War Room Lounge v67: Is Australia Real?

[tonni]

I don’t like disclosing my vote. Starts a shitshow of tying all my views to candidate x or y when I don’t know any politician I agree with everything on. I am okay enough to state I voted against Trump however.

So Gary Johnson it is.

Nah, he already disclosed it previously. He wrote in Marco Rubio.

The nerve damage sounds tough to deal with. But if you're an acrobat then no doubt you're strong enough (and safety-aware enough) to learn how to work with ropes and stuff. You could get on some easier stuff with a solid partner and it would be a great time. It's pretty great to be way up a cliff chilling with the eagles and shit.

Do you do indoor bouldering? I liked it, but the people...ughhh. I did it twice with some friends and we just went for fun. I looked up some videos beforehand and saw the difference between dynamic and static climbing, I was like dynamic looks cooler. One guy kept giving me advice I never asked for in a very subtly condescending way. I think he was trying to embarrass me in front of my female friend.

The color grading is different here, but I did like a 6A (I think) the second time I went and I was pretty happy and the guy came up and said ‘well that’s alright but if you want to do the man’s version of that one...’ I completely ignored him from then on.

A lot of skinny ponytail guys in indoor bouldering.

That neither addresses the racism against jews or your accusations that I, oddly, hate white people while being a white guy myself.

I don't think you're trolling half as effectively as you think.

I don’t know why you hate White people. You might be suicidal. I do notice quite a bit of suicidal ideation going on ITT. Maybe that’s the “cool” thing around here. Don’t care enough to understand more.

As for me, we’ve already established how much I love Jews and support Israel.

What they’re doing is derailing the threads with spam.

People who do that should stop. I certainly don’t condone spam.

Skinny ponytail guys that punked the hell out you, apparently.

Nah, he didn’t make a good impression on any of us. He got the message in the end and backed off. At first I was just joking about it but when I understood he was just being a dick I treated him accordingly. I’m a big fan of shunning.

I'm a big fan of telling people to knock off the bullshit.

That way they're out there remembering me, instead of the other way around

Of course he’d love that. Fawlty was actually saying the other day something about a Nexus, like he want a Nexus or something.

He is throbbing quite turbulently as of late. I still love his essence and will not allow him to falter towards The Ennui....

It depends really. When I’m working out I don’t like talking anyway so I just put them on ignore. I was in a good mood too so I was just like meh fuck that dude.

Sometimes I will just undress myself and once they see my downstairs mixup they usually applogize and leave.

I used to. Built a couple of garage walls and have had memberships at a couple nice bouldering facilities. I much prefer finding my own bouldering areas outside or road tripping to Bishop, California or random beaches on the US West Coast (beach bouldering is like the greatest thing in the universe).

Ha, dynamic climbing is fun but it's good for beginners to learn to climb statically first. You learn how to use your feet and explore balance in lots of different positions. But that dude does sound like a total douche. Unusual for climbers to have that attitude, you got unlucky I think. Most are really chill and supportive. 6A isn't bad at all for beginning, though that's considered by many to be the "start" of bouldering grades. There are 6A boulders on real stone that would have gym dudes shitting their pants. I was barely into grade 7 on my best days so I don't worry about the grades except as a broad category of like "easy," "possible," "hard," "fuck that shit," etc. The movement is the best thing.

I'm okay with boycotting over skinny ponytail guys though. That's just not cool.

I live in the Flemish part of Belgium. There are no mountains and almost no hills here. It’s flat entirely. I’m an outdoors guy but it’s really hard to live here and enjoy nature. I’d have to take a three hour train ride to the Ardennes.

What I liked about bouldering is that it tired me out nearly as well as when I did judo. I love feeling exhausted and other sports just don’t give me that feeling.

I might try it out again this year, it’s a 10 min bike ride so I don’t have an excuse apart from it being rather expensive.

Are you buff btw? Most of the indoor climbing dudes here are really small.

 

[JamesRussler]

You just said everyone does it and it’s okay.

The stuff he’s complaining about is not spam. Spam would be like ads, or “hey guys, check out my YouTube channel,” or something like that. Saying “Orange man bad” is a general criticism of the Left-wing view, saying that they oppose Trump because he’s Trump.

I guess the technical term is "shitposting".

In terms of the Forum rules though.

Different culture I guess.

If someone said something like "now try the man version" in the US, thems at the very least verbal fightin words

There's no doubt they're fucking with you

They would be for me too, in theory, but I’m having a good time with friends so I just try to focus on that. If I went every week, and he did it every week, it’s something else.

I wasn't ever big or anything, but wasn't skinny either. I guess just a normal build. A few years ago I got really fat, so I'm still losing weight and have to train for a while and only climb lightly. The forearms are by far the most important muscle btw, besides core. And really easy to work, with or without dirty jokes.

Oh damn, yeah Belgium is not ideal for climbing lol. You're actually only about as far from good bouldering as I am right now though (the area around St. Louis basically has none, and what's there sucks). If you ever road trip well into France, go to the forest of Fontainebleau. Some of the very best bouldering in the world, from what I read/hear.
