Bouldering was a breakthrough for me. I didn't like top rope climbing because climbing just felt like an endurance test (admittedly, I was not climbing well) and I found belaying both boring and extremely stressful.
But bouldering feels like solving a puzzle and is something I can do both by myself and socially.
I started seeing them in Sydney, like 3 months ago but suddenly they're everywhere and a store opened down the road from me.
And every time I see the name my brain pronounces BYD as "buy" with a "d" on the end and makes a stupid pun about purchasing one.
Would you give it all up for a moment of pure joy?
Whooooooos got a floofsky tumski?
Yeah, plus it feels like the trends for my age group are just the trends from younger people, but with a slight delay
Thanks for sharing! I ended up following it up with the video this creator did on BluScutti and this top comment from BluScutti himself genuinely made me tear up a bit:
"Amazing video scout! Its amazing to be in one of your videos since your videos are what got me into the Tetris scene in the first place."
Just fucking cool
Also the sole completely detaching
My family were doing a dog sledding trip and my brother came off and hit his head. We ended up putting him on my sled, with my job being to keep him awake in case he had a concussion. So I asked him to explain the rules to Twilight Imperium to me which, luckily and unluckily, took. Hours.
I've never hated, but been glad for, a game I've never played more...
(but I'm glad that you, and my brother, and other people get so much enjoyment from them!)
The manosphere shit actually doesn't bother me as much as the very casual, low effort stuff on meme communities that just make me feel completely valueless and like nothing will ever change.
Honestly it's mostly the very casual, low effort stuff on meme communities that I was thinking of last night when I commented. The incel shit, I can deal with. But it's the casual objectification, as well as the diminishing of anything outside of a woman's appearance that I find exhausting.
A lot more sexist
Bouldering was the first form of exercise that I've ever enjoyed
