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.

Benn Shapiro seems like the guy that pretends to be friends with you and your girl, talks shit about you, and tries to fuck her as soon as you have a fight.

Also he hates gay people. It's 2020 dude.

Mostly correct, however there are not really just two sexes, at least it is not completely binary as there are several genetic/physical circumstances that can lead to intersex traits and things other than just xy male xx female

Roommates who have no respect for the others are the worst, it’s really not hard to not get blacked out all the time or actually turn the music down at 1am on a Thursday when I’ve been sleeping like shit and have work the next day, also don’t have to stomp above my room intentionally when I ask to quiet down.

it’s also hard to tell a college kid who’s celebrating his birthday to settle down cause you actually have responsibilities, next year I’m doing my best to not live with a college student, or more than 2.

I love when clients don't listen to my advice about why it's a bad idea to wire 50,000 dollars to a friend who's stuck in Mexico due to COVID-19 who contacted them by email. At least they just made someone's day

God people post the dumbest shit in the NextDoor app. Today someone posted "hawk sighted, protect your small animals". Lmao whatttt hawks are everywhere. People are acting like there's a teradactyl flying around haha

My other favorite was people bitching about cats shitting in their yards and flower beds. Someone literally posted a picture of a cat mid deuce and then the aftermath poop photos. Too much time I say

That reminds me of a chief engineer I worked with last year. He must have lied about his experience because he knew nothing of the job. He didnt do a lick of work, claimed all the repair jobs and harrased anyone that would speak up. He made a toxic work environment to the point the whole department almost walked out from the job. This guy endangered the ship and the departments lives without even knowing it, then blamed everyone else when something bad happened.

He sucked the captains and the superintendants cock dry; had them convinced he was the engineering God. Guy couldnt even tell the difference between hydraulic and electrical plans. He only knew how to use others to his advantage.

Thankfully, our permanent chief figured it out really fast that he was a troublemaker and serevely incompetant. That guy wanted to come back, but was refused by the permanent chief. Thank god, we would have all quit if would have came back.

I am stuck at this point of my life and I don't know what to do. I do not know if college is the right choice for me or not. I do not care about the amount of money I make in my lifetime, it simply just doesn't matter to me. I care about the experiences I will make in life and the friends and memories I will make along the way. All i want is a sufficient income in order for me to pursue the lifestyle I want.I am stressed as fuck with school and not having enough income coming in due to Covid taking me out of work for the past month is pushing me through the fucking roof. I have friends asking for help when I can't even help myself. My parents are breathing down my back telling me how I should live my life, how much money I should make and all this other BULLSHIT that has nothing to do with them. Every time I try to talk to them about this, I get fucking raped with reasons why I need to be/do better! I DO NOT FUCKING WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE THE WAY YALL WANT ME TO!! WHEN WILL YOU REALIZE THAT!! I have not been able to sleep at night because my mind races 100 mph all god damn day. I can't focus on school to save my life because my parents are constantly questioning me about it. I can handle it on my own and have expressed that to them but yet they continue to badger me. I know they mean well, but they should take the hint that I don't need this from them right now. Its overwhelming to the point that I can't even have my own thoughts. I need a god damn break from all this shit...

I have been paying it all out of pocket right now. I am going to a small community college and getting a degree as a Physical therapy assistant which will hopefully take 2 years. The school is very cheap for in state students but it is starting to bear down on me.

Well in the next 3-4 years I am planning on moving back out west to Utah after I finish up school, if I decide to go through with it. I want to save up some money first before I move so I am prepared for anything to an extent. In 10 years I hope to be financially stable to support myself and my family depending on if thats something I want. I guess I can't really say specifically where I will be in 10 years because honestly I have been told that what I want to do won't workout in the long run. I would say I am not as much focused about what I will be doing in 10 years, but rather if I will I be content with where I am at in life. That is the part that stresses me out; if I will truly be content and happy with traveling and skiing and starting a family. I seriously just don't know what I want other than to be back out west working for a wilderness therapy program or maybe continuing the job I will be getting my degree in.

Watched a chest tube be inserted today ... to be fair we haven’t covered any of this, it was just a spontaneous clinical opportunity so I really don’t know much about specifics.

BUT HOLY HELL NEVER AGAIN. I will never volunteer to watch something like that again.

