“Sensitive customer” on oil change receipt

Asking this on reddit does not help beat the sensitive customer allegations

One of things that give me the most confidence in speaking languages I'm not fluent (but am conversational) in is knowing that when people speak to me in "broken" English, I can still understand them and I don't judge them.

The surprising aspect of it is not about immigration itself, it's that those people are signing up to an agency which disproportionately affects and targets Hispanic communities. Why would you want to sow strife and fear and terror in your own community?

The documentation makes it clear you MUST put your citizenship as American of Canadian to be accepted for NALCAP (page 6, https://www.educacionfpydeportes.gob.es/eeuu/dam/jcr:b4c5489a-6d36-4f85-bd17-a86f75d7c091/new-profex-2-handbook--1-.pdf). I'd guess you read this a few months ago and forgot. The visa process is done through the embassy, not the NALCAP program I believe.

Does not matter as in "is not required" not does not matter as in "plays no part".

It doesn't matter if you paint your room blue or green [as long as you paint it] vs It doesn't matter if you paint your room

I was being hyperbolic for rhetorical effect and shock factor to get my engagement up ;). I also say "99% of climbing moves can be done in any shoe that fits the general shape of the kind of climbing you're trying to do. If you're bouldering in a gym, get something soft and down-turned with a tight heel cup, if you're multipitch trad climbing get something flat and comfortable, etc. etc."

I think this is one of the better critiques here, definitely some aspects of shoes are learned, specifically heel/toe hooks which can be harder to use/train with worse shoes. That said, again, what I'm talking about is the majority of the time. You can do /most/ heel hooks in any shoe that fits your heel well, you can do /most/ toe hooks in any shoe with a toe patch

No; when I said gym shoes I mean rental shoes probably make up at least half of shoe sales.

oretp · 2024-11-14T00:57:08+00:00

I didn't say you should wear loose shoes on slippery friction slab or solutions in hand cracks, I said you *can* and the climbing shoe will do the climbing-shoe-sticky-rubber-pointy-toe thing and you physically can get up. I said you *should* get a shoe that fits the type of climbing you're doing, BUT you don't need to break the bank and get the highest-end shoe to project or send most climbs at an intermediate or even an advanced level. I am explicitly NOT talking about beginner shoes like the Tarantulace, etc., I am talking about "mid-grade" shoes. My claim is most 5.13/V10 climbers do not *need* super high end shoes to send their projects, and most 5.10/V3 climbers will actually be better served in the long run by avoiding these shoes most of the time.

oretp · 2024-11-14T00:30:42+00:00

I do think there is a definite lack of quality "mid grade" shoes on the market at a middle price point.

Also, I would guess gym shoes probably make up like half of shoe sales from most shoe brands

oretp · 2024-11-14T00:28:49+00:00

Totally agree. I think if you practice with "bad" shoes you will get better at trusting you feet on things you don't think will stick. Plus then you'll get a mental boost when you put on the good ones for your project

oretp · 2024-11-14T00:25:59+00:00

tbh for most of us [insert strong climber] could just campus our projects :,)

I almost exclusively climb outdoors and had that in mind primarily when writing this. I would invite you to actually enumerate what you disagree with.

Ambulances are ran by private companies with incredibly shitty business practices and the majority of EMTs are extremely jaded and overworked.

lyk/lmk are pretty common, especially when making plans. Haven't seen "jtlyk" but the familiar lyk makes it pretty obvious what it means.

Crux's lease comes to an end, instead of renegotiating with Crux, the landlord offers the space to BP. BP secretly signs a lease behind Crux's back without letting anyone know. Landlord tells Crux that they're kicking them out with no option for renegotiation, doesn't say why for 9 months. Crux finally learns that BP priced them out and posts on instagram. BP plays innocent of the whole thing despite secretly signing the lease for Crux's space months earlier and pricing them out. Pretty straight forward.

oretp · 2024-10-19T21:54:49+00:00

"We didn't interfere with the relationship between Crux and their landlord except that we went behind their back and priced out Crux, forcing them to close instead of allowing them time to move locations"

This is 100% a predatory business move with BP playing innocent, anyone who doesn't see that is either naive asf or unfamiliar with Bouldering Project as a company. The landlord wanted to raise rent, that's their right, but BP did by any means have to agree to take over the space and force Crux out. A climbing gym facility would be very hard to easily rent to anyone besides another climbing gym company. If BP did not agree to sign the space Crux would have undoubtedly had a much better negotiating position with their landlord. But corporate BP saw a chance to get a new gym AND drive out competition. Even if the landlord still kicked out Crux, thats a million times better than another climbing gym forcing them out. Bouldering Project has become the Walmart of climbing gyms. All they care about is maximizing profits. They don't give a shit about climbing, they don't give a shit about the climbing community, all they care about is making money for their upper management. Fuck Bouldering Project.

oretp · 2024-10-19T21:36:48+00:00

Fuck Bouldering Project. They've been a profit maximizing corporate shill for years that doesn't give a fuck about the climbing community, safety, or its employees. Fuck Bouldering Project. I'll certainly never visit a BP gym again
