Titus69Lmao kiernan fagan just followed me on insta

Not for long

DIRTYBUBBLENot for long

I feel like he’s followed me before lol . Better than proteus clothing following me tho

I get random follows for the same reason as well. Idk though. I accept pretty much everyone on facebook I think I actually know. On insta, I just want to see some snowboard/ski shit and a few good friends.

Facebook keeps going to shit anyway. I can barely scroll down a few posts on their anymore. I want my insta to stay nice and peaceful. I'll see most of the shit people post on insta when it shows up on facebook anyway.

Titus69“Devenfagan liked your post”

”random Italian skier liked your post”

Titus69Lmao kiernan fagan just followed me on insta

These kids are fucking annoying dude

DIRTYBUBBLE"Pro" skiers fishing for followers on Instagram is so cringey and obvious. It's honestly almost insulting.

That or the constant whoring of their brands they ride for. I get y'all gotta eat but are fucking annoying with it and don't really follow many pros on the social.medka.

"Stoked to be on vacation and I'm so glad I didn't forget my brand new GoPro camera and I'm so happy that I have Monster Energy Drinks to give me energy!"

Skiings kinda turning into this weak-ass "look at me" brand whore crowd and it's gross tbh

yep, sponsorship is a fucking joke unless you're killing x games or something. My local shop used to want me to be on their "rider team", and I just told them that I don't want to whore their shit out for something absurd like 20-30% off their already overpriced bs. They don't like me anymore.

Lol I can think of one kid on insta who will post that cause he has both those sponsors, not pro but is sponsored and is annoyingly active on SM. Also when they insta story “check out my new post!” And it’s a pic of the post just scribbled out, fuck that. The one sorta legit “sponsor” I had that was only 50% from small company called Allic ski co, they died out but they seem to be coming out with new stuff this year. They told me to advertise the brand so I just tagged them in a few insta posts, also was told the team was already stacked, it has like one or two known euro skiers lol.

Holy fuck....the university may have thrown out 50 grand of ski gear that the club had without a fucking word to us. I'm fucking speechless.

how and why?

Rparrhow and why?

trying to figure out right now. fucking insane.

we have a storage container on campus full of ski gear, lumber and stuff for putting on a ski swap yada. Went into it yesterday to put some gear that was donated to the club into it, and it was all gone....replaced with fucking bobble heads of our shithole football coach that got fired and some random ass LB. Only thing left was some of the trophies and a cart.

I have to say, though sad of course, that sounds fucking hilarious.

its so ridiculous it is kinda funny. fucking bobble heads man. If I wasnt personally involved I would be laughing my ass off.

holy fucking shit, I have no words for that. 50k in gear, that must have been an assload of stuff. I'd imagine they just moved it somewhere else without telling you guys, but who knows

I love this school and the opportunity it’s given me to go ski 100 day seasons, but ever since I’ve got involved with profa and the rest of the freeride team it’s been a constant struggle with ASUN (org that runs clubs) and this schools lack of acknowledgement to our club/team. It’s actually pretty sad to think that we have the opportunity to be one of the best schools for skiing on the west coast and UNR almost entirely ignores us and continues to pull moves like this on us.

Facebook is really pushing the "people you may know" . Fucking aggressively.

I don't add people I don't fucking know. I have plenty of friend requests that I haven't added because I don't really know these people.

Also this one "Girl" fake profile. It's been at the top of that. It's the only one in my right margin, it actually gave me a notification just not about "her" request"

I guess I'll have to go through and sweep them all out. I hate all the fake profiles though. Actually added one a few years ago because I had like 8 mutual friends. Turns out my friends are just desperate fucks and will add anyone with a profile picture in a bikini.

Stop using Facebook. That's what I did five years ago, feels good man.

Mike-OStop using Facebook. That's what I did five years ago, feels good man.

Yeah, not really an option for me. I travel a shit ton. It's my only way to get in contact with people. I'm actually using it today trying to secure housing in Tahoe.

Peoples phones, addresses, etc are always changing. Finding places to crash, people to carpool with, tickets to shows, I really can't get around it.

That said I won't sit on it all day though. Fuck facebook.

Hey if you need NS to come in and clean house with the person responsible we will.

