@ky0ko If I can work out which packages I need to install for Quake 2 on FreeBSD, I'd gladly join in!
Massage is as much about "fascia" -- the connective tissue that wraps muscles and organs, anchoring them in place -- as it is about the muscles itself.
Fascia is thixotropic, which means that it becomes less tough and more fluid under mechanical stress. (It also gets more fluid when warmer, like most things.) Normally, the movements of your muscles provide enough movement and heat to keep them loose. When you don't get enough movement, the fascia around them becomes thick and tough, less permeable. The metabolic waste produced by your muscles builds up in the fascia around them.
A good massage uses heat, pressure, and motion to loosen the fascia, allowing your body to clear the metabolic waste. That's good in the long term, but in the immediate term it means possibly *years* of waste buildup has just been dumped into your bloodstream. Some of this waste is the stuff your body checks for measure how fatigued your muscles are, some is just toxic in large quantities.
All of this gets filtered out of your blood by your kidneys for excretion, which means also taking water out of your blood. So you need to replace the water, and if you don't, your kidneys will slow down / stop filtering toxins out to avoid drying out your blood.
So drink a *lot* of water.

Why not ask me something? Few things are off-limits (as is within the Retrospring TOS, anyways), so ask whatever your heart desires!
@cdmnky But I want to be part of a chemical structure!
Hi! It's me, your friendly local foxgirl. Do you have meds you need to be taking right now? Have you taken them? If you do and you haven't taken them, you should go do that! Your meds are there to help you, but they can't do that if you aren't taking them. So, if you're putting it off, why don't you take a quick break and go take them?
With love,
Kat 💗
@hierarchon Oh, and also not making so much stuff dependent on quirks of the hardware of yore (I'm looking at you separate CRLF instead of single character for newline)
@hierarchon Let's see here... better support for cluster computing (Plan 9 started in the right direction with its networked filesystem), gopher being the main web protocol rather than http (http still being used, just...less), and an assumption that everything will be networked one day, so we better think about security *now* rather than kick the can down the road for *later*
Incidentally, also in things I just realized, I forgot to buy baking powder while I was at the store yesterday. This isn't important, but I still thought I'd mention it.
Seriously, I thought stuff like Cheetos or chocolate chip cookies were gonna be the hard part, figuring out that they contain animal products and all. I didn't expect myself to be so dense as to forget that eggs and butter are absolutely not vegan. Like, since I've got 'em, I'm gonna use 'em, but, like...for fuck's sake, me. How do you do something like that?!
So, based on some Satanist principles of mine, I've been trying to go vegan. You wanna know how *that's* gone?
While at the store yesterday, I bought almond milk...alongside *eggs* and *butter*. And I do mean butter. Not margarine. Not vegetable oil spread. Butter, made with cow's milk and everything.
It only *just* occurred to me that that was something that happened.
I thought this would be hard from products I didn't realize weren't vegan, and yet even obviously non-vegan stuff is hard wtf
a less serious diversion from the topic at hand, affection request
@mavica Gladly!

Honestly, I never really thought about how some things generally seen as kink could work in non-sexual ways. It's kinda a concept that I can vaguely relate with (though I'd need think think more on specific ways in which I do) and I'd kinda like to hear more about, whether from you or others who feel similarly
in all seriousness one of the most obnoxious things about mental health is the chicken-egg problem of feeling too bad to do things that will make you feel better

Inspired by my time at the park today, I present a story about a demon, a powerful relic, and one small child:
