Looks like Cerro Torre. That specific image appears to be a mirrored version of a photo from an Outside article that features Cerro Torre.

According to knowyourmeme, this is a photo from a 2018 session of Japanese Parliament. The guy in the center is calling for a vote on a controversial bill, and a bunch of opposition party members are attempting to physically prevent him from doing so. Apparently this is a thing they do in the Japanese Parliament sometimes?

I don’t suppose you have access to a sewing machine? Skirts are one of the easiest things in the world to sew, and while fabric from a craft store might not be cheap, there are options for thrifted or secondhand fabrics that are more budget friendly.

I’m transmasc so I don’t have great advice on fit, but here’s a short on skirt placement that sounds like pretty solid advice to me. If you fit the skirt around your “new waist” like they suggest (right under your ribs), you might not need the belt, and you’ll be able to hide any weird sewing on the waist line with your top. Then the only thing you really need to sew properly is the hem, which is dead simple on a machine.

I’m job hunting right now and turning over a lot of similar questions, about how much I should be asking for.

A few years back I got over 80% by switching sectors - I was underpaid at a public sector job I loved, and switched to a private sector job in the finance industry and a higher COL area. Similar to you, they offered more than I asked for because corporate had specific pay brackets for that position.

I think your pay depends a lot on the specific area/tech stack you’re working in and who you’re working for. Some tech stacks just pay more on average than others, bigger corporations can usually pay more than smaller companies, and private sector will always pay more than public sector (but usually with worse benefits). You can check Glassdoor or similar sites to see what people with a similar title make at the company you’re applying to, but that’s only helpful at really big companies where there are enough employees reporting to give a good average.

The equipment usually isn’t sized for adults. I barely fit into the swing set at my local park, and I’m smaller than average. Even though I can technically use it, it’s very uncomfortable.

But besides that, as a grown man I’m going to get some very weird looks from parents if I waltz up to the jungle gym and start climbing with their kids. There may not be a law against it, but it’s certainly not socially acceptable.

There’s other quality-of-life upgrades available in the gem store (real world money store) like infinite gathering tools and inventory expansions. That’s what I spent my IRL money on. But yeah, not really accurate to call that a “power” improvement.

Can you buy fractals infusions or other equipment upgrades with gems or gold, or do you have to acquire them through fractal dailies? I never had enough friends to do the fractals content.
