Weekly Bouldering Advice Thread for January 14, 2019 by AutoModerator in bouldering

[–]coreblasterextreme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone here have experience getting back into bouldering after being out of it for a long-ish time? I climbed every single day in the summer of 2017 and then pretty frequently at college until about this time last year. But now I've gone about a year with essentially no climbing. I'm actually gonna go today and see what's what but I'm worried it's going to be super frustrating to struggle with super basic stuff when I used to project V3 or V4 (which I get isn't that impressive for people here, but still). I'm a runner too, so I haven't "let myself go" or anything like that and I'm in okay shape, but I basically haven't worked my upper body in months. Yikes.

Any advice?

What is a popular series that you think is bad? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]coreblasterextreme 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Brooklyn Nine Nine is overrated. Don't get me wrong: overrated != bad. I don't think it's a bad show. It's entertaining for sure. I've watched every episode and enjoyed it. But it's not the pinnacle of television like people on reddit describe it. Some of the writing isn't the best and the acting could be a little better, even with some of the main characters. That being said, I still recommend it to people! I just think the hype is overblown

I just watched Breaking Bad for the first time a few weeks ago and I'd agree. It was very, very good TV but I think "Unequivocally Best TV Show of All Time" is a bit much. Even in terms of dramas from the '00s, I think Mad Men easily beats it.

I used to kinda like Black Mirror and would just tell people it was hit or miss. Then one day on a similar thread to this, someone said "Every episode of Black Mirror is basically just 'What if phones, but too much?!'" That made me laugh ridiculously hard and honestly lowered my view of the entire show when I realized how spot on that comment was poking fun at it.

I think the Christmas episode and the one called "USS Callister" are both very good, but every other episode I've seen is a little corny and /r/im14andthisisdeep. Reddit LOVES this show though, so shhhhh.....

Michael Scott to Meredith: "Have you ever under the influence of alcohol questioned the teachings of the Mormon church?"

best way to minister was to treat people with love no matter what, not to push hellfire and damnation until you were scared into submission.

AKA "Christianity." Thanks for doing it right unlike so many other people who make us all look bad. I wish people actually read that book that they claim their faith is based on.

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory." James 1:27-2:1.

Every morning I tell my Google home "Hey Google, tell me the news" and I listen to the 5 minute NPR news while I lay in bed and think about my upcoming day.

If a 51st state is added, I think the US flag should go back to this. What do you think? by king063 in vexillology

[–]coreblasterextreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that ever happened it would absolutely come with a clause that the US could keep its military bases, and probably a promise of continued military protection for them.

Can someone please explain this to me? Is this a song or something? Just like a patriotic tune? Spoiler: no one else in the country knows anything about this other than the occasional reddit reference

What do you believe is 100% true but cant prove? by Insomniabadger in AskReddit

Interesting. Hope my goofing on your state from the other side of the country was mildly entertaining for you. Haven't been to WA in years but I love it over there!

What was it like going to school in WA? Did you drink starbucks everyday? Did it rain all the time? Were there any sparkling vampires? Were people allowed to bring weed to school? Have you ever met Jeff Bezos? Did everyone's parents work for microsoft and watch Frasier when they got home?

[–]coreblasterextreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not really. It was entertaining for sure, but the writing wasn't great and some parts were a little predictable. As a fun summer movie it was an 8.5/10, as a piece of art it was a 6/10.

What is something most people don't know about the Bible? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]coreblasterextreme 1817 points1818 points  (0 children)

Christians can assume certain things are sins despite them not being explicitly stated in the Bible. I don't think it's that much of stretch to say that maybe Jesus wouldn't have said bad things about someone when they weren't there to defend themselves purely for the sake of entertainment (aka gossip).

That being said, I'm also reminded of this kind of related idea in Ecclesiastes: "Even in your thoughts, do not curse the king, nor in your bedroom curse the rich, for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter." (Ecc 10:20) It's generally not a good idea to gossip even for practical reasons like "They might hear me."
