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.
I think its fine for people to do whatever but I think having like 10 different pride flags is kind of wack. Just more weird divisions. If you're not an asshole generally but also don't know what they all mean thats fine. There's been a bunch that came out the last 5 years. It's a little much
r00kieI'm pretty sure I'm getting the "I wouldn't tell him I'm not interested because I like the attention I get" treatment. I got pushed away because life got busy and told to 'wait' and now the agreed apon commitments in this murky situationship are only being upheld by me, once again being pushed away for anything else. I'm in my mid twenties and find myself playing high school games here and I'm done. Next conversation is my disengaging in this.
Also: this is why you don't date friends regardless of how you feel. Fricken sucks.
Yeah in a sorta similar spot.
Things going about as perfect as they could. Then I'm, for all intents and purposes ghosted. I'll hear from them every 2 days or so. When I ask if it's over I don't get any sorta clear answer. Just "it's perfect but I need to go to therapy hehe I always do this, but we're not incompatible and I really want this relationship but also I'm going to do literally nothing for it and just kinda disappear"
Can't get a clear answer on whether or not it is a thing anymore. What always gets me is when people say one thing and then don't support that with any sorta action. How a person goes from saying this is the best thing ever to I'm not going to end this but I'm also going to act like I don't even care about any of this a day later I don't know. Hard to not think the worst things about the person but it is what it is I guess. I think I need to start dating people 10 years older than me lmao. My brain monkey brain tells me to go the eye for an eye route but I've matured enough at this point to know that doesn't getcha anywhere good.
LonelyI think I need to start dating people 10 years older than me lmao.
I had this only once and it was so good. My last relationship was 11 years older than me and it lasted for 3 years. Never again will I find a woman that much older than me who is willing to put up with my shit

But at least it's bike season!
That is pretty spot on to me. I've been pushed away too many times now and there's so little emotional trust left that I'm sure what I'm holding on to so I'm letting go. Luckily, I'm be out in a river canyon the next six days so that and the rest of world will be totally dead to me.

yeah kinda thought the point of the OG rainbow was to represent the “full spectrum” of the community. putting a bunch of extra stuff on top doesn’t really add any meaning and just makes it less visually appealing IMO

by your own standards, not at all. why should should the latex fetishists get any less validation than the bisexuals.
and if you're asking me even this flag is excluding quite a LOT of indentities!

For sure. Logos are way better when streamlined and not chaotic.
Idk, I get wanting to inclued everyone but it gets a little overkill and looks kind of shitty in the end. Even state flags. Or company logos. The simple ones just look cleaner.

Women that do this “slow fade” race to the bottom head game shit are cowards. They do not have character or accountability and they will make your life miserable. your best bet is to call them on their shit and break up with them. If they are apologetic then let them come over and suck your dick and then still break up with them because they suck and don’t change. Your girlfriend is supposed to respect you and make you feel desired. If she’s not doing that then kick her sorry ass to the curb. The only reason women feel that they can get away with the kind shit is because dudes simp over them.

