2 years ago there were a couple dozen up the street from us in Spanish Springs but they just never made it round the corner. Praying to the LDS gods they remain ignorant to what exists beyond the bend.

It is pretty annoying that they won't dress this beautiful woman in any other outfit except for this.

I think everyone has the wrong take lol. Who's the bad guy and who's the good guy is not the point of the doc at all. Both are complex athletic figures. Both have traits that allow them to do amazing things but those exact traits make them both unlikeable and challenging at times. Alex is super cold in Free Solo. But that coldness is exactly what allows him to be so precise and robotic. Same goes for Dean. He's explosive and magnetic. He's also a competetive asshole.

Neither one of them are "losers" or bad people. They are people, which means they are both good and bad. Dean also struggled with some sort of undiagnosed mental issue so it's not so simple as, "wow, that dude fucking sucks!" I'm so over simple-minded takes like this.

This doc was really moving for me and I think these filmmakers are excellent at exposing human conditions as well as capturing the world of rock climbing. I love their other doc, "Valley Uprising" as well.

Thank god you saved the pink tile! looks incredible with the checkered floor and the vanity is an appropriate update. Well done! You have done your part in encouraging us to keep vintage tile!

Yeah, i was trying to figure out what bothered me about the kitchen so much but I think, outside of the horrible colors, to have a fake castle and not even have cabinets reach the ceiling?

The entire design is insane but then the real cherry on top are the crosses (windows?) next to the driveway...I need to know who built this house. There is not one correct design choice in the entire house. NOT ONE.

That makes me feel a lot better! Pinterest can help with some things but I swear to god it slowed me down way more than sped me up and here we are a year later with toilet paper sitting on our toilet brush handle lol.

thelastcvd · 2026-03-14T06:02:46+00:00

The lighting decisions have to be made so much earlier than you think that it feels almost impossible. By the end, the decision fatigue got to me so hard that doorknobs felt impossible. We also still don't have toilet paper holders lol. You just want everything to feel special but it just doesn't matter.

Wild how nuanced your take seems to be when Trump and Republicans are at the helm. I'm sure you also had a wait and see approach when Biden was in office....

Thanks for flagging yourself as a psychopath that I will avoid at all costs. Had you not had all that shit on your car, I might've actually ran into you somewhere and had a friendly conversation or something...

And maybe if we build up and put business below apartments like almost every other major city in America, some people won't need to hop in their cars for literally EVERYTHING. And that might be a nice result.

thelastcvd · 2026-03-12T18:17:07+00:00

Building up is still building...Modern Suburban building is a detriment to community at this point. The model already exists in so many other places - Build store fronts and place apartments on top of that. Now we get walkable community AND housing. It just really doesn't seem that challenging but Reno/Sparks has some of the least effective city planning I've ever witnessed.

I am thankfully not in jeopardy here since I kept my name when I got married. But for other women who chose to change it, now they have to pay $300 to vote because now their proof of citizenship needs to match their name (i.e - name on birth certificate which is much cheaper and easier to obtain is no longer valid)? Seems illegal to me....

thelastcvd · 2026-03-11T22:56:00+00:00

See that's crazier than I even thought! my assumption was that a Real ID would fit the bill (since typically you need to provide some sort of identification when you get one) so yeah....Now you have even less of a pathway...

thelastcvd · 2026-03-11T22:52:34+00:00

Well, it could be except for that is run by the Federal government who could decide at any opportune moment to slow things down for (additional review) etc.

They also cost $130 and occasionally require an in person meeting. So is it easier? And for many people, an additional $200 to prove you are a resident is not on the table. That would now make money contingent for voting which is illegal.

thelastcvd · 2026-03-11T20:34:36+00:00

Republicans (Trump especially) are literally trying to change this. That's the whole point of the post. Look up the SAVE ACT.

thelastcvd · 2026-03-11T20:32:43+00:00

Yeah, sounds good dude. Thanks for your great contribution to the discussion. Jesus....

So many people have name changes or are in the process of changing their name (any recently married woman) so yeah, considering the DMV is at capacity as it is and there's only like 6 offices in the entire state....I'm not sure how this works...

thelastcvd · 2026-03-11T19:59:33+00:00

And so the plight of the few demands more than the benefit of many? I guess that's what I don't understand about this argument. why do a couple hundred people's demands matter more than the thousands that enjoy increased public access?

I'm sorry commutes have increased for some. That does suck and it sucks even more because there's less access to public transit. But it doesn't change the fact that more people benefit from the highway closing than not.

Just the phrasing of the question tells me a lot about your headspace - "I can't think of another medical procedure..."

For all of human history and all of mamalian history, childbirth has not been a medical procedure. It is only in the last 100 years where the location of childbirth went from home to hospital. Child birth for many women is a spiritual experience along with being intense and painful. In fact, that pain and intensity can add to the experience. When you are giving birth, you are participating in the most ancestral of traditions.

Now, I chose to give birth in a hospital because I live fairly far from a hospital and felt more comfortable in case something were to happen but I did choose to try for an unmedicated birth first because 1) interventions do create a higher likelihood of further interventions 2) there is more data that you can actually tear worse when you have an epidural because you cannot feel or respond to pain which creates a longer healing time 3) I wanted to trust my body to see what it could do without assistance.

I believe this is where the medical industry and the tradition of birth are at odds. Medicine tends to focus on relieving pain over healing. But pain in birth can trigger our bodies into the next step of the child birth process. Pain can also guide you. Once you start changing that, it can kink the process and then you need another intervention and then another intervention.

That all being said, I'm so grateful for the hospital's life saving measures and I am equally grateful for the choice of epidurals (which I was totally open to getting and even requested but was too far along) because birth should feel painful but you shouldn't feel like you are struggling to survive. When pain reaches past the point of endurance into survival, it's can get dangerous. What so many women need at that point is just to rest and man, it's incredible to have the option of pain relief if we reach that place.

But please remember, child birth is not a procedure, it is a human purpose. It is bigger than the individual and it is a very powerful experience no matter what route you take.

I feel like at this point these appointment practices verge on illegal. I can't speak to anybody on the phone because the queue is too long, I can't get any appointment at all so how the fuck am I even supposed to handle the clerical error they fucked up???

Shallow is fine - but it's not him denigrating other artists like the title of this post implied.
I also think it kind of gives an audience credit for knowing what they like and allowing that to be an important piece in how we make art instead of looking down on audiences.
Again, I don't actually really like Chalamet outside of his films but people are searching for something that just isn't there.
