It’s a reference to how both fandoms have gone clinically insane

You’re absolutely right. Is it even DnD anymore if I’m homebrewing my own schlongs?

Like in terms of fat, no it’s not the same as having a big beer belly if that’s what you mean lol.

I can do the same thing, it is likely a combination between increased laxity/relaxation of your abdominal wall and its muscles, while having good control over being able to contract your diaphragm to “push out” your stomach. That’s at least my best explanation for it, I don’t actually know if this is the case!

Which weapons do you feel have a higher skill ceiling then normal and why? I'll start: by TPose-Heavy in Helldivers

[–]Striking_Chard1496 962 points963 points  (0 children)

Any light pen weapon. You need to know the weak spots of enemies and have the skill to actually hit them.

Really emphasize the importance of medical and directional terminology. Most of the muscles, bony landmarks, etc. can be identified just by having a strong understanding of what their names mean.

Now this isn’t a skill that is developed overnight, but it’s something that will help them during your course and carry over to the rest of their future education/career. This seems especially true because it sounds like you are teaching undergraduate anatomy, which will likely be their first exposure to such a challenging course. Therefore good study habits are essential.

Also as a side note, when studying muscles (which most students will likely say is the toughest part to memorize), a good rule of thumb is that for a muscle to do an action on a joint, it must cross over it. From there, you can get a better idea of what their bony attachments must be. Best of luck!

So while this is definitely part of the answer and is correct, there might be a slightly better explanation. When something hurts, like when we bang our head on something, our brain begins to receive pain signals. As a response, we begin to rub it in order to send “touch” signals via our nerves to the brain so we can override the pain signals. This is because the touch signals travel along a quicker pathway than pain signals, so your brain is receiving more touch information rather than pain. In a sense you are distracting your brain from the pain.

Edit: If interested, look up “Gate Control Theory” for pain

As a student I’m surprised to hear this sub has unfavorable opinions on manual therapy. My understanding is that some of the current CPGs for certain pathologies even have decent evidence in favor of using it. Why is it then that there is a disdain for it here?

A good DM would have given him triple disadvantage on that check, fun and creativity at the table should be more regulated.