There was an instance where a guy was harassing another NSer at a shipyard so we dropped a yacht on him.

Here's something that really grinds my gears -



So I work at Disney. Yes. I'm an Imagineer. I do software engineering and I'm a senior working on the backend architecture for their new Netflix-rival platform. As someone in her 20's, I'm constantly rubbing shoulders with people who are 20-30 years my senior who are set in the old ways of working where you pick a thing, and you do the thing until you die. Unfortunately, tech moves really fast, and it's less of a 'get your degree and put in your hours until you hit CTO' thing, and more of an extended marathon of constant learning and progression until you hit the ceiling of your craft.

This is hard for older folks. The world is changing, and you'd think they'd have noticed that, but apparently, the first instinct within many of these people is to reject change. It's mindblowing. We have people on the team perpetuating tech that was deprecated years ago simply because it is comfortable; it's what they know. And management does nothing, because they are of the same mindset.

"Put in the same hours as your contemporaries, and then you'll have a say."

It's a mindset that is halting the progression, stability, and credibility of a platform that generally will not survive unless it progresses. In the end, if changes are not made, and a legacy codebase is established and the technical debt accrues, it will cost billions in the end to migrate the platform to something more modern in the near future! We're talking 5-6 year shelf lives whose lives should have been incrementally and routinely renewed with a constant progression of featuresets, technology, and talent, but it's not so.

It truly blows my mind. /rant

You aren't profitable. All you guys are to UNR is a paycheck. That's how it is most public schools and even private ones.

fuck being all congested and sick, i wanna work but all i did every 2 minutes was blow my nose today.

.lenconYou aren't profitable. All you guys are to UNR is a paycheck. That's how it is most public schools and even private ones.

yup.

the sad thing is skiing was cut from the school because of an even spendier sports program lol. Womens Basketball went 30 grand over budget and then asked for 30 grand more after that....poof. skiings gone even though we were one of the top teams in the nation. The basketball team pulled in a whopping two wins that year.

Profahoben_212yup.

But you can't sell tickets, beer, food, parking, etc on the slopes. You can at the lawlor or whatever it's called tho:)

No we lose a truckload of money from women's basketball. They essentially lost the university 60 grand that year. But yay sports

Yeah.. does anyone go to women's games? I went to a few of the men's last year.

FUCK. They got rid of it. This shit is insane. they wont point out who did it either. Im literally so fucking pissed. Who the fuck does that? They didnt even attempt to fucking contact us? I cant even make this shit up.

the amount of fucking stupidity at this university is fucking insane.

Was that like at the doctors office or in class?

Found out another friend just died. Only 27. I guess shit happens or whatever but it sucks when your friends don't even make it out of their 20s.

Great fucking guy. I was stoked to run into him 2 weeks back in NYC.

He was a blast, went to a bunch of shows, had some very strong friendships, and fucking lived.

RIP Vinnie. Glad I got to rage one last hurrah with ya! Until next time my dude!

I hate to ask, but was it opiates? All of my friends who have died in their 20's have OD'ed. It's getting really fucked up, I hate it. It's not safe anymore, it's all cut with fucking fentanyl.

I'm not sure honestly but there's a good chance. I hadn't seen him too much the last 2 years but I know he had his problems in the past. I only just saw him at a show. We were partying a bit but nothing too wild.

But yeah. Opiates seem to be taking a bunch out. That and suicide. Just had a snowboard friend from work OD 2 months ago. Was clean, then destroyed his knee on a PIECE OF SHIT EXCUSE FOR A JUMP and got rehooked and boom donezo.

As far as Vin, idk though. I don't really want to speculate. I also don't really want to ask. I just hate to be that guy. I'm sure I'll find out anyway. Idk it sucks though.

Good dude. Too soon.

yeah definitely don't ask, that's always super rude haha. Either way, 27 is way too early. I am absolutely mortified of death and it kills me to see my friends go so soon. R.I.P

Undertale is a good game with an amazing soundtrack, but it's hard to believe that Sony would actually try to ask money for something that came for free with the PC version.

Still, Bonetrustle 4 lyfe

my car has a plastic rear window, and a soft top.

