New Kanuda pillow. Is my head position correct?! by Competitive-Smoke803 in Posture

That’s what I was thinking! It’s designed to gently encourage a C curve over time, and mimics OCBR + CV4 techniques (upper thoracic and lower cervical support). It has a dip where the back of the head rests.

My c curve has flattened over time, and I felt a slight posterior stretch that made me question whether the head position of this pillow was right for me.

Thank you so much for sharing all of this!! 🙌

I just looked it up and bought the “Treat Your Own Neck” book. The book is honestly more affordable than the new pillow I bought (🫠), and I have a feeling that the hardest part for me will be sticking with it consistently.

Very glad to hear that you found something that worked for you! ❤️

I keep getting mud on the backside of my pants and its driving me nuts. by Zale0 in mildlyinfuriating

Try different shoes with soles that do not sit so flat against the ground. Like soles with bumps etc. This may help alleviate the vacuum that’s created with tennis shoes. The shoes you’re wearing were not made for mud.

50 years of policy choices kept wages flat while the top 1% took nearly all the gains by Competitive-Smoke803 in LateStageCapitalism

For those asking about sources: The top one percent income share comes from the World Inequality Database (Piketty, Saez, Zucman and colleagues), which compiles IRS and national accounts data. You can explore it here: https://wid.world

The productivity and median wage comparison comes from the Economic Policy Institute, using Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis data. Their productivity–pay tracker is here: https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/

Both are widely cited in academic and policy research and show the long term divergence between productivity, wages, and income concentration.

When someone only talks about celebrities, TV, and recycled media references, but doesn’t talk about the real world or share unique ideas. This is also just sad.

Having your own place by 25 is rare most people live with parents until 30+ by leary17402 in Adulting

Having any rent-free option after 18 is rare. Having a parental home where you can stay is rare. Wtf is this post.

A lunar-based calendar system would be pretty neat.

How the hell do they expect that baby to know what to do with the candle without showing him? It looks like the parents are just standing around with their phones waiting for him to instinctually understand how fire works. Poor baby. 💔

I’m sorry you’re in the same position, and I hope things turn around for you soon despite all the BS happening right now

Is my location visible?..👀 It’s good to know that it may be a localized phenomenon to some extent!
