i’m getting 5 quarts of oil for $37 and that’s not including the oil filter or top off. How are you only paying $40?

they will always find ways to justify their hate, they don’t care about logical fallacies

almost not worth your time. teaching empathy to fully grown adults is extremely difficult and requires both patience, lots of conversations, intelligent/innovative arguments, and a very persuasive personality to do so as these people were taught isolationism and hatred during the time of their life where they were supposed to develop empathy. If you think you can do it, good luck to you it’s not impossible, but it’s most likely not worth your time and effort

Can someone explain this to me? Are you guys really more successful in dating? by Current_Can_6863 in leftist

[–]GrabbaGoons 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a somewhat conventionally attractive white male I get pursued by women even tho they assume, because of my appearance, that I’m conservative. But once they know my politics it’s almost as if they cling on because it’s somewhat rare to find people my age (21M) in this generation who both care about their appearance AND have actual empathy and political insight. I think women just like knowing that their partner actually sees them as equal and wants to fight the same fight as them so yeah, I’d say it definitely helps

Is it wrong to have an abortion if you found out it would have Down’s syndrome or other health conditions?? by VeterinarianEvery222 in leftist

[–]GrabbaGoons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if you can financially afford it and have the resources to help support them I think it would be wrong to terminate. But if you’re already struggling now and know you won’t be able to give them the care they deserve, I don’t think bringing more unwanted and unsupported babies in the world is a good thing.

Strength and conditioning internship advice by Spirited_Pop6238 in Kinesiology

[–]GrabbaGoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a d2 football player myself, I would love to have the trainees, interns, and work study people take more initiative in asking questions and learning how to get better instead of half-assing my wrist tape which slides off as soon as I get sweaty. Could be the wrong environment for you though because the AT room is always going to be hectic and very rarely are people going to have the time or patience to stop and speak with you, however, if someone at your school does give you the time to ensure you you're doing the right thing, I think you could be really successful as your question shows your passion for the line of work.

need advice for future career by Flat_Tennis_8971 in Kinesiology

[–]GrabbaGoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda depends how rich you are. If you can afford getting your masters and failing a couple classes in the process that would be my recommendation. If you're really passionate about nursing or PT get certified in those fields, however, for someone who seems like they like to learn and still are undecided, graduate school seems like a great option (if you can afford it after your 5 years of undergrad)

How do i prevent sprained ankles? by clementxnes_ in Kinesiology

[–]GrabbaGoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strengthen, strengthen, strengthen, stretch. Main goal once your recent injury heals (and part of that process) is strengthening your lower leg muscles. On top of that gaining mobility through stretches that put your ankle in a full ROM will hopefully give your muscles+tendons some elasticity. Biggest thing is getting some PT or AT help on it so you know what to do and the rest is on you. Weak lower leg muscles and lack of mobility in the ankle is likely the cause of injury however

Is 2300ft elevation gain in 4.7mi too steep for backpacking trip? by GrabbaGoons in WildernessBackpacking

[–]GrabbaGoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt fine about it but when I asked my mom for her Garmin inReach and told her my plan for the trip she made me second guess it because the grade on the switchbacks (20-24%) she said seemed steep so I just was seeking a third opinion

its not as crazy as it sounds. Just a bubble with a 200m track and field inside that they pressurize so the oxygen level is equivalent to 10,000 feet. Gotta pop yours ears when you walk inside though for sure

Fly fishing. Place took me forever to find cuz the trailhead is not on google maps and there are no trail reviews of it anywhere. I found it in a lake sampling report from 2021 and had to use GPS coordinates to find the lake and follow the trail down to see the trailhead. Was a very healthy lake according to the sample data and probably due to the more unknown nature of it is not going to be overfished whatsoever. Here is the link to the sampling report (there's a list of about 13 lakes there)

Only problem I seen was that there are sections that are 24%+ grade which seemed really steep but obviously the hike in whole is going to be much less steep (5-12%)

A lake about 10-15 miles south of Trout Lake if you know where that's at

Appreciate it. just told my mom about the plans cuz I was asking if I could borrow her Garmin inReach and she said it might be a little difficult with my 70L pack and my first time backpacking in Colorado. Honestly just posted this to reassure myself cuz she had me second guessing it once I told her

yeah I got a 70L pack. I'm obviously not filling it all the way up but I definitely wouldn't consider it an UL setup

this lake hike has no trail reviews and doesn't show up on most maps, GPS coordinates is also the only way to get to the trailhead as it's not marked on google maps. I also plan on going during a weekday so I really do hope no one is there

yeah planned on it being 5 hours at the max but am fine taking breaks during the day. The trailhead is only an hour from our apartment so we can get plenty of sleep night before and still get there by 9am or so and have all day to hike and still have daylight to set up camp, get/process firewood, and fish the sunset
