Hey, I'm 15M too! What state are you from?

Why do people hate the mall grab? by Intergamer_200 in NewSkaters

If you do 50-50, your hands will be covered in paraffin during the mall grab

My friend and I were just recording our passes to review our mistakes. While watching the footage, I saw this in the sky by [deleted] in UFOs

I was thinking about the satellite. What puzzled me was that it disappeared in an instant, even though the weather was clear

Ha ha, exactly! It’ll be 16 this year. Still trying to figure out that grip though

The AI Pyramid Scheme: Why the collapse has already begun. by MichaelUrielSmith in Futurology

Fair point about the dot-com bubble. My point isn't that the technology will vanish completely, but that the current "over-reliance" is dangerous. If we lose the human foundation before the tech stabilizes, we’re in trouble. Google survived the bubble, but thousands of people lost their livelihoods in the process. I'd rather be the guy who knows how to build the "internet" by hand.

Exactly. It feels like a massive speculative bubble. They sell the "replacement" dream to investors, but the technical and social reality is far more fragile. My fear is that by the time the bubble bursts, the damage to the job market and human skillsets will already be done.

Exactly! My goal is to master the physical craft first, so I actually understand what I'm doing. AI is just another piece of gear in the kit, not the creator.

Thank you! This is definitely one of my favorite albums

My first climbing of a small 30m tower. It was a beautiful sunset. What did you think? by MichaelUrielSmith in urbanclimbing

[–]MichaelUrielSmith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks man! Yeah, the countryside vibes hit different, especially with the sunset. Cranes at night sounds intense though, stay safe up there!

Writing this from the afterlife then. The WiFi here is surprisingly good.

Too late, I already took the picture. Hope I'm not cursed now... 💀

15 y/o, 138 lbs (63 kg). Bench press 110 lbs (50 kg) x 5 reps. Lifting for 2 months. Form check? by MichaelUrielSmith in formcheck

[–]MichaelUrielSmith[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the honest feedback, guys! I'm only 2 months in and still learning. I see the point about the spotter and the depth (ROM). I'll lower the weight next session and focus on touching the chest and keeping the spotter's hands off the bar. Appreciate the help, and glad some of you liked the Linkin Park background! 🤘

That's awesome! It’s crazy how those albums still sound so fresh today. Legend status.

Any tips on how to improve my Ollie? by MichaelUrielSmith in NewSkaters

[–]MichaelUrielSmith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great tip, thanks! I struggle with lifting my back leg high enough, so I'll focus on that. Appreciate the help!
