I met my fiance on tinder. Dating apps aren't that bad if you are mildly socially aware and can engage in anything more than small talk with a stranger

That last paragraph has to be a bit right? You don't actually believe that crap.

Rain washes dust and said dust would have little impact on the efficacy of solar panels en masse in application.

1 cop? Sure. A ton of undercover cops all at once? Much different story.

Lol reading some comments in this thread makes me think that ad actually worked for a lot of people. "who's gonna pay for it?"
All of us and our grandkids if we don't get the fuck out of conventional energy methods ASAP when the planet starts running out of water and food.

Dust? Are you living in some different part of the state? Where have you seen large dust clouds from the interstate in any season other than a few short weeks in late spring when the salt and sand is dry on the roads?

Parka. A vest is suitable for indoors most places in the throes of winter at best

Lol. That's not how the internet, or the law works. But sure, keep digging the ever convincing hole you're in. Welcome to public forum, where you are allowed to speak your mind AND be held accountable for your words at the same time!

You're spewing bigotry and hate. At the least you deserve insults. Don't like it? Be a better person. Not sorry.

You've offered no reasonable discourse, you've spewed hate and partisan parrot talking points, claimed to know the future, and only displayed how much of a bigot you are.
Your upbrininging failed you. Be better.

Are you a time traveler now? You know how this all goes? You've seen anything REMOTELY comparable to this in history? Elaborate, in detail, please.
How wise of you, to predict that hate and vitriol is the secret to utopia. Not checks notes freedom of self and being regardless of the person you choose to love or identify as.
Sure thing champ, what a stupid way to exist lol

Social contagion lol
Take a fucking sociology class. This is the same rhetoric that came around when homosexuality wasn't as stigmatized. 'they're everywhere! The rates are exploding!' no. They were always here, they just aren't forced to hide anymore. Trans and non binary people have always been here, they just aren't being shamed out of existence anymore.
"prohibition doesn't work, why should we ban (x) people will just get them illegally". It is the same argument, except these are people. You absolute trash bag.
You're a bigot. There is no other words to use. I feel so bad for you.

There have been gay and trans brown black and white people for as long as people have been loosely defined as people.
Your hate speech just makes you look dumb and lazy to everyone. I don't expect self reflection but my God, this isn't the strongest "argument" from the anti 'basic human fucking rights" crowd I've heard to date lol

Not a cable, it's 1" slackline webbing! Stretchy and lightweight, in this case nylon.

There are no water balloons! Just a giant slingshot to launch a rock with fishing line tied to it across a gap!

The anchors are very expensive, we take them down for the lifespan of our gear, and safety of others on the mountain.

We tag with a drone and fishing line on a large kite reel, connect the fishing line to a 6mm polyester braided rope, reel the rope back with the fishing line, and connect the rope to the webbing, pulling the rope with a progress capture device (micro Traxion) . We've used bow and arrow and water balloon launchers in places with more strict rules on drone flight (Acadia) using the same fishing line principle.

We try! My friend crossed the whole line in 3 falls. I made it just shy of half way in 4 falls. We had been envisioning this line for a while, did a quick scouting mission a month or so ago and pulled it together this past weekend. We're hoping to establish another line parallel to this that's slightly shorter, and another nearby that would be much bigger!

Tyrolean traverse is rope and pulleys with much, much less burly anchors and forces on each anchor point. This is for walking on, flat webbing, much stretcher and is built with the purpose of whipping all over repeatedly while attempting to walk. While they appear similar, they are very different in form and function. The only reason this person is underneath is because we had just finished rigging and they were coming from one side to the other with gear, using what would be a slackline specific Tyrolean device to make the process easier.

Hey! We set this up! It's a slackline! We have been doing this for years all over new England. This is officially the longest highline ever rigged in Maine at 167m long.
Our Instagram is @route1highlines if you wanna see some other projects we have set up over the years.
Edit: there is some confusion about an injured hiker on the mountain and our presence.
We did not have any injuries or issues! We have done this dozens and dozens of times all over new England without a single injury or event beyond a bruise or scraped knee. We rig with our own rescue kit on hand and have protocols in case of injuries in many different scenarios. We practice rescues in controlled settings to drill mechanics, always buddy check everything in the rig before going on the line.
Over the years we have put 80-100 people on highlines in and around New England (we are not a guide service, this is just a hobby that we are all very passionate about)
We aren't the people rangers and wardens have to worry about on the mountain... We come prepared, we plan, we pick up our trash and leave with minimal impact every time we go out. We aim to be good stewards to the mountain and encourage everyone to do the same in these shared spaces. We all have a right to be there!

I had a lot of really positive experiences on tinder. I got my dog through a connection where we remained friends. I got a new car because a girl I was seeing at the time had a sibling selling hers cheap. I've wound up in really inexpensive apartments due to parters, and like I said, my fiance.
Tinder is like most things, you get back what you give. Sure there were some awkward days, but typically that happens even at work or just existing anyway. It's not nearly as bad as it seems at face value imo.