I’ve never heard a grown man scream like that before. I’ve never heard a pop like that before. I’m pretty sure a rib cracked and this man had no sedation and barely anything for pain. Fuuuuck that. No way. That was borderline inhumane.

not really a rant yo but like i got touring bindings and im opening up the box to check them out and see if everythings there and they have the stickers you put on your skis for beaters who cant remember which mode is which (even though each function of the binding is clearly stated on the binding) and im like wow, skiings really getting catered to the dumb demographic now lol, i feel insulted, like immediately knew how to flip to each mode within seconds of touching the binding, imagine being sued for that horseshit "oh he forgot to sticker the instruction manual on the skis, its the manufacturers fault"

If there is one thing I’ve learned from my clinical experience it’s that even fucking medical professionals are ass at mental health. “He’s a druggie.” “Hes a drug seeker” (spoiler alert: he wasnt). Lots of “crazies,” “cutters,” “attention seekers,” and so on. I hear nurses say “so and so is full of shit” and things along those lines. Idk what I expected but a lot of things cross the line for me. America sucks, our healthcare sucks and so do most people.

Imma rant about your rant.

You're a transient, dude. You constantly move around internationally yet you bitch and expect your healthcare to be provided anywhere you go. Wtf even is this. Like I get the healthcare system is wack but maybe don't chase snow 365, get a stable job with bene's, get your 30 days in a year like a normal weekend warrior like the rest of us or quit bitching about it. It's available and more accessible than you'd ever imagine but you'll never get it if you expect it to be handed to you.

The fact that you have to suggest for Borty to restructure his entire life for healthcare is kind of proving his point lol.



Edit: lol I’m dumb Borty didn’t say healthcare sucks, I did. I still think it’s unreasonable.

So I tried to switch out my bathroom fan, was a whole thing to get it out only to discover that my oldass house wiring doesn’t have a ground, also the entire wire goes all the way from my bathroom to my dining room lamp across the house.

So now I eat in a dimly lit dining room while trying to find someone that can replace a breaker box, this all started because I found a bluetooth speaker fan/ light at Home Depot.
Now I’m out like 2 grand instead.

When my family members respond with “I know you’re very smart, but...” SKCJENSH. FUCK. This happens all the time and I should mention that my parents consistently pushed education on me and raised me as “the smart one”, and I cannot say the same is true of my siblings. They brag to other family members and friends about all the shit I do, exaggerate beyond belief to the point they almost are lying about me just to turn around and talk down to me? Wtf is that?

I wouldn’t be so butt hurt if the things they discredited were based on my interpretations or opinions since you can legitimately make arguments against stuff like that. I actually would love to have conversation about these things but unfortunately am met with Facebook facts which I have no time for. I could read out of a textbook and they’d still have a problem with it. After making my point it always ends with “I know you’re very smart, but *insert junk science here*” My new favorite is when they share blatant crap on Facebook and then blame my “liberal education” for disagreeing with it.

So frustrating. I don’t know everything but to constantly brag to people about my education and then completely trash everything I say both to me and to other people because they disagree or don’t believe in science (after literally pushing it on me for forever) is actually so discouraging lol. Like what a solid way to make someone feel completely stupid

I think you should at least have to put some effort toward giving as much as you take. I don’t think the majority of tax payers are going to be that hip to covering health insurance for ski bums that don’t want to work. The reality is, no one wants to work. Work fucking sucks ass. 9/10 Americans agree on this.

Work fucking sucks ass. 9/10 Americans agree on this.

Health insurance costs my family more than the mortgage does. It’s not as simple as saying get a job and work for it. We are well off but there are a significant amount of working people who literally have to chose between health insurance or having a place to sleep and food.

My mom got sick and had to retire early, I’m only 24 but got kicked off because it would have been $2,100 per month for them. Because of this I get Medicaid but if I were 27, in the exact situation I am in right now I’d be paying $500-600 per month which I cannot afford, and that’s still with premium assistance and with a job where I’m paying taxes already.

I’m not saying you’re wrong. healthcare and insurance is a service and there are working people within the companies that deserve compensation. It’s just not so simple as saying work for it... and as mentioned above, it’s also not as simple as sacrificing your entire life just for insurance. Realistically a lot of people already do these things and still have to go without. There are a lot of issues that contribute to this that unfortunately can’t be solved quickly.

(General statement not necessarily directed at you) I’d also recommend not being quick to judge someone’s employment status and even if someone isn’t currently employed it doesn’t mean they haven’t paid into he system for years. The numbers of people who truly cheat the system are surprisingly minuscule compared to what the public thinks. We pay into the system and should be able to tap into programs and services offered when we need them. We’ve already paid(or will be paying) for them.
And this isn’t all directed at you or an argument against your post cause I do see and partially agree with where you’re coming from. More or less just trash ramblings because I’m interested in this subject lol

Yes, but at the same time, this time off due to COVID and the pandemic has been helpful in terms of seeing the bigger picture and where to go with life, how to be smart about sustaining the lifestyle but also not going broke over it. How to keep it in your life in a healthy way but also have other goals and things to work towards. Im learning to scale a bit back and not but such a heavy reliance on it.
