Climb a few mountains, it won't be long before you get caught in an epic sufferfest. It will be good.

As long as you don't say our species, well subspecies technically lol
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

My photography trip to the Tasmanian wilderness last year was brutal on my aged body. I suffered like a motherfucker. Didn't feel any sense of anything positive after that. Would far have preferred to not have suffered. In fact, I would have got further into the wilderness and lasted longer there if I wasn't so utterly fucked.

I haven't had any decent suffering in quite a while. Probably time to vivisect another hooker.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I had five minutes of suffering the other morning; I stubbed my toe into a door. :whistle:

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?
