Rant About Whatever

SchizoSkierI never got vaccinated and I didn’t have Covid once. My mom got both shots and a booster and she’s had Covid twice. I’m not an anti vaxxer but the vaccine doesn’t seem to be working 🤷‍♀️

partyandBSThats cause you are young. I got covid 3 fucking times and have my vaccine and booster. Shits bunk as fuck.

But that jabroni was referring to something else. Idk i didnt read it but it was something from 2014. Pre covid

Turd__AuthorityI'm not talking about covid you fucktard. I'm talking about the antivaccine movement against childhood vaccines that existed well before that debacle. It's nonsense

SchizoSkierYa anything over like 7 lines I don’t read

mystery3This is a very telling statement my dude. You might want to start reading some more long form type stuff.

ASSholebomber22Really wanna save some cash to buy property if the market takes a shit. Also really wanna buy something shiny at the same time cuz I feel all hood rich when my bank acct starts building up.

My most recent cope is trynna justify to myself a ps5, because then I'll play vidya instead of buying more shiny shit I don't need. Peak first world problems but damn everything I love ain't cheap.

Jemsthis is about measles you imbecile

dognutsman arsenic sizing is wack, got some medium shorts are are fucking huge, and then went with a small fleece cause it matched the measurements of a fleece i like but this thing is wayy smaller

MinggBody positivity is great until people try to argue that being overweight/obese isn’t unhealthy. And usually the people complaining about the BMI scale being inaccurate are the very types of people who the BMI is actually a good predictor of health for. Athletes, body builders, large framed/wide people could easily end up in the overweight/obese categories despite being lean. So yeah, the BMI doesn’t accurately account for them. But if your BMI is 40(greater than 30 is obese) and you have 40% body fat im sorry but the BMI probably is a good indictor as far as risk factors go. Be comfortable in your own skin. That’s absolutely fine but don’t pretend like you aren’t at risk for health conditions.

little1337You’d think you’d stop spending money and just play ps5, but the sad reality is that they keep making fun goddamn games that take all my money :/

BradFiAusNzCoCaTheir hats are so tiny for my head

theabortionatorCrystal is taking a big ride on the L train. Was likely but confirmed. Trying to build something in enumclaw to house staff. Enumclaw is almost an hour away.

I'm glad I got a couple sick ass years living on mountain and shredding powder. Fuck I'd ride in the rain. People complained about wanting refunds for passes in Jan last year cause it didn't snow. I'd ridden like 15 days in a row. Fucking killing it. snow in the steeps, enough coverage to hit most shit or dodge a few rocks.

This year living off site and coming back from an injury I haven't gotten out as much. 7 days on hill and 6 were this month so not bad, getting better. Couldn't get a boot on and probably shouldn't have when I went out in late Dec.

Idk. There's people here with 10+ years that love this place in the community. Push them out, and you'll never get that back. People commuting from Enumclaw? You'll unlikely get people that stay more than 2 years 3 tops.
A bunch of people are already leaving. If the trailer spots don't get moved to GW more will leave. I really like this place but find it hard to justify staying. The pay is good and I can do what I want if what I want is a schmedium park. Ok gig. I have a title. But I want to learn, I want to ride, fuck I want to ski. Getting pushed off the mountain was a huge reason I didn't get ski boots this winter. Having the option to be close I probably would have.

I get mgmt types are stressed about housing, but they should be more stressed. In a meeting they spent 2 hours talking about the roi and increased sales from overcharging for tickets, and thats cool or whatever. Also tried to talk about being inclusive which doesn't mesh but sure. It was all profit diven, mentioning that employees matter, then how employee housing was pretty much fucked.

If you don't know crystal there's Enumclaw that's almost an hour or an hour from the mountain, Then Greenwater in the middle that's pretty much unable to find anything unless air bnb. They're going to struggle hard to staff this place.

I might come back, say fuck the park and winch full time. Also might go to a big park mountain. Probably would not have left for years if ever. Something about bulldozing your spot on mountain and then living at some shitty Christian summer camp 20 min away down a bullshit unmaintained dirt road will do that to you.

Fuck mega ski corp USA. Consistent Big L's. On the plus the real Mountain Op's jobs get harder to staff every year and the pay goes up. Will never pay dirt world money but you can ask for "a lot" these days.

Still just hoping these ski areas get burned for people run like shit. Everything into jerking marketing off, nothing into housing. People keep leaving. "Why is everyone lazy and not wanting to work here". There are a lot of jobs you can't J1 away.

theabortionatorcypherssuper frustrating to hear. always wanted to work at crystal but i'm def not tryna live in fucking enumclaw

new hotel is looking great though. good thing the tech bros will have somewhere to take their virtual meetings, would have been a real waste to build employee housing remotely near the mountain

Yeah I feel pretty fortunate to have gotten a few years on the mountain working. Was a sick community vibe in housing. Even though I was grave shift. Some epic pow days. Jist not the same.

