Rant About Whatever

_Garagely_I thinking about doing something like this after I get my degree - a few years at a large public firm, then a transition to industry or government or whatever. Do you have any general advice for this kind of route? It seems pretty common in accounting as far as I can tell.

I worked at a large publicly traded company for 5 years and busted my ass. 12 hour days for about half the year. I was working some Saturday’s too. It sucked but it pays off In the end. Companies really like to see the experience. I’d recommend doing public accounting or corporate accounting for 3 year or so if you can. It’ll help you long term.

My sister did exactly this. After her degree, hired onto a public firm for about 3 years and then was head hunted by a private company. She worked for them for about 10 years and then the government offered her a job which she accepted and worked for them for about 6 years. She later got tired of all the travel and went to a small credit union which she worked at for about 4 years and just got burnt out at dealing with it all. She currently works at a ski shop and is loving life.

It's the weird time of year when snow conditions can suck ass to ski and the trails haven't dried out for mtb.

Tried getting some excersize 'road biking' just to break in my ass bones for the season and it is SO FUCKING BORING.

Why tf do people like road biking? What's the challange? Just excersize? I don't understand it.

fuck me I have been unable to write this paper due to immense fucking stress so I have to pull my second ever all-nighter then go to work make sure our awards ceremony will be functional then go to class then go to my roommates birthday dinner and pack for my month-long trip that I leave for on Saturday WHY DO I DO THIS

this is true haha, I'm going to take my last lunch for the week tomorrow and do the last 300 words then. I'm at 700 so it shouldn't take too long? Only needs to be 3,450 (because I'm batshit) words

When I started road biking it was the only way I could push myself when exercising because I didn't want to be the guy pushing his bike up the hill. Now I actually enjoy it, it's nice riding around my area looking at things I dont really notice when I'm driving, plus I've learned all the roads much better.
Just bought a mountain bike last fall, we will see how that goes, falling on a mountain bike terrifies me.

Golf courses are a waste of space

The referenced post has been removed.

This. You guys can't complain that golf courses are harmful while taking chair laps at your favorite ski area. You're not wrong but you're definitely not removed from being a bit full of shit tbh

BdoobzGolf courses are a waste of space

If golf us the tool that gets some people outside and somewhat active who cares. As already said ski resorts are the same, as well as baseball fields, disc golf courses, bike parks, skate parks, etc. Lowkey, operating a smaller, cheaper golf course would be a sick semi-retirement job.

why the fuck are these realtors asking for my bank info and car registration when i’m not gettting the fucking house

Jemswhy the fuck are these realtors asking for my bank info and car registration when i’m not gettting the fucking house

lol only a matter of time until they start making us write application essays. god i hate landlords

Fuck you HV I was excited for your stupid fucking bike park. And instead you charge 40$ for 3 rides and not offering day passes. Just to build 3 flow trails 2 greens 1 blue. No fucking jumps either. You POS management tourist trap sell out. I’ll stick to building more illegal trails at your mtn. Fucking morons loosing all me and my homies business. Along with many others

You have deer in the area?

OregonDeadYou have deer in the area?

Try rat traps too.

OregonDeadYou have deer in the area?

Yes, but dont think its them. The seedlings only had like 4 leaves and most are still there, they just are no longer attached to the roots. Also no bite Mark's on any of the leaves that are still there

Some kook hit our IG about us needing bigger jumps like whitepass. Dude has the sketchiest 3s and 5s and doesn't grab.

Like bro, idk that you should even be hitting a big jump.

Idk, people love to talk shit, same as always just annoying.

Other guy that constantly talks shit is a poelmon card dealer lol.

Whatever, next year our parks will hopefully be even better than they were this year.

I do agree with a few comments though. Ine person complained about or flow/bowly style park being rough. It was getting groomed like shit(i hadn't groomed it in 2 weeks till last night)

I really hate lazy grooming. Was fucking bummed to see the effort somebody put in. Well lack of effort. My cat was do was down so i was in a super old cat.

Idk talking shit to parks on IG really doesn't help. Unless a mountain had a really sketchy park, if they improve on something you bitched about it's probably something they were going to do anyway and had nothing to do with you being an ass.

Comments have been generally positive though. The pokemon guy is pretty funny though. He seems like hed complain no matter what we built.

