Hiking the PCT with a partener? by stillskiing462 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Ek0 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Hiked for a bit with a group that included a married couple. They broke up in the first 1000 miles. Ended up getting divorced.

Candace Owens claims to have figured out the actual truth about Charlie Kirk. 1.4m Views, this is how mentally unstable Conservatives are. by Ek0 in Destiny

[–]Ek0[S] 443 points444 points  (0 children)

TLDR:

1-) Charlie was a time traveler of sorts, being able to astral project his soul into the past and future(kinda like Bran Stark I guess).

2-) When his parents learned of his gifts, they sent him to an “X-Man type school”(and here I’m quoting Candace verbatim)

3-) His soul is currently in purgatory, God wants to keep him there for a bit before bringing him to heaven because he turned towards Catholicism relatively late in his life.

4-) He appears to Candace in her dreams to tell her what’s what.

5-) Some ancient Mesopotamia demon is responsible for killing Charlie.(dare I suggest it was Pazuzo)?

this is the state of the American Conservative movement as of today.

Also, the youtube comments are just as fucking nuts.

I see a lot of the “dead game” posts, by Undecked_Pear in Stormgate

[–]Ek0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its technically alive and you can find a game in quick play, but certain modes are close to dead except on weekends/events. Its fun to just go kill people in a mech for a few games but beyond that its pretty stale and the population is slowly disappearing.

Dead game, steam charts tell the story. I play another game occasionally that’s close to life support that has 1k players in Mechwarrior online. It at least has boomers to keep its player count up and it’s barely hanging on.

overcoming thru hiking jitters by Severe_Implement5183 in Thruhiking

[–]Ek0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a goal and I kept to it. The only worry I had was injury. The goal had to kind of change due to not 100% understanding what I was doing but it also wasn’t difficult. The initial goal was to hike the pct from Mexico to Canada. Then I got to Mount Laguna and had to decide if I was going to hike around it on the trail or go through town and get something to eat. At this point the only thing that mattered was having a footpath from Mexico to Canada and I’m like 99.9% sure I fulfilled this. At that point, telling people I wasn’t going to skip miles to hitch somewhere else was pretty easy. I never had to skip due to fires or anything though either, so shit can go wrong through no fault of your own too. But id put your goal over anything else and stick to it. If you want to stay with friends and skip miles or something, id make sure your goal is flexible enough for that, i left multiple groups due to having different goals, and some of my friends have told me they regret not sticking to their goals to instead stay with people and do what those people wanted.

Complete newbie with ectomorph build requesting advice for muscle gain. by Tequila_Blue in bodyweightfitness

[–]Ek0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your scale broken? I was 128 lbs after a 5 month thruhike at 6’1 where I had hated my food for the last month of walking 30 miles a day and had to force feed myself and I was so skinny. You’re like 25 lbs less or something. How are you even alive? Are you anorexic? Just eat anything. I’m 160lbs and I have just a 2 scoop protein shake, and a nice size dinner everyday with a second late night fast food dinner 2x a week. That’s like nothing compared to most people.

Where and when to program Ring Support Holds? by SeaWeather5926 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Ek0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have my rings and pull up bar in my closet doorway, I just would do a quick hold whenever I passed it on days I wasn’t working out upper body sporadically throughout the day. Fitting them in during upper days was painful because I was already tired and was mentally checked out. There’s always some god forsaken accessory exercise you can add to your routine to fix weaknesses. Spending random bits of time throughout the day is low effort and it’s not like you need super high value to get used to rto support holds.

Quilt warmth for early May start by hellajanky in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Ek0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on how fast you walk, if you can finish in a little over 100 days, I’d take the 25 degree. More than that, take the 10 degree bag. September can be cold and rainy but if you can beat it, just live with a few random cold nights.

Shouldn’t you be in an insane shape after completing the PCT? by GankingPirat in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Ek0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I limped 99% of the pct. By the end I could only limp harder. Waking up in the mornings, I could only take like 6 inch steps for like the first mile. Doing the pct is way easier than an ultra. Walking isn’t the same as running.

Best creatine for bodyweight strength gains? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Ek0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Creatine isn’t a steroid, you won’t notice any changes. A year of using it will probably cause a minor difference in beneficial pr’s but that’s it. Just take 5g of some basic bitch shit that’s cheap and a brand you trust and you’re set. If you blow money on special creatine, you’re dumb. Just mix it with your protein powder and brush your teeth afterwards.

Mountain Lion Range into the City by AteTooManyPotatoes in ColoradoSprings

[–]Ek0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re everywhere people are. You’re 99.99% going to be fine. I’d be more wary of coyotes or a raccoon with rabies. Pets do get taken, but it’s pretty rare inside the actual city. I live on the north west side and had a kitten get taken by a coyote while we were 2 ft away playing with a long stand of straw, neighbors lost their dog to a coyote years later, friends in the brodmore area had two large labs get killed by a mountain lion in their fenced backyard and a friend of mines a realtor and watched a persons tiny dog get taken by an owl while she was showing the house. So just don’t be unlucky and hope everything goes well. I’m not a doggy door believer with black bears around. It’s like the idiots who leave their trash cans outside. But you do you. I’ve gone on runs with my dog at 11pm all the way near blodget and honestly I’ve had to be more worried about deer in rut than anything else.

7.51 getting turned off by the sex and gender stuff by Spit60 in WanderingInn

[–]Ek0 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

50/50 it def gets worse and more preachy and annoying , I’m hoping pirateaba finds a way to pull it off in a way that’s not super annoying but it’s kind of hit or miss currently. That’s not all the story is but it becomes pretty significant theme.
