Yeah I’ve been training with friends but need to stop borrowing from them.

I’m around this week. After 3pm I’ll be free!

Looking to buy a used Ice Axe

Looking to do some peakbagging in the area and noticed how this snow is sticking around. Was wondering if anyone has a mountaineering ice axe they are willing to part with. Willing to pay top dollar. Please let me know! Thank you!

In that case, where can I buy a firearm in Bozeman lmao

Good idea. Any recommendations where to ask?

Cheapest place to buy bear spray?

Is Costco still the best place to get a deal on bear spray?

Good idea! I bet there are lots of good boulders nearby. Any recommendations?

Maybe it’s basic - but it’s also just a solid group of well designed mons. Other gens might have more variety but hard to find a better group of pokemon that are obtainable throughout the game and enjoyable to play with.

Unpopular opinion but I prefer all natural peanut butter cups over Reeces. The peanut butter in reeces has so much added sugar that it loses a lot of that nutty, salty, roasted peanut flavor that pairs so well with chocolate.

Love this team. Chariot is a wild pick lol. What happened to your starter? Didn’t feel like using it?

At the end of the day, any job where you are working for a profit seeking entity has you participating in capitalism and indirectly supporting its perpetuation. It’s up to your judgment whether that aligns with your personal values or not. I worked in the private sector for a few years and ultimately had to leave for a government job because I became deeply conflicted about supporting a corporation. If you feel morally conflicted about your work seek out a position at a nonprofit or government institution. It may be easier to find purpose in your work.

Best climbing gyms to join?

I’m going to be in Bozeman for a little over a month and want to learn how to climb. Are there any climbing or bouldering gyms that have good introductory classes for beginners? Also would prefer something that isn’t super expensive.

Antitrust Regulation - Good or Bad?

What do socialist think about todays growing antitrust enforcement that creates more competition in the marketplace? I’ve seen arguments for and against.

I personally think more competition only reinforces the dogma of capitalism that markets create better outcomes for everyone. It also makes it harder for labor to organize and demand concessions from employers if you have to organize multiple workplaces in the same industry.

Interested to hear others thoughts though.

Best shoes for Trail and Snow travel?

I’m looking to pick up some hiking shoes with better traction for a San Gorgonio accent this upcoming weekend. I did Cactus 2 Clouds last weekend in some older sneakers and hiked through significant snow to reach the summit. Looking to get some shoes with better tread and a high ankle maybe to keep the snow out. I have a pair of Altra LPs that I could strap some gaiters to, but was wondering if anyone had other suggestions. I’ve heard good things about the Topo trailventure 2 ($100 Amazon). Should I go for something like that or would my LPs with the gaiters cut it? Also looking at the LP mid hikers.

“History is progressive” is the most Lib take ever. Roe was overturned just last year buddy. Maybe you should read some history to start.

Whichever is cheapest and where you want to practice.

Funny how naturally this turned into a discussion thread listing many problems related to late stage capitalism.

Damn. This combo seems worth investigating!

I have read Capitol and Ideology. Is there any other Piketty that you would recommend? I’ve heard Capitol in the 21st century is good but maybe it’s just reiterating ideas from Ideology.
