Imagine being in the hospital for a stroke, being confused and impaired, and THEN having a DMT trip on top of it. I’m sure any potential application for human stroke victims wouldn’t be that intense, but it’s a darkly funny image. Nurse, this man is having a stroke! Make him trip balls, stat!

Are you my BIL’s ex? I still haven’t gotten over you knocking out the WiFi on the bus we were on for four hours.

Oh sweet, it’s real? The state senator is right, and bless the people of Hawaii for coming down hard on that kind of behavior.

When a witness confronted Lytvynchuk, he said “he did not care and was ‘rich’ enough to pay any fines,” according to the complaint.

Props to the author for quickly establishing this dude is the worst type of tourist to come to Hawaii and deserves little benefit of doubt.

Afterward, a man “brutally assaulted” Lytvynchuk, his defense attorney Myles Breiner told The Associated Press. Lytvynchuk declined to file a police report on the assault, the attorney said.

So his lawyer pinky promises he was horrifically beat up, but was just too noble to press charges? lol

He said his client is being treated unfairly because he’s a white outsider. “The vast majority of attacks on monk seal and turtle are by locals,” he said.

Oh fuck off.

Maybe that’s true of other babies, but mine is mature enough to handle it. I’ll make sure things don’t get too crazy.

It’s so useless for niche topics it’s not even funny… which is the only thing I’d ever want actual AI for in the first place.

It’s clear at this point you’re not able to have an unemotional conversation about it. Your anecdotal experience as someone dropping the cost of a down payment on a house on a vacation to a place with serious, long lasting issues with the tourist trade and talking to two dudes you are paying isn’t the same as a team of journalists investigating. You keep saying documentary for some reason, which is only revealing you didn’t even bother reading the very extensive article I linked. If you’d like to discuss specific points from it you’re going to have to read it. It’s also grasping at straws to pretend using electricity in a city is just like the environmental destruction or human exploitation happening to climb the mountain.

I hope you find less destructive and exploitative hobbies in the future.

A good company costs 60K minimum

You get how that’s even grosser, right?

Don’t speak on behalf of the locals. I personally knew 2 different Sherpas

‘Don’t speak on behalf of the locals, allow me, who knew two dudes, to do so instead’? No, I think I’ll listen to reporting by the BBC, who talked to people whose livelihoods didn’t depend on telling them what they wanted to hear. Obviously some locals do want to climb, but you are delusional if you believe nobody is doing it for money to support their family.

Everything else you’re saying here is irrelevant, I never said it wasn’t physically challenging. It’s just immoral to climb Everest due to the local exploitation and environmental degradation inherent to climbing it. Outside of the nearly 20 lbs of waste each person creates climbing the mountain (the majority of which doesn’t get removed), there are also deforestation issues from locals over harvesting wood to meet tourist demand.

There is not an amount of explanation that is going to move me beyond those facts.

Any -book Internet related word usually denotes that it’s happening on Facebook, I think. So leftbook is leftists on Facebook?

What makes it fake is presenting it as the work of an individual, as those egotistical peak selfies and tedious biographies frequently do. (General) you didn’t make it to the peak, you were helped along by underpaid locals dragging around all the shit that is keeping you alive, who frequently lose their lives in an effort to support their families so some tech bro can get a selfie. It’s a gross way to spend $30k+.

This has been a long standing issue with Mt. Everest, here’s a recent article that does a deeper dive into it: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250530-the-everest-climbs-putting-sherpas-in-danger

I’d rather someone dwell in a basement than exploit local people, litter, and leave literal piles of bagged human shit in a beautiful place that’s dangerous to clean. The level of entitlement is beyond comprehension.

Mount Everest is a fake ass accomplishment for rich people anyway. You don’t carry all your shit, there are lines to the peak, garbage everywhere, it’s basically Times Square for CEOs who want to market themselves as ‘adventurers’. Slightly more death involved each year, but that has more to do with the weather than how Tough someone is.

What does this mean?

If true that makes Diogenes even more based for bringing him a plucked chicken and going ‘you think this is a man you dumbfuck?’

E: actually can’t remember if that was Plato or Socrates

Kennedy’s action comes at a time when many adherents of his Make America Healthy Again movement have adopted regular sun exposure as a core principle of wellness, with social media influencers encouraging followers to abandon sunscreen and build up their “solar callus,” or sun tolerance, instead.

Even if this doesn’t give you cancer, it’ll make you look like a California Raisin. In one of Lab Muffin’s videos (chemistry PhD who makes educational videos about beauty/skincare product misinformation), she has a great photo of an older woman who has put sunscreen on her face but not neck for decades, and it looked like they belonged to two different people. Same if you’ve ever seen photos of old truckers that don’t use sunscreen on their window side arm.

TL;DR: UV radiation bad. Protect yourself from the giant nuclear explosion in the sky. If you don’t like sunscreen, use a sun jacket or anything long sleeved with a good UPF rating.

It would also be easier to roll over and die, but I’m not doing that either.

Newsom’s popularity was in the shitter for a reason before he started memeing on Trump.

Depending on the composition of the soil it might also have antiparasitic properties.

This is the candidate libs are going to be screaming at you to vote for in 2028. Don’t let him make it past the primary.
