The escalating frequency of pickleball injuries has brought concerns about the safety of the popular sport to the forefront. A recent study revealed that approximately 90% of reported cases affected people 50 and older, with sprains and fractures making up nearly half of the injuries.
It’s hard for me to believe the benefits of the increase in exercise are outweighed by the risks of injury. I’d be quite surprised if pickleball didn’t reduce the total cost of medical care.
Matthew Lazinski from the University of South Florida School of Physical Therapy & Rehab Sciences, reflecting on the rise in pickleball injuries witnessed in the clinic, emphasizes the potential risks associated with the sport. He asserts that the surge in injuries can be attributed to people embracing an active lifestyle. He said the advantages gained from exercise outweigh the associated costs.
As the arctic ice continues to accelerate it’s thaw, water levels will rise a foot in the next 30years. This is going to continue as temperatures rise. Better move to higher ground Florida. Your state will look like Atlantis in the next 100-200years.
No see, governor rick scott (Republican) banned his administration from using the term climate change, just like governor desantis (also Republican, surprise surprise) banned covid. So Florida is safe from both of those without any action required. Freedom!
Who weighs their ice cream? I’m surprised this measured by weight and not something like pints or calories.
Anyways, I wonder if this has to do with the rising trend of plant based diets. I still eat ice cream occasionally but the vegan ice cream I get wouldn’t be counted as ice cream in this data (understandably so)
Keep calling out this deranged motherfucker. He's responsible for countless deaths:
During the pandemic, Kennedy has become a near-ubiquitous source of false information about COVID-19 and vaccines. Earlier this year, Kennedy was named one of the “Disinformation Dozen” by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which says he and the Children’s Health Defense website are among the top spreaders of false information about vaccines online.
....note that the Children's Heath Defense organization is Kennedy's personal charity, and...
The AP found links to Children’s Health Defense articles all over Facebook. While many were shared as posts on the pages of fellow anti-vaccine activists, many more could be found in the comments sections on pages that people turn to for reliable information, including official government Facebook pages in all 50 states, and in health departments in nearly every state.
“The vaccine was not created to save us all from a pandemic. The pandemic was created to get us to take the vaccine and more,” one person wrote in February below a North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Facebook post.
Then, they linked to a January Children’s Health Defense article that claimed 329 deaths following the COVID-19 shot had been reported to VAERS, a federal vaccine safety surveillance system that has been misused by anti-vaccine activists.
“Every Friday, the true American hero Robert F Kennedy Jr. pulls the data from the VAERS report. Here is the latest up until 1/22,” the commenter wrote. Another user replied that the comment had been reported for dishonesty, but it was still up 10 months later.
...as a result:
Since January, Children’s Health Defense’s COVID-19 vaccine-related posts were shared more frequently on Twitter than links to vaccine content on mainstream sites including CNN, Fox News, NPR and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to Indiana University’s Observatory on Social Media, which tracks COVID-19 vaccine-related content on Twitter. In some weeks, it found, CHD COVID-19 vaccine content was shared more often than that of The New York Times and The Washington Post.
You know what's really weird? RFK supported Sirhan Sirhan's release - went against his entire family to do so too. I think the guy has some dark daddy issues.
I read this story just to laugh at this loser some more. Meh. Not worth it. He’s just a stupid, boring asshole. (I’m not complaining about your decision to post the story, OP. I’m just complaining about the idiot the story is about.)
In 1986, the average American ate 18 pounds of regular ice cream, according to the USDA. By 2021, the most recent year of the data, that was down a third to just 12 pounds per person.
Whats hilarious to me is that Microsoft wouldn’t have done this in the first place lol. They have been porting their own traditionally exclusive titles to PC.
Cultural diplomacy should be positive, so that it doesn’t cast a pall on everything else that the originating culture does.
Cultural diplomacy is typically not a bad thing. Here’s a nice example: Thailand sponsors Thai restaurants abroad, with pretty golden elephant decor and pictures of the King. As a result, everyone thinks Thai food is great and feels positively towards Thailand. So, it is possible for a government to “propagandize” foreign civilians in a positive way, one that doesn’t harm relations between the cultures.
Chinese cultural diplomacy has turned negative: employing violent control of Chinese-language media to attack individuals overseas. This makes Chinese media a local problem for other countries, a source of disharmony, thus promoting the view that (e.g.) Chinese internet services like WeChat and TikTok are vectors of malicious attack, rather than cultural connection.
And so, a lot of people in the Internet security business now expect that anything from China is an attack vector. And regional & national governments are starting to agree — e.g. banning TikTok from government-owned computers. Relations between the cultures are harmed because of the visibly violent control of China government over Chinese cultural media, and the harm done to other countries through these media.
Well said. There’s a lot of nuance and I think this is a good summary.
As China, Russia, Iran, and various other strict authoritarian governments challenge the status quo of increasing democracy and peace, it’s important to look at the alternative they’re promoting.
