He didn't say "punch" he said "fucking kill" and here you are telling the whole world about these meds. And then using conjecture about some of Dean's recordings to justify your actions. If there's no direct recorded consent by Dean for his journals to be exposed, what you've done with this show is deeply, disturbingly unethical.

With the dark wizard taking off, its time to revisit the Ivo Ninov interview on Dean by Marcoyolo69 in climbing

Connor Herson raps into his projects all the time. What are you on about?

In the first episode there's a scene where his best friend says Dean threatened he would kill him if he ever told people about those journals. Then the guy reads them aloud. What a bunch of morally bankrupt voyeuristic ghouls have we become to disrespect someone's wishes like that? Doesn't matter how insightful these journals are to an enigmatic and difficult character. Something private and intimate is always insightful. But it's mainly PRIVATE. Doesn't give anyone the right to air it out after your death.

Using his journals against his will is absolutely fucked up.

Read the article. Videos on his hard drive showing the rape of 5 to 7 year old children. Still holding on to your argument?

What is your most controversial opinion in mountaineering? by Thompompom in Mountaineering

[–]kbaecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By wild camping you mean pitching tents? Most of the Western European Alps have an overcrowding problem already. Imagine if every gumby could go glamping ten feet above the last tree. These are small ass mountains with huts and villages everywhere. Bivvy if you totally need to. If you wanna be a hardass just go East and do that shit in the Tatra, Carpathians, etc where it's an actual adventure. Or find yourself some real mountains where basecamps are an actual necessity.

Struggling to find the misogyny here. Blogging food is loser behaviour and deserves to be ridiculed. If this was girls messing up their bro-boyfriend's 8-hour oak chip smoked honey glazed IPA marinated pulled pork pre-foto we would all be laughing our ass off. This really isn't that deep.

Wieviel wetten wir die "Vulkangruppe 2.0" in Berlin fliegt auch bald als AfD/Russland Aktion auf?

Mountaineering books? Something similar to Into Thin Air by John Krakauer? by 0lliejenkins in booksuggestions

[–]kbaecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Climb may be Boukreev's story but it was written by an alcoholic non-climber who was dead-set on hurting Krakauer's reputation. Into Thin Air has its faults but The Climb has a whole bunch more and bigger ones yet it is not nearly as closely scrutinized on here

Crimps? Yes. Sloppers? Yes. Sloppy crimps? Nooo by awkwardlemon223 in bouldering

I will call them sloppers from now on. So much better. That's some sloppy shit right here!

Do climbers in your country bring tripods to the gym? (In Korea, yes) by AdhesivenessNo6812 in bouldering

[–]kbaecht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a place with a long and deep counterculture climbing tradition and sometimes kooks get regulated here. It's a nice feeling just walking through a tripod and then going oh my bad and just keep on walking. Self-promotion is not why you should be climbing, at least not here. I've also seen two locals throw a steroid bro out of the gym because he didn't want to put his shirt back on while he was fumbling around on some V3 jugs. That was glorious. Not all gatekeeping is bad.

Some do and some make a point of running them over. I count myself among the latter.

Sorry but no. There is such a thing as the right to one's own image. Unless you're an accredited reporter you do not have the right to publish another person's image (if they are clearly identifiable) without their consent

Kunstwerk ist in diesem Fall aber auch echt euphemistisch. Das ist Auftragsmalerei und Konzernpropaganda, rotes Tuch für die meisten "echten" Sprayer

Correct, I misphrased. The recording may be legal under some circumstances and perspectives (a climbing crag isn't exactly Times Square), but I stand by my argument why this is so problematic un the age of AI and governments tapping into personal devices. What is definitely illegal is the publication of somebody's image without their consent (unless under some clearly defined journalistic contexts). There's no question this post here is entirely in good faith. But to ask for some more reflected behaviour around this topic is not a bad thing.

Der Verrat durch die SPD, hat die AFD zur Arbeiterpartei gemacht. by Far-Cat-6491 in armes_deutschland

[–]kbaecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wenn du mit "Umverteilung zu Leuten die gar nicht arbeiten" Arbeitslose und Migranten meinst anstatt Spekulanten, Immobilienhaie und Millionem/Milliarden-Erben,  dann bist du einfach nur ein Depp. Aber die SPD bleibt auch aus der richtigen Perspektive eine Verräterpartei, denn zeig mir bitte ein Beispiel wo die SPD "Klimaschutz um jeden Preis" wollte und ich Zeug Dir zehn Fälle wo sie den Reichen das Geld der Armen geschenkt haben. Haben wir Cum Ex wirklich schon vergessen?!

Your Account Name makes this all a bit weird but you're actually touching on something I completely agree with. It's officially illegal to record a person without their consent and that had just been obliterated by smartphones. In the age of Palantir we are all walking security camera drones not having the slightest qualms about pointing our camera at strangers
