names are the problem

@tremorfan @JamesLNuzzo Hikes are easier when you know how long something will take and have seen the end before

@JamesLNuzzo This story makes zero sense. There is no way you had that experience going down and didn’t all die on the trip back up, unless you’re omitting something like “we hired a burro for Sara” or something. The hike back up is 10 times more strenuous and takes about twice as long.

The following is a true story from my life, which is related to the contents of this article in The Guardian: In July 2009, I hiked part of the Grand Canyon with an ex-girlfriend, who I will call Sara. Sara and I were both in our 20s, and we were accompanied by four high school-aged relatives/friends. The plan was to head off early in the AM to hike the 10 miles down, stay over night at the bottom, and then hike the 10 miles up the next day. During the hike down, Sara's walking was slow, and she was pre-occupied with taking nature photos at every possible opportunity. Her slow walking was a problem because, although we started early, it was July and the sun was starting to beat down on us--something that would only becoming progressively worse with more time on the trail. As I recall, everyone in the group recognised Sara's slow walking as a problem. Everyone but Sara understood that we needed to get to the bottom of the Canyon sooner rather than later, because we were in the sun doing strenuous exercise, and we didn't have endless supplies of water. It was also the first time any of us had hiked the Grand Canyon. Sara continued her slow walking and picture taking. At multiple points, we offered to carry Sara's bag for her so that her load would be lighter and she could walk more easily. Sara refused to give up her bag. She wanted to prove that she could do the hike without help. If my memory is correct, around the 5 mile mark, the group decided to split up. I stayed with Sara, and the high schoolers went on ahead of us, walking at their "fast" (i.e., appropriate) pace. Sara continued to walk slow, and signs of extreme fatigue / heat exhaustion were setting in. Sara became unwell physically and mentally. Again, I offered to carry her bag for her. Again, she refused. Though I was fit, I was also starting to feel unwell. In fact, I don't think I've ever felt that close to health exhaustion in my life. I was also not in a good place. Making matters worse, we ran out of water, and there were no water stations for the remainder of the hike. The key reason that why we ran out of water was Sara's slow walking, which continued to expose to the sun. Moreover, when we ran out of water, we weren't even close to the end. As I recall, we were still about 2-3 miles away from the end when we ran out of water, and we didn't even know where the end was because we were unfamiliar with the trail. Also, by that time, there wasn't a single soul left on the trail--no one walking down or up. We were alone. It was an awful experience. At one point, Sara had basically given up; she sat down in the middle of the path and wouldn't move. Eventually, perhaps through motivational efforts, Sara continued walking and we got to the end. When we got to the bottom, the high schoolers told us that they were so worried about us that were thinking about calling a rescue party to look for us. We slept over night at the bottom and then hiked the 10 miles back up the next day. Remarkably, after all that, Sara still would not allow anyone to carry her bag on the way up. Sneakily, when she was not looking, we would take things out of her bag to lighten her load. Bottom line: Sara's stubbornness, her desire to prove how strong and independent she was, her lack of adequate fitness, and her unwillingness to listen to people who understood nature, physiology, and physical fitness better than her, almost killed her...and me. She caused the high schoolers significant distress, and had they stayed with us, she might have also put them at increased health risk. During the hike, Sara exhibited a set of behaviors that I wanted nothing to do with moving forward. The "alpine divorce" can work in both directions but for different reasons.

@GoatRoper911 is this a retard account? they aren't 'renting'

Man, I just can't. I had to see it so you do too. How hard would it be to live here? What EDCs do they add to the water there?

@metoffice is this a fucking joke? the first world has too much money

The first trailer for ‘Pressure’ is here, the film which tells the story of the most important weather forecast; the D-Day forecast. Andrew Scott stars as Group Captain James Stagg – the Met Office meteorologist tasked with delivering the weather forecast and helping shape D-Day's plans. In cinemas 9 September. #pressuremovie @StudiocanalUK

@ThomasSowell Isn’t this what bacon bits are? I don’t like her but she’s talking about sprinkling ground bacon like a spice. It’s supposed to be a ‘take’ as in something you do or believe that is uncommon

Kamala Harris did an interview with SubwayTakes that was never released, allegedly due to how poorly it turned out.

