Rant About Whatever

BiffbarfIs it that people don't outwardly express their passions?

RparrI genuinely believe that most people don’t have any. Like, not a single one. Couldn’t imagine living like that

hdubsThey’re all npcs that just exist to create obstacles. It’s how I feel when I’m standing in a lift line. Nobody’s looking around nobody’s moving except through the line no ones listening to music or enjoying themselves or admiring the beauty all around them. Even when you talk to them there’s nothing really THERE. I feel like most people are living empty lives with no true aspirations or any meaning in their lives

BiffbarfI just got the overwhelming sensation that way too may people are milquetoast squares that are either too scared to be who they really want to be or have been constantly surrounded by mediocrity that they simply just don't know any better. Now, I know this isn't the case and I understand that it's probably a me problem I just can't figure out why I feel the way I feel. Is it that people don't outwardly express their passions? Is everyone just a walking talking hollow shell? Why does it bother me so much that the majority of cars on the road are crossover suvs?

WoFlowzIk the lifty was just doing his job but why couldn’t he just let us put 6 people on Morningstar (4person express that services HV’s park). We had just done 5 and he didn’t do anything and then we had 6, everyone fit perfectly and he stops the lift makes us get off and yelled at us and had ski patrol yell at us like fuckkk off dude, we’re just having fun cause the park has had the same 5 features since Christmas

mrk127Bruh you really tried to put 6 on a quad?

WoFlowzYeah we had 5 np. It’s not like 6 14-16 year olds take up much space

SendyMcSendyfaceDude you're a fuckin dumbass. Ya gotta realize, that if someone sees you, that lifty is getting in major shit. Hell, if his manager is in a bad mood, he's getting fired. Maybe he didn't quite notice you put 5 on, maybe he thought you guys were just gonna do it once and then let it go. Shit, maybe he was a little blazed and didn't realize until you tried to get 6 dudes on. It's not his fault that the park hasn't had a feature upgrade. It's not even under his control, he's just some dude trying to get by making minimum wage. If you've got a problem with the park, talk to park crew. Fuckin volunteer to help put some new shit or something. Honestly though, the reason the park hasn't had a new build is probably because management doesn't give a shit. So take it up with management. Don't get pissed at low level staff who have 0 control over anything. They get fucked over all day by management, they don't need to be getting shit from some degen kids too.

TOAST.I saw a group of 4 kids all with identical dope snow jackets, all wearing very similar backpacks, all with one one of those big hood facemask things that go over helmets, only difference was the color of the hood thingy and it reminded me of this.

CatdickBojanglesI’ve seen this so much recently. They all match and they all have Blenders goggles. All the colors are like pastel colors too I don’t get it.

TOAST.I feel like back in highschool if one of my buddies bought the same jacket as me I'd be kinda pissed. Not that's its that big of a deal, but I don't want to look like a clone.

cypherscrystal mountain FWQ event costs $170 to enter and is scheduled on a fucking tuesday. tough sell for literally anyone. exhibit A on why adult freeride is an absolute snooze fest compared to what it could be

DeebieSkeebiesI feel this. Throw in lodging, travel costs, etc. for people traveling and its an even tougher sell. Plus IFSA ticket discounts aren't that much sometimes, you're still shelling out 90-100+/day for skiing.

There needs to be some mini local circuits that are easy on travel and are all about bringing people into an area for a weekend or something. I know insurance is hard and its hard to get resorts to get on-board but i am also tired of IFSA FWQ just being a bunch of rich ski academy kids.

WoFlowzAll the mens arc jacket colors besides the olive green suck. A bunch of the girls colors are sick tho and it’s annoying

twinkle_toesI have to disagree... what are some examples of jackets / colors that the boys don't get in their outerwear lineups ? gimme some visuals here lol

BigPurpleSkiSuitJust give me a whole Indigo purple jacket like right away

twinkle_toesShiiiiit I was actually looking for an indigo purple shell for my backcountry kit !

What color accents would you have on the rest of your kit tho ?

WoFlowzA lot of their womens jackets are offered in maroon, purple, different shades of green or blue. The mens are mostly just green, black, blue or red

twinkle_toesDude yea. The squid ink color is sick.

But the fit is garbage lol... That's just my personal opinion of course. I'm sure there are a lot of women out there who like the tight fit and aren't greasy park rats

Sdot.Being a die-hard 49ers fan was rouuuugh yesterday... especially since I'm married to a die-hard Chiefs fan.

DeebieSkeebiesmy boss seriously wants to get up at 3:45am to drive from SLC to Targhee to get an extra day of skiing in, which sounds cool, but he's salty the group isn't on board with it and they want to drive up later instead and have a mellow travel day before a big weekend of comps. Chill bro these kids need rest and so do we.

mystery3Fourth quarter was trash. That being said I had zero expectations going into the season so a trip to the nfc championship game was a pleasant surprise.

Sdot.Agreed on both counts. Didn't reduce the heartbreak on my end by much, though.


Speaking of surprises, it looks like I might have to pay over $25K in federal income taxes... on top of the $60K I've already paid just from my income. Received my husband's W-2 yesterday, and his employer has only been paying 5% toward federal income tax, even though they know what our gross income is. What in the actual fuuuuck?!

cydwhitLord. The skiing here is not good enough right now to get me out of bed anytime before seven. He can cool his jets.
