@fuhgeddaboudme @MariusCrypt0@petergyang Social skills are a crutch that people who can't be true to themselves learn so they can 'fit in' socially. Don't learn social skills, learn authenticity.

@robinhanson Modern activists suffer from moral narcissism. Their actions ultimately feed the unhealthy ulterior desires of the self. Their outward behaviour is simply a monkey dance.

@StrangelEdweird@stephlepp@thomaschattwill @cvaldary They know what you mean with your original point. They are using sophistry tactics so as not to concede the point that activism > truth = moral narcissism, not true morally good actions.
@cvaldary "Truth is relative" is used as a rationalisation by people who want to continue believing in what they believe despite it being incongruous with external reality. It's the mantra of self-deception.
Do your hips feel tight & restricted?

@Nishwishes@SmoothDunk Yes that's the point. They need to convince themselves that THEY ARE capable of empathy though, so they choose performative and fashionable causes to signal empathy.

Most of my content is geared for longevity, but I also feel a duty to give back valuable data to kids.
These 4 steps have helped make millions of dollars and more importantly: REDUCE PAIN…
The key to improving issues with your hip flexors that 95% of people don’t think to try: Strengthen them.
If you took some of that time you spent stretching them and started training them in the weightroom, you would probably see good things happen.
Here’s why 🧵
People today walk around with the stiffest hips, and the implications are disastrous.
You set yourself up for chronic pain and bad posture for the rest of your life.
Take control now before it's too late.
These 10 stretches will free your hips from their misery:
The best time to do these stretches is before bed, as you unload all the tension accumulated throughout the day and achieve a deeper sleep.
1 - Half Frog Stretch (0:06)
3 x 30-60s/side
This one is excellent for your inner thighs and hip flexors.
You also stretch your abdominals.
2 - Seated Crossed Leg Reach Forward Stretch (0:14)
3 x 30-60s
This stretch also hits the lats that sit right above your hips.
Some of you may be unable to reach forward with your legs crossed.
The first milestone is to touch the floor with your hands and then slide them forward.
3 - Seated Pigeon Stretch (0:23)
3 x 30-60s/leg
Today, one of my clients felt a massive pull just by crossing his leg and pushing down. Forget leaning forward!
The goal is to bring your chest down to your leg while keeping your back straight.
Push your hips back toward the wall behind you to lower your torso.
4 - Seated Glute Strech (0:32)
3 x 30-60s/leg
The difference between this stretch and the Seated Pigeon is that you curl your upper back to lower your head to your leg.
5 - Lying Glute Stretch (0:43)
3 x 30-60s/leg
Lying on your back with one leg crossed.
Pull the other leg toward your chest and hold.
6 - Pigeon Stretch (0:52)
3 x 30-60s/leg
This stretch never fails to open my clients' hips, though many will feel enough of a pull by simply crossing one leg.
The goal is to reach forward and lower your torso parallel to the floor.
7 - Glute Bridge with External Rotation (1:00)
3 x 10-12/leg
This one is great because you strengthen one leg and stretch the other.
Due to a lack of strength or mobility, you might have to rotate with a bent leg before moving onto a straightened one.
8 - Frog Stretch (1:05)
3 x 30-60s
The frog stretch is amazing for your inner thigh muscles.
Start kneeling with your elbows on the floor and your feet pointing outward.
Slide backward and hold.
9 - Crossed-Leg Glute Bridge (1:14)
3 x 30-60s/leg
Here is another Glute Bridge variation where you strengthen one leg and stretch the other.
You feel the hip opening up at the top, so hold it there and rotate your knee away from your body to increase the pull.
10 - V Stretch (1:23)
3 x 30-60s
You can do this stretch with your legs up in the air or against a wall.

Start taking care of your hips now before they turn into stone.
Reversing the stiffness becomes much more painful and takes much longer if you let it fester over the years.
You'll feel much more relaxed and move smoother once you eliminate all the excess pressure.
Your back hurts because you have a weak core, tight hamstrings, and weak glutes.
Here are 10 exercises you can do in 10 minutes to undo hours of sitting at the desk:
4-Step Hip Flexor Protocol
Most people stop sprinting unnaturally soon.
And most people sit unnaturally much.
But by reversing these common deviations, people have seen improvements for the hips, lower back and knees, while unlocking greater athletic potential in the process…
You know who said it best? Leonard Cohen. He meditated all those years often for 12 hours at a time. In an interview, he said his storyline just wore itself out. He got so bored with his dramatic storyline. He said: "The less there was of me, the happier I got."~Pema Chödrön
