My experience with Morocco is that 70% of the people in touristy areas only exist to scam, coerce, or pickpocket tourists. Having to deal with that nonstop really ruined the country for me. I like Mediterranean europe much more (though there are plenty of North Africans, Albanians, and Gypsies doing the same things there, it's not nearly as bad as Morocco)
WoFlowzngl morocco, algeria or turkey would be sweet too. like a less expensive greece or italy with frankly a more interest culture
got a new phone. my old one's screen broke. at first it was just a little light at the top, then over the course of 24 hours it went to shit lol. it's nice because it has 0.5 so hopefully we can get some dope clips this season!
building the seattle ridge lift at sun valley. im a week in and its sweet but also so much work. ya boy is beaat and this lift line is pretty mellow / its a shorter lift. couldnt imagine working when they installed broadway. working outside in the mountains is insane tho and i love it. i need to use more sunscreen.
With how different these things are from a real debate structure that actually can be scored, you gotta be such a dumbass to put money on a subjective contest of opinion like a presidential debate

I actually liked that format a bit more. It controlled both candidates from speaking out of turn. Biden had better points than trump but the inflation issue is a serious problem.
Biden also kept talking about the economy is better than when trump left office but do people forget that it was democrats shutting everything down because of COVID? like the economy sucked not because of Trump... it sucked because Biden forced people to take a vaccine to keep their jobs along with keeping people at home and shutting down small business.

Forbes says $19,000 was wagered on if they would shake hands, and then others were betting on if a candidate would use a certain word. You definitely aren't limited to betting on who will "win" the debate.

Its not based on "winning" the debate. The things you can bet on aren't subjective. You bet on props like "who will get the first question", "who will have the longest answer", "how many times will X candidate say Y". Things like that.
Still lame, but it is something that's measurable at least.

True, I forgot about all those silly side wager things

Morocco sucked imo, I’d spend more time in the Balkans again over that tourist trap.
I agree 100%. I love the Balkans. Once you get out of the overtouristed parts of Croatia and Greece, the locals are very welcoming. Especially in Bosnia, people seemed very excited that their country was becoming a desirable place to visit

PartyBullshiitSorry my girl doesn’t have time for soy boys like yourself. Especially ones that go on and on about fucking me and other guys continually.
you’d have a broken face if you tried to touch my watch. But good luck with those pipe dreams. lol.
Oh I hadn't even considered you also fit that description, what an odd coincidence. 🤔
PartyBullshiitCanaries are super dope. I’ve been a few times. We fly direct from Newark to Tenerife with United. It’s one of the only if not only direct flights from the US. we’ve hiked the volcano, hiked the rain forest and trekked the national park as well. I know you’re young but they have 5 wine regions on the islands and they are one of the only places in the world to have “old world” wine grapes and vines that were not hurt by the wine diseases that overtook European vineyards.
highly recommend going.
Have your fam rent a car. It’s super easy to drive everywhere.

i’ll be traveling alone lol. I’ll be 18 in two months so they don’t rly care. Not an huge drinker anyway, if I do drink it’s usually just Anejo. But sweet advice! I’ve been dying to check them out, esp since i’ve got a bunch of airline miles with my credit card. Will def get to hiking, no matter where. Then some days near the water.
Only way these trips don’t happen is if my parents make me go to Hobart WS this fall. If not I’ll have a year to keep interning for Cornell, studying, writing, rowing, add more travel then go to which ever school gives me the most money or seems worth the most money.

If you’ll be 18 you’ll be good to drink there. The wineries are very cool. Old world style. Owned by little families. The food is amazing and super affordable. We just asked for some bread and fruits/cheese to eat with the wine. The farmer cooked us a leg of pig with fresh blistered tomatoes he grew.
PartyBullshiitLove living in your head. So funny how obsessed with me you are. Have fun wishing you could fuck other people’s gf’s. Lmao. You’re such a soy boy.
VTshredder69Anyone here been to Turkey? I was thinking that as my next trip. The coffee and food is FIRE.
yeah i went to turkey a while back and it was super super sick. really happy i went on that trip. very interesting place, great food, tea and coffee blah blah blah. it definitely felt like the the middle land between the east and the west that it is. i don't know enough about the place to give you advice on a trip there (i was visiting family friends so i had it all kinda taken care of for me) but if you think you're interested i def would say it's worth looking into