Yeah it's difficult. I'd really like to go scorched earth but I don't want to mess things up with the mutuals or with the parents. Her dad's my bud.
So yeah, polite but scathing seems the route to go. At the end of the day I think I come out of this better than them a few months from now. Something something suffering builds character or whatever that stupid quote is.
Gotta have the stick to the principles and have self respect.
Got scootered at the park. Was doing laundry nearby and skating. Park is sometimes icy/wet in the morning and even till mid day. Most of it was dry and good to go but I didn't get much time before parents brought their super little kids on bs 3 wheel scooters or just to run around like a playground kicking rocks back in.
Then they left got to skate for a bit and school got out. Scooters and helmets lying in the middle of the park randomly, chaos. Started to skate again when they were clearing off and everything was starting to get damp and ice up again.
Felt good to get out and at least got some laundry done. Wish the park was laid out/built better but it's not too bad. The bowl is perma wet for the winter it looks like. Water is coming in from the ground through the cracks. If I could skate the bowl at least it would split the park up better.
There are people that rip on scooters. I have some friends that will hit street rails on them. But I think the problem is that theyre so easy to roll around people never really learn any kind of etiquette. It's like they're at a playground.
If anyone's skated arvada in CO. That snake run is sketchy when there's kids there. You come down fast and they just go back and 4th playing tag.
I guess at least people are sort of using parks but I wish more kids would get into skating. I guess its not as big of a trend but now all these towns have parks and some of them none of the kids skate.
I'm just scared of hitting a stray scooter left on the ground or one of the million rocks that keep ending up in the park.
God damn it I twisted my ankle on some really janky stairs and I think I've damaged my achilles. It's been 18 months since I've been without an injury. As soon as I heal from one, some dumb ass shit happens and I get another. I'm going to lose my mind, I miss doing things
Cringy hallmark movie ahh essay coming in but I just realized that I honestly really enjoyed this season. Although I only skied the first and last couple weeks of the szn I was smiling and having fun in almost every clip when I watched over my edit. Also I realized I don’t need to be doing durham spins to have a cool little edit and that if I just do tricks that I think are cool and fun (I really liked that wall ride) then the tricks will come out naturally steezy on video. Also not to mention I met so many new homies this season. I regret bitching about how much skiing I missed or how unlucky I was to have such a bad accident and instead I should’ve just been grateful that I was able to get a little bit of skiing in after something like that and make a decent little edit on top of it. Having a slam like that really makes you appreciate every single day skiing even if you are just straight sliding some features and filming homies.
Turd__AuthorityThis reddit blackout is stupid. People out there forgetting it's still a business, not their right.
I never realized how much I apparently depend on reddit for information until this. Whenever I'm googling stuff for information, a lot of the times I find my answers in reddit threads. The subreddit moderators responsible for this are literally just reddit janitors with an overinflated egos
Rich people Absolutely glazing tiny homes is like glorifying poverty. And kids glazing mcmansions is like kissing ass to capitalism and suburban sprawl and terrible zoning
Exactly. They could probably query all the mods who blacked out subs, delete those people's accounts and reopen the subs. People just wanna complain
armchair_skierReddit could just disable private subreddits w a single button push too.

There's been people working on our staff housing. No worries. Today they were doing some shit loud af down at are end but was like, whatever I'll just sleep around 4. Fell aslepee at 330. We just had a fire alarm. A friggin fire alarm.
Now I'm awake I guess. They installed some stupid thing in one of the cats to keep people from falling asleep. Doesnt work at all shockingly. You need to use your mirrors, behind you, looking out the doors, different parts of the windshield. Even if you didnt it fucks out when looking straight and yells "please keep your eyes on the road".
Anyway if I fall asleep it's probably not because we need more of those but needing less alarms waking up night shift people.

Now I'm gonna be tired and in a shitty mood lol
Thats no good. Sounds like it is going to be a Red Bull/Monster kind of night.

