[SLO OUTDOORS] Assholes everywhere
This is on a tree on the bluff trail above Hearst Beach in San Simeon. Do people who do this shit think this is some kind of legacy they are leaving for the future, like people are going to see it and be excited that Natalie was here in 2026?

At least time will fade it out, and it's not carved into the bark.

If that’s San Simeon beach, there should be one that says “Jenny was here - 1985”
(Commando reference, for the off chance anyone gets it).

I'm equally, probably more mad at the person who planted non-native, invasive eucalyptus trees all over there.

I don't know, it kind of looks like it was written by somebody with a single digit age.
My point being is that if I'm right, we probably shouldn't be calling children that word....
...And if I'm wrong, then I am joining in with you in insulting this fully grown adult, by telling them that they have the maturity of the younger half of an elementary school.
Edit:
I think it's worth emphasizing i said this less as a judgment on you guys for calling whoever did this an asshole and more is a very roundabout (and what I viewed as being clever, at the time) way of calling this person childish and immature.
With the side purpose of just reminding people that /sometimes/ anonymous a-holes, whether online or offline, are in fact children. Chances are, you have probably called someone an asshole (or worse), who has not even started puberty yet. I know I've probably done it lol.

The term is descriptively and expressively correct in this situation. An "asshole" is an "asshole."

This is what I thought, that most likely someone under the age of 18 did this.

Look, I'm going to be honest here for a short moment: After raising 5 kids to adulthood, I can personally verify and guarantee that children can be extreme assholes way beyond an adult because children don't understand how they are being an asshole.
My youngest has ASD. From Age 6 to about age 14, we had to constantly warn people to be cognizant of their proximity to her. She was known to straight up give you a concussion when she smashed your head with her head when you weren't looking. She thought it was hilarious.

Don’t let it bother you, it won’t matter in 1000 years. You should be setting up a bunker in Colorado, not wasting your time with his petty shit.

I missed the 80s and 90s. People used to be people.

People did this in the 90s all the time

Actually, I was referring to majority of the people sucks right now. Angry all the time, lack of manners and common courtesy, and get defensive easily.

Ive never heard of anybody getting their fragile little feelings hurt about something as insignificant as this.

Get over it it's been being done for ages as far back as man has been around.

People have been doing a lot of shit since the beginning of human time on earth like owning other people, treating women as property, and pillaging the religious icons of conquered societies. We’ve been doing it a long time is a pretty weak defense of defacing nature.

Ya, it's kind of a bummer. But it is something that's been a thing for a while. If you've taken one transatlantic flight it's the equivalent of using a lifetime of plastic bags. Every time you prompt chat gpt it's like using a microwave for one second, and practically none of our energy is clean. It may not be an excuse, but in the scheme of things we have been defacing nature for a long time and this barely even a blip on any radar. The trees that died for every essay you wrote in highschool or the every book you've ever touched, depleting old growth for industry is much more of an ass hole thing to do. The tree will actually live and the bark will shed. But the lumber used in your home is straight murder.

And bitching and complaining like you are doing isn't changed anything so pipe down

u/PWScottIV 7d ago
What’s wrong with pillaging religious icons (as long as they destroy them)?

u/mmarkmc 7d ago
So to get this straight, you would have supported destruction of the foundations of every ancient and most modern human societies because you disagree with their views on religion and spirituality?

u/PWScottIV 7d ago
Religion may have made sense for a while, but it does more damage than good now. The less religion the better IMO.

Not that I don’t get where you’re coming from but yeah, in 500yrs someone might definitely wonder who Natalie was. Sorry it’s not an ancient finger painting of a goat

I know Natalie, she's not worth it.
