The efficacy of taking collagen specifically is very much in question. It seems to be about as effective (but much more expensive) than just increasing protein consumption.

There are things you can do, like apply heat and to an extent certain supplements can help (glucosamine and turmeric are the notable ones that have evidence to support them). That said the main thing that really helps is doing dedicated and systematic strength and mobily training for your ankle.

Follow up question: how do you feel about the thought of not wearing makeup?

So ban them too

Pretty hopeful news actually.

MTG is among the most seemingly dedicated to being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit, and yet even she is recognizing that a platform of being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit is no longer serving her.

Fuck her forever. But I'll take this specific brand of opportunism as a positive sign.

I have a hard time accepting that everyone should have their own vehicle in the first place.

As a lifelong celcius user I have a very intuitive sense of how 23 degrees celcius feels. I have no intuitive sense of how 50 degrees Fahrenheit feels.

If you're used to a system then it's intuitive.

Yes. And also the explanation for why they're worsening is not exclusively because of fossil fuels/climate change. That is a factor, but others include terrible forestry practices (including, somewhat paradoxically, fire mitigation and fighting).

Not trying to let oil and gas companies off the hook. It's just an issue that has a lot of shared blame between different industries.

What about Hitachi?

Yeah I mean I'm not surprised that this business is failing. It always just seemed like a worse and more expensive version of something that was always inherently pretty boring.

That's a good point. It's just kinda funny because my reaction to it is basically "wow. maybe he actually used to be a real human."

I think probably this just illustrates that he's not genuine. That said I like your reflection that past behaviour should not be used as evidence against who a person is currently. That's probably a good baseline, even if the past evidence could actually be viewed in a positive light.

Anyways. Thanks for the thoughtful exchange.

I basically agree with you, but the subtext is a little different.

I don't think this photo is damning in any way. It looks like some kids having fun in a pretty typical way. It's pretty normal for kids to "joke," and play around with gender. But this dude had some fun as a teen and now he's trying his damnedest to ensure no one ever gets to express themselves in a way that is incongruous with their agab. It's worth pointing out that that's shitty for some specific reasons.

So before I knew shit about the fediverse I was trying to find and instance and I thought "oh neat I'm a leftist," and created an account on hexbear. I was not prepared at all for that. I didn't know what a tankie was and I was just legit confused for a minute.
