Maybe there's a terminology problem, but I thought each condo unit was individually owned? Like, if you've got a tower block, and everybody owns their own domicile within it, it's a condo, but if they're owned by a landlord and rented out, it's an apartment.

I don’t think there’s a way to keep the muscles tense subconsciously

Part of 'better posture' is relying on your core muscles for stability instead of your back muscles, and that's the thing that keeps fucking with me. I overly rely on my back to keep me upright, and I have a hard time keeping my core engaged like that too. From what I've been told, it's a practice thing and I just don't do it enough for them to stay engaged without thinking about it.

The office chair is providing something called 'lumbar support' if you want a search term, and some people do have a bigger curve there than others. I'm proportionally short, so I have to move the cushion around until it hits the sweet spot and isn't uncomfortable. Slouching will also make your lumbar curve flatten out, so that could be it. I think it's just a matter of trying different things and seeing what works best for you, it's not one-size-fits-all.

Okay, ty

I'm just confused because somebody said "it's not important he was a gardner, it's important that he's unqualified", and you jumped in with a "I disagree, its important he's not qualified" and I'm just lost.

Like, are you saying its important to focus on his lack of qualifications, or are you saying you disagree with that?

I'm assuming that's a typo, and you don't really think every job has benefits.

On the other hand, I really do wonder how many of those 300m views were also not human views.

Oh dang, I haven't heard about Earthships in aaaaages

it assumes (1) conflict mediation is always possible and (2) and you do not want a system which is racist. (2) is fine, but (1) is not easy

1 is actually not as hard as people make it out to be, people just think 'mediation' and 'giving orders' are the same thing. I did care for developmentally disabled adults, and part of my training was in conflict mediation. I've also worked in a low-cost hotel that housed drug dealers, and preferred to de-escalate conflicts between tweakers myself instead of calling the cops. One of the huge problems with the US police forces is that they generally assume conflict mediation isn't going to work and jump straight to guns.

I also don't understand why it's not a political talking point that happy people don't commit crime to begin with. The US is allergic to taxes being used to increase happiness. Benefits keep getting shot down like, oh no, we can't have aid because people won't use it to better themselves, they're just going to stop stealing booze and start paying for it. Even their supposed downside is an actual improvement, I don't get it.

It's like $11 on patreon, haha. It just says 'adult' so I don't know how nude the nudes are.

Anarchy and Marxism aren't the same thing, lmao

Gotta say, the biggest reason I'm not on Pixedfed is because I was told that I could migrate my instagram content, but the two instances I signed up for had that option disabled. I can't seem to find an instance that tells you upfront if it's allowed or not, and I've already wasted enough time on it.

Ah, I assumed "relationship with food starts to get kind of toxic" meant a toxic relationship with the food, not the structure.
