    I’ve figured out how to stop the migraines. I feel so fucking stupid lol

    It’s my posture. For some reason, unless I have good posture, especially when sitting down, my right shoulder hikes up a lot, which starts the chain reaction.

    Sigh. I lost friends because they couldn’t understand how a “headache” could be that crippling.

      Posture. It’s important. Deportment they used to call it. The school I went to taught it - as a preventative measure for all sorts of health problems particularly for girls but I guess the same would apply for blokes. I’m still feeling the benefit of it even now in my advanced age.

      Maybe consider doing Alexander technique or something to help you get into good posture habits. My personal opinion of yoga is not as positive as many people. Fine if you’re young and healthy, but if you’ve already got a physical problem then you need something that focusses on correcting that problem imo. I am a fan of Alexander technique for fixing pre-existing problems but a good pilates teacher could probably do likewise and be much cheaper. And there are zillions of them around everywhere, hiding in every shopping strip with vacant or hard to rent shopfronts.

        Thank you! Will look it up and give it a go.

        I had perfect posture circa 2020 but then lockdown killed my fitness stuff for a while.

    Doing a little DIY project (currently at the what-have-I-done panic stage) and noticed the little pack of sandpaper I have from a “variety” shop is priced at $1.50. Must have bought it in the 80s for it to have been that price.

    Got the headphones in the office now and they’ve been great. I can leave them plugged in to work straight with the laptop or have them connected to the laptop and my phone wirelessly. I’m going to get some cheap plastic cables so I don’t feel it rubbing against my shirt, the only downside to wires

      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        There seems to be no pure wired USB C headphones. You need to get Bluetooth headphones that can also do audio over USB. These ones don’t have a headphone jack though, that’s the only thing they’re missing

    My aunt thinks that keto will help me feel less anxious. Hmmmm, where is the science behind that

    source
    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      The only physical effect I can think of that might be relevant is that sticking to such an extreme diet occupies all available brainspace, leaving no room for anxiety. But you’d pay a heavy price for not doing anything other than watch your diet and stress out over whether something was or was not keto. As with any extreme diet, you really have to make sure you’re getting all your dietary needs met, and extreme diets really really limit your options. And they all have a built-in guilt for failure stress included.

      I have a feeling that taking this option really isn’t wise, but you do you. If you wanted to try it for a while to see if it helped, well why not. But I also wouldn’t beat myself up if it turned out not to be helpful.

      And then you can say to aunt, well I tried it and it didn’t work for me. Which might shut her up.

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Yeah I think in this case, the costs will outweigh the benefits.

        It doesn’t really work for her either because she’s keto one month, and then the next, she isn’t.

      I think her controlling your diet will make her feel less anxious.

    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Family/friends telling you how you should eat is not okay to me, it can lead to EDs.

      It might be better to determine what is causing the anxiety - whether it’s stressors, trauma, fear of the future or past etc. before going down the diet route.

      You don’t want to put undue stress on your body by going on a specific diet that isn’t suited to you.

      If you do commit to a certain diet or nutritional change, ensure that you are getting all the vitamins and minerals you need as well. Vitamin/mineral deficiencies can lead to very adverse affects, as well as too much of certain vitamins (see that news article about B6 overdoses www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-08/…/104793006).

      I’ve personally been on keto on multiple occasions and definitely noticed improved mental health, including reducing anxiety.

    I watched Judgement in Nuremberg for the tenth time last night.

    Every single scene is genius.

    Last night I took particular note of the opening argument of the prosecution , what a brilliant mind and writer . Makes the crime and guilt clear www.youtube.com/watch?v=di3Xh95aXp8

    life in Germany, how people fooled themselves into support of evil www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui6xrGQzmhs

    Started season 3 of Invincible last night, only got up to episode episode 3 but maaaaan. That show can get under my skin unlike anything else.

    spoiler

    There’s a fight where someone should probably die. the “hero” is in the wrong, the “villain” is too but someone crosses a line and I’m just sitting there totally enthralled muttering “Kill them. Kill them now”.

      I think they set it up nicely in EP2 with the Cecil backstory.

      It’s a bit on the nose, but good at showing Mark’s conflict on being a hero and always doing the ‘correct’ thing.

      Am so looking forward to this season

        The fucked up thing is Mark is in the wrong and Cecil is in the right, but Cecil handled it so so poorly. he just HAS to be in control. You telling me the dude has no training on how to disarm a situation like that? At no point did he just sit down and say “Mark, let me explain everything to you. You may not agree with me. I dont expect you to, but my job is to protect the planet. What happens when the Viltrumites come back? Morals dont mean shit if the planet is destroyed.”

    Omg am i the asshole??? There’s this person who lived in the assisted living building next door, I think he has cerebral palsy, and is confined to a giant motor wheelchair.

    Every night around 11pm, his friend? Brother? Idk comes and they sit in the alley, and I can just hear them echoing up. It’s driving me insane! Like, I’m happy he’s happy, but holy fuck WHY SO FUCKING LATE

    I feel like I can’t say anything because he’s disabled and maybe that’s the only time his friend/brother can see him, but why God whyyyyyyyy

    Is anybody playing Last War? It’s fun, but driving me nuts. For one the obscene in game purchase prices (not a hope guys!!) but mostly because everything is so damn small. I’m blindly clicking on things because the instructions are microscopic. Must be intended for a pad not a phone.
