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.

New truck is being a pain. The power locks are tripping out, car instantly unlocks itself after being locked, even manually. On a probably related note, the battery has a slow drain and the rig is stone cold dead if it sits for a couple days, even with a brand new battery. Will call the dealer in the morning and see what happens.

r00kie01 Tundra.


Fuck man that’s a shame, I just nabbed a AC up myself and has been nothing but gold for me. Some tie rod stuff but routine.

The first gen tundra forum is tons of help though, some helpful dudes up there. Weird but helpful.

also maybe the cab lights are wonky? Sometimes I notice mine won’t turn off for some reason. That’ll drain it a bit.

I found an old thread about it, seems like it could be some relay issues but who knows. I know I bought is 'as is' from the dealer but I'm calling in a favor. They had to put a new battery in it to test drive but I figured that the old battery was just toasted, not the truck as issues. Live and learn and hopefully the dealer tried to make it right.

ASSholebomber22Had brunch with my mom this weekend and she was so excited to talk about this long-time family friend's son who's on team summit. She's excited talking about how he'll be a future olympian, all that jazz and they're focusing so hard on getting him in comps and whatnot.

All of that's not too bad I suppose, and maybe it's jealousy coming thru, but it all sounded like those football moms who think their kid's gonna go pro but in the grand scheme of things they'd be better off focusing on academics or networking in other activities. Kind of bummed me out. The kid's a ripper no doubt I just hope they don't put all their eggs in one basket.


lmfao just seems like team summit is a waste of money

i deadass never understood how most team summit kids my age (16-17) aren’t that good. Like obv their better than the avg skier ig but if I’m throwing crazier shit than them and am better than them and I’ve never had a coach all while i can not formulate a sentence cause that sativa making me retarded I expect u to be a little better with all that professional coaching 😂

TOAST.you should definitely buy new stuff for the sake of buying new stuff.

i do appreciate friends offer for proforms, so i may. Just felt rant worthy
armchair_skierwhat BMWs are we talking about here?

340i and 335i (n54 hardtop convertible)
OFF3Pfeel the same way my friends said similar things last year
I skied 2013 sights till this year, and they had no edge cracks and were in better shape than my friends honey badgers from 2 years ago
also ski in an 80's type jacket now since someone sent for secret Santa I won't post another picture today, but it matches my moment vices so well so shoutout them

What funny is these are the same friends who take pictures and make fun of the people who wear like the $2,000 jackets. Yet theyre gonna tell me at same time theyre embarassed i dont ride this years gear, what? Haha i get the look is stale to them but chyll, i thought we were saying fuck the establishment?

Does it have any aftermarket stereo equipment? Factory keyless entry or aftermarket? Any driving/running lights added on? From my years passed hearing about these issues you are having, I would look under the steering column and see if it is a mess of wiring. Ive seen some crazy shit from home installers thinking they knew what they were doing and making the door locks do crazy shit and draining the battery. Good luck homie, I feel your pain. DM me with any questions and happy to help.

It does have a back up camera added on (no monitor which is odd) and some jank wiring right on from the battery terminals which I presume is for said camera. Starting there, if the drain is still present then I'll start having to dig deeper. Right now top priorities are getting a look at the timing belt, gettting the locks on the driver's door and capper straight, fluid flushes on trans, transfer case, and diffs, and grease drive line to smooth out some minor clunks. After that the fun begins with building out the bed for gear hauling and sleeping purposes.

Sounds like a good game plan. Good luck and let me know what you find out.

I thought about having kids one day but my partner and I just think it’s too much, especially with how schools in the USA are like.

What’s the gain into bringing more people into an overpopulated world that very well could be much different in 50 years? We have too many people and soon enough will have food, housing, and water shortages everywhere.

In America I'd say that 1/3rd of new parents are normal mostly chill people. Another 1/3rd of new parents are religious/conservatives who still think we are living in 1980. The final 1/3 are the 80iq broads who have gender reveal parties on ig live and give their kids dumbass names like "Rokk" or "Aeirht".

