Rant About Whatever

Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

true, i cant find this V on the heelpiece they are talking about and hoping its not on the mounting plate under the heel lol.

Is this the same ongoing issue thats been plaguing other Pivot/FKS bindings? my friends all experience the same issues with couple year old FKS' and even have had them snap the plate in half which i think is just another seperate wear and tear issue.

Actually broke my wrist next winter on a shirty build of ice death. But that wadnt too bad.

I held up well till high school. Had one bad injury there then was pretty solid till 22 when i broke my collarbone then broke my brain in the same season. Then i tore my knee the next summer etc.

Oh well.

Maybe i should hang it up and take up knitting or something.

Part of why I love winter is because there's no pollen to ruin my life, a few weeks until my eyes are beat red all day, sneeze a lot, and have my throat itch.

I found myself going down a similar path where I was just getting hurt all the time. I've found that almost all of the injuries happen when I'm ripping at >95% capacity , whether it be pushing it skiing, mountain biking, drinking, weightlifting, basically anything. I've been dialing it back to like 80% whenever I'm doing something risky, it sounds like a pussy move but honestly it's cut down on the accidents

I finally understand why foreigners don’t like American tourists. I read a few sites that offered me a foreigers perspective, on American tourists.. just this morning I came across a few of the Hood gypsies and related everything in the article to these domestic tourists
1- They are loud
2- Obnoxious
3- Unconcerned
4- Arrogant and they feel it’s all about them
5- Just the little gestures they do that come off as intrusive, such as looking in my car and telling me I have “nice skis”.. thanks for the compliment but please don’t look in my car

American tourists are the worst. I only realized after spending half a year away from any Americans in a small french city, than when I traveled to Paris, I was blown away by not only how obnoxious the American tourist i saw but how bratty and snobby they sounded. gross

I think it's poplar just because it's free and you can run in on a dumpster fire of a computer. Not a fan of it either

I slipped and fell on my way to my thesis defense. I got covered in mud from head to toe and don't have time to run home. Really hoping my boyfriend comes thru with a good outfit because I'm sad and mad. I get to defend this semester because I have two classes left and my department doesn't do fall defenses. This is great, everything is fine.

Just send it. Whenever I've sat on an interview committee or whatever I've thought it was a bonus when someone just came in and just delivered anyways. Little or big hiccups happen all the time and if anything your perseverance shows how your work is worth it.

Thanks my dude. My boyfriend brought me a change of clothes, and I was able to shower. I'm feeling much better about this now. I know my thesis, all I have to do is talk about it. :)

I find it quite humorous that you incorporated the number "69" into your user name. It's funny because it is sexually suggestive, but it is also just a common number so it is still socially acceptable! Very good!

Honestly ignored your username until now, I was just mocking your rant but now I'm serious.

Your name makes me think Queef instantly also, but thanks, 69 was just my favorite number at the time! Nothing sexually relative was suppose to come with it.

ronders_Fucking shit man. My senior year prom is coming up. This one girl wanted to go with me so I was going to ask her as soon as I got back from spring break in Escalante. So saturday/sunday I drove all the way back to Wisconsin. today in school on top of being tired af still form getting no sleep, I just got told that some other dude asked her yesterday. Pretty damn sure he knew I was going to and just asked the day before I got back. So my plans are fucked. Have no backup and rsvp deadline is in a week. no fucking idea what to do.

Fuck Prom, it wasn’t shit for me when I went... it’s not the end of the world dude just go HAM in life and show him who Boss is, he’ll be working for you, just go full on Boss mode, and the girl will also realize what she missed out on when you have not One but Four women who all want to fuck you.

SHADOW FIGHT 2 IS FUCKING RIGGED I SWEAR..

I just tried to beat Hermit 4 fucking times and 2/4 Times I was up 2-0 and HE FUCKING MAKES THE COMEBACK and I CHOKE HARD AS FUCK.. BUT I SWEAR TO GOD THE DEVELOPERS RIGGED THIS GAME TO WHERE THE MECHANICS ARE FAULTY
ALSO ITS A SCAM ONCE YOU BUY GEMS EVERYTHING BECOMES MORE EXPENSIVE (coin wise) TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE TO SPEND YOUR GEMS

EVEN THE LOFTIEST OF NINJAS STILL HAVE TO PAY THEIR DUES YOU CANNOT ADVANCE IN THE GAME UNTIL YOU PLAY THE DUMBASS SURVIVAL MODE ENOUGH TIMES TO EARN ENOUGH TO UPGRADE YOUR WEAPON AND FIGHT A BOSS AND GAIN REAL EXP POINTS

SPEAKING OF EXP THE LEVEL UP SYSTEM IS SO FUCKED AND UNREALISTIC..

THIS GAME IS SURE TO GIVE ANYONE A HEADACHE (it even caused my to crack my lifeproof case WHICH ISNT LIFEPROOF AGAINST RAGEEEE ARGGHH!!)

with that all out of the way.. i’m still going to play it .. and i’m still going to become the ultimate Ninja Warrior.

I feel like the mix of solid content and complete wtf shitstorms were what kept people coming back.

Imo the internet is a place to blow off steam arguing with strangers but also coning together over your common bonds. Argue about politics or life bullshit, but chat about skiing and meet up on the slopes for a beer or some hot laps in the park.

The ns forums are dying because kids don't use forums.

Im actually pretty stoked that even though NSG has fissled SG has been pretty damn strong.

Polarization of politics in the US has become almost too much to handle and we really need to settle the fuck down and take a few breaths, jesus chrIst.

You say even the slightest thing that maybe you disagree with someones viewpoint or share a different one and you get you're fucking head ripped off, even by the same people in whatever group you politically identify with, thats even more wild to me. Having a different fucking opinion on something doesn't really mean you're " a part of" whatever problem it is, like you dont need to equate farmer john in bumfuck nebraska harvesting corn minding his own business with Alt right nazi shitheads, and you dont need to think everyone who leans left is some pussy that cant take jokes or laugh at shit, or is against free speech, is entitled/cant work/etc. Shit needs to chill out and we need to honestly just hash shit out and meet in the middle and stop slinging shit.

Lil Pump bought a 4.5 million dollar house, that means enough people actually paid for his shit music so now he can blow a shit load of money, next up is an Aventador or some shit. Can't believe how rich America makes piles of shit, it's insane that people like woah Vicky and lil tay are richer than most people with high paying jobs from being loud and annoying. Gotta love American entertainment.

people will still buy his new shit and his shoes and all that, its just for the social brownie points of shitting on him. same thing goes for that coachella CEO guy who is known to be a homophobe and anti-LGBTQ, yet he probably made the most money ever on coachella this year with the performers and still people went.

theres just no more consistency anymore.

I don't think things are any different, just that technology puts us in each others space more. People have always been arguing, fighting, and killing each other over politics and other dumb shit.

With Facebook etc you not only see many more opinions, but can easily post and argue with people you otherwise wouldnt have even talked to.

Uh Stowe is included on the Vail pass.

I was considering the Icon but they can suck a fat one raising the price 100 bucks on 5/1 I'm not paying for that shit now. Same thing with the Wildcat pass price goes up tomorrow. Fuck off. I will likely get the Stowe/Vail one.
