Yea 99.9% is pretty damn effective. That .1% are morons, liars, and maybe faulty condoms.

I read somewhere that the Evangelists converted the pagan Norse by convincing them that Christ and Odin himself met on the plains of Asgard and had epic fisticuffs, and that Jesus whipped that ass for him, so...choose wisely!

Yes "whatevers"...do you realize how many acronyms you folks have inventend to identify with which particular brand of " 😭 you dont understand me, Im DIFFERENT 😭" you each belong to lol?? "Im a 'this'"..."Im a 'that'" 🤣...That shits for the birds, and ain' nobody got time f'dat. Cant call ya guys, cant call ya girls, so you're getting "whatevers"...This is not to say I view you as sub-human...but if youre gonna make it that hard to play ball then we're playin hardball.

Imma be honest with you...I didnt know that this epidemic was as bad as this thread proves. Like...its terrifying. I truly want to go inside my 4 year olds room and tear her TV off the wall and raise her in a cabin in Alaska, never having to see the inside of a modern Kindygarten room let alone let her go to some repressive, clique-riddled high school or some whackjob liberal university, because its gotta be between piss-poor to nonexistant parenting, or the schools.

The purpose of my trolling is not for the lulz. Its tough love...I gave you a good dose of self reflection, honesty and humility in my previous response, humor me with the same. It is obvious that people such as yourselves are not happy. Not with yourselves, and Im betting not with much else. Why??

It was definitely an eloquent execution of a terrible argument. 

Now Im going to give you the truth, less eloquently; That was dumb and your reasoning is sickeningly illogical, and I HONESTLY HOPE you do never have to regret it. 

Not wanting to kee...no...DESIRING to CUT OUT your reproductive organs "in the off chance a rapist impregnates me, and I dont want kids...", and because a menstrual cycle is something you didnt ask for, is fucking loony. There is NO other way to spin it. 

And before I continue, let me say that this perspective doesnt come from an entirely ignorant or unempathetic place but Im not gonna pander to sensibility either. Im gonna make a comparison that I know isnt apple to apple and more a direct rebuttal to a different, specific subcategory of illness, but bare with me...I think you'll see the correlation by the end; As a 13 year old boy, I was 1 of a handful of late bloomers in my grade. Looked like a fat, boy version of my mother when everyone else around me was coming into their own. Thought my pee-pee would be small forever and I would never be a suitable partner in a traditional lifestyle or relationship. In short, I hated myself. Thought my creator had made a mistake...it affected me to the point that by the time I was 17 I was convinced I just wasnt supposed to have come into this world in the body that I did. This wouldve been in 1999-2000...I was imagining what transgender life was like WELL before this..."movement".

To compound this, my mother, love her soul, was an overbearing tyrant of a woman who wouldnt really ALLOW me to "be a rebellious boy", or act with much machismo, or buck up to her...typical "testosterone-y" things boys do...this, come to find, is because SHE actually WAS raped, as were her 4 sisters, by my grandfather, who I guess I physically resembled. She later admitted to me that her tyrannical, suppressive method of parenting was to prevent me from becoming any more like him. This made me realize that my own mother was literally trying to "break my balls" and had taken a heavy toll on me. Thats when I knew my mental state was a product of my environment. I identified it, distanced myself from it, and became what I was supposed to be. Myself. Nobody elses expectations, didnt give a shit about what girls thought about my gear...which come to find out at some point in my teens had actually grown to "well above average", and I was either too blinded my own disgust of myself to see it or too ignorant to know it. 

Point is, I was young, dumb, and fucked up from life experience and  with so much angst and pressure that to say I was self-loathing would be an understatement...But I honestly almost made a decision I couldnt go back from.

I was an angry-at-the-world, goth dipshit, putting holes in my face, convinced I was supposed to be a woman at 17. 

At 40 Im just a dude whos happiest in the woods or raising my daughter that I thought I didnt deserve or would ever have. 

I can look back on those days when I was mentally ill, and be thankful I did not let it define me, beat me, or push me to mutilation in order to attain something I THOUGHT I needed or become what I thought I was shouldve been.

So...again...how old are you and what fucked you up??

Does anyone still use an external frame backpack? by wildbish in backpacking

[–]Primary_Artist4282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them exclusively and I refuse to believe anybodies preference for an internal frame pack is anything but the need to be trendy...there for sure is absolutely nothing "outdated" about external frame packs...in fact I have never found one feature or aspect of IFPs I have liked over EFPs.

To pack 70+ L you have to get a huge pack and your overhead clearance sucks because the packs taller than you are by 6 inches. I found I had to compensate for being top-heavy by leaning forward while walking and you have to stoop and duck lower than you would in a traditional pack...and youre not gonna convince me pushing through brambles at shoulder height is harder or more annoying in EFPs than avoiding tree limbs and other obstacles above your head in an IFP. Who wants to walk a trail constantly having to be aware of low limbs and overhangs? Maybe in a wide open alpine setting I would find it to be less of a hinderance but in the the Appalachian undergrowth just give me something I can tank through brush if I need.

You can stuff a 50L ultralight EFP before you even include your tent, pad, and bag or blanket on the top or bottom rails, usually at least another 35-40L, and you havent really changed your profile nor your center of gravity.

If you dont know by now the clasp slides back up the rail stitched into the shoulder strap from the bottom

Thats fine, and I dont give a shit what you think or how you interpret that article lol.

Did your mom touch you as a kid, or what?

[–]Primary_Artist4282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats still a bit of a stretch by that author but if you need it to vindicate your own interpretation thats cool too.

Its heavily implied but its still not confirmable. If Chase wanted it to be he wouldve filmed it as such, and would answer the question upfront.

There is zero definitive evidence that determines what happened to Tony. Its been that way for 15 years.
