last night my 4 year old pointed to the top sides of my widows peak and asked "why do you shave up here and a little bit on the top?"

Twenty+ years of mouse clicking now has me with some carpal tunnel or ulnar nerve issues. Yay. And this just happened out of nowhere.
- I did everything to avoid carpal and what did I get? Lipoma. There is no way to win. I exercise 3 times a week and now have 2 varicose veins ..coldarchon
- Years ago, I had severe pain in my back, neck and wrists... I changed my posture, bought a tall desk and that's where all the problems endedOBBTKN
- Switch the left/right mouse mapping too. I now click with middle finger... my index is fucked.shapesalad
- Try a vertical mouse https://fulfillman-c…pablo28
- Posture awareness, a good mouse (that one Logitech), and a kitchen timer on the desk. CDN TM8. Set intervals to remind yourself to take a break..garbage
- ..and roll through your wrist and hand stretches. About a decade ago had such bad carpal that I couldn't even sleep at night.garbage
- Don't even notice it now, and thank fuck I didn't go down the surgery route. There are too many cases of the procedure making it worse. YMMV.garbage
- Me too. I'm now alternating between wacom & vertical mouse and it seems to be helpingletterhead
- It didn't happen out of nowhere. It happened over twenty+ years.jagara
- I've heard that Wacom users don't get issues like this. It's such a hard habit to get into. I don't think I'd ever be able to stick with it.CyBrainX

Instead of paying an exorbitant amount of money on concert tickets I've started to prefer to staying at home and watching live youtube clips of their recent shows. I don't have to deal with parking, crowds, bathroom lines, $14 beers and I get to skip the "here's a new song" parts.
- Doing this bullshit "This song is called ___" is so fucking anti-climatic, it should be illegal to say during a concert and fined heavily.crazyprick

I jumped a fence to save roughly 2 minutes of walking.
Did NOT "nail" the landing.
Bruised/cracked rib.
No running or cycling for a few weeks.

I am going to one up idealist here.
Three weeks ago, I spontaneously decided to see a show. There’s a mosh pit, of course. It’s that kind of show. I figure why not hang out by the pit, seems fun, done it for 25 years now. Get pushed into the pit, god forbid. Get pushed and very u.n. gracefully try to remain by balance, bending my right foot so far, the fibula snaps.
The story continues, but I’ll leave it at this:
Countless trips to doctors, dozens of Oxis, an MRI, 6 casts and a steel implant later, here I am feeling old af, regretting my youthful spontaneity.- Best pit experience was around 1996 I took about two or three steps walking above the pit. I think it was Filter.HijoDMaite
- I've been thinking about the logistics of your experience, Hijo. Please do tell, did you launch from stage onto the pit or were you suspended above the pit?dasohr
- Also Filter was highly underrated. Still is.dasohr
- lesson learned. hope you will be better soon!api
- haha i believe it was regular floating on my back and then found the opportunity to stand.HijoDMaite
- Damn. I’m listening to the short bus album right now. It aged well, so heavy.HijoDMaite
- Filter was great until that Take a Picture songfooler

You go from graphic T's to plain shirts (mostly black, or that one color that goes with your skin tone).
- Its like I have a twindrgs
- Don't get me wrong, I see many shirts that I think look cool...until I try them on: "Yeah, you're not 20 anymore."Maaku
- +1 I practically live in black tees these days. Never touched one when I was younger.matski
- I concur...antimotion
- I’m in denial. Still think band tees are ok on an old fucker like myselfthumb_screws
- Navy t-shirts.. that's all I own, plain navy t-shirts.shapesalad
- Basic. Black. Maybe 100 of them. Reminds me of Steve Jobs and those turtlenecksgrafician

It's thirty six years since Paul Simon released "You Can Call Me Al". Thirty six. This makes me feel fine, because honestly, that shit is very, very old, and I don't worry about it.
Thirty six years.
- It almost feels as if the pop music scene has changed since then.jagara
- How about 40 years since the debut A Flock of Seagulls album.lemmy_k
- When I was in High School my parents and their friends went to see the Beach Boys 25th anniversary tour. I remember thinking that was so old!fooler
- Now most of the music I listen too is 25 years old.fooler
- Half the music I listen to is 50 years old. The rest is spread out to every year since.CyBrainX
- "t almost feels as if the pop music scene has changed since then." You keep trying to flex with this, but I can't at all see the point you're failing to make.Nairn

In a freshly cleaned apartment, with ready-cooked dinner on the stove, all work deadlines met, ideally on a Friday or Saturday (or the next day is off from work) a man an a woman make love to each other

I'm going to share a short story here:
I went to a show last night (Tuesday) alone. Summoning the strength to leave the house required significant effort, but I already had a ticket and really wanted to go.
I drove myself to the venue and drank a La Croix on the way there.
I arrived 20 minutes before the headliner started and thought, "Yes! Perfect timing."
I didn't order any drinks at the bar. I'm getting over a cold and wasn't in the mood.
The show ended just before midnight and I was thankful for an "early" ending at a venue where shows regularly end closer to 1am, or later.
I thought about stopping at 7-11 to get a Coke on the way home for a minute, then remembered that Coke has been gross to me after the first 2 sips for around 10 years.
Passed an In-n-Out near my house and thought about going through the drive-thru to get a milkshake, but then remembered that having a milkshake this late at night would destroy me.
Came home, had another La Croix, and went to bed.
- thought this was going to be about bladder control issues ;)monospaced
- I had OMD tickets and almost didn't go because it takes too long to recover after being out so late. I left before they were done to beat the crowd getting out.lemmy_k
- La Croix looks classyshapesalad
- ^^^ it's gross. I'd rather just drink plain water.section_014
- Had to Google La Croix.
http://i0.kym-cdn.co…Maaku - I like this.notype
- Get Up Kids?studderine
- Haha mono, same.garbage
- The missus always has La Croix in the fridge, and sometimes I'll have a sip. Tastes like Shang Tsung has performed a fatality on a 7up.garbage
- Where's the punch line?pango
- Yeah I saw the Get Up Kids at the Casbah, which in itself is probably a sign, right?nocomply
- I almost went but I was out of town!studderine
- Krassy2
- 2018 lineup?sted
- I recognized Danny Elfman, all the rest are unfamiliar to me.lemmy_k
- I looked at that and I was like, "Who the hell is Harry Styles?" And then for Ye, I was like, "Maybe that's what Kanye West goes by now??" I'm old and clueless.nocomply
- Having said that, there are about a half dozen acts I know and would love to see. Just not at a festival.nocomply
- Tbh i never recognized more than half the lineup at any given coachellascarabin
- Ye? Is it a misprint and missing the llo? Yello?sab
- the only band I would be interested in seeing in this entire line up is The Chats.fooler

- Same. It’s insanemisterhow
- It's amazing how often and in how many ways "user name checks out"CyBrainX
