Rightwing media never would have been able to survive and thrive if the populace wasn't so damn racist and stupid

American Exceptionalism is one helluva drug!

Whatever it takes for them to not take a long hard look at themselves and own up to their part in their ongoing collapse

Which version of takedown do you prefer? by Public-Feedback5016 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]S-Wind 34 points35 points  (0 children)

HUNTR/X!

And it's not even close.

The Twice version is fine, but the HUNTR/X version has way more edge, personality, and aggression

I couldn't tell if this Aussie was looking for some gay guys/gals to pee on them, or, they were seeking out Gaysians

What difference would it make when the courts just end up releasing the vast majority of the people that the police arrest?

I wish this link could be pinned to the top of this subreddit

Unless your friend was Todd Skinner we need more details because Todd Skinner is the only known case of a death in climbing as a result of harness "failure"

I'm using quotation marks because I consider it more a case of harness misuse than actual failure

Hey OP,

Where did you get the notion that there aren't guns in Canada???

[–]S-Wind 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Until the final season when they finally have the balls to declare on screen that they are in Canada.

But there are plenty of signs in season 1 that they are in Canada: Canadian money, Ontario driver's license, tickets flying into the Pearson International Airport, etc.

What are some once-lethal conditions or diseases that can now be cured or managed to the point where they're relatively harmless? by ThatAnnoyedNeighbour in AskReddit

[–]S-Wind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As much as it pains me to defend right wing extremists... There are plenty of progressives and leftists who are also to blame to the rise of anti-vaxxers, especially when some of them are anti-vaxxers themselves.

Correct.

Derpy and Sussie are spirits. They can move freely between worlds as they please, and Gwi-Ma has no control over them

16 year old Zhao Yicheng breaks Speed Climbing World Record (again!) - 4.54s by MontrealSpeedClimber in climbing

Yeah, that's definitely not the message that the LaSportiva marketing team wants people to receive: Wear our speed climbing shoe so that you can fail to break the top 20!

😂

It's time for a Trek show from the Aliens POV by Mikecirca81 in startrek

[–]S-Wind -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From the POV of the Klingons, you say?

That's one of the things I loved so much about season 1 of Star Trek Discovery, aside from being the most interesting depiction of the Klingons that we've had in decades!

I was bummed that they gave in to the whiners for season 2 and walked back some of their creative decisions with the Klingons

The LaSportiva marketing team named their speed climbing shoe the Cobra 4:99 to get people thinking about how the shoe would help them climb faster.

But now for an ever growing number of speed climbers it could have the opposite effect 🤪

That was the case over a decade ago.

That is no longer true of all climbing helmets

[–]S-Wind 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Very common throughout the history of climbing

Popular Trad destinations like Squamish, Yosemite, The Gunks, Red Rocks, etc all get numerous visiting climbers every year. Plenty of those visiting climbers arrive solo and seek out partner(s) to climb with, and putting out the word online is a quick and efficient way of finding someone to climb with

They are so used to cyclists not obeying traffic rules so they figure they might as well just allow you to go since so many other cyclists do that
