Idk what the official term/word is, but I remember a lot of things when I'm doing "mundane" tasks or things that require virtually zero thinking.

That's the only way they can get decent pay. Uber and Lyft pay shit

Or brush your teeth again, regardless.

I feel the same. I’m not much of a writer but when I remember how it was in school or occasionally Journal here and there, it’s always so apparent how writing manifests the thoughts in my brain.

Get some inserts for your shoes. Gel or memory foam. Also inversion tables depending on your age and body type

Unfortunately they'll probably cite the mountain dew case as a reason to side with the company.

If you can’t remember if you’ve brushed your teeth, I’d suggest scheduling an appointment with your primary care

This is way too vague. Humans absolutely need social lives. Depriving yourself of that will worsen your mental health

Thanks for the reminder! I believe everything.

I had lower back pain and sciatica type pain. My advice is first push your doc to get it imaged to rule out any deep physiological problems, but be wary. I had 2 bulging discs, which seem to have retreated. I had and still have narrowing passages in the vertebrae and collapsing discs, but that seems to be just part of aging and not a cause of this pain. Which was caused by - no one could tell me. I used a chiropractor and did yoga/stretching, building up to what I could handle (Cobra pose, Bird dog, Cat Cow, toe touching, hurdler's stretch, glute and hip cross leg stretches, hip raise from prone on back, planks). It took nearly 2 years to go from crippling pain to full relief (I was 67 when the worst of it hit). I can't tell you if it was the exercise or time. No drugs helped worth mentioning but I took a lot of ibuprofen before bed. Who knows if there was a placebo effect. BTW, long soaking hot baths help. I have 2 younger brothers who went through similar problems and the same kind of therapy. One is back to 100%, one still has some pain but is fully active (ski instructor, back packer). Get a good chair, don't skimp on the ergonomics. I got a lot of relief using a standing desk, which your company should pay for if you are a desk worker and you get an MD note. Lastly, make sure your bed and pillow are supportive. I found that one of those between the knees pillows helped me sleep longer and with less motion and pain.
Good luck!

Reply to comment by FullyRisenPhoenix in LPT: Since April 1st is coming up. A good tip to live by is that everyone should be able to laugh at your prank at the end. If everyone ends up laughing at the person getting pranked, and they are just the punchline, chances are you're just being a jerk. Don't be a jerk. by moosepooo
Wow, unbelievable. Especially from an adult too. Extremely childish.

Years back I packed up and moved my family from my hometown to a new place. After I signed all the paperwork on the new house and everything I found out that an old highschool friend lived in the same town. We were tight growing up so I reached out. Turned out he had a kid the same age as mine and we were only going to live about a mile from each other. I thought it was going to be cool, being so close to a friend, kids the same age, boy was I wrong. It turns out that sometimes people don't change at all. This dude was exactly the same as in highschool. He was all about getting stoned and get-rich-quick schemes. I really didn't enjoy the time I spent with him, but figured if I'm just going to be sitting around drinking beer, might as well have someone to drink with, then it got worse. We would hang out all day Saturday, he was also one of those dudes that couldn't take the hint that it was time to leave, I'd literally be brushing my teeth for bed and he still wouldn't get it, anyways, then he would call me or text me every single day trying to hang out and would get offended if I didn't answer the phone or return his texts. I finally had to tell him that I have a job, a family, I can't hang out every single day, or even every single week. It would seem like he got it, but then the next time we hung out he'd go right back to calling and texting every day. I finally just started ignoring him outright and eventually he stopped calling and texting. Turns out his son is kind of a cock and my son didn't like hanging out with him anyways so I just wrote the whole experience off. I still live right down the street from him and run into him while out and about from time to time, I just nod and keep moving. It's kind of a shame really, he's a cool dude but his clinginess and lack of motivation in general just made him too toxic to keep in my life. At least now I don't dread my phone ringing or being in my yard fearing his car would pull up. Sometimes it's worth it cutting people out of your life.
