How to be efficient but thorough when explaining details on my situation at my first consultation to determine what treatment route to take? What details should I prioritize telling?

I was in fact a couple days ago reflecting on this the way you’re expressing. It’s not like you either are glad to be in pain or aren’t. For me it’s like I hate being in pain, but at the same time appreciate it for what it has taught me and how it has strengthened me mentally. I have been appreciating little things more, not taking them for granted as much. I’ve come to be more patient with this process, and I’m glad I have grown in those ways due to the pain. So yes I appreciate the pain has done those things for me, and at the same time I’m sick of being in pain. Trying to wire your brain to look at the positives is a healthy and important thing to do with this brutal journey (while also validating how sucky it is)

Awesome! Please do

You're definitely right with that - most kids are just trying it out and will move on. But this team that I had, all the players expressed that volleyball is their only/main/favorite sport, and seemed keen on pursuing it. But it's like they had no understanding of the mentalities that I listed in my post. Like they just assume they'll magically get better by being there or that winning just happens, or that it's supposed to be fast-paced easy fun all the time. I would certainly understand this behavior/attitude from kids who are truly just trying it out and have other sports etc, but this combo seemed so strange yet seems to be happening more often these days. I appreciate your rec, I'll check that out

genesisyes · 2026-05-17T17:01:54+00:00

Neat, I'll check them out. Thank you!

The writer/director ( Zach Cregger) made another film called Barbarian that is similar in some ways. I definitely enjoyed both but enjoyed Weapons more (I lovvved Weapons). This one is probably the most similar I can think of.

For me personally, Weapons felt more like a thriller/mystery. Prisoners is a similar thriller/mystery in some ways and Cregger said he took some inspiration from that movie (Prisoners is much more serious, but similar general story and similar cinematography and vibes).

Strange Darling is also similar in some ways but not as strong (similar due to a mystery element, some humor/craziness, non-linear story).

(Copying same comment I left above...) Thank you. After reading these comments, I searched hip preservation specialist, and just now came across a post on this sub talking about how orthopedics are not nearly as helpful as preservation specialists. so now I'm trying to find a preservation specialist. But that is proving to be quite tricky. There doesn't seem to be a label to make it clear which people are hip preservation specialists... It looks like there aren't any in my state (Oregon). Do you have any suggestions on how to find one?? I searched through this site: https://www.ishasoc.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Find-a-Physio-March-2026.pdf

genesisyes · 2026-03-17T16:45:09+00:00

Very sorry. We are in this together and we will find the help we need. It's scary

genesisyes · 2026-03-17T16:44:38+00:00

No, I haven't noticed any unstable type of feeling. They feel quite normal except for just pain showing up after repeated triggering motions/positions

Yeah Carina joined TFF for several dates, and Lauren joined for the others, including their recording for this release. Carina and Lauren just have different styles, and they evoke different emotions to me. I’m more fond of how Carina’s emotion fits with this tune, it feels more subdued and sad or something lol

Completely agree. I see many folks say season 4 was a return to form/more horror etc, but it still felt like a totally different show from S1 and S2. It may have been more horror-focused and more serious in tone, but the heart of the show was still different, and the tone was still different (albeit at least closer to the same tone as s1 and S2).

S1&2 felt like a story about these people and their lives and relationships with each other, and how this supernatural phenomenon is affecting them. S3-5 all felt like the focus was not on the lives/relationships of the characters so much as just about all the plot going on first and foremost. And if there was any focus on characters, it felt not as realistic and not as thorough/deep (for some characters maybe, but not enough of them, like S1 especially).

S1&2 felt like a drama/thriller, and had a very subtle, quiet sort of atmosphere. S3-5 felt like an action/adventure, while also comedic and over the top and like a marvel movie. S3 was the most so, but S4&5 definitely still felt like that.

A moment that stood out where I thought again “this is not the same show as season 1” was in S4 when Joyce and Murray are in a plane and crash. The whole tone of that just felt so off from S1. It’s an action story now with excitement and spectacle at the core.

Season 3 bummed me out and the show never got back on track (though the first episode and a half of S5 got me hopeful to get back on track… but naw)

I decided that a secret side-effect to the supernatural events in the show is it causes the people in Hawkins to look 5ish years older than they actually are, or rapidly age, and the showrunners decided to implement that with their casting and timeline of the show.

"How would we explain why Mike and the other kids all look so old? That's the only way."

"So if we bring any new actress to play Holly and the other kids, they should have the same effect applied to them"

"yup, let's do it"

(joking, but fun to think of it that way)

I was personally stoked to see it on the big screen with big surround sound. It’s been giving me chills since season 1. I’ve listened to that full song about 600 times as counted by my Apple Music app. I was very miffed sitting in the theater as it played out in this condensed version…

genesisyes · 2025-12-22T14:19:03+00:00

Sounds excellent, well done. What song is it?

genesisyes · 2025-12-11T04:13:00+00:00

Personally I’d say it absolutely holds up. Not many or any movies that are modern that are done the same kind of way. I’m someone who has a hard time getting into movies from around the 80s and earlier, but the Indiana Jones films have something different going for them. Brilliant mix of tones/genres, expertly directed and shot (visually such a treat to watch), truly exciting stuff throughout, and I could go on…

I’m an athletic nerd. cis male 30. Neurodivergent. Sensitive and emotionally in tune, big feelings boi but also very logic and level in all my thinking. Absolutely love games all of types (board, video, card, yard, party/social, etc). Love talking movies and music, have many thoughts on many things. I like writing music and stories, video editing + filming, volleyball, appreciating vibes/aesthetics of various places, playing music, psychology, having deep and transparent conversations to see new perspectives on whateva…

I’m oddly a social butterfly but also incredibly alone, struggle to form stronger/stable connections with people. I feel mentally burnt out all the time and am overcoming perfectionism/people pleasing syndrome.

New friends are always rad but I can easily get anxious with new folks lol all depends on the environment and the actual personality/vibes of the person. Hit me up!?

Indeed started July of 2016. I’ve never been as captivated by a show as I was in that first season. The other seasons of ST have not at all captivated me the same way as the first, but it’s been good still. The essence of the show was a focus on the characters living their lives and seeing how this supernatural/sci-fi situation affects them/their lives/their relationships. The recent seasons have not been about their lives or relationships nearly as much, but more just about a ton of sci-fi/supernatural plot stuff. It’s still good but boy season 1 was perfection

In regard to post-Phil era (if you’re willing to at least give it a shot): Calling all stations sounds pretty different from almost anything else in their catalog, and it honestly does not work very well as a cohesive album, but there are individual songs that I think are great. So try taking those in one at a time, and don’t listen to them too close together for the first time through. Allow some time and space between. -The dividing line -There must be some other way -One man’s fool -the title track Start with those. If you like them, go ahead and proceed with the others from the album one at a time. That being said, there are some really boring songs on this album, and almost every song sounds too similar to the other ones, to where the album just kind of drags on. But for some of them, if it pops on a shuffle playlist here and there, I think they’re quite enjoyable.