Was nice to go to the meeting with senior mgmt the other day and explain to them how much they're fucking up. They know housing is an issue but they still don't fucking get it.

As far as Crystal, we're curting a new road into Northway this summer. I believe it's down guntower ridge. Basically going to have a top to bottom groomer into northway to make it more "accessible". Yeah really need jabronis riding northway. So much for spook trees as a pow stash. Lines plus less good snow coming soon. It's cool to have a zone at the mtn thats "wild".

I would have recommended working here in the past but wouldn't now.

With everyone moving off hill even greenwater is super hard these days to find anything. I could have gotten a trailer spot but didn't wanna commit to working here and didn't know if id have a spot next year. Not going back to hood either so yeah.

Feel fortunate to be riding after getting hurt and have gotten some great pow days in but its not the same. I love going out even at noon or 1 oclock for some park laps, maybe a south, and a couple beers at rafters.

This place is getting fucked. There's a lot of people that have been here for a long time that both know and love the mtn and feel loyal too it. They'll struggle to even staff the place from enumclaw but they'll also likely never find people who know and care as much about the mtn.

Big shame. Is what it is though.

little1337Holy fuck tinder/hinge is exhausting

nmwninjartI did great not falling all day while skiing today.
I was learning to slide a skinny flat bar and then at the end of the day in the bathroom I slip out on a wet spot on the floor.
Ski boots in the bathroom are dangerous.

Dani-BOh man I'm back on these too after like six years. Let me know if you want any tips from the 'other side'

partyandBSYeah pour the tea! Lol

Dani-BOkay, I'll try to list some things that I see guys do that don't work in their favour 👊:

- Friend group pictures. One in the deck is okay, more than one or having it as the first pic is not good. Also only use a group pic if it's obvious in it which person is you.

- Pictures with exes, try to avoid those at all costs.

- Some guys use their profiles and the app prompts to express their bitterness about an ex or how they've been burned in the past. Don't fckn do this!! If you find yourself tempted to, it might be too soon for you to be on a dating app.

- If you are looking for a serious relationship and have personal hard limits like no alcohol or not wanting kids, don't be afraid to express those. It can help weed out incompatible people quicker.

- Being unclear about what you want. On apps that use a bio area, one sentence like, "Looking for relationship compatibility only" or "Not looking for anything serious" goes a long way. It shows you are on the app with intent, not just window shopping. If its Hinge and there's no bio area, use one of the prompts to get across to people why you're on the app.

- Ski pic tips: ski goggles and layers can hide what you look like. We need to see what you look like, so make sure your first picture shows your face if you are in ski stuff. A later pic can be of you actually skiing, to show you're the real deal to other skiers.

- Gym pics: if you are looking for a relationship, one gym pic is fine if it's a hobby of yours. But if most of your pics and bio are dedicated to 'jim' and your selfies in the bathroom, I'm going to assume in an actual relationship scenario that you're narcissistic and won't have any time to actually be in a relationship, and I'm not going to swipe right on you.

- Car/hobby pics: if your a car guy, that's cool. But a picture of you with the car (working on it, driving it, etc.) is infinitely better than the car alone. I'm here to get to know you, not your car lmao. Applies to other hobbies as well; I'd never put just a bike as a picture for example.

- Let's say you get a match. If she asks you a question about yourself, don't just answer it: follow up with a question back at her. If I ask a guy a question and he answers it without also asking a follow-up question, I know he's not actually interested and I'll just let things die instead of moving things forward. After some questions you'll know if you'd like to meet them or not. Ask what they are looking for on [app in question], and if their answer jibes, ask if they'd like to meet. This keeps you from chatting forever and going nowhere.

- Finally: dating apps are a profit venture for someone else. They are rigged against both genders in different ways. So don't get down if you can't get dates or matches. Keep living life single and meeting people in your hobbies as you use these apps.

partyandBSYeah pour the tea! Lol

Craw_DaddyHere’s some real tea for you. Don’t get dating tips from women. That’s like asking a deer how to hunt. Women don’t even know what they want. How the fuck are they gonna know what other women want. Unless they’re some butch ass lesbians they don’t know shit.

Dani-BWell go on G, drop the link to your grift where real men can pay to learn from real men™ about what females want in a real man™

Dani-BMy advice is free, take it or leave it. Do you have anything intelligent to share from your own experiences?

ASSholebomber22Real talk I clown but i think you did give good advice

Dani-BAll good. Craw Daddy was close to making an actually good argument, which is that you can learn something from both sides on how to have successful relationships. But completely ignoring the demographic you are trying to get to know is silly.