I think it is fairly certain we are headed towards some sort of cataclysmic event within the next century. Something on par with ww2 in terms of destruction, loss of life, and establishing the next order of the world. I don't know how this new generation of kids (who will be adults soon) will handle this. Rokk and Aeirht probably won't survive though.

personal gain. a purpose in life. something to do when you're old plus infinite joy. also if you're talking about overpopulation... don't worry because 1.) that's not gonna be the case for long (massive population crash within the next generation) and 2.) you having a couple kids is no what's causing "overpopulation", it's people in... other places... and ur kids will not go hungry. let's just say none of us using this website are at high risk for that.

And that’s the moment Russia and China have been waiting for. At some point, social media is going to cause so much inner turmoil, chaos and misinformation that we’ll get blind sided by them eventually. Whether it’s hacking, supply, physical..etc

And people think they sold us Tik-Tok for profit.. It’s a modern Trojan horse. They’re studying us with it while simultaneously lowing our self esteem and dividing us.

Just speculation but it seems like something big is coming our way and it’s gonna be ugly.

not a fan of china but i respect their grindset 💯 they know how it's done. destroying our youth while simultaneously protecting their own, it's really based to be honest. russia doesn't do shit though you're totally brainwashed if you think russia would choose to attack us without being provoked.

it would still be epic for a christian revolution in china that would be so damn cool. form a huge country with just the christians alone 💯☝

Was 0.1 of a GPA point off and had my practicum application rejected, now I have to appeal to the friggin EDU department just to take this class that I’be already been registered for. Fml.

Skiing, partying, and mental health
(funny how those always go hand in hand)
definitely fucked up my GPA the first year and a half of school. Got my shit together after that but I’m still feeling the effects of it, lowest grade last semester was an 85% and my grades have been getting better every semester since that time. Hopefully my appeal will go through and they understand that younger me was just a moron who didn’t care about anything. Fuck.

I had a similar gpa slope on my HS transcripts but found, from a friend who became dean of admissions at our university, that admissions offices actually saw it as a positive. The applicant was maturing and becoming more serious about their field of study.

Bet. Just got done with my appeal meeting a while ago, I'm hoping the EDU department will allow me to take this. Luckily my major GPA is well above the mark (although it's not my overall GPA), I completed my capstone paper last semester, which is technically ahead of schedule for me, and for the past 3ish years my GPA has been on a steady increase each semester. So with all of that I'm hoping this will work out, worst case is I have to take the class next semester and my graduation gets pushed back another semester.

Shitty thing is I totally feel capable taking this class, I'm far enough along in my degree that I have the experience needed to teach a class, and I'm genuinely super passionate about reading and writing. Oh well, only thing I can do now is wait for the committee to get back to me. Thanks for the heads up though, I totally went into the meeting with that mindset and I think it helped a lot.

Parents and legal guardians are fully within their right to decide what is the best course of action in terms of higher care when their child is hurt, but it is also incredibly frustrating dealing with parents arguing with us over protocols and just trying to ensure the highest level of care in the situation.

It's tough. I get it. This healthcare system is totally fucking trash, but don't take it out on the people trying to help. It's not fair.

And especially for you guys/girls on NS that are in the 18-26 Demographic. You're gonna be fine still being on your Parents insurance plans, and you'll find something decent once you turn 27. I promise you you're not going to go into debt over an ambulance ride and an ER/Urgent Care visit. Stop spreading misinformation because it has drastic effects and creates more issues than it does help them. You can come kick my ass if you do end up in debt but just fucking listen for once.

Craw_DaddyAlmost lost my cool and went off on some bitch who grabbed my dog by the collar at the dog park today thinking she was helping people come in the gate. If you don't own a dog and they aren't doing something that is directly affecting you then don't fucking grab them!


I'm sorry but I didn't want your big body ass pitbull giving my friends rabies cuz you can't handle it yourself. get a poodle or sum so I don't have to choke him out next time, and don't call me that

STEEZUS_CHRI5TMaybe don’t let your dog block the gate


I’m not running over every time someone comes in to pull my dog out of the group of dogs by the gate. He wasn’t even directly in front of the gate when it happened. This lady just preemptively grabbed him.
