  • First thought: If this was done on purpose, don’t these people know how many bigwigs get caught. Like, all the time. Even martha stewart got caught. Jeeze.

    Why would they think they would special? One would think they would give it up at this point.

    Second thoughts: if CEOs, etc, keep this up, it makes me wonder how many people get away with it all the time, for them to take a chance like that.

    Third thought: they really think the consequences for insider trading are less problematic to them than facing jail, and paying a fine up to, what, 3 times the amount they made? That makes no sense. Back to the second thought, I guess.








  • This.

    You get some gear. It’s nice, but heavy…then you realize there’s so much lighter stuff out there.

    $100/lbs later your congratulating yourself that your base weight is 15lbs until you add food and water, and you realize that your pack still is too heavy. You finally shave off another 2 lbs by buying all new luxury items at $30-$50 a pop, and getting a lighter stove.

    Then winter comes, and that 4 season, dyneema tent looks mighty appealing. Not to mention you need a better rated sleeping bag (cause that hammock ain’t gonna cut it) and a pad, a better puffy and fleece, crampons, maybe an ice pick, and another stove that works in the cold…

    Edit. Damn it, I forgot I need new shoes…even if I wanted to brave it using my summer pair, those trail running shoes are destroyed over the course of 1 season.





  • This is the same way they worded the abortion bill. Completely vague.

    The problem is that when women took the law to court to, not even overturn the bill, but just to clarify the language and situations in which the bill applies (concerning medical emergencies), the texas ag office immediately stayed the courts ruiling that doctors could use “good faith judgement,” kicking the can further down the road till next year.

    The state claims that the law is explict in these situations and that the doctors are at fault for misinterpretating it, which is BS. The language is vague and they want to make sure it stays that way so they can apply it at whim.






  • Yeah. I mean, I figured out it was considered bad with the whole lizzy thing. Idk.

    Mostly, it was the fact that I couldnt decide what to do in certain situations. So like, I’d open my mouth to talk, but then decide not to say anything and no words would come out, so it looked like weird, jerky movements. If I was really angry, I would be shaking. Stuff like that. I mean, it’s not like the description wasn’t semi accurate, I just didn’t have the disability that went with it.



  • I know not the point, but…

    I tried entering the same name I use for the game for campfire and it told my that others would find it offensive, and refused to let me use it…it’s been a nickname of mine for something like 20 years

    Still haven’t signed up for the standalone app…can’t figure out what else to call myself :/