For sure! Sucks cause its tough grooming too. Super thin. So just kinda precision and not pulling up any more rocks or dirt but some how covering rocks and dirt lol.
Hopefully the caffeine gets me through. Used to being tired so whatever I guess. Jist sucks cause I would have been nice and rested with a full sleep. Sometimes you can't get shit for sleep so kinda sucks I got denied a pretty guaranteed full night.
Get home from a week on the Owyhee to see the home river of the Payette is already down to mid/late summer flows. Rumor is the Cascade reservoir has some major infrastructure failure so no water is coming through the dam. Damn.
I am not in a good place. I keep having panic attacks out of literally nowhere, nightmares, constantly ruminating(maybe flashbacks?), and feeling like my brain could explode at any moment. Covid really fucked me up and even though I could objectively say I’m better off now than I was 1-2 years ago, I am not good.
A friend innocently asked what the most fucked up thing I’ve ever seen was working as a nurse during Covid. And it brought up a lot of not great memories. I tried to sort through my memories for something appropriate to say. Something bloody, or involving other bodily fluids that I could kind of joke about but in the back of my head all I could think of was the time a patient was gasping so bad for air that their bed was banging against the wall like they were having fucking sex. That’s how hard their body was fighting for air. Or the time I held a phone up to a patients ear while they said their goodbyes to their family who stood on the other side of the window. Or the multiple times I had to stuff dead bodies with alcohol soaked wash cloths and wrap a plastic bag around their heads so the funeral home staff was safe. It was fucking gruesome and I thought I was past it but then was asked about it and evidently it’s still in there. Watching patients with Alzheimer’s or dementia visit family though glass windows or doors, thinking they were in fucking prison, because they didn’t understand what was going on. Then to have to call family members and tell them to get here ASAP but also trying not to scare them. Hearing a doctor tell a patient “this is the end of the road. You’re probably going to die in a day or two” and have that patient beg and plead for a Covid vaccine. Life is so fucking fragile and people constantly take it for granted. I can’t get this out of my head. Please FFS don’t ask first responders/healthcare workers about the most fucked up shit they’ve seen. If they bring it up themselves, fine. But as innocent as the question is, it’s just not something we want to answer or want to relive. It’s been a week since being asked and the memories are still floating around in the front of my mind and I can’t shut it off.

JFC might consider a different line of work that stops reminding you of trauma.
I find it ignorant when Airbnb hosts charge a hefty cleaning fee but then ask you to collect all the dirty sheets and towels, run the dishwasher, and take out the trash...

I hate Airbnb. 99% of the time it's cheaper to get a hotel and you don't have to be the housecleaner

Pretty sure AirBnB doesn't take a commission on the cleaning fee, hench hosts charging really high fees. It's all a stupid game.

What's absurd is looking on reddit, people actually defend the practice saying "it's not a hotel. It's someone's house and you need to respect them and clean up after yourself"..... It's about as cringe as tipping culture in America
What is up with the sudden rise in dipshits on insta recently. Every post the comments are full of people screaming about COVID and making fun of people wearing masks? Buddy they dropped all that shit 2 fucking years ago. Or they are ranting about trans people. Like the vid will be of a chick and the top 4 comments are all dudes saying "did you just assume her gender hurdur"
All these comments have thousands of up votes too. Idk I saw the COVID ones through COVID but then they stopped. Idk why they're suddenly back really fucking annoying
showed up to school today at 7:00 am for an exam, missed rowing for it. Went to my exam room and sat down, kinda weird no one was in it and there was barely any cars in the lot. After about 15 minutes a teacher came in and asked me what i was doing and i found out i wasted my fucking morning. it’s tomorrow god dammit
The Humans of NY page is full of what you describe. There’s a lot of people who, quite frankly, need to get a fucking life. The absolute biggest fucking losers in the world

I see mad ppl talking all kinds of shit abt those titanic submarine ppl like???
My mom took her car in for an inspection and dude gave her a safety rejection sticker for not having working indicators.
Checked her car out last night and the clown failed her because the factory reflectors on the fenders that never had bulbs to begin with. Dealing with car shit sucks for women.

When I bought my used car I had a male friend come with me to avoid getting a bad deal because of my gender. He also knows more about cars so he would have spotted anything shady.
I thankfully have found a decent shop that treats me like a regular person

Oh yeah just in the few months since my dad passed away where they did everything 50/50 I’ve seen how my mom gets patronized and disrespected by contractors and now this inspection station.
We’re lucky to have the same mechanic going back like 30 years with a family friend so any legit issues will get fixed without my mom or wife dealing with misogynists.

Hot take but maybe if women gave a fraction of a shit about car stuff in the first place they wouldn't write the $800 check for a cabin filter and serpentine belt replacement.
Fuck people who give unhelpful and definitely unsolicited advice to musicians. Not from a place of malice but damn. Idk kind of a pos move. People who "play" but can't play 1 fucking song through successfully telling you what you need to change. Piece of shit move. Doesn't matter intentions you're a fucking ass.
