Truth, I actually didn't recognize him in the regular photos that popped up looking for this meme.

I nearly pulled my arm out of the socket when I was in my late 30's hurt so damn bad that I didn't want to bend it certain ways. Stayed like that for about 2 months until I saw my doctor and he told me I was babying it too much and I should do certain exercises.

Hurt like a motherfucker to do the exercises each time. After about 1-week it was immensely better, exercising it every morning than at night.

After about a month I forgot it hurt unless I stretched it back really far to put on a jacket or reach behind me. Worked on that for about 4 months and finally it stopped hurting altogether.

Moral of the story, something's just break. But typically if it's meat you got to work on it.

My folks never did exercises their doctor told them to do after hip surgery or other trauma. Eventually they got so weak they could barely stand because they'd just lay in bed for days to "heal". That will bite you in ass much harder if you don't move. Keep pushing yourself, it takes a long time but it will get better, not worse.

This is a screenshot from Pom Poko (1994) Studio Ghibli. They were cool with this for kids.

I think some countries are just less prudish. Personally I let my kids watch it, better than seeing someone getting gutted or shot.

Nintendo probably started cracking down harder as they grew because of backlash from parents across the globe. Have to meet everyone's expectations.

Thousands could be coerced into "unpaid labor" in Louisiana under new bill | HB 211 would make sleeping outdoors in public illegal and force unhoused people to "choose" between prisons and workhouses

Sure, I work with printers and suppliers a lot. A vast majority of what they do requires "temp workers" usually low paid people or even disabled adults with down syndrome to do a part of the process that would be much more costly to retool a machine to do or too expensive to build something that does it. Like folding and filling perfume boxes of various sizes, shapes.

Also the same kind of labor was used to pack over a million bags of various items because making a machine grab or move a changing inventory is just too expensive and having a machine that does one thing than never do it again is wasteful.

Really it's a balance between what costs more people or designing and/or resetting a machine for the job. A lot of times bringing in a group of low-paid people for a few months is much much less than a machine. People have more flexible parts.

Dickbutt has embedded itself into my mind. One day when dementia takes hold of my elderly mind, all I will recall is my wife, my children, and dickbutt.

I feel like we are moving towards a sci-fi story where AI enslaves humanity. But instead their is an elite class of trillionares and politicians above the AI.

AI does the thinking for free. Unpaid slaves do the physical work that machines can't do or costs too much to do. All that equals 100% profit and control.

Conically yokai Tanuki have big stretchy ball sacs they use for various things, like fighting, playing drums, flying...

In real life Japanese goldsmiths used to use Tanuki scrotums to help pound gold into very thin gold leaf, place the gold under the skin as a buffer well they hammer it flat. They favored tanuki scrots because they were very tough and malleable, they could take a pounding better than any other animal skins. Why you get the big balls folklore and belief that tanuki bring prosperity and wealth. I looked this all up one day because I bought a couple tanuki statues from an estate sale that I kept on my porch for awhile and wondered why the nuts were so big.

Anyway, yeah she probably wants those nuts.

Have you seen housing and car prices? It's only getting harder for the c-suite to afford new mansions and fancy cars each year. To make matters worse, they have to give the workers just enough to stay in their studio apartments and get bus fare in the shitty part of town.
