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.

Yeah if I could just learn to communicate better and just shut the fuck up for once, I probably would implode relationships like I always do.

Education, like medicine, is one of those professions that attracts ~95% people in it for the love of the work and helping their communities and a small percentage that are just in it to be a petty tyrant.

I wish people had more knowledge. No one knows anything. Even pop culture, which is the most brainrotted form of 'knowledge'. Instagram reels has ruined everyone. Entertainment used to be informative now it's just cancer. I love my girlfriend but I can't talk about history or anything substantial of that nature with her.

And people can still be 'smart' but with AI I see that disappearing in a few years too...



I need to start reading again. I'm on my computer too much. I used to a lot.

Get rid of Instagram and facebook immediately.

Remember what the great Socrates said: Any man who thinks they know something actually knows nothing.

I allow myself one series episode or game a day but I always go to sleep either listening to book on tape or reading the physical paperback.

Social media is AIDS and books are knowledge and knowledge is power.
Highly recommend the Audible app for super long books like what I'm listening to know - the Frontiersman... it's 30 hours long lol. Historical reads about our ancestors makes me realize how good we have it now.

Computers are fine.....i'm in excel all day creating spreadsheets and calculating numbers so the brain is always exercising.

IMO The real cancer is the phone in your pocket that 95% of people use for purely pleasure.

Yes i can go on vacation and enjoy it just as much without telling people on the internet or trying to make my ex jealous.

Was chatting with my 46 year old cousin who lives in Vail (in mommy and daddy's house). I told him my parents never gave me a dime aside from paying for my senior of college. He told me his parents have given him everything so he felt like his life didn't really have a purpose. He has worked random oddjobs like ski patrol & seasonal jobs here and there. He has a pretty nice life but hasn't had a legit job because he has never needed to support himself with free housing and minimal expenses. I guess life really is what you make of it. He's skiing 50+ days a year and still seemed unhappy because he still feels he hasn[t earned anything. life is a crazy thing.

Social media is all about "look where I am" "look what i'm doing" "look how much money i've spent" shit is legit cancerous imo. This forums is my only access to the outside world besides being in the office and i prefer a routine and solitude tbh. Maybe i'm just a geezer.

Shit dude that sucks. Breakups are ass, especially when it’s with someone that you actually saw a future with. The only way out is through, put your head down and keep pushing. Let yourself mourn the end of the relationship for a little while, then move on. Find a cool short term goal that you can work towards, something that you can put time and energy into to refocus your mind.

Yeah it stings a lot. I know long distance is never easy but really did enjoy being around her whenever we did get time to make plans, but she felt it's been hard on both of us which I get. This one's gonna take a minute to get over.

People who are really really good at skiing can be literally the worst person ever but generally people look past it and glaze them in person and online it and dumbfounds me. Like no one seems to give a shit these pro/semi pros are predators, racists, and or just outright narcissistic douche bags if they can dub I swear.

The uber commercials pretending to care about people and def not their bottom line pouring tons of money for people to fight against insurance regulations in CA. Idk what the whole deal is but clearly it's hurting Ubers bottom line. At least if you're going to run a political campaign, at least run more than one commercial fuck.

Also went to Reno for first time in a while. Roommate and friend were SO hyped to get raisin canes. Ive had it several times it fine. Its not bad. It's not great. I get how it works. People love chicken tendersand french fries, so a fast food place doing that makes sense. But I think the hype they've created really overshadows the food. It's not that cheap and it's not that good. Bland. Nothing stands out about it. Again fine, but you can get decent chicken tenders and fries in literally any town in America. It's the least niche. Least needed restaurant other than papa murphys selling uncooked pizza.

Maybe I just dont get it. Again it's fine but ive been to a ton of random places as good, better or close to as good just where I was at.

The only thing it really has running is advertising,simplicityin the menue, and everyone loves tendies and fries. As far as the foodm meh whatever.

Fuck Zaxbys does kinda the same thing in the southeast and is probably better even though I've only been there a couple times and they advertise less.

Idk, I hate overhyped food places. If you like them and it has nostalgia or whatever send it. But people propping up mid fast food cooking the most basic ass shit is kinda beat. Hell popeyes is way better and the same price. Canes is all hype imo

I very much think this Chicken Tender & Sauce bubble is going to pop in the next year or so. Feel like its been blowing up with the Daves, Caines, Zaxbys and others I can't even think of in the last year or so.

I thought Canes was blown up like 7 years ago. But yeah maybe thats why they were so hyped. I don't see enough adds, pay attention these days. But never thought much of them. Been to Zaxbys twice with friends in the southeast. It's all fine. Honestly would rather go to a popeyes which are everywhere, probably way faster and imo better or at least the same. I'd def go for better chicken and better fries.

Idk even kfc and popeyes are built around other shit. Various options for chicken, options for sides. Being like "we sell overpriced chicked strips and fries" isn't as groundbreaking as people want it to be.

I could go to a concert and pay slightly more for the same thing anywhere. I could probably get better quality or at least the sqme at almost any restaurant thats currently in business. The fact that its fast food, not that cheap and pretty mid is a meh in my book. Would rather go to KFC even and those are everywhere and no line.

Idk, i hate hyped place. Like bro, you serve chicken tendies and fries, you aren't special.

was it on word?? you can typically see who created the file in the settings and it should be linked to your account or you can show that your version history pre-dates theirs. however that doesn’t explain why they had your work in the first place. showing someone and sending someone the answers are 2 different things for sure lol

Yeah this breakup stuff sucks but we still keep talking daily for some reason and it's kind of fucking with my head. I'm down to be friends but I don't like these feelings. Like we talked about communication on the phone last night for over an hour and I'm still confused. Like I probably shouldve made more effort in trying to go see them despite the long drive but idk man

Sure sounds like both of yall have feelings. You should bring up that continuing to talk is hard, and that you want to either continue the relationship, or cut off contact because being broken up but staying in contact is fucking with your head. There’s nothing wrong with this, you both deserve some time to let the romantic feelings dissipate. If there’s desire for an actual friendship, check in occasionally, so yall can resume contact when ready. DO NOT hold out for a resumption of the relationship. There’s plenty of cool people out there, you’re gonna find someone new who shares your values.

Some tickets are expensive yes but the really fucked part is charging a $40 fee per ticket for hosting an e-commerce website where they don't even have to fulfill anything. They used to print and mail actual tickets.

just remembered to talk to my boss and actually get marked out on the work calendar for this. Thanks for helping to remind me. Last Cinco de Mono I was mobbing skiers right of Chets dream all afternoon until they kicked me out after 4:00. Total hero slush bumps. Usually when I go to Loveland that stuff seems closed off but they were letting us send it all the way to the lot and we were ending up behind the maintenance building down there. Super fun

It's basically just extra income. What's annoying is you can't deduct losses against income.

Basically reporting gambling losses is worthless IMO.
