My man got a new perscription and starts handing out pills to his buddy, I dig it.

Oh no.....that might be me

It comes from a place of love, but yeah.

Anyone who has alleviated their back pain loves to prescribe their solution for everyone else with back pain:

• Do these exercises I learned from an occupational therapist or physical therapist or physiotherapist
• Just lift weights and get stronger
• Do yoga
• Stretch more
• Get a standing desk and improve your posture
• Get a better pillow/mattress
• Get regular massages
• No not that kind, get these kinds of massages
• Acupuncture or dry needling
• Cryotherapy
• Certain types of medication
• Certain types of injections
• Certain types of surgery

And the reality is that all of these are potential solutions, and some of them are just good to do anyway, but anyone who has had chronic back pain has probably gotten sick of hearing it.

And I get it. I used to be that guy who advocates for heavy deadlifts and posture exercises and standing desks. And I still know that works for me. But these days, I at least have a bit more humility about the universal applicability of these solutions.

See also people who have gotten out of poverty (or gone from middle class to rich) giving financial advice, people in good relationships giving advice to their single friends, etc.

This is perfect

Therapists are treated like they’re supposed to be miracle workers. You’re experiencing some sort of mental health struggle? Just go see a therapist, because they know how to make your mind magically better. If it doesn’t work, it’s because you aren’t trying hard enough.

I spent years and thousands on therapy to realize that my problem is that I have zero support system, and have been always viewed as disposable by my family. I’m awkward, probably autistic, but was born female so never got diagnosed - just tortured in the “troubled teen industry.” I’m queer, so I’m not really a human being where I live.

Therapy doesn’t fix those things.

“Drink water, eat more regular, and sleep regularly” “NOT EVERYTHING THAT WORKS FOR YOU WORKS FOR ME”

Edit: 9 times outta 10 it’s one of these or you learned a bad thought pattern you need to figure out how to unlearn

Damn, £90 for a print (~$121 USD). I don't think I could above about £60 for a print.

But yes, it is clever.

I bet if that triangle was a dollar bill everyone would be singing a different tune.

But handing out the triangle advice can fill most of the gaps of the other people?
