She’s adorable!

They are both fascinating and funny critters.

Both the axolotl and the 7 year old?

Why are you so mad, Bront?

This is a quality shower thought.

I took physical notes… Played completely blind and tried to figure everything out on my own. Probably not too many item descriptions though.

This is relevant to my interests…

Also can’t forget gaming companies that have turned many modern games into Skinner-boxes.

It looks so cool!

Far Side is timeless

Maybe it’s the perspective, but it looks like an adult man’s head on a kid’s body.

I’m a big XCOM fan, but I haven’t ever given this game a shot since it was so different. Will have to check it out.

(I also crossposted this to /c/XCOM)

Omg, thanks! I noticed that it had hit a million recently, and I was thinking about writing up a post to commemorate it and maybe share some thoughts about my experience posting like a madman on the fediverse for 6-7 months so far. If I do, it’ll probably be on the c/fediverse community, unless anyone can think of a more fitting one.

I’m also surprised it’s still visible! My instance upgraded to 0.19 recently, which supposedly takes away the upvote count from your profile view. I was secretly hoping to make it to one million before the upgrade happened… Lol

(Edit: also glad to hear you got into TNG!)

This is legitimately my main fitness goal. I want to keep picking up mine as long as I can.

Look at the flowing mane on that man!

At the risk of overanalyzing a tweet, this is actually generally good advice. Scanning your body to release tension is a common stress-reduction coping skill taught in therapy, and in clinical settings is often referred to as “progressive muscle relaxation”, which has been shown in many studies to reduce stress in the short-term. If you google this term, you’ll have better results.

Here’s an NIH article that covers a few things, including progressive muscle relaxation:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8272667/

It’s not intended as a permanent solution for underlying causes (e.g. doing coke or alcohol, like you said), but more of something to mildly reduce stress/anxiety in the moment.

I believe your tongue is typically supposed to be in the middle of your mouth when at rest.

That’s amazing, haha.

There’s a 3-dot options button next to “quote” that has “Text Faces”.
