Is there anything these assholes wont fuckup? I'm here waiting for Warcraft 4 and Starcraft:Ghost, and all Blizzard can do is harrass their female employees and strand mountain climbers. wtfman

I'm glad I'm not the only one to first think it was the company, not the weather event lol

came for this type of reply.

They haven't been able to get enough vespene gas

Hahaha, that was my first thought as well, until I remembered blizzards are a weather phenomema.
-
I'm not sure this is related to to the story. If you read the article, One thousand climbers shared a milkshake from dairy Queen and couldn't continue due to a food coma.

Amazing that there are even 1000 people climbing it at the same time. I shudder to think what the once pristine mountainside used to look like vs now.

It looks like a garbage trail littered with corpses. https://allthatsinteresting.com/mount-everest-bodies

The world’s largest monument to vanity.

Future archeologists will welcome our preserved samples of DNA the same way we did Ötzi the Iceman.

Watched 14 Peaks last week and when they got to Mount Everest, there was a literal line of like 100+ people queued all the way up to the top of the mountain.
-
There is a line to get to the summit sometimes
-
A lot are trekkers rather than climbers if that helps. Their environmental footprint is much smaller.
-
Shout out to Star Trek fans for their small environmental footprint

Impressing the bots on Facebook.

Every last CEO, internet influencer and wealthy investor in the world has "climbing Everest" on their bucket list to validate their identities and they want all their employees to see the pictures of them spending absurd amounts of money to climb a mountain and a see a view almost as high as a passenger airliner.
I've said for a while that Nepal and China will have to do something drastic soon.
The deaths and trash and bodies are piling up, and eventually it's going to make the entire "adventure" so repulsive that people are going to stop spending tens of thousands to go try to climb a rock.
Either they're going to radically restrict access to the mountain, or if they really want to keep the tourism money coming, they will have to consider developing the region. Concrete and asphalt basecamp with roads to nearby cities, facilities and helipads and a reinforced complex of resorts and hotels designed to withstand storms and with oxygen bars on every level. Stairs and guardrails all the way up to the summit and drone-patrols watching for people passing out.

Enjoying the money of useful idiots.

Tourism.

What the fuck is one climber doing on Mt. Everest?
Your chances of dying are much higher than making it to the summit. It's only a mountain; what's the big deal anyway? There are much safer ways to get exercise and fulfillment; stay on level ground and live.

Lich King ARG goes hard

None of those idiots was forced to go up there.

So who's going to be the new Green Boots?
-
Well I need good Carma so I hope they survive to make the movie about it.

Sorry, responded to the wrong post.

Good!

I'm really hoping you somehow think this is about the company Blizzard...

For a glorious moment I thought it was Blizzard entertainment.
Same. And it was more a "how did they manage" than a "would they", because of course they would.
Fucking Blizzard. If its not asexually harassing worker. Its stranding climbers on mountains.
How do you asexually assault someone. Is that when you make no sexual advances on your coworkers — against their will?
WoW
Fuck Blizzard though, regardless of the type.