But yeah, it's annoying when people complain the rails are too small but come off early or have no tricks on them. Same with jumps. The junps are too small lol! But can't do a 5 without flailing violently and possibly landing on side.


The riders that actually rip generaly give good constructive feedback. Even if they want bigger jumps or rails. It's usually the park kooks that complain the most.

Maybe they can do a 5 or a fron flip, hit some rails. So they ride park, but they aren't very good. Big fish small pond stuff.

Hoping we can build a dope scene here over the next few years. Looks like I'll have a lot more control over the parks next year.

Also it's about to be May tomorrow. Most mtns have shut for the season. We have a pretty solid park offering for this late plus rain and hot days midweek.

Stoked for next season!

Guys, I don't know what the fuck to make of this. Please help.

So there was a friend that really helped me the past 6-7ish months with my ex boyfriend. He also was in a toxic relationship so we kind of went through that shit together. He was always there for me and I was there for him. We've known each other for like 6 years and even though we haven't been in constant communication the whole time, I'd say we were pretty good friends when we were in contact. And then when we were both at the end of out long term, toxic relationships respectively we got the closest we've ever been.

So fast forward to January, he pretty much convinced me that I could do better and that I needed to get out. He helped me break up with my boyfriend and kick him out of the house. This is all things that needed to happen. Like my ex was abusive and it was not safe for him to be here. So I don't think I broke up with my boyfriend for him but he definitely gave me that extra encouragement that I desperately needed. Around the same time he broke up with his girlfriend.

Back in like October he told me that he had a crush on me back in the day and he flirted with me a bit but I was still with my boyfriend so I never really engaged in it. But once I was single(end of Jan) I started to. He honestly came on to me pretty strong and then we got together(March). So now at this point he's my new boyfriend and he's still coming on to me strong - after a couple weeks he was telling me he loves me and that he wants to do everything with me, I'm his soul mate, his everything, love of his life, etc. I met most of his family and friends, he met some of my family and we spent a lot of time together. He was always the one to initiate cute shit and honestly it was nice. I'm not really the most open person with like feelings and stuff but I kind of really liked that he was so into me. Also given my past relationship I definitely felt really safe with him.

This past weekend he found out some stuff about his ex - she is actually garbage tbh. I don't know for sure if he is over her. I think he is, but I know for a fact he is not over what she did to him so hearing more of the shit she pulled really hurt him. And I understand that. But he like essentially ghosted me and I'm so confused how we went from him being super into me to like crickets. We talked earlier this week and I told him that if he needed to take some time for himself then that's totally understandable and he should do it. He told me he loved me and that I was awesome and then later that night stopped responding but he was on instagram (I went to send him a meme and it said he was active) and he never read my text so he def was avoiding reading it until the next day which he never responded to.

That was Monday, and tonight I texted him to see if he was doing alright and he answered once then left me on read. I don't even know if were still together or what is really going on. I'm the one who brought up the idea of him needing space. Like I asked him if he needed space so I feel kind of clingy by trying to communicate with him but I also feel like it might be reasonable to maybe clarify some things? I don't know. I'm just confused and don't know if I did something wrong. I also don't want to lose him as a friend. Like he means a lot to me as a person but this silence is kind of killing me and I don't know what to do lol. I was thinking about maybe hitting him up in a few days to see if he'd want to hang out sometime next week to chat and figure shit out but I don't even know if he'll respond to me.

I think the obvious analysis of this situation is that he isn't over his ex - which I understand. But he isn't any less over her now than he was a month ago so I don't really understand what changed.

He's definitely still clinging to (and most likely seeing) his ex. Things are falling apart with them and he's afraid to be alone so he's looped you in trying to balance plates.

He ain't the one 2021 Mingg. Think of it like, he's tied a rope around your neck and you're so busy suffocating that you haven't even noticed he's let go of the other end.

Don't be a doormat to this indifferent asshole.

@Mingg

lmao nothing screams "millenials" more than (purposely?) hideous comics about dating in your 20s

larilinesign@Mingg

*snip*

One of the only things I can really think of in relation to Ming's situation is that they got hot and heavy/started getting closer, hooked-up, he had post-nut clarity and the immediate panic of "oh shit, idk if i want a relationship rn" and is trying to bail out. He used you as a rebound and is catching feelings for his ex again like you said. And he's being a huge baby about it.

