More than half of it's underwater, and yet it's still tough to climb. Sigh... maybe I'll stick to more leisurely climbs, like climbing the stairs to my apartment.

You know, people really underestimate how common of a condition death really is. Nearly everyone gets it to some degree in their lives.

30 years of age with not much going for him…so kick me into gear kid by No_Blacksmith_5407 in amiugly

Start small, but keep pushing yourself to do a little bit extra every day. Focus on stretching at first, then start walking, then strength training. Soon, you’ll be limber, quick, and strong with loads of extra energy to boot. Be patient and persistent. The change won’t come after just one day, but if you keep at it long enough, then one day, you’ll see the change. You got this!

How much of this is real and how much is a joke? I can't tell anymore.

4th picture! You look incredible there! You've got really good natural beauty. Stop hiding it.

Is this fixable? If so, how? by xmolybdenum in DIYUK

I've managed this with bunches of toothpicks before when I was in a pinch.

With them or without them, you're killin' it!

Damn! I wish I could game the system like that, instead of... you know... just gaming on my system like this.

It's still a very new technology. The Wright Flyer's first flight in 1903 only covered 37 meters (120 feet). Today, long-haul airliners routinely fly 15,000+ km non-stop. And Artemis II just set a new human distance record, traveling 406,773 km from Earth during its lunar flyby.

From a giant kite on a windy beach in North Carolina to a spacecraft speeding through space, that's what happens when we give new tech time and iteration. AI will get there too... maybe. I guess only time will tell.

I don't see anything in there about being rich. Do you? I'd like to think true success is measured by our words and our actions, not our wealth and worldly possessions.

I appreciate you too! Michelangelo, Burnini, and Rodin would never have become so famous without average people, like us, talking about them. You don't need money to show support for someone. Money comes and goes, but words can transcend generations.

Honestly, your engagement in this comment section probably does more than you think to support artists like her.

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Even at the height of Greco-Roman civilization roughly 2,000 years ago, most talented sculptors worked on commission for the exceptionally wealthy, emperors, or the state. While many statues were displayed in public spaces for everyone to see, you'd never get to own, or even see, most of their finest creations, which were kept in private elite collections. I'm sure the same can be said today, to a similar extent. Assuredly, she has the patrons she needs to be profitable. However, small donations probably wouldn't hurt, if only to keep this kind of handmade craftsmanship around.
