Lying down? gently caress I'm 41, 265lbs and 5'11" and have been working from home with basically no exercise for the last 6 years and I never did that.

I'm not saying it's not okay to lie down, but he keeps saying "what's wrong with me" "I'm not doing good" "I'm dizzy", All I'm saying that he needs time to recover and I hope he listens to his body instead of pushing himself too much like he's been doing. The climb is hell of the body if you're not careful, he hasn't given himself enough time to acclimatize

Yeah now he's not eating because it makes him gag, I'm no everest expert so I don't know what he should do in this situation, going up to the next hotel might be better than going down since it's technically closer but still up, just hope he does what is best and listens to his sherpa, he's probably seen the symptoms before and knows what to do. I don't know if hes taking altitude pills or not, since he was not prepared for this trip at all I'm guessing no

Adjacent to this moron's live stream, I've been morbidly hooked on this Youtube channel that shares Hiking Horror stories- this one, in particular, stood out. One of the most experienced thru-hikers of the time made a bad judgment call, and paid for it in the worst way possible; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cajFMKgOUZc Another one that got to me was the story of this guy called 'Mostly Harmless' who was thru-hiking anonymously. He talked to people, had photos taken then was found, sometime later, starved to death in his tent despite having food nearby. It took a hell of a lot of effort to find his true identity, but they did in the end. It's a real sad story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYfmWUtg2pg It's a rabbit hole that this thread will probably appreciate.

Haha he just siad he's tired from taking melatonin at night. He's one of those delusional motherfuckers that has no experience of his own limits or y'know excercise at all and just loving kids himself through everything, but somehow believes his own bullshit. The sherpas are having the most fun they've had in days it seems like

He's put that weird ambient music on his speaker that makes it seem like documentary footage and it's about to fade to black and then some text will fade in explaining how he collapsed a short time later and died, it's a good touch. And everyone else is more or less strolling around and he's shuffling like he's in the death zone. e]lmao now he's playing lotr soundtrack I think Radical 90s Wizard fucked around with this message at 09:53 on May 24, 2023 |

Oh, man, Joel's view makes this sad. Ice is not doing well. He's not looking too sure-footed and gets pretty close to the edge dropoff.

Nice Tuckpointing! posted:He's listening to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack to distract himself. From what I've gathered, somehow Kick is even more toxic than YouTube and twitch combined. Just look up the people who made it, who have exclusive contracts to stream there, and who are there due to being banned from other streaming sites. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/adin-ross-andrew-tate-white-supremacists-1234705845/amp/ https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/xqc-admits-twitch-gambling-was-wrong-but-wont-fake-being-sorry-1941705/ https://news.yahoo.com/korean-ameri...1Yf68z9gqFVOmeH

God drat, this is depressing. He keeps walking next to the edge. If the edge is on the right, he shambles to the right. If the edge is on the left, he shambles to the left. He's already almost fallen backwards while just going up a step several times.

This Joel guy is a horrible person. He's hyping his chat talking about how Ice is "like Jesus" and all this other stream lingo. Meanwhile Ice is obviously not doing well and is dangerously close to loving up.

Well, this is the first I've watched this, and he said "Nah man, I'm dying already. You'll probably have to drag my corpse back." So at least he's not delusional about what's happening with himself. Edit: And as I say this, he seems on the verge of literal collapse. I've seen more agile drunks.

That's getting really concerning. I don't wanna watch this guy die. He keeps nearly falling, can barely move, and then he decides to run, collapses and nearly throws up. Insists on keeping going. He's completely delusional and thinks it's just a little way to the destination where it's hours.

Dang, that last move... I think he might be trying to force a small, but relatively harmless, fall so he has a reason to get out of this.

He has the sunk cost fallacy that every Everest climber gets while trying to get to the peak. Except this time it's just to get to Base Camp. I hope he either realizes his mistake and turns around or gets to Base Camp safely and leaves quickly. but I get the feeling if he gets there he's gonna end up using valuable resources and time from the Base Camp Doctors/Medics.

He's resting on the side of the trail right now, and he mumbled, "I seriously think if I go higher I could seriously die." And there was no sense of bravado or joking. Is he coming to his senses? Joel meanwhile is jokingly wondering if he can spot a yeti. What a team.
