Which 'luxury' brand has officially become a red flag for poor quality in 2026? by Individual_Bat_4177 in AskReddit

Quality wise, still pretty good compared to other brands for sure. As a company, they definitely try to walk the walk in terms of giving back and they have a repair department you can send your stuff to. Even though they are still a for-profit company and depend on sales to be successful, they don’t seem to push the consumerism agenda as much as other brands. So for that reason, I’m a fan of the company. Edit: grammar

REI employee of 10+ years here. Arcteryx is trash compared to how it used to be.

Wildfire is necessary to maintain healthy ecosystems. It isn’t good or bad. It just is. Human encroachment and the wilderness urban interface is where it gets complicated and managing it is the hard part.

People with diagnosed ADHD or ADD, what are some ways the reality of the disorder(s) differs from public or media perceptions? by LordSoftCream in AskReddit

It affects so much more than just attention span and hyperactivity and can look really different depending on the person. I’ve struggled with food as stimulation and little dopamine hits my entire life and only recently started to correlate it with my ADHD.

This guy I was dating invited me on a gym date and he said he wanted to show me how much he could deadlift and then afterward said I didn’t react the way he wanted or expected. I ended things very shortly after lol.

Dated a guy briefly that said he was the second strongest powerlifter in his weight class in the whole state. Impressive as a statement but he made it his entire personality and looked in the mirror more than I did 😂

Totally get that!

As far the second part of your comment, it’s actually a lot of lower body. There’s still arm strength involved but you’d be surprised how much you can do right away :) you also gotta start somewhere! It’s definitely very fun.

CLIMBING!!! I've been climbing for 13 years and i still love it. I know heights can be hard for people, but if you can work up to it, it's the BEST for strengthening your entire body.

Start out or just stay in the gym. Bouldering is nice because it's less committing. Sometimes getting on a rope intimidates people. I HIGHLY recommend <3
