You wish you had impact on me but never have.
I mean, I clearly have some impact, as you keep replying to my pithy posts. You just can't help yourself.

An impact NEVER made

This is not a funny joke. You are not a funny person.
There's nothing "pithy" about your posts. "Pissy" would be more accurate. But you have never changed and never will. That's sad, but it is your choice to act the way so many acted towards you throughout your life.
BTW, the person at whom the post was directed appreciated it. So, who is offbase? Him or you?
Should Everest be shut down to climbers?
We know summit is attainable, it has been climbed in almost all manors possible. Now it just seems like the climb is nothing more than a check box on rich peoples bucket lists. Is that worth polluting the mountain, causing deaths, and destroying the culture of the people in the area. I don't think so. Shut it down. At least to non locals.
I think RJ could possibly be funny in person, it just doesn't translate to the internet that well. Still his jokes are typically light hearted and harmless, so WGAF? If they bother you, it's probably a you problem then.
BTW, for an RJ joke that was well above average, some could even say funny.
The problem with restricting the summit is that now the entire local economy is dependent on the tourism money.
yep. it's a classic "tragedy of the commons" situation. Nepal and China (but especially Nepal) have every incentive to maximize climbing permits and the associated fees and jobs for Sherpas.
This is also a consequence of rich people being overconfident in their abilities. There have been some good write ups about this in the last week or so.
if there's a line of 300 people 200 feet from the summit, that's not overconfidence.
Who is carrying their gear?
