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.

in the process of replacing all my camping stuff that got stolen last weekend. don't really care about their circumstances, you've gotta be a huge fucking scumbag to drive to the middle of nowhere and lift someone's supplies. hope they're having fun with their new grill, cooler and propane because it sure took a huge shit on my week.

Thieves are the slimiest scummiest pieces of shit in the world. They're a smear of dog shit on the shoe of the world. Sorry to hear you got your stuff jacked. That seriously sucks. Keep an eye out on craigslist in the next few days and maybe it'll turn up.

Cheers to the fuck faces that wont let me turn into where i live because theyre so set on getting to the shitty non powder first.

I live in one of the parking lots here, well kind if an overfliw lot, not a listed parking lot, but if youre up that far youve passed a few parking lots. If its gridlocked coming up and you still dont let me turn fuck you.

You still have the same 12 people in front if you either way. Go fuck yourself.

random offensive words keep popping up in my mind at random times and I keep feeling like they’re going to accidentally come out at the worst times. Specifically at random times sometimes the thought “don’t say f**” for instance comes to mind and like it’s kind of really stressful.

There was a time where I used said words not fully understanding how fucked up it is. I feel as though I have come a far way with accepting other people and trying to learn/understand other cultures to minimize my ignorance. But damn I’m having fucking dreams where I drop the n word in casual conversation and it’s freaking me out.

i just thought of an analogy: honestly it feels like Tourette’s but with thoughts and not words/sounds/actions.

I forget what it's called but supposedly stuff like that is super common. Like the thought that comes up when you're driving along a cliff and you think about just yeeting off the side, even though you never would want to.

When people want to know how you're doing honestly, but also don't want to know how you're doing honestly. Like sweet, thanks for asking or whatever?

Idk, Cool I mentioned that I have severe depression and anxiety issues. Would you rather I pretended I didn't?

Idk. I'm just trying to hang on and that's nothing new honestly. Been that was for many years.

Just kinda shitty in this country the way we view mental illness. There isn't shit for resources. People judge people who kill themselves or OD so harshly and then vote against healthcare reform. Like yo dawg what do you want people to do? Oh word, people should seek help that isn't available because pieces of shit like you vote against it for whatever reasons then are th e first to complain.

I'm going to be 100% honest fuck it. I'm very likely going to kill myself eventually. This Isn't some random thing. This had been on my mind since I was 13 and very very present the last 10 years or so. This isn't a cry for help this is just letting people know my stance and how fucked our society is. There are no fucking resources. If you're an anti healthcare person for whatever stupid or racist reasons, fuck you. You're kind of a piece of shit. Quit pretending that you're a patriot or something.

What really hit it for me was during the election coverage they ran an add for a $100 discount on getting mental health therapy because times were shitty. Like really? Are you fucking serious? That really shows the issue. Times are as bad as they've ever been for most people and you ask if people need help and drop a fucking $100 off voucher.

Basically I'd say there's a 90% chance I'm gonna kill myself. How far I make it in this life really depends. There are no fucking resources so fuck you judgmental cunts right now.

I'm not going to do it tonight, this week, or probably this year, I'm just being honest about myself and the state of things. Also if you consistently vote against health care reform you don't get to complain.

I'm very lucky that I haven't fallen into heavy addictions like some of my friends. It sucks that there is no help for them either. The people that vote against health care reform and then bitch when people OD or kill themselves are toxic pieces of shit with no humanity flowing through their veins.

We need to fix our health care system now.

You know what's fun? Watching your friends that were looking into treatment but couldn't afford it OD and die. Considering mental health treatment but not being able to afford it while thinking of killing yourself every day.

I'm just laying it out there. I'm tired of this issue and tiptoeing around it. I'm being brutally fucking honest because it needs to be said. I'm 100% not the only person in this position. Think before you say stupid shit or vote for stupid people. The people you're boning are still people. If you're going to talk shit when people die, at least vote to give them the option to live.

