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.

ReturnToMonkeyI want a gf so bad but by god i never want to get married


I want solitude. Right now I feel like pros of being single outweights pros of having someone. It's just hard to see myself sharing my whole life with someone.

Utilities bill this month is totally-cooked and Im scared to tell my landlord I know the source of the leak in my bathroom toilet cuz I did that at my one house in Salt Lake and they ended up charging me for repairs. She's aware of it.

So I was bitching about dude plowing the flow park I started and pulling a bunch of jibs on my day off.

Replaced it with nothing and we had party in the park today. Well last night I yolod and finished resetting jibs and rebuilt the flow park.

Would have been way sicker if I could have added to it the last few days. Was gonna build a half bowl on each side below the volcano with a boob in the middle.

Rebuilt the previous setup and just added a small spine hip below. Mostly hit the pipe but took a lap through lower forest and it was super fun.

Dude that dozed the stuff is prolly gonna give me a bunch of shit but whatever. People were having fun riding it and park crew were super hyped.

Hoping I dont end up in some bullshit beef with this guy but whatever. I groomed this trail 7 days in a row, and prolly grooming it 6 days this week. That guy never grooms this trail. I think he drove buy and saw it and decide he didnt like it cause it takes 2 extra seconds to maintain and dozed it. Kinda a bullshit move imo.

But yeah shit was mad fun today. Party in the park went off

The Boston vs Florida game was a complete joke, and the NHL wonders why people hate the refs. One of the most horrible games I’ve seen in a while. All of the refs and linesmen should not be allowed within 100m of any ice rink. Holy. Fuck!

WoFlowznever doing blow again.


Lol you probably were sold Laxative with baby Aspirin and amphetamines. If you're doing good gear it's enjoyable but only after you wash it with acetone first.

You're way too young to be getting involved in that shit anyway. 80% of the gear here in America is trash that's stomped on by the cartel. Gear in south america is a religious experience.

In the end it's not worth it anyways.

uhhg idk what to degree to do. currently starting environmental science in the fall but sorta having slight second thoughts. also have thought about chiro/kinesiology.

also seems like whatever bachelors you get needs more crap after it to actually get any jobs

Try out environmental science for at least a semester, you can swap easily in the earlier years while you're still mostly knocking out Gen eds

I had go to a boring ass lecture about Douglas tragedy. The lecturer was yapping in scottish accent so I didn't understand anything.

I also hate the warm weather today like I did few days ago. I feel naked without my beanie.

Not a bad idea to knock out gems and beget your basic science classes done, meeting with an academic advisor is a good move too. This is good advice you gave.

i mean if its an entry level job then i guess but typically quitting on the spot fucks the company so aside from burning a bridge with that company your also torching any references and hurting your coworkers. definitely not a career move lol. i typically come into a notice with a transition plan and prospects for my replacement. 2 weeks is pretty standard and i typically approach it willing to do more but really guaging how my leadership reacts.

but like if you were just baggin some groceries or something then yeah that would be comically excessive lol

I was doing commercial construction for a company that would threaten to replace us with Mexicans whenever we would stand up for ourselves. Fuck non-union construction companies. They’re all the same.

That and nepotism. So many construction companies in this country that just hand the reigns over to their kids eventually so they can hand the reigns over to their kids and hire cheap labor while raking in millions.

This stupid collision shop has had my car for almost two weeks and just started called me to tell me they finally did tear down and now the price is rising and they have to see if insurance will cover additional parts/labor. 5 day estimate turned into what looks to be a month and a half so i may just buy a car at this point because renting one would cost just as much

My major is forestry. Currently, there are like 3 job openings for every 1 undergrad in my class. Even if you only had an associates you would be hired right away after school. Entry level tech positions spend almost all their time outside in the field.

Your insurance should pay for rental. Most of the time it's out of pocket, then you get reimbursed
