People doing remote software engineering/computer programming thinking they're dirtbags. You're not. And if you're working on AI or social media you are contributing to an absolute cancer on society.

  • Central Banking/FIAT
  • Democrats 
  • MAGA/GOP
  • Anyone who gets elected because they want to force people into living under their rules. That's sociopathy.
  • Michael J Fox
  • The Investor Class, especially the Boomers who hollowed out everything their children needed for a self sufficient society for a slight bump on their portfolios ROI. Actually, this on should be up at the top but still under rattlesnakes.
  • People who kill rattlesnakes 

I like your style. Can't lose if you're on both teams.

People who delete their comments for no good reason, which makes a thread or replies lose context. Makes you feel that it's a waste of other people's time to even bother to respond.

I think that’s on OnX. Once they started “defending the User’s copyright,” I’ve switched to delete-after-a-month-or-so. If they think it’s theirs but has my username on it, it has a half-life.

No idea if that was the other person’s reasoning. Just to advocate for everyone clearing comments and maybe even routes every so often.

So you're saying you still don't understand the terms you agreed to when you created an account.

Here's a start. But search any of the terms/names mentioned there. It's come up a bunch on here, but I don't know how many of the posts are left.

Agree, but it’s a subtle thing. I usually say trad climbing or doing something ‘on gear’ to mean ‘on trad climbing gear’  as opposed to bolts or natural anchors. I can understand the thought process there.

Just like when people say they went skinning when in fact it's skiing, just a weird way to announce extra gear involved,  possibly a humble brag

People shouting "rock" before trundling and "rope" before throwing while giving no time for anyone beneath them to do anything about it. Like literally, what's the point???