Thank you sir. I am fascinated with that area of the world. It's been on my list for a while and they say its the bridge from Asia to Europe. I must see it first hand. Kabobs baby!!!!

yeah exactly, i felt that "bridge from asia to europe" feeling really hard there, which by itself makes it super interesting so even if i hadn't enjoyed it i would've learned so much. great objective to look into some time
guys wish me luck, im not getting ghosted by a match on Hinge or not saying something really awkward yet
also major ditto to travelling alone/road tripping alone/moving across the country alone, etc. It was the scariest yet most kick ass thing ive ever done in my 28 years on planet earth and it gives you new appreciation for every day life instead of the same old shit you were once dealing with

Damn bro why are the alps so much more populated than the rockies. It is so easy to find a solitary hike in Colorado where you will see nobody else for hours, but in the alps you cannot get away from people. There’s trails and towns and houses everywhere. Alps are steep as hell too. I can’t follow a little stream uphill without getting basically cliffed out. It’s beautiful as hell tho. It’s like a jungle compared to the rockies.

Alps are smaller area and so are the countries. There are not too many options to choose from if most of your country is covered by mountains.
Just looking from pictures and stuff I think Alps look better than the Rockies.

europe is significantly older and therefore more population dense and built out. its ironic you say that though because colorado has continued to see a steep population increase my whole life and now i feel like it takes some effort to find places to go without an influx of people.

both have their own beauty for sure but i much rather have the hypeness of the american people than the staleness of europeans. you cucks seem unenthused all the time.

Honestly felt the same way as you but I just looked at some maps and damn
Farmville420Honestly felt the same way as you but I just looked at some maps and damn
europe is about half to land area but well
over double the population so its over 4 times as dense. so any time you’re like damn this is crowded just imagine if it were quadrupled. the skier visits and bike visits they do are huge and we never talk about it here for a few reasons. 1 there’s sooo many entities involved like old farmers who decided to incorporate their land into a ski resort vs a corporate entity 2 they don’t have the same laws or financial structure so its not really apples to apples.
It’s super cute how im literally the first thing you think about every day and the last thing you dream about when you go to sleep, And your first thought is what can I post today to get his attention. I’m flattered homie really.
It’s so sweet of you to come out as gay on the site and that I’m your choice to have a super duper crush over. I’m sorry to break your little twink heart but it’s never going to happen.
I’m not gay like yourself. I don’t want to fuck men like you do. I’m sorry. Best of luck on your future gay endeavors though.

Yup your skiing culture is better but I was talking about how the mountains look.
Cheering happens though, not as much but it happens. I like it that way, Sometimes in social media I see clips from the US where everyone is screaming and cheering to everyone, To me this excessive cheering sounds forced and something that people do just because you are supposed to do it. But that's just an opinion from someone who prefers to fly under the radar.
This goes into the same gategory as people hyping in the climbing gym, "yeah yeah you can do it" stfu I want to climb in peace.

Definitely a cultural thing, I've heard multiple Americans go to Scandinavia and comment about how people are not extroverted at all and always mind their business. There are benefits and cons to both, definitely really annoying to be an introvert in the USA tho

Another reason for the more populated alps is the structure of the valleys. The Rocky Mountains are a much older mountain range than the alps, and they haven’t had glaciers for a long time. because of this the valleys are very V-shaped due to river erosion. The alps were carved by glaciers that receded only a few thousand years ago, so the valleys tend to be steep on the sides and flat in the middle, kinda like a U-shape. This means the alps are much easier to settle. There are tons of other factors like annual precipitation, making the alps much more wet, almost like a temperate rainforest in some spots. Another factor is the longitude, and since Europe is much more north than the US, the treeline is thousands of feet lower because of how little light the trees get in the winter. This in turn makes it very convenient to graze cows above treeline. Sorry for the wall of text I could talk about this stuff for hours

You could open a bike lock with loud power tools downtown and people would give you just a side eye and do nothing, maybe post about it to local Facebook group.
Avarage Nordics might be considered to be introverted, but I'm even more than that
