Or maybe that you're not so special that you're worth endangering others following an unpaved path.
Multiple points along the Nepalese approach to the summit are crevices that have not been charted or mapped, or developed to facilitate rescues in case you fall in.
Those crevices are crossed by laying a fucking home depot ladder down over them to act as a temporary bridge.
This is not a climb that is ready for regular visitors. It probably won't ever be one so long as we continue letting people just be a fucking mess all over it instead of putting down the actual infrastructure that would be needed for the approach to handle the volume of demand it has.
It would even benefit the locals, they get well paying jobs developing the infrastructure, anyone who wishes to keep doing guide work has a far safer job ahead of them, and after the infrastructure is developed there's now also the newly made safe work of rescue jobs and in maintaining the infrastructure.
Not vegan but I'd wager most wouldn't, not even because of the ethics stuff everyone memes about
Breaking down meats takes an energy investment that breaking plants down doesn't. So people who are used to a low meat or meatless diet aren't recommended to go full steam on some carnitas first time they feel like getting back on the red and pink stuff.
Literally it causes heavy fatigue and tiredness untill they re-adjust to the energy investment, and if you're already feeling fine just not eating meat then what exactly would be the point of putting yourself through that?
And I'm saying this as a total beef and pork addict, my dad's pescatarian so I got to learn about sudden diet shift health effects from his doctor when he first went for the fishes.
Actually I chose to learn dialect first because literally everyone who knows anything about the language cautions that native speakers will swear up and down that you should learn MSA and then be completely incomprehensible to you because of how little anyone actually uses it in the Arab world.
I've been working with my teacher for a year and a half now and she agrees that MSA is basically pointless unless you intend to start consuming arabic language news or listening to arabic language political speeches.
BTW this is from a professional cultural expert who's literal job is to prep government workers and businessfolks to be able to engage successfully with the Arabic world, something she's been doing for 20 years now, so I'm pretty sure she knows what she's talking about.
Languages with phonetic writing in the modern day likely achieved that through a language standardization process that included spelling reforms.
English's changes in spelling and grammar are mostly legitimized through influential works of the language, hence why you all gotta learn Shakespeare in highschool, you're being taught the history of how the language we speak today evolved.
There is no centralized academy of English grammar, and official dictionaries in English for the most part add words descriptively to reflect how the lexicon is changing in real time.
Put together this all means that the English language isn't remotely broken, it's just old, older than most modernly written languages by a couple of centuries actually.
Funniest part is if you study immigrant settlements in the Americas from all those countries that underwent standardizations, they're all about as "broken" as English looks too, because they're forms of those languages preserved from before standardization came to their homelands.
Japanese and Italian are especially funny since the standardization came into enforcement recently enough that native speakers from Japan and Italy will be bewildered by speakers from the Americas because the speakers from the Americas speak in a way that sounds like their grandparents or great grandparents if they recognize the dialect at all to begin with.
I mean, you could get social media companies to turn posting off during school hours, that'd sure take the wind out of the sales of most of the most blatant things students do when they pull their phones out in class
Little derps get their news from that shit anyways, let's treat it the same as the 24 hour news cycle crisis and just make the companies stop for the parts of the day where people need most to be focusing on other shit. No airwaves, no airwaves occupying everyone's eyeballs and sending them into doomscroll mode.
Honestly that could be a pretty good gimmick for a new social media company in general, you can write, snap, record, photograph whatever, BUT all posts publish in the morning or evening "editions" and comments are open for 2 hours after (you can go back and comment on old posts), I feel like it could be an artificial scarcity thing, if people only have limited time when they can use the platform in a day, they'll make the most of that time whenever they're able.
The guy might have had a noble cause but the second he started talking at them instead of trying to change up the set or whatever it broke with being a comedy act and became a public speech, and you and I may agree that some people need to hear that shit, but what I don't imagine is that this guy went into that speech expecting the audience to be doing much more laughing before he left the stage.
That's what I mean when I talk about the audience isn't wrong, calling out bullshit is fine, lecturing from the stand is a bit self righteous but fine, but throwing a fit because you think you're entitled to the audience finding you funny is what I'm raising the point against. Not calling out crowd misogyny, but telling them they're all backwards hicks because your theory heavy set that doubles as a thesis statement on the works of Andrea Dworken sailed over all their heads.
It was a few years ago, like pre-covid, he made a big statement about how he isn't doing colleges anymore because college students are "too sensitive" and "don't appreciate a good joke anymore."
Simplest rule of being a comedian, if the audience isn't laughing, tell a different joke.
The audience isn't wrong just because you can't stick anything with them, and if you bomb out then you just sucked for that audience and that is also, not their fault.
Seinfeld at least had the common sense to bow out of the college circuit when he realized his material wasn't landing anymore, even if he made a spectacle of being a crying little pansy about it.
And don't even get me started about Bill Maher, if you ever wanna snap a Millenial or Zoomer out of a weed phase, tell them that if they don't stop they could turn out like Bill Maher, and those youngins will be sober as mormons by the time you've finished the sentence.
Or how about focus on actually being funny instead of telling your audience they're violating the sacrosanctity of da funniez by not laughing by the 3rd time you've dropped an N bomb like it's the funniest shit ever conceived.
