As an athletic trainer, I describe it like so:

Think of your muscles as a rubber band. If its cold, then its more at risk of snapping under load. To warm it up, you stretch it gently repeatedly. (Dynamic stretches) You don’t stretch it to its max and hold it there. (Static stretching) You’re just exhausting the elasticity. Saving static stretches for after activity keeps the rubber band from bunching up and sticking together as it cools down again.

An injured muscle could be described as being “colder” or like rubber bands stick together sometimes. And the best way to fix them is to work them back to normal in a controlled manor.

Dr. Gray Anatomy but they brought him back in a later episode by explaining that it was actually his twin brother that died in the explosion.

We really need to revisit the whole fucking constitution. Plenty of other countries have drafted and approved modern constitutions. We don’t need to hold on to this one because old and tradition.

That was a fun little county fair roller coaster ride. Well worth the 2 tickets.

Nobody would be stupid enough to suggest that the Trump administration is stupid enough to do all of these things.

Fishy how? As in a state-level backdooring like was the case with XZ and Jia Tan or are you weary of something else?

The United States is older than Italy. Italy wasn’t a unified nation until 1871. The United States became a country in 1776. And Italians did segregate into ethnic centers of cities in the United States. Chicago, New York, and St. Louis all have heavy italian presence within certain neighborhoods but even still lost their language. Italian dialects are not the same as regional accents. The nationalization of the italian language was still underway well into the 20th century. The Florentine dialect was only spoken by about 10% of the population in the 1870’s at most. It wasn’t until mass market radio and TV came along that it began to rapidly spread.

That’s a symptom of the cultural identity of italy. Italy as a nation is still very new. When italian emigrants left for other countries there was no national language. Italy was a kingdom of dialects. That’s why there’s millions of italian americans that don’t speak the language. Even if italian immigrants lived in common communities in their new countries, they may not know the dialect of their neighbors. So instead, they learned the local language and let their dialect die so they could communicate.

Can you believe this guy? So fucking annoying. All the time…🙄

Oh hi u/disregardable! How are you!?

I hate where we are right now. Krishnamoorthi was an immediate out on my ballot. So it came down to Juliana Stratton and Robin Kelly. Juliana Stratton is more likely and is mentioned in the article to be the opposition to Krishnamoorthi but there was no mention of her refusal to declare the Israeli actions as genocide. Robin Kelly was the only candidate in the debate to label their actions a genocide and has verified that she does not receive AIPAC money. Stratton stopped short of calling it what it is. Saying what’s happening is terrible…thanks Stratton, can you tell me what color I see when I’m standing in a corn field next?

But the trouble comes in the Democratic primary’s single choice voting system. Krishnamoorthi is now using that to his advantage and using PACs to run ads in favor of Kelly to pull votes away from Stratton and boost his chances of getting the nomination. If the primary was run using ranked choice, I could have voted Kelly 1 and Stratton 2 to avoid this whole mess.

Yeah…no shit. We were promised PSLF and a fair income-driven repayment plan under Biden’s SAVE plan. In my situation that would have been $0 monthly payments for me and my wife over the course of our 10 years in public service as healthcare professionals. Essentially making our secondary education free for the exchange of being a net benefit to our community’s health and well-being.

Instead, since the SAVE plan was put in forbearance and is now looking like it’s going to be dismantled, we’ll have lost about a year’s worth of PSLF eligible payments, our monthly payments are going from $0 to about $500/mo, and as of now there’s no buyback on the lost term. Mohela knew what it was getting into by servicing all PSLF borrower’s loans. They consolidate the loans and in turn the federal government guarantees payment in full for a majority of those borrowers. Thus, Mohela doesn’t have to litigate wage garnishment on delinquent accounts. The fucking rug pull here is illegal and I plan to litigate. The SAVE plan allowed me the financial flexibility to purchase a house with a 30 year mortgage and finance a used vehicle to reliably get to work so of course I took that opportunity. It’d be stupid NOT to. There’s a reason all these college-educated people are delinquent. I’m just fortunate that I was VERY careful not to overextend myself back in 2020 knowing another Republican presidential candidate may try to fuck me. I didn’t think it would be Trump again.

That’s already happened. Ronald Reagan was a big fan of SciFi and created a think tank of SciFi authors to advise him on potential threats of the future.

That’s what I call beating my children. Those mines aren’t going to dig themselves.

Nonsense. I can attest you’re a certifiable fuckin’ snakk
