I have no opinions on Tibet, since I'm a white boy with no stake in it, but I HAVE travelled there, and I'm happy to boost engagement by talking about the opinions of the people I met there. In Tibet, quite literally everyone I spoke to identified as Tibetan first, but they vehemently insisted that they were also Chinese, because China rescued the Tibetans from slavery, apparently. Those monks were up to some really bad stuff, putting everyone into brutal serfdom, so the Tibetan people weren't exactly upset that the Chinese rolled in and ended that. Ultimately, they were super autonomous. It didn't FEEL like I was still in China - it felt like I was in a sovereign state - despite knowing I was. China has it's problems, as all countries do, but Tibet didn't seem to be one of them, at least not when I visited. Also, if you wanna go the Dalai Lama route, I was told multiple times he was linked to the CIA, so when I got back to the states, I looked it up, and boy howdy... they were telling the truth. The Dalai Lama is on the CIA payroll (via a cut out agency called the National Endowment for Democracy, basically how the CIA openly funds stuff), or at least he was as recently as 2014. If the CIA is paying you, I just assume everything you say is a lie designed to make me want to blow up Muslim people. So, in short, I don't trust that bald child molester we call the Dalai Lama, and you probably shouldn't either. Before having opinions on Tibet, you should go there and speak to the people. Don't listen to immigrants from Tibet - there's always a reason they left, and they'll almost always lie to you about why, because they know it wouldn't make them look good (hint: their parents/grandparents owned slaves).

It's also funny how everyone's so hyped up about Tibet, rejecting to call it Xizang, while nobody is calling Okinawa as its native name, Ryukyu, or saying "Free Ryukyu" or "Free Hawaii." Welp they're justing using their so-called "justice" as disguise for their shadily prejudiced self-interest.

Here in Colorado, we have what are called 14ers. As the name suggests, these mountain peaks are at least 14,000 feet above sea level. I’ve done two, and it’s so breathtaking to be that high above treeline. But even at 14,000ft, you can feel the effects of thin air and altitude wearing you down. I can’t imagine doing something 24,000, that’s just insane

You see, the Association of Bhutan's Schools (or ABS) found a legal loophole, where it's only illegal to *climb* a mountain. Therefore, all Bhutanese schools are required to have a catapult with minimum dimensions of 4m by 6m, and it should be mobile, obviously, you need to be able to target every home in the village. Therefore, once the bell for hometime rings, little Johnny and his friends get on the catapult one-by-one, curl into a ball, and enjoy the world's worst rendition of Angry Birds (like c'mon, there's no Angry or Birds). And no, you cannot use it, as the catapult is forbidden for tourists.

I've always wanted to know, what is the tallest-appearing mountain? Like Everest is the tallest, but the surrounding landscape isn't at sea level, so does it seem very tall when you see it in person? I expect Mt Kilimanjaro would be more impressive because of the way it suddenly lurches out of the flat savannah. I'm guessing prominence has something to do with that.

@@johndeaton4607 That seems like it would make sense, since it's a granitic pluton. What got me thinking about this was Mt Whitney; seeing it in person from Lone Pine, CA, you can hardly make it out compared to the neighboring peaks. But I was surprised at how striking Mt Shasta and Mt Rainier are. I think it's because they're isolated volcanoes, not just another peak in part of a mountain range.

What most non-climbers dont know is that for most climb-able mountains in the U.S., climbers generally pack their poop in a bag and carry it back down the mountain to be properly disposed of. We do that so that the mountains dont become a toxic waste dump. Also, we melt ice up on the mountain to drink, and no one wants to drink ice that may be laced with some previous climber's sh**. As long as you also stay away from the yellow ice, youre golden...or er...youre not.