That's all I have to say about that.

theabortionatorJust kinda shitty in this country the way we view mental illness. There isn't shit for resources.

The US isn't alone on that front. People see Canada as being better but you are really only covered for hospital visits, not even ambulance rides. Bunch of friends are going through some depressing times and they can't afford to pay 200 an hour to talk to someone when they don't have a job or are barely scraping by even though they make well over min wage.
There is a lot of shitty stuff in this world and it's easy to focus on that, but there is also a lot of good.

That sucks man. I think there will be a time in 20 years or so where we look back on this shit and think "wait they did wut?"

But yeah man i get after it. Ive been doing as much shit that msked me hsppy for a long time. Traveled to a bunch of places that didnt seem possible have worked park crew and snowboarded/skied in several countries. Learned the guitar this year which has been a fantastic outlet for me.

Basically I'm constantly doing shit that mskes me smile and keeps me living.anybody that knows me or saw me probably wouldn't even know hiw heavy my depression is.

I was just in an honest mood. Prolly wouldn't have posted that again but it's cool to be open about it. I don't think some people really understand which factors into their views and voting.

But yeah it's tough sometimes and I hate when I see the backlash in comments and comversation when somebody kills themselves.

Everyone's so quick to fire up the "but why, they had this or that, thats so messed up" and i get it but thats such a fucked up stance. Clearly shit wasn't that good for them. Clearly they have some fucking demons. Maybe think about why you didnt notice(its hard to notice sometimes though) instead of coming in with the heavy judgement to a dead person.

We need to invest nore in these resources.

In all honesty if i ever do, I'm sure ill be hit with the same. "He went to some cool places and did things why would he do that what a piece of shit". "Should have told somebody or gotten help"

Coming from the same people who not pnly dont want to hear about it, but vote against the resources they pretend exist.


It's pretty sad. I'm not trying to call anyone an asshole, but if you're dead set against health care reform maybe reconsider it. Think about it please.

Mental health reform would bring people the ability to get help for depression, adddiction, go to the doctor when their sick.

Hell i had to care my dying roommate to the car because he didnt have health insurance and hadn't gone to a doctor. He died in the parking lot. We got him there way faster than the ambulance would have come but still. It was pretty sad. Also he didnt od or anything it was the corona. Just sucks knowing that maybe if he had health insurance and went in he'd still be alive.

Our system is so fucking broken. Im open to different opinions but if you're against universal healthcare in America you're so fucking wrong. It's really just a losing argument that in 50 years will seem suoer fucked and almost unbelievable.

I swear to god mounting pivot heels is one of the most stressful things I've done.

The fact that you have to push the brakes down to access the screws, which essentially tries to pry the whole binding off, and the screws seem to tighten way less consistently than the toe ones so every quarter turn I pray to god that this isn't the one that starts it spinning

I've mounted bindings a couple times and generally feel comfortable with it but the reason you said and the very limited forward pressure adjustment on the heel leaving very little room for error I'll pay for a mount should I ever pay up for pivots.

It's all a lack of education/ understanding in terms of mental health, everything else is greed. It can be very frustrating to hear people almost gloat about how selfish they are. It's crap like "I earned my money I should be able to spend it however I want" even though there are a shit ton of laws in place to make sure that you can't buy whatever you want. Preaching about how much they support thier troops but they won't support their PTSD treatment because of slight tax hike. I think people get caught up in the competition of the material to a point that it is extremely unhealthy for all. Life can be stressful and there certainly aren't a lot of hand outs but choosing to not improve the general populations quality of life over a bit of money is greedy as fuck no matter how poor you think you are. And if money isn't the reason for not supporting mental health or universal healthcare then what could it possibly be?


On a more positve note, being open and honest can be very beneficial, I hope doing so helped you out if only for a moment.

I help some fuckin gakked out crackhead jump his car late sat night last weekend. It was dark and sketchy, and I did it despite going against my best judgement. There were red flags everywhere and I was pretty scared, I was keepin an eye over my shoulder in case it was some fucked up trap to steal my whip.

