    My back got so messed up after I turned 30.

    But then I just bought a new bed and mattress and I’m good as new 😂 apparently my box spring and bed rails were just broken.

      Rad tech here: most people who have this phenomenon have arthritic knees from being fat. Internet disclaimer: I DIDN’T SAY ALL. But a huge number of people get to 30s or 40s and are overweight or have been for a significant part of their life and have worn out their knees at an early age. Then they come to get xrays with “idiopathic” knee pain.

      Honestly I thought it was appropriate. Aang, a freaking teenager, has an entire mini arc about the moral canundrum of having to kill someone while the fate of the entire world rests upon his shoulders. They also established how strongly it was against his religion to kill anything, and that he’s a vegetarian.

      Obviously it was a copout in that they can’t show a character being directly killed in a spectacular enough fashion for a series finale on a children’s show, but ultimately weakening the big bad evil guy and taking away all of his power, politically, physically and emotionally. That’s a great place to end it and so very in character for Aang

    Yeah, but at 50 you become an antique, which means people want you just as beat up and scarred as you happen to be, but they’ll pay less for you depending on how much scarring and beating you have.
