"Put the centrists in control" as if the centrists haven't been in control of the democratic party the entire time I've been alive. They just want to keep doing centrism but without even Biden/Harris' half-hearted defense of trans people

β€œwhy is new york always electing crappy and insane mayors.” the mayoral sash, regardless of city, is an object that causes madness in its wearer. it’s like you’re asking why someone grasping the palantir with both hands is talking to sauron

For sure, there's a lot of jargon and it gets confusing! "Free climb" just means using ropes & gear for protection but not upward movement (that would be aid climbing).

If you haven't yet, check out Dawn Wall and Tommy Caldwell's story in general, dude is an inspiration.

Lynn Hill is the GOAT but she free climbed the nose, not free solo-ed. She had a belay partner and a rope. To this day no one has free soloed the nose because even Honnold doesn't have that much of a death wish (and he can't even free it on a rope)

In retrospect I should have cut off my ex-best friend when she called The Lawrence Arms "fake punk" and not waited for all the manipulative BS that came later

SpaceX is just Elon Musk playing a game of Civ where he’s somehow managed to unlock spaceflight without figuring out the secret of welding.

LEFTIST: Dude, you need to grow up and get a hobby. Start treating women like people and find a useful role in society.
RIGHT WING INFLUENCER: You’re a pussy. You’re a beta cuck. You’re poor because of the soy in your blood. Suck my dick, simp.

Anyone else start Oblivion Remasted and assume the leveling was the same as the original, only to discover when they finally slept that it had been Skyrimified and they had like 10 level ups banked?

Bluesky crashes when I try to upload the video but I swear I sent my "5.hard" crack climbing project at the gym this weekend. . .only to get completely humbled and shut down on a 5.10 roof at the local Short & Sandbagged Top Rope Crag the next day!

Singing thru an auto tune pedal in a rock band is already kinda cringe. But singing thru an auto tune pedal and STILL somehow being off key? New level
