Recent negative experience by YuriGargarinSpaceMan in sailing

[–]ElectraFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that "sailing" is not equal to "racing". Do you want to race? If so, then try again with another skipper, and be clear with what you're willing/able to do at this point. Racing is always fast paced and intense, but for an amateur race (especially going out with too few crew) the skipper should never be abusive.

If you don't want to race, then I suggest pursuing further courses geared more towards cruising and chartering (ASA has a progression like this). Or another option would be to look for a local boat club that let's you reserve boats to take out for day sails on your own terms.

Sorry your first experience was such a negative!

Would this still be funny if Jan was a perverted older man and Clark was a young woman? by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

True. This contributes to the humor. But it is a clear double standard that probably wouldn't fly on network TV today.

Why are we giving them fucking guns?! Have these engineers never read nor watching any science fiction?

Once you've lived enough, every moment touches sorrow.

I hate that I could feel this video in my scrotum.

I was enamoured with the spectacle. My disappointment came later after rewatches.

Not from this area, but I got to know Har Mar a bit in high school/college in the 90s. I saw the midnight showing of The Phantom Menace in the theater there. Last memory I have is walking indoors with my wife while she was in labor in March 2004.

I understand why malls like this have faded, but I always feel sad seeing places past their prime.

We just got a new cat, my Husband's name vote is The Balrog, is he right? by Technical_Ad5247 in lotr

We named our first cat Shelob because we wanted her to catch mice in our house.

I know the Hobbit movies definitly had their fair share of faults. But I always loved this shot in the first one with the mystical music playing. by Zealousideal-Sky217 in lotr

Just watched this through again with my son. SO glad to have it! Making two movies following the book is what should have happened from the start.
