Rant About Whatever

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.

partyandBSits my second season mountain biking and holy fuck have i loved it. slow start as i fell on a group ride in front of everyone and then less than a week later i fell again from a windy jump. but lately ive been absolutely rippin (for me). so im kinda bummed its closing weekend. especially since october is looking hot and dry. good for avalanches though. hoping for a dry as fuck october and then straight into a banger november with no more than 5 days without snow so facets never get a chance to build. ill hold my breath lmao


ngl dude you kicked my ass that one day we rode on a DH bike with me walking my ass up sections haha. You rip!




Annual board meeting at work, changing of board leadership, and a final decision to see if this management company takes over this golf course which means we might get replaced lol. Gotta love real estate developments.

iH8powI remember my parents talking about “hot dog hockey” where programs select who has promise at a very young age and just push them through.


Malcolm Gladwell looked into this in his book, Outliers. The biggest correlation to skill in hockey is birthdate. Kids born right after the cutoff for youth teams (usually in January) start out older and bigger than their teammates. The 6 year old is more useful and coachable than his 5 year old teammates, so he gets the most coaching and the gap widens. It continues each season up to the NHL where players are way more likely to be born in Jan-March than Oct-Dec

ModMommyMy horse of a puppy pissed in my truck that i just paid off and i cannot get the smell out. I bought an ozone machine that arrived a later this week hope to god that helps.


You can buy a can of ozium for like $5. It’s what most rental car companies use- kills bad smells and makes it smell like oranges or new car.

that shit got me through high school, MN winters are cold af so we’d smoke a backwood with the car windows up and then hit it with a few sprays of Ozium and be good. Should work for dog piss no problem.

I almost brought up that book too when I saw the hockey stuff ha

I love Malcolm Gladwell. His podcast revisionist history is great too.

This heat makes me want to leave Denver. I am seriously so over it. This is fucking ridiculous. If I wanted this, I would move back to the SOUTH. Heat makes me so fucking irritated and cranky. I HATE HATE HATE IT. It sucks the energy from you, makes you tired, makes you cranky. This might be my first real rant where IM FUCKING PISSED OFF WRITING IT!!! I truly hate this fucking heat. Skateparks are unbearable especially if you had a few beers the night before. It’s like a sauna.

Idk if y’all experience this too but I’m so fucking pissed rn about streaming services. EVERY FUCKING NFL GAME IS ON A DIFFERENT APP. can I please just watch all the games on cable without having to buy paramount plus or fubo fucking premium to watch a game where both sides are scoring points? Istg the only games I ever have access to are the blowouts that drag on for 3 hours. And if you want to have access to every game in the same place without having to switch apps during ads you need to pay google 500 FUCKING DOLLARS for Sunday ticket.

PM me if you have good source. I'm up north and the only game I can get are Seahawks, which is fine they're entertaining, but there are two other teams I'd much rather watch or listen to radio broadcasts.

Was gonna fly out to Idaho and shred with the homies over spring break, but it turns out my program doesn't actually have any breaks, aside from Christmas. I really don't like Christmas skiing, but it looks like its gonna be my only opportunity this year.

I've seen videos of people being given tickets because they were driving under the speed limit and some lunatic cop thought it was suspicious. Like 55 in a 60. Those are the kind of people I would prefer not to have guns. Who knows how they would handle a situation like mis-identifying a suspect (grabbing the wrong guy.) probably shoot first ask questions later.

that's crazy, I'm not a fan of 55 in a 60 but in no way should you be pulled over for that lol? I low-key despise cops. speed limits shouldn't be a thing. but I didn't get pulled over, my dad was just really mad at me (for fear of me getting a ticket) and said I couldn't drive.

Popped an Intercostal a couple years ago and I mess it up every couple months. This week it got wrecked on a 12 mile paddle and now I have to wear multiple bras at all times until it calms down. Do you know how embarrassing it is to tell people I can't go do stuff because my boob muscle hurts?

Yeah, i do get that lol
I broke a couple ribs this spring and my intercostals still act up occasionally. Last week i dropped my phone next to my seat in the car, leaned sideways to pick it up, and my intercostal cramped up. I awkwardly had to sit there buckled over for a minute before i could get out of the car while my girlfriend waited for me.

Threads are not active if they have not been replied to in 90 days. Inactive threads will not bump until they are activated, which takes three replies. So in order to bump an old thread you gotta get 3 new replies within 90 days of each other
