2024.11.25 00:20 Cinnamon_Bum0810 I'm at my wits end with Maze
I'm currently on season 5A and she gets on my nerves since season three now.I really loved her character. She was intriguing and so fun to watch.
I'm not saying that she didn't have valid reasons to be mad sometimes, especially when it comes to Lucifer. We all know he's an asshole sometimes, but the constant betrayal of her friends is getting tired.
I can't stand her since she got unreasonably mad at Linda and Amenadiel for dating and I haven't recovered from that.
I know people will say that she's a demon and she's acting accordingly, but it was just too much.
The writers really wasted Lesleys acting talent here because it doesn't seem to get better anytime soon.
So Maze's constant flip flopping between loyalty and betrayal seems to be a hell loop for the audience.

2024.11.25 00:20 JohnnyLight416 PSA: Knee pain - pedal setup & exercises to help
tl;dr - go to the Solutions section
I've been racing for ~4 years (thanks, COVID). However, since February of this year I've had a couple of different knee pains that have occurred outside of racing, but racing made worse. Since I'm nearly cured of my knee pain, I figured I'd share some things that may help others with fixing and preventing knee pain.
There are more than a few posts about knee issues on this subreddit, and my hypothesis is that knee pain in sim racing stems from some of the same base issues I had: muscle imbalances that are benign otherwise, and improper rig & pedal setup. Hopefully this can help.
Note I'm not a doctor, much less your doctor, but this is what I learned from my doctor and physical therapist as well as my own research into knee anatomy. If you have knee pain, it's probably best to go to an orthopedic doctor and do some physical therapy. They know best how to diagnose and treat you. But America's healthcare system sucks and so do some others, so maybe this will help you if a doctor is out of the question.
Anatomy First, knee anatomy (from a non-doctor): your kneecap is a bone anchored over your knee joint by the patellar ligament at the bottom, and by multiple muscles (via tendons) at the top, as well as some supporting ligaments on the sides. A helpful interactive map of the knee and all its constituent parts can be found here: https://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/knee#1
Your kneecap is kept centered mostly by the muscles in your thighs, so when those muscles become imbalanced it can cause tracking issues and pain as the kneecap rubs on things it shouldn't. It's common for knee pain to be caused by muscles on the inside (medial) of your thigh being weaker than the outside (lateral) muscles. Specifically your VMO (vastus medialis oblique) muscle plays a large role in keeping your kneecap centered, opposite the vastus lateralis (the largest of your quadricep muscles).
Pain This may not help many, but I had 2 interrelated knee issues that racing made a bit worse and others may be familiar with. If you have knee pain, it likely isn't tendinitis but it was for me, so that's first.
- Patellar tendinitis: This presented as pain just below the knee cap (distally, towards the foot) where the patellar tendon runs to attach to the tibia/shin. This happened as I lifted my foot off the accelerator - my tendon was stressed as it struggled to hold the weight of my calf & foot in that way. There's not really any solution to tendon damage aside from rest, so I took a few months off of racing, weight training, and strenuous activity.
- What really helped speed recovery was heat, not ice. I read somewhere that for tendon issues, ice/cooling can impede neovascularization (new blood vessel growth) in tendons. Take this with a grain of salt, it could just be me though - this was resolved before I'd seen a doctor.
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), likely caused by VMO atrophy: PFPS is a kind of catch-all diagnosis for chronic knee pain. For me, this is a pain on the medial side of the knee, between the knee cap and the inside bulb of the femur (the medial condyle), as well as swelling in the knee leading to excessive pressure, aching, and popping. As my muscles atrophied a bit during my recovery, the VM/VMO lost more power than others since it's naturally smaller muscle and not involved in the full range of leg extension as much as the other thigh muscles. When my tendon was fully healed and I started weight training and racing again, I started to experience this new pain.
- My doctor diagnosed me with an inflamed plica, which may not apply to everyone people. Knee plicae are vestigial tissues leftover from development. They remain in ~50% of people. However, if they're present, they can get inflamed and cause pain when the knee interacts with them, specifically from overuse of the knee (like from pedal work) or from poor knee movement (like with muscle imbalance).
- Fixing the muscle imbalances
- Terminal leg extensions: This exercise focuses specifically on the last ~30 degrees of extension. Kind of like a half squat, but even less of the motion and isolating one leg. The best variation of this for me was with a high resistance exercise band. The band should go around the back of your knee and attach to an object in front of you - a door, weight rack, anything sturdy. The movement is basically a step back for the knee with the band, fully extending your leg while the tension from the band tries to bend it. Search for videos or images of "terminal knee extension" and you'll see what I mean.
- A leg extension machine will not be as good for this, since it won't hit the smaller stabilizer muscles. Ask me how I know.
