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.

my parents want me to learn financial responsibility but they refuse to get me a debit card, and they never will. i won't have one until i turn 18. so i never spend any money, so it doesn't have any value to me.

should i spend $730 on new flylow clothes? i need something new and it's hard to find stuff. every single year my stupid dad is like "oh we should have gotten stuff in march because that's when there's sales and then it can be affordable" but he never does. keep in mind i have no way to spend my money so i can't take advantage of this. so when the season comes around and we have to start buying things there's no sales on anything good.

october is a great time to get last years inventory cheap. also, when i was in high school i was only allowed to have an atm card. that way if i wanted to make a purchase i had to make the additional step of going to an atm. that way young pabs couldn’t make impulse purchases and my parents digged that

now i make lofty impulse purchases like bikes and skis etc. i didnt learn a hod damn thing from having that atm card lol but something you could pitch to your rents if you really wanted to

Drove to North Carolina and back this past weekend and one of my friends really got on my fucking nerves. The drive down was fine but on the way back he was just acting like a child.

First he just leaves his edibles on the dash when we stop to get food, which is hella illegal in NC. I ask him to put it away and he almost refuses and keeps asking what the point is like he just wants the unnecessary risk of having something in plain view that CLEARY has weed in it.

Then he's the first one to start the drive back and is really not a great driver, riding the lines and whatnot and camping in the left lane, getting passed on the right, and fiddling with the music he insisted on having instead of just skipping the songs he doesn't was to listen to on a 70 mph highway. We're giving him shit for it too because obviously I don't want to crash and everyone hates left lane campers. We're also playing car games because they're fun and he keeps getting annoyed at us cuz we were being too loud or some shit. Dude ends up getting so pissed off that he jerks the wheel and slams on the breaks in the middle of the highway and swerves off onto the shoulder. Like you don't almost crash my car then park not 2 feet off of a busy highway cuz you're salty act like a fucking adult.

He only drove for an hour and a half and an hour after almost getting us in an accident he refuses to get back in the middle and instead forces the 6'5" kid to squish in there after insisting multiple times throughout the weekend that he could be in the middle the entire time after driving. The kid also keeps getting mad at us for playing car games cuz we're trying to stay awake on a 10 hour drive when its dark out and we have 5 hours left to go.

I get that he's tired and is sore and overall doesn't feel great but everyone else feels exactly the same. If you don't want to drive anymore then say that and pull over safely and let everyone else in the car try to enjoy the ride instead of trying to kill us then complaining the whole time.

Been here 5 times have multiple friends in the reserves. Americans are stupid but the people in Gaza are certainly oppressed. I'm conservative and I recognize that. They live like shit and are basically in a ghetto. What do you expect them to do ?
BigPurpleSkiSuitI lived in Israel for 3 years back in 2013-2016, so far all of my friends are alive, and they've all been called up from the reserves. It pains me to see how utterly ignorant liberal America, and the US in general is when it comes to the issue to the point where on Oct 7th I see friends and acquaintances posting on their gram "I support Palestine" and being totally oblivious to the fact that not only are a massive portion of the civilians of Palestine supportive of Hamas' actions that day, but the ones who aren't are used as pawns of those murderous kleptocratic governments.

People, particularly the liberal group in the US, love supporting an underdog regardless of what actually occurred or is going on, and it's personal for me because I lived there, know what goes on, and have friends who may be going into the worst possible battlefield I could imagine in Gaza where they will face drone warfare, and the rampant use of human shields by Hamas in an urban setting while Hamas fights out of the tunnels they've spent the last 15 years building and operating out of under civilian infrastructure.

A couple decent options there? I didn't look through jackets too much but if you search 2022 jacket on flylows site you'll see a bunch of options on sale.

If you're willing to rock the "flamingo" pale pink colourway the baker bib is on steep and cheap for $193 or something.

Not indiscriminately launching thousands of rockets and killing hundreds of civilians in just about the most barbaric ways possible while normalization is being pursued would be a start.

I think that this has been a real mask off moment for most of the (farther) left. The unwillingness to condemn a group and it's actions that negatively effect both the Palestinian and Israeli people. Acting as a mouthpiece for terrorists in the case of multiple reputable news organizations in the last week and quite literally posting "fake news". Using history as a justification where it is convenient, and ignoring history when it is not. All to justify attrocity and draw a moral equivalency where there is none.

The list of Israel's sins is long, and one can absolutely be critical of Israel. But if that is the case criticism of Hamas, and to an extent the Palestinians in Gaza is warranted as well.

normalization of what exactly? israeli occupation?

yeah the palestinians should just go walk over and smoke a peace pipe with the IDF soldiers who just got done annexing their homes and killing their families. fuck that i’d be launching rockets too.

Depends all on the year. I’d say they are good, in a sense that they are thick shells, very wind proof and decently waterproof, but they aren’t fancy materials and lightweight like newer techy gear.

There is no Israeli occupation in Gaza. Israel forcibly removed settlements and Israelis from Gaza in 2005 . Following this Hamas was elected and took control of the Gaza strip in 2006 and 2007.


Occupation does exist in the west bank and the west bank is administratively run by the Palestinian Authority. These are two different places, with two different issues.

On October 7th, Hamas militants crossed into Israel from Gaza, killing, torturing, and kidnapping civilians by the hundreds. Including children and infants. I could send some of the videos if you would like. Hamas militants chopping off the head of a foreign worker really does scream "justified revolution" apparently

But thank you for proving my point that many are very willing to be confident incorrect and not understand any of the differences or nuances of the issue.

i have seen those videos. i’ve also seen videos of israelis filling wells with cement, forcibly removing palestinians from their homes, and giving 10 minute warnings before calling in airstrikes on the others.

most importantly i’ve seen videos of gazan protesters tear gassed, beat up, and hosed down. that has been going on for a decade if not longer.

so my question is. in your head at what point will it be acceptable for palestinians to use force themselves? the average age is just over 18 (many of their parents have been killed), they have very little drinking water, and their homes are either rubble or have been annexed. they are forbidden from crossing the border to leave. protests have been tried and failed countless times. what options do they have left?

facts. it just takes another level of evil to decapitate people as opposed to depriving them of food. ig what my point is that you have no humanity left if you are killing people, but by indirectly killing them and not having to face it, it shows that you still feel guilt.

yeah you won’t catch me defending war crimes. i’m just saying it’s hard to blame palestinians for a) choosing to fight back and b) not having a democratic means to choose how it’s done

The median age is 18 because they have way too fucking many kids and reject any form of family planning. The strip has never been able to sustain itself yet they still managed to double their population in the past 20 years.

That's just about the easiest thing to get in terms of international aid. If they'd accepted it, they would have it. Organizations like the Gates foundation literally give it away, it's such a cost effective way of reducing poverty.
Do you think that counties and NGOs enjoy having to send hundreds of millions of dollars in food aid each year?
