That's easy--when parents and teachers start mutilating God's beautiful children. Or when a man demands I call him a woman under threat of career--or even law. That's when.
Whose god? The one appointed by the government?
I’m with you about children.
I’m old enough I can’t seem to adjust to all the “what people choose to be called” thing. I’ve tried, but failed almost every time. But what adults choose to be or call themselves, I don’t care.
bizarre leap you’re making there to call for firing all Yosemite NPS because a third party did a protest. They are removing the flag. Are they supposed to line up the protesters and shoot them? What is the First Amendment?

Sure is. Other people and what they do to their bodies is difficult to understand. When should big government step in?

Again, imagine a MAGA banner hanging from NA Wall and what the NPS response would be. And again, this is an NPS management problem. Fire everyone at Yosemite; rehire and reassign the handful who may not be ok with this.
Go hang a maga flag. Find out. My guess would be that some people would roll their eyes. And those people would be hailed as champions of your great autocrat. And then life would go on. Amazing “what if” though!

Nice Lucas! Getting after it 🔥.
Thanks for the inspo. -
Lots more info now on seattletimes (behind their paywall). For instance the 63 year old climber had done 99 of the 100 Bulger list.

Dang thoughts to all involved and especially the survivor. That is so tragic.

It’s awful tough to do anything novel these days. And the old people who scoff at you know someone who did it up hills both ways, back before the invention of the wheel (which makes everything so easy for the kids these days).
So you’re left with being the first 12 year old up Willis Wall.
Best of luck though! But the best climber is the one having the most fun, right? So try to be that climber maybe, I guess.

There is plenty being said these days I don’t like that I don’t respond to. You made a comment about me in a conversation with me. What planet do you live on where somone wouldn’t respond to that? 😂😂😂

"Methinks." Another sad tardanachronism echoing here in the dank.
You can think whatever you want champ! Doesn’t make your thoughts accurate, but then again it seems from this thread accuracy is not something you worry about .

I got a scholarship so I'm actually going to be headed to Norway for a few weeks to take a course in Norwegian. Past that, I'll be back home working and hoping to get in a lot of harder (for me) dry tooling in this summer.
Holy crap dude, congrats! That is cool I want to learn Norwegian in Norway! Where do I apply?
im seriously curious, though I’m past doing anything like that. What a cool opportunity for you though!-

Other than something @JasonG and I are gonna do I’m just planning on repeating some classic scrambles/ridge hikes in the cascades and Olympics. Probably do some bike packing if I can get to it, and canoe the Bowron in October and hunting in AK in November.

Strange views you hold on to. Are you poisoned with venomous loathing? Do you hate?
this whole thread is hilarious. What was your frothy rant about? Some people that were fired already exercising free speech? Yes I could see why you might hate that with such vigor. Oh wait, you spouted off without knowing the facts? I can see you’ve got the world figured out, you must not need any new information clouding your indoctrination. ☹️
Meh. As in why would either of us engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man? I prefer conversations about things we have in common.

Who can triangulate at somewhat close location as to where this scene was shot?

Who else wants one? I just need your address, don't post it here...PM me. Lets get these out there and in the wild, on your trail rig, water bottle, laptop, etc...

I respect your religion though I can’t say I share your god. You’re believing for both of us I guess. Is your god in the Constitution of the USA? Isn’t there something about separation of church and state?
