Like the other response said, some light exercise before bed is generally good for sleep. If you feel it’s waking you up, your brain might already be in go-mode. Do you limit blue light or anything before bed?
If you still feel before bed is no good, or don’t have the time or whatever, literally anything is better than nothing.

Alicization is fantastic and I recommend picking it up! SAO showed it can still tell a story

To piggyback on another comment. Massage. I’m a massage therapist who sees clients with disk issues all the time.
99% of the time it’s because of shortened hip flexors (your psoas attached to your bottom vertebrae and as it shortens, is too tight to let your spine stretch which then just crushes your disks) due to both extended time in a seated position as well as a weak core. Stretch, get a massage, find a PT to help with chronic back pain. Start doing crunches before bed.
Also drink more water. Only kinda related but basically everyone should be drinking more water.

But they’re a doctor. They get the title Dr from being a doctor and not a chiro. Chiros are allowed to call themselves doctors in many places for some damn reason.

I think that’s still small talk either way tho? The fact that you launch into some part of your day doesn’t change that it’s gauging your mood on her end. You could just as easily answered: “Snoozefest, how about your day?” or “Nightmarish headache from start to end, hold me”. See how these are all logical answers that would (I hope) evoke a different response from your partner?
- Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 3 days ago:
Duh, because it’s the NY Post. They are trash. That’s why most comments have even been prefacing statements about the defendant talking about how shitty the Post is.
- Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 3 days ago:
Yea, as awful as the NY Post is for framing it this way, this ain’t about them being trans. She bought a knife, wanted to stab someone, picked a fight and continually escalated (she fucking spat on him, sorry but bodily fluids are an assault and the dude had every right to treat it as being hit) until she pulled a knife in an encounter she started.
Got hit three times before pulling a knife? Just cuz she was too fucking slow to stab him after the first hit like she wanted to.
Can’t believe there’s people defending this.

There are plenty of games that aren’t $90 and are actually worth the values they charge. Not everything is priced like a AAA dev pushing their yearly slop of their main franchise.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 days ago:
Is or is not talking about how your days went considered small talk? I literally don’t know now. I’d say it’s small talk.
Small talk is a way to gauge someone’s mood before going for the bigger discussions

Yea, the evolution of vascularity in plants let them get off the ground in the first place (meaning being taller than a few inches). Vascularity is the first big jump plants made after leaving the water. From there, being taller means outcompeting your neighbors and spreading your babies further. When you have that double whammy of more food + more babies, you get a selective pressure for taller that never really goes away. This is why multiple families have species that have arborized and have continuously done so over their evolutionary history. If the niche is empty, something will jump into it, often sooner rather than later (on a deep time scale) which is basically the whole idea of convergent evolution as a whole.

Kinda! But the shell isn’t what the carcinization memes are referring to. I’d say the biggest part of carcinization is the loss of crustacean tails. Basically every false crab is in the process of losing their tail in favor of a rounder body plan
- Comment on On trees... 6 days ago:
I wasn’t being specific enough. Cell walls in plants are composed of cellulose, henicellulose, and lignin. Lignin IS one of the structural polymers that plants produce, and yea, every single vascular plant has and uses lignin to provide structure. Iirc its a polymer produced by every plant, including mosses and other nonvascular plants, it’s just not used to the same extent.

Animals are members of kingdom Animalia. One of the unify features of this kingdom is multicellularity. Slime molds are members of the mostly-single-celled protists and they themselves are some of the most complex single celled organisms. Sponges, being very basal animals, are one of the phyla that retains a high degree of regenerative ability that simplicity facilitates.

Except clubmoss isn’t moss iirc? They’re vascular and more of a fern than moss.
- Comment on On trees... 1 week ago:
As far as they are all vascular plants, but that’s like, basically everything that isn’t moss iirc.
The evolution of wood is common because it’s simple for cellulose to get denser in response to a need to grow taller to outcompete your neighbors.

All the comments here jumping to talk about how wrong this is, I gotta ask: haven’t you seen a bad movie?
Art films or blockbusters (or rather, attempts at blockbusters), plenty of movies just suck. Many bad movies will have endless amounts of people trying to change the narrative with the words on the right column.
- Comment on Listen and 2 weeks ago:
Or maybe all art house films get described this way when, like any other art form, plenty of them just suck.
Sometimes a movie just sucks and won’t accept that it sucks.

Yea, needs a new upswing at 70 for “living alone” like, it’s potentially sad, but just being able to live on your own gets more impressive the older someone is

I see, understandable. This was also a Baldur’s Gate 3 joke because a character named Auntie Ethel makes multiple threats, including sucking the marrow from your bones and pulling your spine out your arsehole.

Do y’all not have separate endodontists that do root canals only? That’s the norm here that dentists refer out for specialty work like oral surgery and root canals.
- Comment on doctors 3 weeks ago:
Depends on how it “wasn’t done right”. If they didn’t clean it out properly and there’s still decay? Losing that tooth when it hurts again. Gap in the cement for the crown? New crown. And so on.

Will you also be pulling out their spine through their arsehole?

To be more specific than mobile apps, sports betting apps are so insanely predatory
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 3 weeks ago:
And it’s not even like Internet trends are a new thing. TikTok has simply offered a platform that’s extra predatory about it.
I can imagine that TikTok has been for Internet trends, to what slot machines did for gambling.
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 3 weeks ago:
Also worth noting that getting a live service game with enough infrastructure going to immediately make them millions is a significant startup cost on its own. picking the best project of them and then putting it in its own studio seems like a very smart way to do it.

From clinic to clinic might be different but even just a basic screening at Planned Parenthood tests for like 8 different things so no, pretty thorough is saying exactly enough and you’re just being stubborn.
You give the exact “it’s just a little herpes” vibes that you mention elsewhere. Why else would you fight everyone so hard when EVERYONE is telling you it’s very easy to get tested for the whole host of most common STIs on the regular?
- Comment on sus 4 weeks ago:
Usually the screenings are pretty thorough. I’ve gotten one at least once a year (usually 6 months) for as long as I’ve been an adult.
