Influencers. And more broadly, almost anything to do with marketing.

People need to get the fuck off twitter.

I'm personally a fan of "it's not rocket appliances"

The weirdest one I used to hear often was "for all intensive purposes," like wtf is an intensive purpose?

Sooo high urgency with zero consequence for missing targets?

That most likely is due to you being fixated on your thumb. We can and do consistently wire our nervous systems, and in this case you've probably wired yours to produce a pain sensation in your thumb.

In a nutshell, this is how chronic pain works. There most likely is nothing physically wrong with your thumb.

Probably that's a combination of placebo and the result of the fact that collagen is a protein supplement. You can most likely get the same result by using whey or other proteins for much lower cost.

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?