I would honestly be okay with that if he would just like say that lol. The whole just like not knowing what happened irks me.

The weirdness with mamagement types and saying the right word. Or just people selling themselves as better.

I'm going to be taking over the parks next yeat or at least the grooming and play a heavier role in the parks, but the guy that I was working under who was a constant obstacle was asked or set it up to design a plan for the parks next year.

Like dude didn't even get it done this year. And he's leaving. Why ise he designing a plan for me?

I get the idea with a person leaving, selling a business, or whatever where the person stays on to make sure the transition is smooth, or gets a plan set up etc. But I've been here as long as him. Ive been here since mid November and him since probably late October.

Early season we had 6 jibs baby jumps(the bmx table looking ones) and that was it.

I could have switched out the entired layout once a week easy, but kept getting shut down to even change a feature. It was dumb.

Like i get if you want to be lazy and not swap features but we he had the same setup for a mont and a half. Like yo this is our only lar2k lets keep ot fresh, or at least let me.


Started going rogue a little more but wanted to stay on good terms not start anything because wanted to work here for a while.

Then went fully rogue on another park and turned it from two shitty lines of features that wasnt that interesting into more flowy skate bowl vibe with some hips and shit.

Idk. Even the last few weekend hes been grooming the parks mostly because my park cat is down for the season and the cat I was usuallly in doesnt do so well in parks.

Anyway things have been getting groomed pretty sloppy. Just nice to go out strong. Somebody called us out on insta about the skate style park being heinous one day and they weren't wrong.

Idk, just dont get leaving like that just because you dont care anymore, and don't understand why he is the lead on making a plan for me to cary out next year.


It's all good though. Next year I'll have way more control and hopefully we can raise the park from the peak of this season.

Hoping to build several beginner boxes and rails this summer, a couple intermediates, and maybe a zrail for the better riders. Get the s rail fixed, and fix a few other features.


Hopefully will be able to find some motivated people to work with and grow the park scene here over the next few years.

At least this place treats me decent, a ton better than Vail and I'm learning a bunch. Going to keep building next year and just trying to get better in a cat and also get some spots dialed in for pur parks in terms of the spot for the junplines, flow features, jib lines etc.

Alwaya a little stressed about new opportunities and the unknown but thats good in away. I'm honest with myself about my abilities and my aspirations.

Hopefully in the next season or teo we'll get this place more competitive with the other parks in the PNW.

But it should be a good experience. Glad i moved up here.

Buying real estate as an investment is unethical

BdoobzBuying real estate as an investment is unethical

How so?

r00kieHow so?

My guess is because it encourages a profit over quality strategy. I think you can make it a great living experience and make profit too

BdoobzBuying real estate as an investment is unethical

Why? They can fix the place up and charge more for rent. So at least when you csnt agford anything other than ramen after paying rent you have a granite counter top in your kitchen to prepare it.

MinggI would honestly be okay with that if he would just like say that lol. The whole just like not knowing what happened irks me.

It sounds like he needs to get his shit figured out. If he really does love you, then he will hopefully not do it at your expense. Sorry to hear he is being a bit of a wanker.

r00kieHow so?

More targeted towards the people who own 10 condos. It just exacerbates unaffordability for the average person.

No kidding. A 20 year old Toyota with 300k asks $7,000 right now. Hence why the rear interier of my car is ripped out with plans to weld in a bunch on new metal to save it from rust instead of buying a new vehicle.

Word, I feel that. I live in a semi-rural area where it's pretty flat, so right out there door it isn't too exciting. The distance to any appreciable elevation change is the distance to the mtb trails anyways for me, and I'm fortunate enough that it's only a 15-20 min drive away

I’m supposed to be in Moab, but I forgot my seizure meds in Montana so I’m stuck in Colorado for another day as they fill my prescription. I would forget my crucial meds at home.

:(

I have good news! 1- were friends and 2- he hasn’t fully worked through his last two relationships and wants to stay single for a while to get his shit together.

Which I’m really happy about because he deserves to put that shit behind him and if being with me is gonna hold him back from that then I want no part of it. It’s also a good opportunity to focus on me for a while too. So good news all around!
