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 don’t know your family situation but I can almost guarantee that is not the case. Don’t think that way about yourself
SteezyYeeterI can't help but think my family would be better off without me. I mean they'd be sad if I died right now but if I was never born they'd be better off.

definitely not the case, and if it is hold in there. i’ve got some real works of parents but don’t think that way. A lot of shit stems from generational trauma or teachings when it comes to how parents or family members treat their children

WoFlowzwell i’ve sorta accepted if i continue drinking i going to be an alcoholic. it runs in the family i shouldn’t be suprised but after saturday i think im done drinking. I keep telling myself just this one time, but it always ends in me blacking, not being hung over and being kinda mentally desolate then sad the next few days. definitely not healthy but makes it hard to be social with people my age. I enjoy dd’ing and i also enjoy zyns tbh. just sucks and i can’t smoke cause of crew and drink be cause ill be a alcoholic


Woflowz don't become a nicotine fiend it's not worth it. If you do become a nicotine person don't do zyns, that's lame as fuck, import snus.

Snus is wack. There are 13yo kids doing it here. They got addicted to nicotine through vapes and now they will use anything that has nicotine in it. I could probably sell gummy bears in a mini grip bag to them if i said they are nicotine bears.

Not really the right thread but it's relevant right now. Did kids smoke tobacco back in the 1700s when it first became a big reason for settling North America?

From what I know tobacco wasn't as large of a thing until WW2. People saw it as more of a luxury before then....then tobacco lobbied to be included in the MRE's for soldiers so basically every soldier came home hooked, and boosted the tobacco industry to where it was through the mid to late 1900s

yeah the game definitely has grown a lot in the last 5 years or so it seems. My local course gets packed out during peak hours in the summer, but theres still lots of quieter less populated courses around me. Havent played yet this year in MN but starting to feel the itch!

There is both. I haven’t paid attention in awhile but General can be found at gas stations. There’s also this disgusting artificial mint Camel snus. It’s different from the camel Snus sold in Sweden. It’s been years since I’ve touched any tobacco but these are my observations.

My wife’s brothers still use snus. They use Odens because “it’s strong” 🤮

They use odens because it's the cheapest one(i dont actually know any prices but i assume it is because all of the kids and poor people use odens).

Got tomorrow night off because my friends band is coming down to play. Not always easy to get a day off but got it. Now its the night before and got home from work. Thinking I might have food poisoning. Hopefully not. Been a while.

Last time was 10 years ish ago with some friends in NYC/Yonkers. His dad bought us mexican. I texted buddy and was like duse, how are you feeling. He was fine then like 8 hours later he was in the campus med and texted me. Then our other friend got sick.

Idk. Hopefully not. Still gonna try to make the show but wouldn't be chill if I was sick all night/tomorrow. Good friends of mine and my first friday off of the season. I'm getting them tickets regardless but I wanna ride with them obviously.

Ahh the ol "I should've stuck college out, I would have a stable career by now at 28" blues are rolling back in. Ive spent so much of my own money to able to stay above the water in my field whether its gear, continuing education, certifications, etc., in the last two years that its disheartening and depressing when you get your paycheck. Its like you almost work for free somedays despite clocking in and out. I did my taxes last night and worked three jobs and still somehow made even less money than the year before. Its insanity. Im about ready to walk and let rich kids and J1's take all these fucking dogshit ski industry jobs.

Fuck this. All because some retards with finance degrees couldn't even budget correctly.

Idk if this helps at all but dude there are so many software jobs that don’t require degrees and where training can be accessed online for free or just a couple hundred. Like it’s crazy dude. The initial entry job can be difficult and competitive but after that you’re basically set (within reason). They’re worth looking into if you’re burnt out. I’m on the Salesforce route and they require no degree. I see people 40+ Y.O. entering the ecosystem all the time.

Considering stuff like SalesForce actually. My mom has been in the corporate travel/travel sales industry for over 30+ years and just started her own app and has been hounding angel investors to give her a chance. Very well-versed in Salesforce and other things like that. It could be a solid side gig on the side of Patrolling.

Just sent in my re-cert application for my EMT, knocked-out all of my other required certs for work, and one step away from completing my checklist for the season so I can be certified for next season.

It's gonna suck working 2-3 jobs this summer but I really need to prepare for next seasons shenanigans. This was a wild season and it flew by so fucking quick.

this new coaching staff at the rowing club is making me lose my mind. my head coach needs to put her foot down god dammit. I’m not dealing with new coaches who have no idea what they’re doing or talking about screaming at me on the water. I’ve bowed boats in this god damn river for almost a year and a half now as well as raced my single. I should not be reprimanded for respectfully telling this new guy i know what i’m doing and he doesn’t. Plus this new assistant coach thinks he runs the program when he in fact doesn’t. He also made me stroke the novice boat as a punishment for erging with members of canisus‘s rowing team (local private school) in my free time! This dude is nuts tryna regulate what i do in my free time. Can’t wait to get into dartmouth lights to tell this dude to fuck himself. Any kid he’s taught to row also cannot fucking row, they all sky their blades and refuse to believe they could ever believe they’re the problem. But as soon as my normal coach is with our boat she is shouting corrections at them

Depending how it goes, your life is 1/3-1/2 over. You got a shit ton of time to do whatever. Think of it as a glass half full where you got a ton of experience in that sector. Now leverage that ski experience into something lucrative. Alternatively, could you not move into operations? Supervisor>manager>etc... Once you hit a certain point, many companies will pay for additional education too. If you read the bios of many successful people, they don't all grow up trust fund kids. It's a grind. It's also never too late to get into something new.

Fwiw, stable careers are boring and still can leave you wanting more. You gotta find happiness in what you do wherever that is on the income ladder.

I'm so tired of people making excuses for not being able to go skiing. Wah I'm in college, wah work won't let me, wah I can't get hurt, wah I don't have any money (bulllllshit), wah I don't have my gear, wah it's too far, wah I'm getting married, wah I have kids, wah I'm having a kid, wah wah wah fuck outta here.

It sucks balls skiing solo and traveling solo 95% of the time. I've been in every single one of those situations and made time rather than excuses. How bout people start just being transparent and coming to terms that they don't actually like to ski enough to inconvenience another part of their life. It's always gonna be "well hopefully next year" until you're dead.
