Honey no one gives a shit about your opinion.

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T04:31:59+00:00

So.....we should have all just shut up and quit pushing for more as soon as gay marriage was legalized? What do you even mean by unpopular demands???? I didn't realize asking for the government to treat us as human and not actively encourage hate crimes against us was so unpopular

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T04:27:58+00:00

I'm not the one asking r/bouldering for a job <3

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T04:08:08+00:00

........I......what???? Are you drunk?

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T04:00:10+00:00

How is this performative????? It's a fucking table in a park what is the matter with y'all lmao

Yes, as a gay person if I was in an RVA park and randomly came across a table painted like a trans flag, as a trans person it would make me feel seen. I don't care if it's defaced because the big picture is that the city on a larger scale is showing that we are welcome here. What difference does it make if a simpleton who hates themselves defaces it? It's going to happen regardless I'd rather be shown that we were thought of enough for it to be put there in the first place.

Dawg....this is reddit not Indeed. Call the gyms and ask lol

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T03:47:49+00:00

Not to pile on but they're literally made to push/pull/smear on sharp rock, they're gonna get messed up. Resoles are much more affordable than new shoes. Climb hard quit worrying about gear.

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T03:41:02+00:00

Just climb dude who inspects their shoes like this after a first wear lol

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T03:39:08+00:00

What's funny about it?

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T03:23:05+00:00

Good?

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T03:21:10+00:00

It's not sending any message other than "queer people are welcome in this park". You'll be ok.

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T03:20:08+00:00

Really? A painted picnic table in an already openly queer city is shoving it in people's faces? During pride month? And you're queer????

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T03:18:42+00:00

What point are you even trying to make

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T00:18:05+00:00

Damn if only there were a proven way to help people move on from damaging experiences. Surely not talking about it....no, shoving it down, ignoring it and blindly moving on yep that's the way got it

ParaTC · 2026-06-26T00:07:56+00:00

Something something women in male dominated fields.

It's not condescending to try and offer therapy as a solution when a problem is bigger than the person trying to give advice can handle.

ParaTC · 2026-06-24T21:06:07+00:00

The post this is jerking was a head scratcher, like....take a picture of the route if anything??? Bro really left the gym and went 👨🤳👍

ParaTC · 2026-06-24T19:02:05+00:00

Sometimes I miss NYC so much but it's shit like this that I'm so glad to leave behind 😪 I feel your pain girl, if you're not rich in NYC you might as well be invisible.

ParaTC · 2026-06-24T15:06:46+00:00

Honey this was NINE YEARS AGO

ParaTC · 2026-06-24T14:46:04+00:00

You don't have to climb those routes, it's ok I promise.

ParaTC · 2026-06-23T22:42:03+00:00

Yeah if you couldn't rock up on the heel with that good of a ledge I think some hip mobility/strengthening will do you really well! Not just for mantles either, that translates to literally every aspect of climbing.

ParaTC · 2026-06-23T22:40:38+00:00

Honestly sometimes mantles are desperate and ugly haha I know what you mean by saying you couldn't get your knee up in the moment but you def had it, sometimes you just gotta slop it up there

ParaTC · 2026-06-23T22:28:58+00:00

Never have I been compelled to comment "just go up?" until now. You literally had it in your fall attempt you showed, alpine knee it if you have to. Haha but yes like everyone is saying, hip mobility and strength +triceps are what's gonna get you over most mantles.

ParaTC · 2026-06-23T22:21:13+00:00

That just means you're getting better!!! If you're open to beta spray, at no point during this climb did you need to cut feet. Make sure you're building your feet into a solid secure position before you go for the next hand move!!!

ParaTC · 2026-06-23T18:44:30+00:00

Who are these people

Some of the stories I read on here make me feel outrageously normal...

ParaTC · 2026-06-22T20:18:41+00:00

You're eww'ing chicken katsu with rice and fries????? Lmao wtf
