And now it’s playing on a loop in my head. I’m not even mad about it.

Take the time to rest that group of muscles. Focus on lower body or other exercises that don’t cause you pain or discomfort. The easiest way to have a chronic issue is by not letting it heal. You can always do light weight or body weight only once it starts to feel better to check on progress.

Its better to take a week off than do long term damage. I can’t say what the issue is vecause I am not a Doctor and I’m not there in person, so take it with a grain of salt. You know your body and should make the call thats right for you.

Isn’t that the new dog-whistle term being used to disenfranchise younger voters and muddy the waters for democratic or liberal leaning politicians?

No offense, but that really isn’t a great way to show you’re a critical thinker.

If you are visiting YT on mobile, ReVanced has been working perfectly for me on Android. I’m not sure if there is cross-platform support, but there are alternatives to traditional adblockers out there.

It looks like some of the kits have an attic insulation shield included in them. They seem to be included for chimneys being run through a roof/ceiling. Is that possibly it?

Why do you such a strong stance against pitbulls? It sounds like the poster above may already be someone who has cared for/is caring for that specific breed of dog. If they are comfortable with it and are good owners, why would it matter?

I highly recommend looking into Spiderweb Software games. They’ve been pumping out top down turn based tactics rpgs for years now. I am not sure of the viability on Linux, but I’m sure there is a workaround if anything.

The Avernum series in particular is great if you’re into detailed character building, exploring, and high difficulty optional quests/bosses!

That is definitely one of the issues with any social platform or outlet. There is always the push to form in and out groups based on unifying characteristics, behaviors, social status, etc. I do think a major thing that is missed is calling out behaviors and beliefs that are not supported by facts; e.g. giving the same weight of truth or spotlight to outlandish conspiracy theories vs. scientifically backed data (climate change is a good example)

Hopefully this place can find a happy medium that invites good faith discussion instead of bad faith actors.

Its always difficult separating held beliefs from personal or social identity. Evidence for or against something is rarely enough to get someone who has an identity tied to a belief to change thier opinions or not react out of a fight or flight response.

I think setting and enforcing boundaries regularly while not ostracizing or demonizing people is a better way to approach it. Its hard, takes time, and isn’t guaranteed to work; but it comes from a place of tolerance and acceptance rather than condemnation.

I agree wholeheartedly that letting rants go on unchallenged is a big issue, it provides a rallying point for others with similar beliefs and pushes the boundary back away from accountability and discussion and towards emotional and fear based outbursts. Do you think there is room for healthy discussion here on the fediverse and specifically in this instance?