- Stabilizer muscles are fairly key. So since I've been doing this for a couple weeks, I've started doing it while standing only on the leg being worked, using my other leg only to balance myself.
- I put this exercise as the first one because it seems to have been the final key for me to get rid of the rest of the pain. But it may not be your key if you have similar issues (or at all, if your issues are elsewhere).
- My wife just told me that these are similar to spanish squats. It could be helpful to do both.
- Sumo squats: I was always taught to do squats with your feet facing forward. However, sumo squats are done with your feet facing outward about 45 degrees and planted shoulder-width or wider. This helps activate the medial (inside) muscle in your thighs more than a front squat.
- Biking: Admittedly, this is more cardio but it also helps to tone your quad muscles. It doesn't focus on your medial muscles as much, but it's still beneficial and during your workout you can actively feel where your muscles are weaker (especially if one leg is good and one isn't, like mine). Also, cardio is good for you.
- This did exacerbate my plica issues at first because it worked the lateral muscles more and was a repetitive motion over the problematic movement range, but it helps more now that I'm more recovered.
- Others: hip abduction & adduction, various glute exercises like banded monster walks, RDLs, etc. These are good for general strength and mobility, and may help if your muscle imbalance lies elsewhere from mine.
- Terminal leg extensions: This exercise focuses specifically on the last ~30 degrees of extension. Kind of like a half squat, but even less of the motion and isolating one leg. The best variation of this for me was with a high resistance exercise band. The band should go around the back of your knee and attach to an object in front of you - a door, weight rack, anything sturdy. The movement is basically a step back for the knee with the band, fully extending your leg while the tension from the band tries to bend it. Search for videos or images of "terminal knee extension" and you'll see what I mean.
- Rig setup
- Pedal separation: I almost exclusively left-foot brake, so my brake and accelerator are centered. However, I noticed was that after my last (final?) rig upgrade to an ASR 6, my knee still wasn't doing great and started a bit in my other leg. When I set up the rig at first, I measured my feet while relaxed and standing, then replicated that distance on the pedals. That's not what you want. Instead, you want your pedals to be closer together (in my case, 3 inches closer, ~4-4.5 inches apart) so that your medial muscles are activated a bit more just keeping your legs together.
- Pedal distance: I'm sure a lot of people have seen the image floating around of the recommended setup, but I hadn't seen that at the time. Make sure your pedals are set up so that when you push your pedals down, your legs are close to fully extended, but not so much that it feels like you're stretching to reach them. Also, make sure you're not pushing your butt forward in your chair to reach them, or your back will hurt during longer sessions.
- Pedal angle: this is related to distance, but they should be angled so that you can comfortably keep your feet off both of them without too much strain on your ankle, but still press fully down without too much work or stretching.
- If you can adjust the foot rest, I've found that a sizeable amount of slope upward helps reduce pressure on my heel. Also cheap water shoes take some adjusting to but help with longer stints - they just leave a small mess of gray rubber on my foot rest I have to vacuum up periodically.
- Seat height & angle: also related to pedal distance and angle, but angling your seat upwards a good amount to support your thighs helps relieve some of the stress (and I've noticed it helps all the right muscles activate, but maybe that's just me). I've also put my seat as high up as it'll go in the rig
- My rig is an ASR 6 with the ASR bucket seat, but no sliders. I recommend having the seat in the brackets backwards to the official pictures: the taller, longer slots should be in the front. I also have them at the max angle - so the front is at the top and rear is at the bottom. And vertically it's as high as it'll go - the 2 4.5"x1.5" pieces at the bottom of the seat connected to the middle and top slots of the base.

2024.11.25 00:20 Character-Mix-6974 started to accept i’m probably autistic - now what?
i (23 f) have just begun coming to terms with the fact that i am most likely autistic. putting a name to the different-ness i’ve felt my whole life is a relief, but also, i feel unmoored and unsure about what to do with this information. i want to make whatever changes i can to make life easier for myself, but i really don’t know what that looks like for me. i realize that every autistic person is different, and there’s no user manual for going through this. but i’m curious - when you got a diagnosis or realized you were likely autistic, what (if anything) did you start differently? as in, what accommodations, big or small, did you set up for yourself? or, if you didn’t make any external changes, what did you start thinking about differently?

2024.11.25 00:20 ComfortableBody6553 Maintenance Melbourne
Hi all,
I’ve been on ozempic/wegovy since June and have lost 10.5kg, I went to see the doctor today and my bmi is 26, she wants me to completely stop when I get to a bmi of 25 😬
I have pcos so I find it hard to keep the weight off even with diet and exercise (I’m a qualified pt so have a good idea of what I need to do). Is there anyone from north/north west Melbourne (Tullamarine etc) that can recommend a doctor for the maintenance phase of my journey as I’m hoping to lower the dose and not completely stop taking it.
