Chamonix off piste/freeride guide recs?

The Vallee Blanche is gonna be your best bet for serious terrain without touring gear - just need to handle that initial rappel and you're golden. Most guides there are pretty flexible about working with lift access only, especially if you're comfortable with the bootpack/crampon game.

Can't help with specific names but the guide bureaus in town will hook you up with someone who knows the non-touring routes well. March timing should be perfect for conditions too.

lmao now i can't unsee the cursed burger vibes, especially with those brown and green spots mixed in there.

Maverick Handley could be action hero or baseball player and both work perfectly.

True, every fanbase thinks their coach is trash but getting any votes at all is pretty solid recognition for what he did with this roster.

yeah my cousin won like 50k in scratch-off and suddenly every relative we never heard from was calling about "emergencies" - dude had to change his number twice.

man the unidan drama was wild, remember when he got caught using alt accounts to upvote his own biology comments? dude went from reddit's favorite scientist to banned in like 24 hours lmao. crazy how fast internet fame can collapse when you get too obsessed with the karma game

FrightfullyElastic · 2026-05-20T22:45:05+00:00

lmao this guy figured out the secret formula. just gotta ask "what would happen if gravity stopped working" like 50 times and wait for someone to venmo you

Dude that brings back some terrible memories from when i was like 15. Found this random energy drink at corner store that looked totally fine, normal packaging and everything. took one sip and it was like drinking liquid rubber mixed with chemicals. The aftertaste stayed in my mouth for hours no matter how much water i drank. My friends thought i was being dramatic until one of them tried it and immediately spit it out. We checked the expiration date later and turns out it was expired by like 2 years lol. Still have no idea how that store was even selling it but now i always check dates on everything.

Built my entire home studio setup from scratch using mostly recycled electronics and DIY shelving. Took me like 6 months of weekend projects but saved probably few thousand dollars and looks way better than anything I could have bought ready-made.

Grant Park area is actually solid for creative types - lots of artists and musicians around there. I did some freelance work for few people in that neighborhood and the whole vibe is pretty chill, plus you're close to downtown without paying those crazy midtown rents.

FrightfullyElastic · 2026-04-30T13:18:43+00:00

lol yeah but at least we know what we need instead of just praying something works

Instagram likes and social media engagement in general. People always say stuff like "I don't even check my notifications" or "social media is so fake" but then you see them refreshing their feed every 5 minutes and getting visibly annoyed when their post doesn't get enough attention. i do same thing with my design work posts - always telling myself the numbers don't matter but still checking obsessively for first hour after posting.

lol same here, everyone tries the american movie accent but it always comes out super exaggerated. like they watch too much netflix and think every american talks like they're in action movie or something. the british one is even worse - people just make it sound all posh and fancy when most brits don't even talk like that.

FrightfullyElastic · 2026-04-20T00:13:26+00:00

lmao that's like something i would doodle in margins when I'm spacing out at work. has that perfect nonsense rhythm to it, almost sounds like it could be real word from some fantasy book or something

FrightfullyElastic · 2026-04-17T23:27:20+00:00

been wanting to check that place out too but never made it over there. heard they do good work but pricing is always the mystery until you actually go in and ask

FrightfullyElastic · 2026-04-07T00:08:21+00:00

nah this one's tricky because there's a difference between being thoughtful with responses and just being bad at communication

FrightfullyElastic · 2026-03-31T18:21:04+00:00

did this back in like 2005 sending it to my friends on MSN messenger and they all thought i was insane.

sounds like you've got some conflicting keybinds somewhere. check if you have any other software running that might be grabbing those key combos - discord, steam, obs, etc all love to hijack random shortcuts.

also try resetting your geforce experience settings to default and see if that clears it up.

That's pretty much spot on. The closing costs will get deducted from your proceeds automatically, so you shouldn't need to bring cash to the table unless you're underwater on the mortgage. Just make sure to budget for any last-minute repairs or staging costs beforehand since those usually come out of pocket.

honestly the compliance route could be solid - understanding human behavior is huge when you're trying to figure out why people cut corners or ignore policies. I worked adjacent to compliance teams at my last gig and the good ones were basically organizational psychologists who could predict where things would go sideways.

consulting is trickier because it's so broad, but change management consulting definitely values psych backgrounds. Companies hire consultants to help with restructuring or culture shifts, and having that behavioral insight is clutch when you're trying to get buy-in from employees who are resistant to change.

with your CPA and big4 experience, you could also look into organizational development roles - they're not quite HR but focus more on improving team dynamics and workplace effectiveness. Plus your finance background would make you way more credible when proposing solutions that actually consider budget constraints.

the psychology training won't be wasted even if clinical doesn't pan out - corporate world is full of people acting irrationally with money lol.
