This is basically what my physical therapist had me do for my back problems last year and it helped with the pain so much! Also walk for at least thirty minutes a day, even if it's just in small chunks throughout the day.

Appalachian Flood Relief Resources

Eastern Kentucky has been affected by historic and devastating flooding this July. Somewhere between 25-30 people are dead, and that number is expected to rise as missing bodies are discovered and further issues arise due to the loss of medications and health services. This post is designed to compile information for the relief efforts. It will be edited and updated as new information is made available to me, so if you see this post and want to reblog it, please click on my profile and reblog directly from my page in case I have edited or updated the post! Please message me with questions.

Monetary Donations:

Below is a compiled list of some donation funds for the 2022 Eastern KY flood relief efforts. Please look through these or look into any of these organizations to decide if you are comfortable donating.

Volunteering:

If you are local to the area, please consider a donation of your time. There is a lot of work that needs done and a lot of people needed to do it. You will lose access to clean water, so bring your own. You will need to find your own accommodations if you stay overnight as we are housing many displaced residents already.

Materials Donations:

If you want to donate items, one of the most desperately needed items in all counties right now is clean drinking water, followed by non-perishable food, cleaning supplies, diapers, formula, and personal hygeine products. Word most recently is that clothing donations are not a priority any longer!

One thing that I wish my players would have done when I was a new dm was ask "hey DM, what did you want us to do?" Or "how did you want this to work?" if they got stuck on something.

DMing has this whole veil of secrecy surrounding it, an implication that you have to do set everything up in secret and let your players discover things on their own time. Players are likewise brought in with the understanding that they can never challenge the dm without being a "problem player". This means that the dm misses a lot of learning opportunities early on when it comes to improving their narration/prep, which can come back to bite them later. If there's a player/dm disconnect, it's better if it's called out early rather than allowed to grow worse over time

my skull is burning infinitely aflame what in fuck is going on

bro we KNOW this can be bypassed we know listen to me thats not the fucking point. the point is that it shouldnt exist in the first place like most shit thats needlessly a subscription these days and that every person involved in making & approving this software should be literally killed with rocks and hellfire

You CAN do deep squats, my friend!

I’ve seen a few of this guys vids (the pullup one most recently) floating around now and i cannot tell you how much i love them.

there’s so much emphasis on getting in shape and exercising, but it all just assumes that everyone can already do these exercises to begin with.

you need to build up your body’s muscles first and i will forever rage that PE/Gym class never teaches kids how

this man’s a pure blessing for breaking these exercises down to easier steps

this post really gets so much better with age

One time when I was playing minecraft, in order to justify stealing a village's crops all the time I decided to build a house near them, and spend a lot of my time improving the village and defending the villagers from monsters. took me a while to realize I had accidentally become a feudal lord

We’re so lucky they filmed Lord of the Rings when they did. Twenty years later, they would’ve had Viggo Mortensen riding a green bike that they CGI into a horse because that’s better for some reason.

This simple feeling… is beyond Disney’s comprehension.

Kids, kids. Are you telling me you think they didn’t use CGI in Lord of the Rings? One of the characters is entirely mo-cap and CGI! It has dragons and mammoths, and I promise they didn’t really build gigantic statues to sail boats through.

no, people are not saying they didn’t cgi the dragons they’re saying lotr used real horses unlike the above example of editing in a dog where they might have held an actual dog.

Exactly. LOTR was a masterpiece in balancing CG and practical effects, they didn’t overuse CG. That didn’t mean they didn’t use it, it means that when practical was better, they used practical. When LOTR used CG, it was because it could not be done at the time with practical effects; you just can’t make someone look like Gollum without making their suit and prosthetics impossible to act in. This was before motion capture, they had to animate Gollum BY HAND using Andy Serkis as a reference. Four tusked elephants with tiny people walking around on them aren’t exactly on sale, nor are fell beasts.

Isengard and Orthanc? Bigature (miniature but like, the size of a tennis court). Minas Tirith? Bigature. Helm’s Deep, the Black Gate, Barad-dur, Minas Morgul, Osgiliath, even elements of Lothlorien, Moria, and the Grey Havens? BIGATURES. Hobbits and Gandalf in one shot? Almost always tricks of perspective with, for example, a table set that was made in 3 pieces to move and make you think Tiny Elijah Wood™ was sitting at the same table as Giant Ian McKellan™, not greenscreen. They literally went so far as to make the Hobbits’ clothes (on the taller actors, not their little stunt doubles) with thicker thread to make their smallness look real.

Those statues, the Gates of Argonath? CG. The gorge and the boats? Real.

But the thing about the top example with the dog? They’re doing it because CG is less expensive because animal handlers have unions, while CG artists don’t and work in sweatshop conditions.