I broke the plastic window last winter being a drunk idiot thinking hard plastic folds easily in the cold. Today, being a drunk idiot I locked my keys in my car. On the plus side, if I ever lock my keys in my car I can take a snow scraper, unlock my passenger door and open it.

fuck my car looks like shit though

Probably(definitely) not worth reading. Just don't think about my sister that often and then bitching about that made me bitch about everything else lol.

At my parents house. My mom told me my sister and her family were coming up. She wasn't really giving me shit, but had mentioned I should go see her more or whatever recently. I was getting together with a bunch of people from high school yesterday since a lot of us couldn't make out 10 year reunion this summer(actually wasn't that bad)

I was told about this over a month ago. Anyway. I sitat my parents waiting for my sister. She was supposed to be up around 12:30-1. 2 passed, then 2:30, 3, 4. Finally I went and grabbed some food and came back.

They showed up at 5. I was bummed because I waited and was going to have to bounce in 10 minutes max. Then they actually left before me. I think they were at my moms for a total of 3 or 4 minutes.

Sure they went to the bullshit christian resort my dad works at for dinner, and my parents were there. But I had to leave town, and I think I'm kind of banned from that place anyway.

Idk. I'm pretty good about meeting up with people or at least making an effort, but with her it just isn't worth it.

We were tight at one point. When she went to HS before me she was a bitch to me, fine, shes older I get it. We went to school an hour away so had to make friends. I was on my own when I got down there. But whatever, I made my friends, did my thing it was all good. Then after high school I think wanted us to be tight again but we weren't probably won't be.

Also my family is filled with crazy judgmental religious fucks. I don't like judgey people in general. If you really clash with somebody that hard, than go do your own thing.

Instead of getting weird texts bitching at me because I drank the alcohols and smoked the weeds. I told her to fuck off and we haven't really talked much since then. That was mostly 08-2010.

She's got 3, going on 4 kids now. I feel a little bit bad(like the tiniest bit) because I don't have any other siblings, so they have no aunts and I'm the only uncle. That said, if she wants me to see them, maybe she could try being less of a bitch. It's also that weird, being a douche in a nice way. Like she won't scream at me and start a scene but she's not very chill at all.

Also she outted me to my parents in 2010. That was pretty fucking cool. When my mom started into it with me about that "Your sister said.." I was pretty much like fuck this noise I'm out.

I talk to my parents once in a while, see them in the spring and fall, but mostly just because I want a place to crash visiting friends in the area, and store a few things when I travel.

Hoping to get rid of more shit, find a spot for other shit. Then have some real conversations with them that will probably end with us cutting ties for a long time. I think my mom misses me now. She'll throw in the old "i love you" or better "we love you" including my dad if I call. I think shes waiting for me to say it back. Good luck with that one.

Idk, at least she's nicer than my dad and sister but she's still intolerant as fuck. My parents, who don't have any money, were sending a bunch of money to stop gay marriage and anything/everything else.

They never supported anything I wanted to do. I think my being gone has made me become a bit more of a novelty maybe. Also the fact that I've been traveling a ton now I guess I'm considered "interesting" enough to care about for conversation topics at church or whatever. Here are some pictures of of son that we all the sudden decided to care about. Yippie.

There is some good done by religion, but the bad, and the downright fucking crazy, massively outweighs that good.

Sorry guys, I'm not joining your bullshit superstition. Thanks for being dicks, here's a postcard.

Every god damn day I think about the fact that if I would have bought 100$ of bitcoin 7 years ago and held onto it, it would be worth over 100 million $ today. This rustles my jimmies so hard

People are fucking retards. Some chick tweeted "post your favorite pics of Idaho", so like the trickster I am, I post a picture of the Matterhorn and rice terraces. A lot of people like my picture, so I'm assuming they understand the joke. But this morning some squid asks me where there are rice terraces in Idaho. After going back and forth for a minute.. he still doesn't bring up that the Matterhorn is in fucking Switzerland. So he doesn't know... or doesn't know what the Matterhorn looks like. I thought that was an iconic mountain tho. Whatever people are dumb.

also, my wifi sucks ass. Must steam in 1080p... but it's so slowwwww.

The goddamn splice guy burnt my finger with the oxy-acetylene torch and it's such a nasty mess right now. This thing is gonna take forever to heal