@sethharpesq what else are you utterly wrong about?

To the immiserated proles of the Epstein Empire, this doesn't even look real. In the United States, "advanced" technology is a bumbling Waymo that won't get out of the way, or the Unit 8200 app that scans your face at the airport.

@brianonhere the author majored in 'creative writing'

@colmflynnire Leftists hate where they come from. It’s a personality disorder. If you are that old and not reconsidering your personal angst against the foundations of your culture, there is something wrong with you.

Belgium’s publicly funded youth radio station, Studio Brussel (VRT), featured a sketch in which its breakfast presenters smashed various items on air, including a statue of Our Lady and Jesus. I asked if they were concerned it would cause offence, and if they would do the same to a symbol of Islam or Judaism.

@GarfiedLoversFB @KristinCarrigg @AtALoss15 Do you think I’m saying the homeless people are foreign? Try harder.

@jojo2020 @KristinCarrigg @AtALoss15 The homeless in my area are not foreign born

Should we talk about how disgusting American cities have become? There's trash everywhere. How is this acceptable?

@KristinCarrigg @AtALoss15 what about import the third world get the third world do you not understand?

@AtALoss15 Honestly, this particular area that I took a picture of is trash from homeless Americans.

@matthewswspence Remove the LHWCA requirements

The problem with US shipyards is that they suck at building ships. It’s not a labor shortage, they’re just bad at their jobs. Productivity is super low, you can’t fix that with more workers.

@TheAudacity_26 @SceneinCinema To live authentically, you have to live offline completely

@SceneinCinema I hate that a group of pathetic losers who have no life get off spreading hate online have so much power over someone who actually has the audacity to live authentically. So easy to judge others for interactions. Not easy enough to get a therapist apparently

Barry Keoghan says hate about his looks made him “not want to go outside.” The actor, known for Saltburn and Dunkirk, revealed he faced “disgusting commentary” online, especially after his split from Sabrina Carpenter, which led him to delete ig. “There’s a lot of hate online… a lot of abuse of how I look,” he said. “It’s made me really go inside myself… not want to attend places, not want to go outside.” “It’s becoming a problem… because then you don’t even want to be on screen anymore.”

@AlpacaAurelius Do you think a dermatologist with a sunburn can effectively lecture a skin cancer patient about keeping out of the sun?

scenes from a dermatologist conference in hawaii imagine thinking the sun, the source of all life on earth, that plants turn to and animals seek out, that makes you feel & look better every time you spend time in it... this is insanity

@Ahhmmedd777 @onehandpolitics The US warned Japan of complete destruction before the first bomb if they didn’t surrender

@onehandpolitics She didn't standing up for her own country Japan when Trump made a joke out of killing thousands of japanese with a nuclear bomb. An Embarrassment to All japanese citizens. She must be removed at the earliest and revise diplomacy

This country isn’t real man 😭

@MasculineM7 of course... can't wait for the region restriction feature, india and pakistan go to the list first for being biggest spammers/liars on the platform, while most would understand that this is a movie not social media clip, you're trying to frame it like it's genuine incident

@romanhelmetguy would you rather have motivation in the form of monetary system or motivation in the form of guns being pointed at you?

@LisaBritton Society will collapse due to lack of testosterone and the great rebuilding will begin. Men will teach again.

I believe more male teachers could help fix so many problems… We need more male teachers! How can we do this?

@SenAlexPadilla when are we going to see an expose on Marx?

These are heartbreaking, horrific accounts of abuse. I stand with the survivors, commend them for their bravery in sharing their stories, and condemn the abhorrent actions they described. The survivors deserve to be heard. They deserve to be supported. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. There must be zero tolerance for abuse, exploitation, and the silencing of victims, no matter who is involved. Confronting painful truths and ensuring accountability is essential to honoring the very values the greater farm worker movement stands for — values rooted in dignity and justice for all.

@PeterMeijer Why do they say he had intercourse with her and then put (she said they never had intercourse) right after?

This is beyond horrific. Cesar Chavez was an absolute monster who used the cloak of civil rights to prey on women and girls.
