurt Vonnegut Jr., A Man Without a Country
BTW, I’d advise y’all to read some Vonnegut. It’s freaky how all his experiences, fears and predictions came true. A second time in some cases! Weird. Reading his work is like becoming unstuck in time.
Touch grass and listen to the birds.

Taxing medicine and food is fucking obscene. At least Florida gets that much right.
6·2 days agoThey cost $2,000 (in 2025 $) when they released in 1982. Sounds like a deal to me!
Stretch against the cramped muscle, push hard, cramp dissolves instantly. Weight lifter taught me that 30 years ago, figured everyone knew!
