TIL that some languages apparently have words inherently differentiating one's status as a citizen or resident of the entity versus a member of a particular ethnic or cultural group? I don't quite grasp the whole thing, although I heard the point being made. What's interesting to me is a) that there is such a thing, which seems very revealing of something about a culture that would need such concepts built into the language, and b) that there seem to be people who think it's inaccurate to interpret the word choice as meaningful. Firstly, since languages have all sorts of concepts built into them, many very specific to their primary culture of use, it seems reasonable that such a thing could exist. Not that I would have thought of it before, since I'm not from a culture where that sort of subtlety functions. Secondly, if that is, indeed, the subtlety of the word choices, where one essentially and inherently includes people, and the other excludes, then I'd kind o...

ReplyDeleteIt really depends on the pain. Soreness can actually be good, to some extent, though it may be a sign you need to drink more water, as it will help the muscle mending process and thin out the lactic and other acids that can build up in tired/exercised/overused muscles. If it is really severe, just know that you body is actually burning calories at a higher rate while you are sore, so it is OK (and possibly a good idea) to take a step back and go easy for a day or two, otherwise risking actual injury.
ReplyDeleteSharp, throbbing, stabbing, debilitating pain typically means that something is wrong and you should immediately back off what you are doing until the pain stops, or at least mostly subsides, then re-evaluate how/what/why you are doing it in the future. If the pain doesn't go away or comes back quickly when you resume activity, it may be time to see a doctor.
I wish this was that "good" kind of tired muscle pain. It's that really sore wtf achy kind of nauseated muscle and/or connective tissue pain. It sucks.