I was holding my hood up and the dude jumped close to me fast as he reached in his pocket.

I low key thought I was gonna get stabbed or shot.

I jumped away quick but he was just grabbing his phone for a flashlight.

Shit had me shook af all the rest of the day. I'm glad nothing happened but it was fuckin dumb af to help him and I haven't told anyone really cuz I didn't want people to worry. I'm just here trynna get it off my chest even if it was anti-climatic.

We had zero covid cases in our state other than overseas returners in hotel quarantine. We now have 13 cases from one hotel quarantine worker and the entire state has gone into full lockdown. Can't go more than 5km from my house, masks all the time and pretty much only supermarkets and chemists are open. It's supposed to last 5 days but last time we went into lockdown we didn't escape for 8 months.

So my zoom classes are recorded and posted so that we can refer back to them while studying. Apparently after one lecture the two professors stayed on for a couple extra minutes, presumably while all the students signed off.

One of the professors was my absolute favorite. I've had her for multiple other classes. She's funny and helpful and overall does a great job presenting the material (although she is unorganized at times). The other one is very condescending and doesn't answer questions and is an overall nightmare.

Anyways during this extra couple minutes I assume they forgot they were being recorded and they were kind of talking shit about us. They were talking about how they didn't want to be there and stuff and they were discussing how we ask "basic" questions. It was really disheartening. I had a lot of respect for them and it's just kind of a slap in the face to hear some of those things. It is super frustrating and trying hard to grasp material but aren't. Then to hear this kind of talk about us is just really sad and adds to the frustration.

I have two exams for this class on Monday and Tuesday and I'm just really fucking down now lol. I'm trying to not let it bother me but it definitely has set/changed the tone quite a bit.

PoikenzIt's all a lack of education/ understanding in terms of mental health, everything else is greed. It can be very frustrating to hear people almost gloat about how selfish they are. It's crap like "I earned my money I should be able to spend it however I want" even though there are a shit ton of laws in place to make sure that you can't buy whatever you want.

Yeah, also when it comes down to politics there's always an angle. If you're with us we support this, and everything else is those people. People are a little too all in, and the whole "Everyone is just lazy" argument is thankfully losing traction.

Also yeah, typing out thoughts helps me process things.
danbrownhey bud we may not have a great healthcare system but we do have a great system of friends that care a (n indescribable amount) lot so if you ever wanna run some shit by people I think there are more than enough of us that would like to chat!

True, much appreciated man. I usually try to be less brutally honest in the forums but I struggle with this and I get pretty down sometimes. It's tough too because sometimes in those moments you isolate even more which doesn't help. And this year has been a kind of shitty year for that with the rona and everything.

I feel like I do a pretty good job of holding it together(lol I know I don't sound like it) but for the spots I end up sometimes. Idk, just kinda trying to hang in there. We just got some good snow, and I just rebuilt one of our parks with some more flowy features so trying to ride more.

I'll steer myself back to bitching about other stuff lol.


So I just canceled my amazon prime membership.

You literally have to click yes cancel, no i actually want to cancel, yes please cancel, yes fucking confirm canceling. And that's after you get to the managing settings. It's not very difficult but it's like fuck off amazon. Makes me less likely to ever get it again. I don't really need more shit anyway.
But it's like yo dawg, I get it, you really don't want me to cancel and you have cool things or what ever, but can I go now? K thanks bye

theabortionatorTrue, much appreciated man. I usually try to be less brutally honest in the forums but I struggle with this and I get pretty down sometimes. It's tough too because sometimes in those moments you isolate even more which doesn't help. And this year has been a kind of shitty year for that with the rona and everything.

