so I’m not sure why you’re assuming I don’t take care of myself
If that's the impression you got, my apologies. I was using your comment more as a soap box to preach the importance of taking care of the body and how much difference a little goes.
My bad for forgetting that, in the end, I was replying to an individual. We can call this "getting carried away". Doesn't devalue what I said, but I certainly could've been a bit more conscious of the soap box.
My only extra insight beyond your doctor's much more valuable opinion is that doctors often focus on fixing a problem. But it's very important to sustain a lifestyle that prevents problems from occurring. Skeletal, muscular, and the nervous system(s) are the failures of all "old injuries". Reinforcing them and keeping them active prevents the most basic of injuries. It's only cartridge issues that we can't bolster, it just wears out if abused, never getting resilient.
I'm pretty genetically unlucky. That's why I've paid attention to my diet and staying active. It was something doctors told me quite early in the journey, and they were right. Taking care of oneself goes a very long way. Years and years.
A big part of it is listening to your body and pushing the limits without actually breaking it, so it gets higher. If your knees are hurting, stop. Take care of them. You've only got two and if you push them, they'll die young while the rest of you has plenty more years to give but can't now because some shit broke, so they decay too.
If you want to be more active, focus on your inactive parts for sake of the rest of the parts. They'll tell you when to stop, and listen. But each time they'll get a bit better than the last, or you'll figure out a way to compensate for them.
It's as simple as taking care of yourself as soon as possible. Otherwise, as time goes on, you only damage yourself either through negligence or apathy.
I'm 40 and don't experience any of this because I've remained active and eat well. I only just got into whitewater kayaking as my latest hobby and I doubt I'd have noticed much more of an edge at 27. Even with climbing, I still compete and doubt I'd notice an edge unless I was at the level of a full professional.
I think the aches occur in neglected muscles and skeletons. They'll come for us all one day, but 27? Not good.

Thanks, perfectly_boiled_pizza

Some times Person A can be so fallacious or incorrect, Person B may assume they're intentionally wasting time by trolling, doubting that Person A is actually unintentionally that incompetent or incapable of discourse.
This usually starts when Person A ignores what Person B has said or starts applying common argument fallacies, seemingly for the sake of being right as a priority over empathising or broadening perspective.
Of my many years socialising on the Internet, it should be very rare to be called a troll; so much so that if it happens, it's likely I'm being a total twat entirely out of touch with reality. So, if you're finding this happens to you regularly, it may be food for thought to at least listen/read what someone is saying and ponder on it before responding. If you start wasting their time, prepare tocontinue being called a troll.
I don't notice this in my country. Most bins have a cigarette bin attached and most smokers don't just light up anywhere. It's water bottles here instead.
That's not really true. Going to specific places for specific things is very different to putting one's head in the sand. If you make such assumptions about your opposing tribes you'll continue to increase social division, and that's the core of this mess.
Edit: Calm the fuck down. This is not where the war you want will be fought, and if it happens, you won't be depended on to make a difference until the attrition gets really, really dire.
You're right. Have always considered Australia the US and NZ Canada.
Americans fit in well in Australia so long as they're friendly and check their ego at the door. Australian culture is a big moosh of many cultures but tends to cringe at American culture. You kind of have to be more about yourself rather than be all about being an American, then you will fit in.
I blocked ML, then blocked Trump and Elon as keywords.
I don't see this behaviour much anymore.
Someone took the time to make this comic. Don't be that person. You're better than that and should enjoy much more enriching things than exhausting your energy into the black hole that goes no where, but you've been socially led to think is somehow important and noticed.
