If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.

Anyone who has alleviated their back pain loves to prescribe their solution for everyone else with back pain:

Do these exercises I learned from an occupational therapist or physical therapist or physiotherapist
Just lift weights and get stronger
Do yoga
Stretch more
Get a standing desk and improve your posture
Get a better pillow/mattress
Get regular massages
No not that kind, get these kinds of massages
Acupuncture or dry needling
Cryotherapy
Certain types of medication
Certain types of injections
Certain types of surgery

And the reality is that all of these are potential solutions, and some of them are just good to do anyway, but anyone who has had chronic back pain has probably gotten sick of hearing it.

And I get it. I used to be that guy who advocates for heavy deadlifts and posture exercises and standing desks. And I still know that works for me. But these days, I at least have a bit more humility about the universal applicability of these solutions.

See also people who have gotten out of poverty (or gone from middle class to rich) giving financial advice, people in good relationships giving advice to their single friends, etc.

I wish it didn't seem so boring. Do people Netflix and Yoga?

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Audiobook and Yoga.

Or even the news.

I use @Voice to read literally anything. Websites, epubs etc.

Even paid premium for it. One time ownership with updates.

Try smoking some weed and doing yoga lol. Just make sure you know what kinda class you’re getting into first. You want something relaxing, not hot yoga. Unless you’re into hot yoga.

That brings me to my more serious point. There are many different styles of yoga. I think a lot of it is finding a style/instructor you vibe with.
