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.

SteezyYeeterit never once would have occurred to me that it was pronounced onep. if i were to think that briefly (which i wouldn't because im not acoustic) i would instantly realize that no one would ever name their company that after one pronunciation. it's literally a 3. not an E.


same dawg, idk where the kids at my local are getting that shit from. its the worst when they literally ride on3ps

SlushSeason"One 3 P" would make the most sense. It was founded on 13th Place.
I've heard the founder call it both O N 3 P and "on 3 P" on a podcast though

So anything goes...


anything goes EXCEPT ONEP

maaatttI got the basic level of communication I had been wanting, we'll talk this week about stuff so it might not be the worst thing. But I've been around the block enough times to have a good guess about where things will end ul


This person sounds like a lot of work, doesn't seem worth your time or stressing over. Good relationships should come easy.

At least in the post college dating world.

sorry buddy, but if you've been skiing park for 3 years and can only back/front 2 off, you're fucking trash and you have no right to say im bad at park skiing. i've never done it bro, how can i be bad? that's like a skateboarder who can only ollie after 3 years calling me trash at skateboarding, even though i don't do it. now if someone who was goodl/i respected called me trash at park skiing, i'd take it, because they have the skills to back it up. but it's just extra special of you to think that im bad when i will out progress you within 2 seasons (probably 1)

Roommate had his girlfriend and her dogs over last night, which is normally fine. They made me a steak and included my in a card game and she's good company. Woke up this morning and noticed one of the dogs pooped all over one of the spare bedrooms and now I'm questioning if that steak was worth i.

Apartment management refuses to replace fridge water filter and burnt out bulbs. They replace other bulbs but not the nice ones that hang over the kitchen sink...So when we buy our own bulbs and water filter, I guess we just remove them when we leave?

really annoys me that I can have perfect 5g connection and still not load videos at more than 480p. Doesnt make sense. Must have something to do with my office as that is the only place I really watch streams or videos without wifi. Meanwhile my shitty wifi can load 4k no problem at home.

5g is a fucking scam, all marketing hype to get you to buy a new phone or something. It's way slower.

I think he just means personality-wise mainly. It's normal for teens to not get along well with they're parents. Also, some people are assholes and it's ok to say, "I don't want to be like that to other people."

Man whoever is flipping the house behind me cut down all the trees in the entire yard including a beautiful and massive sugar maple tree. This thing turns into a fireball in the fall and was probably here before the neighborhood was built in the 60-70's. I get it, your land, but still kinda sad to see something like that go 😥

fuck money lol. in no way is that a measure of your character, your ability to be a parent, shit even success in my opinion. there are so many rich couples that work themselves to death, have know emotional intelligence, don’t teach or exemplify how to navigate conflict, don’t have time for their kids, don’t teach how to appreciate, etc.

i was in mexico for a wedding and their was this dirt fuckin poor family and every night they were with each other cooking and playing cards while sitting on 5 gal buckets. they were certainly a happy family unit and i would guess they talked about their lives with each other daily. they didnt have a car, they didnt have money, they had a tiny, shitty house and they were still happier than 90% of americans

Call city planning/building/permitting or whatever it's called and see if the had or needed permits. That's bullshit. People always complain about big trees but if you look at neighborhoods that don't have trees they look like shit.

5G is a generation of cellular networks. It’s not one singular type. Most carriers haven’t rolled out the networks that 5G was hyped up to be yet. Midband (c-band ) spectrum was just released by the fcc and that is pretty close to what it was hyped to be.

Hell I don’t think any of the carriers even do voice over 5G right now.

I met an OG park guy that lives in a camper van and skis backcountry with his friends in CO everyday. He works part time as an avalanche safety instructor and canoe instructor. He was a smart man and knew how to enjoy his passion full time without a career.

I saw a dude today ripping a monoski in a custom Av's jersey with the #69 and the nameplate said Maibalzich and it was kind of great.

I wear my wings hat at work all the time and get weird looks but it kinda matches the red and white ski patrol work outfit vibe lol. I also brought my Reebok Datsyuk sweater out here too so im waiting to rip out that one for the hate.

I hate bars/clubs. Always felt out of place but hit my breaking point last night. Had a friend from out town in so we and four others went out. Said friend I'm worried about due to pretty drastic changes in her attitude towards alcohol and substance things since last time I saw her, all changing in the last few weeks it sous like. Last night she got way to deep and was very much not acting herself. She left the group to dance with a nearby guy none us knew and within a minute saw the dude reach around back and stick his hand up between her legs. She was too far gone to consent to anything and for those of us that know her knew this was not her at all. Never pulled a friend out of somewhere quicker. On the drive back she didn't fully know who she was dancing with, how many drinks she had, and didn't say anything about what happened.

Talked with her this evening. She claims nothing happened and that she remembers the whole evening. Also some polite defensiveness when I mentioned how she approaches new places and substance suddenly very differently all of the sudden. I'm still super concerned for her. I hate this.

Been in a similar situation before, after voicing your concerns once I think the move is just to forget about it, you aren’t her dad and giving her shit will probably just make her want to wild out more
