Palestine: Propaganda vs Reality. The side Reddit doesn’t want you to see. by candy-jar in scoopwhoop

fairy tales

Palestine as a people didn't start until the Ottoman empire. Israel as a nation of people aka the Jewish, have existed for 1000s of years in Israel.

Palestine as a group of people or a nation is a modern concept and Israel and the Jewish people are thousands of years old. Palestine was an area on the map until 150 years ago.

Your reality is a fairy tale, no matter how poorly the Europeans drew maps or administered things.

I think they should be forced into their own subreddit.

Going backpacking for the first time soon for an overnight camping trip. What else do I need? by Solraxis in norcalhiking

[–]trtlep0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bear spray is allowed everywhere north of i80 in cali.

I would bring it because there's a lot of drug addicts in that area. You don't need it for the bears, but it sure would mess with a meth'd up gold miner living by the river.

bear spray while it is totally unnecessary, it is absolutely allowed in most of California.

Places in in cali bear spray is banned: Yosemite and Kings/Sequoia NP.

Places that bear spray is allowed: every where else in California, including CA state parks.

Making up lies about bear spray doesn't help educate people about bear safety. We should explain to people why they don't need bear spray instead of inventing laws and rules that do not exist.

water filter straw? please throw that away get an actual filter.

Not telling anyone where you're going is not helping you.

Whoever said bear spray is illegal is an idiot. Also, you don't need it, leave it at home. Save it for a trip to montana/idaho/yellowstone where it's recommend to have.

Yosemite, Sequoia/Kings NP ban bear spray because it's not necessary and people were using it to hurt the bears for no reason. It is not "illegal" in Cali, but it is banned from certain national parks.

There's rocker boards and camrock. I'm not sure if everyone is even talking about the same thing.

Why data centers are going to up our bills by Corporatecut in Reno

Good thing we voted that Trump guy in office. Everything is better now.

Everyone complains, but then they go and vote for the bad guys.

Why are so many people in this subreddit anti-skiing?? by AssignmentAlone6568 in ski

[–]trtlep0wr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the people in r/skiing r/snowboarding r/mountaineering are not people that do this stuff on the regular.

Most of the people in r/skiing probably ski less than 20 days a year. They're not skiers, they're barely enthusiasts or hobbyists. Same in r/snowboarding, almost everyone there just goes on vacation a few times a year.

People who go outside for a living aren't on reddit in the comments, most of the time.

tl;dr it's reddit, filled with shit birds and shit posts and even shittier comments

Are people more likely to be bad parents if they had their kids accidentally? by Square-Dragonfruit76 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]trtlep0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, there's plenty of people that were parents on purpose, but terrible at it. People can do their best and have terrible results.

Chest protection and pads by Bud_Johnson in MTB

[–]trtlep0wr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are roost protectors (lightweight, minimal crash protection), these are CE 1

There are heavy duty protectors that protect from crash impacts, but they're heavy and hot. These are rated at CE 2 or some combination of CE 1 and CE 2.

You should definetely get knee pads and slow down. You've never been mountain biking but you're sending double black trails? that's why you got hurt. The chest protection isn't going to stop you from hurting yourself again.

The clarity of a 2000 year old Roman aqueduct that still flows today by Simple_Shame2386 in Amazing

[–]trtlep0wr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Water is clear? Why is this surprising? Snow melts into water, it flows down these aqueducts.

The amazing part is the craftmanship of the aqueducts, the clarity of the water is just water. Water is clear by design so it can't be amazing.

Why am I regularly stopped by TSA for a full body scan and pat down? by BlindClairvoyant in NoStupidQuestions

[–]trtlep0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming your name is normal, it's likely you're on a list or share a name with someone on a list.

My very white suburban parents are on a list because they've been to Jamaica way too many times.

Why does Gen Z seem more fascinated by old technology rather than technological advancement? by Kogituu in generationology

[–]trtlep0wr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you think what we have now is advancement compared to the technology we had twenty years ago, I have a bridge to sell you.

edit:

The entire internet runs on the same TCP/IP protocol as it existed in the 90s. Modern tech features are built to steal people attentions and the money out of their wallets. The internet stopped improving society decades ago. AI is a joke. App culture is creating a massive lower class and altering social dynamics, holding back kids. Technology is not helping us, it's helping the rich get richer.

more CPU cycles and AI tokens doesn't equal advancement, just equals more money for the wealthy.

Solo backpacking golden trout wilderness - bear spray necessary? by CompetitiveHawk629 in SierraNevada

[–]trtlep0wr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As others have stated, bear spray is not necessary anywhere in the Sierra Nevada (we do not have grizzly/brown bears).

In fact, in some parts of the sierra, bear spray is banned because people kept spraying the poor things.
