I’m a member of a FB hiking group for my state of 100k+ members. I somehow got “Top Contributor” status by posting a few pics, and posing a question back in the day that turned into a huge raging debate on whether it was disrespectful to run down a steep mtn trail past others even when in complete control (correct answer: yes it still is, only downhill though. And the reason is other people will be stressed because they have no idea how in control you are or whether you are about to plow into them and take them down the mtn with you tumbling)

I ended up getting like 300+ new replies a day to where I had to just throw my hands up like oh God too many, don’t care I’ve lost interest in this

Anyway, that hiking group posts memes sometimes, I liked this “dad joke” meme

man im glad to hear that, if the reason is "it stresses other people out because maybe.." then by all means, go ahead.

That as my least favorite thing about religion, and it's my least favorite thing about wokie cancel culture virtue signalers.

An example I had used is, if someone came up to you with a spiked ball and chain medieval weapon, and they happened to be an expert in the weapon

But you didn’t know this, and didn’t know them. And they began twirling the weapon around your head, saying “never fear, I am an expert with this and have never made a mistake”

Any rational human being would say “get that the fuck away from my head, I don’t know you or know if any of that is true”

That same sort of concept applies with people, usually younger people because I used to do this too, bombing down the mountain. We don’t know them, don’t know how truly in control they are, so keep the weapon away from my head, so to speak
