I also use one, but it doesn’t get loud enough

And, as a deaf person I can say that if you use my name at the beginning of the sentence, I am tuned in already 75% more than if you don't.

I just use a fan. Much more natural sounding imo

I’m not exactly sure about your situation, but you don’t have to completely end your career in professional sports. Find positions with your local professional teams. Maybe work with agents coaches or other people at a pro level.
It will allow you to live and breathe sports while still being relevant in the field if actually playing isn’t an option right now.

Reply to LPT Request: Dealing with neck pain for the past 3 days, what should I do next? What can I do in the future to prevent this? by DaisyClaims
Had chronic neck pain from poor posture drawing for a living. Couldn’t move my neck for 3 months. This exercise was probably the best one- along with strengthening my traps by doing static exercises. Pretty much put your arms in the air and use your traps to lift them up. There’s a study that trapezius causes a lot of chronic neck pain

Forget that pillows exist. Next step is sleep on the hardwood floor.

Just keep asking on the internet and definitely do not seek medical advice

I've found the opposite in regards to women. That whole shaved nonsense leads to a fishy odor. With hair, it's more of a musk scent if there is a scent.

Keep double distance as a car driver behind a motorcycle. It feels really uncomfortable as a biker when cars get too close behind you, especially in traffic.

Reply to LPT: When talking to old people or people that are hard of hearing, start the sentence slowly, in order to catch their attention and avoid having to repeat yourself. by 70Ytterbium
I grew up with someone who was hard of hearing. My father lost 80% of hearing in one ear and about 20% of hearing in his other ear when he was in his 40s. I also have a friend who started losing her hearing when she was in her mid-30s due to a lifetime of loud rock music. My advice would be to call someone who’s hard of hearing by their name or get their attention with your hand before starting your sentence if they haven’t been looking at you. Also if you are one of those who tend to mumble or speak very fast, you will need to slow down a bit and enunciate your words to help them out. Don’t go “I’m speaking to a moron” speed, just slow down to what is considered an average pace. Practicing patience will also make everything go better. As annoying as it might be to adjust your speech pattern around them I can guarantee you it’s so much more frustrating for the person who can’t hear very well.

I did check for one, and his dumb ass was doing a wheelie at 60 mph on the fucking freeway. Other drivers were recording it in case he died

Bathe with Epsom salt and invest in an orthopedic pillow.

A good (doctor recommended) chiropractor/physical therapist could both work out any kinks AND teach you stretches and behaviors to prevent/mitigate the problem in the future

Reply to comment by Prudent_Weekend9130 in LPT: Whenever making a purchase on a website that you see an “enter promo code here” - flip to another tab and search the website name and promo code to find discounts available.

Definitely worth a try :)

Check your pillow and work out if it’s coming because of sleep posture
Also, try to not roll or crack your neck too much while it’s sore, as tempting as it may be

Provided everyone follows every law while driving, fuck motorcyclists, they're just like anyone else and don't deserve special attention.
