JUST HEARD A RIDICULOUSLY IMPASSIONED NEW YORKER TALKING ABOUT POLAR EXPLORATION I’m CRYING. Here’s my best transcription, it’s nowhere NEAR as New York as this guy sounded

“Locked in ice? You’re a fucking moron! Absolute goddamned idiot! Yeah no shit they got locked in ice, going to the coldest place during the coldest months like what the FUCK did you think was gonna happen? Idiots, oh my god. WHO does that? ‘Hey man I dropped a brick on my foot and now it’s broken’ NO FUCKING SHIT, DUDE! God that pisses me off. Stupid ass motherfucker. Getting people killed and you don’t even gotta be out there! Same thing with the Donner Party!”

I forgot my favourite part holy shit

“LISTEN if you’re some fucko walking around Brooklyn at 2am, a little drunk, wearing a I ❤️ NYC shirt and holding a subway map, the fuck you thinks gonna happen?! SAME thing people getting locked in ice in Antarctica, dumb as fucking rocks holy shit”
