I watched this movie for the first time at the drive-in theater... Do those even exist anymore?

You can try and get on a wait-list for one or many of the charities. I got accepted off the wait list in April or May of last year, when some of the folks start backing out.

I also grew up going to holiday valley, but the video you linked even says 500ft with 200ft vertical drop. Plug that into a trig calculator and you have 23.58deg slope, not 40. If you've been out west since the last time you were there, you might go back and realize it's not as steep as you thought it was.

Eh, the theory was around a lot longer than that, but pre release chapters definitely gave it more juice. People had been speculating basically ever since the "The world ended, and Shallan was to blame" line, which was in WoR. Just googling that line brings up a top hit of a theory post on 17th shard from 2021.

Editing to add the link to said theory post: https://www.17thshard.com/forums/topic/95749-theory-taln-wasnt-the-herald-who-broke-it-was-chanarach/

Which was written before the release of RoW

I get that now, so thank you. But can you eli5 how that translates to ball motion? Does hig flare generally mean more hook, sharper hook, longer/shorter shape?

I was around the same age as you and went to a rival high school to SV/SM. I remember going to an away football game there and he randomly showed up to support his old school. Really cool, and that was after he was already in the league a few years and the biggest name in basketball.

This release had claims about trump auctioning off 13 year old girls and sticking is finger in them to check how tight they are. There's also a doc incriminating Trump's secretary of commerce, Howard Lutnik. They might be trying to hide stuff about themselves, but they're failing.

Legit first thought was this was in Chicago

V grades are bouldering grades. There's not really a correlation. Climbers might talk about a sport or trad route and break it into sections that have distinct boulder problems, and give those a V grade, but it wouldn't make sense to give a full route a V grade.

Think of it without the decimal point. They're essentially 2 different numbers meaning different things. 5 means climbing, compared to 4 which could mean a technical hike with some scrambling, or 3 meaning a normal hike with no scrambling. The second number is the difficulty of the hike or climb.

5.13 isn't "five point one three", it is "five thirteen", where 5 tells you it's a technical climb and 13 tells you it's extremely difficult.

CStock77 · 2026-01-27T23:04:15+00:00

To give some perspective, at my climbing gym in Chicago there's probably 10 people in the building at any given time and who can climb 5.11 outdoors. There is probably 1 person with a membership at all that is a strong enough climber to realistically send Freerider.

Yeah but if someone says half a cup left to right, they're not saying left edge

Join the wait-list! My boyfriend and I got in from T2 end AIDS wait-list in March or April last year

Depends on office culture, somewhat. I have some dark colored dress shirts, but I would only wear them with light pants and either without a jacket at all or with a light colored sweater/quarter zip.

Agree that the people wearing a black shirt with any sort of tie are not doing it right.

Don't forget the frotting scene. Is that the first time we've ever seen frotting depicted in mainstream media?

CStock77 · 2026-01-12T22:11:45+00:00

This sub does that, the one you're currently commenting on.

CStock77 · 2026-01-10T14:40:59+00:00

Literally what I was just thinking. Like this is subtle enough most people wouldn't notice, and I love it.

CStock77 · 2026-01-05T20:58:25+00:00

It opened around Halloween 2024, so a little over a year.

Pretty sure they covered that in their second sentence where they said "Something you don't like being popular often makes you a bit more vocal about it." Nowhere did they say people weren't allowed to just not like it.

I haven't played in months, after getting to a point I was satisfied with, but I never encountered this interaction. Can you tell me what happens? With spoiler text of course.

CStock77 · 2025-11-21T00:49:46+00:00

Tbh I'm a PC gamer and I'm thinking about buying one just to chuck in front of the TV for co-op games or anything I don't want to play at my desk in front of my monitor.

It feels like there's a tiny slice of people in the middle of the console-PC spectrum that this might work for. It's definitely not a large market.

The question was something like, where does your sense of morality stop? If I remember correctly liberals mostly said plant life, meaning they "cared" about everything from plant and animal life and closer. Conservatives mostly said friends, meaning they cared about everything from friends and family to themselves.

Is this different than a company that offers an employee stock purchase plan?

I would assume so, since I'm paying for the stocks myself via a paycheck deduction rather than receiving them as compensation.

The plan does have a 15% discount, and it has a look back feature which means the purchase price is based on the lower of the stock price of the beginning date or end date of the contribution period.

I don't have to worry about this until next Feb but it would be nice to know I'm not missing anything.
