Waterfall Defies Gravity Due to Strong Winds
newtboyWe saw the same thing in a storm on the Milford track in NZ, but those waterfalls were huge and hundreds of feet high. Crazy to see them just go the wrong way.
The flight that almost killed me
BSRI just a love a good dad story.
When I was about 10 years old, dad and I went fishing down to the Delaware River between NJ and PA. We would walk across the railroad bridge and make our way to the top of the pier and fish from there.

As we walked with our fishing poles and fishing box across the railroad ties he would tell me stories from when he was a kid. Told me his older brother tried to get my dad to jump from the bridge into the river. My Uncle had done this many times but dad had no desire to try it.
He said my Uncle tried to push him off the bridge once but dad held on real tight to one of the steel girders.
He told me, if I looked real close at that 2nd girder over there, I could still see his fingerprints embedded in it.
I think I laughed for 5 minutes straight.

BTW, that's Easton PA on the waterfall side. Home of Larry Holmes.

When I was 17, my dad took me to some cliffs south of San Francisco to learn how to hang glide. The class met at a cliff to watch experienced pilots take off before going to a practice slope. The first launch we watched took off, made a smooth arcing turn, and crashed at full speed directly into the vertical cliff about 150' high and fell. He broke both legs at the least, but survived at least long enough for the ambulance to get there.
Dad cancelled my class, I never learned to fly.

Tsunami from Heaven - Amazing Rainstorm Timelapse
newtboyWe've all seen footage of waterfalls to nowhere when strong winds blow a waterfall up into the sky, this is the other side of that coin, a waterfall FROM nowhere. Neat.

Huge avalanche in Tignes, France
lucky760That's not an avalanche, but a freaking waterfall of snow. Damn.
Official Jeep Super Bowl Commercial | Jeep Jurassic
newtboyAt least this jeep commercial didn't have them driving down a pristine stream and up a waterfall like the other one.

bareboards2Hard to have a discussion when the basic psychological concept that is endemic in society is not understood by one side of the conversation. Not really worth trying to dig out of that hole, in my opinion.
I do like your idealist view of how people SHOULD be. We aren't that way, of course. I wish it for all our futures.
Including men, and the internalized messages they get that warp their view of the world.
I have contended for years that men are in a much worse psychological state than women. We at least are encouraged to delve into our emotions, with varying degrees of success. Poor men are told to buck up and be "men". What a horrible thing to say to a little boy, or a preteen, or a teenager, or a young man entering adulthood, or a grown man dealing with a difficult world. No wonder men die earlier than women. The pressures they are under are enormous, with no way to relieve that pressure.
Generally speaking. There is a movement that has been gathering steam that is encouraging men to become more fully themselves.
The hike was great, albeit too short. We don't have great big waterfalls here on the Olympic Peninsula. It has been raining a lot lately. The waterfall that we visited was THUNDERING. I have never seen a thundering waterfall here.
Then again, I don't normally hike in the winter.
As for the weather... some Norwegian told a friend of mine -- There is no bad weather. Only bad clothing.
My clothing was fine, aided by the fact it started raining after we headed back home.
I don't doubt there are some people who exhibit an absolute psychological subversion to an ideology or person that is detrimental to their general good, ie. Stockholm syndrome, but to conclude that this is representative of even a significant minority of people who eschew victimhood in favour of responsibility for ones own situation is a long bow to draw. This is in the context of the last 20 years. Going back further to the time pre the women's rights movement or the abolishment of segregation, there are more empirical examples of internalisation.
Internalised whatever is a diminished capacity argument, limiting or removing entirely responsibility for ones actions and placing the blame elsewhere. An argument I find holds water if you're talking about blacks under Jim Crow where it would have been more desirable to either be white, or be closer to white, to escape oppression. Essentially a hostage situation.
It's a concept that loses steam as society becomes more accepting over time. Women now have the might of legislation + a significant chunk of the media behind them. They no longer have to be willing victims (although as #metoo showed, many were willing to be victims or at least silent via payout/nda when it served their purposes). If a woman is an equal to man, she must have the right to make her own decisions and the responsibility to be held accountable for them.
Hope the hike goes well. I imagine it's pretty chilly this time of year?

bareboards2You may not buy the concept of internalized sexism, racism and homophobia. Doesn't make it any less true. Mental health professionals who have studied the human condition as it exists, rather than how we want it to be, have helped identify the phenomena.
And yeah. I call it "dueling monologues." It is tiresome, isn't it?
Thanks for engaging with me.
I'm off on a tiny hike today. Apparently with all the rain we have been getting, the waterfall near Brinnon WA is a gorgeous torrent of water. And someone else is driving, so that is good!
I don't buy the whole internalised bit. That is a very easy way to remove someone's agency and blame wrongthink on something other than a person making a conscious choice that denies a promoted narrative (ie. blaming white, straight men...). It makes them a victim rather than a willful participant and more importantly, it explains away people who don't buy in to the narrative. They aren't sensible people making their own choices and highlighting that the narrative has huge gaping holes in it, they are unwitting dupes.
Viva liberation!
ps. I didn't say there was no where to go, but too often these sift debates turn in to pointless slanging of the same points over and over. Often beginning with a clinical dissection of a post to find every last bit of wrong in it. I just don't have the enthusiasm for raw combative debate (well, not as much anyway) anymore. It is not a mark of disrespect towards you who I have generally found to be a decent conversationalist, but my days of spending 4-6 hours a night banging out thousands of words on different forums are well and truly behind me.
