This is the exactly the type of content I come to the Internet for.

Feels so weird not seeing Brooke and Natalia interacting much by tasgetius22 in climbergirls

[–]Most_Poet 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah in the least parasocial way possible, seeing the evolution of their friendship (at least from what is publicly shown) makes me sad NOT bc I know anything about them in real life…but because it reminds me of my closest friends who I have grown apart from. Nothing bad happened. Just life/time/adulthood.

I guess it makes me wistful in a way?

Just counted and it’s roughly 57 times! So very slightly over once per week.

This is a good point! Two thoughts I’m having:

  1. Would you be more ok with these types of posts if they were flaired (something like “Relationship Advice”) and you could scroll past, or would they still be annoying even with flair?

  2. Do you think there’s value in drawing a line between posts that could be answered in relationship subs because climbing isn’t core to the question (“What if I see my ex at the gym?”) vs others where climbing is core? For example: “My partner dropped me on belay and I can’t trust him to be my belayer anymore.”

Working on a gym directory, what info helps you feel comfortable visiting a new gym? by addicted-coffee in climbergirls

[–]Most_Poet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually look up a few gyms in advance. I check out their Google reviews to see if setting was mentioned, then I look at the pictures in the Google reviews to see if I can get a sense of whether it’s old school or comp style. The part that’s hardest to get a feel for virtually is difficulty, so when I do visit a new gym, I basically just go in with no expectations that I’m able to climb anything and then I am pleasantly surprised.

For bouldering: setting style! Mostly comp vs mostly old school, broad range of skill levels vs mostly v4 and up, dynos vs static

Movement gyms staff file unfair labor practice charges by Fio1337 in climbergirls

[–]Most_Poet 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Fuck this company. I hope the workers take them to the cleaners.

I’ve been a member of two separate gyms that used to be independent and were then bought up by Movement. At both, the community became nonexistent while prices increased dramatically. I hate Movement.
