  1. Another election night murder. You can't really blame the media's influence, or Trump hyperbole on this one, but I'm sure it didn't help. Google results LINK
  2. Civilized Europe chooses to not fluoridate their water for good reasons.
  3. The methods of survival and competition and it's consequences on all of us is probably the most ubiquitous human experience. Not friendship, or love, or religion, or appreciating nature. Competing and surviving is what we do here, and it has an ugly side from cavemen to now. The things we learned by surviving and competing forms maybe our strongest foundation of what we can learn by looking in the mirror. Fucking up is what we do, and therefore learning is also what we do. Erasing other cultures is a great strategy for having more to yourself. A superior survival tool because it removes the competition. We all (humans) did it. We still do it. It's who we are. Seek and ye shall find. When you're looking at all of our history, and not just some of our history, you'll find things that we can all learn from. Seek to teach us all.
  4. This is what I replied to. You didn't ask a question that I could answer.
  5. So, a Lefty is telling another Lefty how to Lefty? What are you afraid of?
  6. She's a lefty. You'll allow her to choose how she's a lefty wont you? By the old left/right metrics (which I accept have been massively disrupted) I am left wing. Not hard left, but definitely left of centre. However, I believe the left in the West has taken a dangerous and self-defeating turn, embracing a form of identity politics that is fundamentally destructive to values the left once respected, especially freedom of speech and fundamental liberalism. I'm not a tribal person, so I haven't embraced those positions because 'my team' has decreed that's what we're doing now. Yes, I've received a lot of blowback from the left for not meekly accepting the new ethos. But principles aren't dictated by other people's approval. I was never in this to feel part of a team (one of the undersung benefits of being a true introvert). So I won't be running to embrace a new team to feel good about myself, because that would be just as insincere as pretending to believe in the identity stuff to keep myself in with the left. j.k.
  7. Right there with you girl. A seventh team just announced that they wont be playing San Jose State because there is a man on the team.
  8. This is basically meditation. You're relaxing there and then a thought pops in. Try to not attach/interact with, the thought. The best tool I've found that works for falling asleep with an overactive mind is focus. It takes focus to not attach to the thought. Let it go by concentrating on nothing. Thought pops in, you don't attach, it goes away. Just like when you're meditating. Or, you could meditate before sleep. Sit there, let thoughts pass, when thoughts fade and you start to get really quiet, or you begin to nod off, just go to bed. One of these I like these much better than zafus or zabutons. To me it's easier to balance the vertebrae like tea-cups when using a bench. I like to put a folded sleeping bag under the bench.
  9. I don't like sand. It's course, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
  10. A general rule of thumb is never buy used electronics. That's not specific to life support equipment, it's just a general rule for buying used anything. Get your probe, shovel, and pack used, but buy the newest best beacon you can. It should last you from here on out. Yes, you might as well get a pack designed for backcountry. Some are designed to carry your skis using one of the carrying styles, and It will have the straps already in place. ex one with diagonal carry one with diagonal or A-frame carry There's always the wise choice of investing in an airbag pack and just renting the transceiver. You'll rent one that you know works and is probably fairly new. HERE
  11. This is why the left lost. Please post a link to your TikTok melt down.
