  • We were always told to pull our toes up for calf cramps and it does work really well. It's just that doing it can feel quite painful at first until the relief comes.

  • Societal Fears

    Jump

  • It started in the 80s but I think it's heyday was the 90s. I remember reading things in the 90s in the tabloids my nan bought that haunted me for ages afterwards. The pain I could have saved if I'd know it was all bullshit.

  • Since this comic is about societal fears, there was also the Satanic Panic

  • Stay strong, fellas 💪🏻

  • I hate it when that happens

  • Also, why are 5 nouns and the 6th is an adjective (or past tense of a verb)? I hate that DEDICATED is there more than ASSASSIN. Also, word art is naff.

  • Podcasts

    Jump

  • Off Menu. James Acaster and Ed Gamble have a guest in to discuss their dream menu. I started listening to guests I know and like at first, but then I listened to them all. Some of the guests I didn't know turned out to be brilliant anyway.

  • The radiator hammock was his favourite present

  • It's from above and he has an ottoman pushed underneath with cushions on. The hammock is suspended but he was a bit unsure at first so it helped him to get up.

  • Elon Musk urges King Charles to dissolve Parliament—What can UK monarch do?

    Jump

  • Can we get this man some help. Not saying he's not an absolute wanker - that's a given - but isn't anyone close to him concerned about his mental health?

    He's fallen out with the leader of the far-right Reform UK now, because, apparently that frog-faced fuck Farage does have a line in the sand (at least for appearances' sake), and isn't comfortable with Musk's support for fascist thug "Tommy Robinson".

    Hopefully this means no donation (bribe) to Reform UK, but I'm sure that piece of shit will continue to try and fuck with our democracy.

  • Posture is important

  • I know right? Really annoying.

  • Posture is important

  • Ha sorry, I realise I missed out pertinent information! They have it set to auto-rotate and I can't turn it off.

  • Posture is important

    Jump

  • My work laptop/ tablet thingy doesn't give me permission to control rotation, otherwise I would be doing this. Chronic pain and fatigue means I sometimes just need to lie down during work. Luckily I can use speech to text.

  • In a message directly to them, and referencing having come out as gay, he said: “I know it’s not easy being a trans kid in our country today, the trans community is at the wrong end of all of the statistics for mental ill health, self-harm and suicide."

    I just wanted to quote this bit of the article, as I feel this is often used in bad faith arguments such as: "I don't hate trans people, I just want to protect them from the bad outcomes that come with being trans."

    Do these people ever stop to think that it may be the way that trans people are treated, talked about, and denied essential medical care that contributes to poor mental health outcomes? Maybe if we didn't treat people shittily, they wouldn't feel shit.

  • Poll reveals the amount of Brits who would take weight-loss jabs for free on NHS

    Jump

  • I'm just speaking for myself here, so not saying this is true for everyone or even many people, but the cost of the gym isn't the biggest barrier for me.

    I like what you say about expanding availability - there isn't a gym within (reasonable) walking distance of me. I think facilities being in communities makes a difference.

    However, one of the biggest barriers to me is childcare. Somewhere where I could take them to do their own activities while I worked out would make it far more likely that I use it, and I suspect this is the case for others. My partner works long, unpredictable hours, so I can't sign up for the weekly classes (that I did before having children) as I don't know that he'll be around to look after them.

    I also have chronic health issues, which don't prevent me exercising all the time, but there are days where I cannot leave my bed because of migraine, so again, committing to something regular is difficult. (Again, persoal to me, but I'm not alone in having a chronic condition.)

    I tend to walk everywhere I can as accessing formal exercise has too many barriers for me, so I do have an acceptable level of fitness, but I miss doing classes as I found these really motivating.

    Sorry for the long reply - I don't disagree that price and access are issues, but there are more besides that I think need to be addressed. Stress and available time being factors in additional to the others I mentioned.

    I also think there are issues with the weight loss drugs besides cost, one of those being the need to stay on them longterm. That's not even getting into using weight as the sole metric of health.

  • You might enjoy the podcast Maintenance Phase if you don't already know it. They have a Dr Oz episode and Oprah has a few of her own too.