I feel like I do a pretty good job of holding it together(lol I know I don't sound like it) but for the spots I end up sometimes. Idk, just kinda trying to hang in there. We just got some good snow, and I just rebuilt one of our parks with some more flowy features so trying to ride more.

all good! say what you need to say

B.AussieWe had zero covid cases in our state other than overseas returners in hotel quarantine. We now have 13 cases from one hotel quarantine worker and the entire state has gone into full lockdown. Can't go more than 5km from my house, masks all the time and pretty much only supermarkets and chemists are open. It's supposed to last 5 days but last time we went into lockdown we didn't escape for 8 months.


I’ve been heavily watching your open in Melbourne. Is this spread from tennis fans visiting ? I saw they got rid of the fans on Saturday and the matches are not the same

Nah it started from a return Australian in quarantine who spread it to a couple of workers on the floor who spread it to the community. The reason why the fans aren't allowed at the tennis is because everything in the state is banned other than essential workers (which tennis players are a part of but also includes hospitals, supermarket workers etc.) going to work and going to the supermarket. We're not allowed more than 5km from our homes or to leave more than once to go shopping. Our premier (kind of like your govenor) takes a super hardline approach. We were in a similar level of lockdown for like 8 months last year. I like like 10km from the tennis so I'm super sad I can't go.

That sucks! The fans in the stands make it soooooo much better. I mean at least you guys have the virus under control whereas in America no one listens to any rules. I’ve always wanted to see Melbourne and the Aussie open. I go to the us open every year

Nadal against thiem in the quarters. 5 setter that went until 1 am. By far the best match I’ve seen. Believe it was 2018. The entire stadium was going nuts. Love me some good tennis

I played D3 tennis in RI for my team but I was only a practice team member. We played hardcourt and clay and a little grass. Grass is insane it’s so fast.


I bet you’re pretty good. Ppl with their own courts are always good. My dad was obsessed with tennis and we almost put one in our yard but my mom shut it down and we got a pool instead.


grass courts are a thing of beauty.


who you like in this Aussie open?

Oh lol I'm just 17. the court is my dad's favorite child though. I'm pretty good and would make varsity if I tried out (maybe next year since I'll be a senior), but I'm a lacrosse dude. My dad's always played tennis though and had a hardcourt as a child, then he went to England for his 40th birthday and checked out wimbledon, which only made him want a grass court more.

Ya know, I'm pretty sad Federer didn't play, but I love to watch Nadal too. Zverev is always interesting, since he's younger but still up at the top. I have a passionate hatred against Djokovic though lol. Also Wawrinka losing to Fucsovics was a dissapointing loss, but one hell of a match.

My man!! FUCK DJOKER. He’s such a whiner and pretending he’s hurt. I’m a big nadal fan and always root for him. I’d love to see zverev tsitsipas or medvedev win if it means Djokovic loses. Rublev is lights out

MinggSo my zoom classes are recorded and posted so that we can refer back to them while studying. Apparently after one lecture the two professors stayed on for a couple extra minutes, presumably while all the students signed off.

One of the professors was my absolute favorite. I've had her for multiple other classes. She's funny and helpful and overall does a great job presenting the material (although she is unorganized at times). The other one is very condescending and doesn't answer questions and is an overall nightmare.

Anyways during this extra couple minutes I assume they forgot they were being recorded and they were kind of talking shit about us. They were talking about how they didn't want to be there and stuff and they were discussing how we ask "basic" questions. It was really disheartening. I had a lot of respect for them and it's just kind of a slap in the face to hear some of those things. It is super frustrating and trying hard to grasp material but aren't. Then to hear this kind of talk about us is just really sad and adds to the frustration.

I have two exams for this class on Monday and Tuesday and I'm just really fucking down now lol. I'm trying to not let it bother me but it definitely has set/changed the tone quite a bit.


thats awful, especially since there are people undoubtably trying hard in the class to understand the material. I think thats one thing professors need to keep in mind when they teach is that they've had years to master the material and this is the first time a student is most likely hearing about it; it's gonna take some time! It also doesn't help if the professor doesn't want to be there, I'm an engineering student and a lot of the professors get jobs as professors because they have opportunities to do research and not because they want to teach which can be very frustrating at times.
