Because I'm smelling it everywhere, including on the highway. I'm holding doors for groups of laughing idiots. I'm speaking to customer service personnel and cashiers who are obviously stoned out of their gourd. All of these fools have had the exact same obvious tells, infuriatingly sluggish comprehension and idiotic facial expressions.
I'm very much starting to hate them.

Because it's a crutch for a horrible diet of toxic, addictive "food". A diet that will result in a number of health problems regardless of semaglutides. It also has side effects that we can see, and likely a bunch that are long term we don't know about yet. Medication that shores up the damage from a bad habit is always a monkey's paw. People put far too much faith in medicine to solve their problems.

I owe this video to a buddy of mine who had the creativity to play the music as he took the video of me finishing a climb. This video was taken in Warsaw, Missouri during that same day.
The trip was bookended by long hikes there and back through the wilderness as there isn't an official trail to these walls, I don't think. You can find these routes on the Mountain Project app.
