taylornickyOh boy, why is it that every guy my friends or I date is a liar or a cheater? Why? Like it's not very hard to just be honest and not cheat.

larilinesignI just feel like I dont actually see people with super light blond eyebrows that often in real life, but I see them a bunch in kissy kissy love you wife IG posts from the athletes I follow. It feels like every day I'm like damn, her eyebrows are even lighter blonde than the last one. Obviously nothing wrong with having light blonde eyebrows - hell I love those lovey posts and are happy for them. It's just a pattern I cant unsee.
dkirsetoday has been really fucking hard!! I feel lost and broken and out of place and stupid. also couch surfing is hard. I'm over it. I wish I could see the next chapter of my life and know that everything is going to be okay and that I'm going to be happy again.

dkirsedang, sorry for posting all that junk like a loser. but yes, yesterday was hard and I'm paying for it today...my eyelids are so swollen from crying ugh. and I have a party to go to tonight. any tips to get the swelling down? currently sitting with a frozen ice pop over my eyes. might use some teabags in a bit, too.
anyway, thank you for the advice AbiH and Mingg! you guys rule.
connecticuntgiving my bf his presents today then telling him I just bought a one way back home for the day our lease is up. merry christmas.
safarisamIs all of lady Gabber breaking up? Best of luck dude.
AbiHHahaha there’s hope for my invisible eyebrows!!!!
CyaniceninePretty upset that Woodward isn't delivering on its promise of progression for everyone. There are 40ft jumps and then there are 3 foot jumps... Not sure what I'm supposed to learn here. The tiny jumps are too tiny to do anything on, and the 40ft jumps are way outside my comfort zone to spin. Not sure why it's so hard to put some nice 15-20ft jumps up like they have at park city. The jibs are even worse

MinggYeah this is 100% my issue.
If there is a park out there with ride on/small hop on features that are longer than 10 feet lmk. For real it’s either an itty bitty ride on feature or giant gap long/linked feature. Neither of which, I enjoy.
CyanicenineI fell on rail yesterday and put a hole in my brand new goretex pants, at least I didn't break my phone. I also edged over a large rock on my new skis second day out, edge looks a bit haggard now. This is why I only buy stuff on sale, ski gear just gets wrecked so fast.
I've also been thinking about how weird it is that to the normal people in my life I'm this extreme sport adrenaline junkie doing crazy stunts, yet to newschoolers I'm just some pansy jerry in the park that can barely throw a 3 on a medium jump. Such a strange identity crisis to have.

MinggNot thread worthy but if you typically set your dins at 6.5(and if you really wanna crank them say an 8-9). Why would you ever need more than an 11-13 binding? I know durability can be an issue but the release point should be the same for an 11 binding set at 8 and an 18 binding set at 8. As long as you’re not maxing them out I don’t see why people spend boocoos of money on stuff they don’t need.
Tbh I’m just gonna buy an attack 11 because even if I crank my dins(for my standards) I’m not maxing it out and save money lol
CyanicenineI always ride an 8-9 din (mostly because my feet are tiny), and for whatever reason I have found a difference in retention between bindings that only go to 11 versus bindings that go to 13 or 14. Even with well reputed bindings. For example I had some look pivot 11's and some look pivot 14's and I had to stop riding the 11's because I kept pre-releasing even at the same din setting on both, but I had no issues with the 14's. I have tyrolia attack 13's that work just fine set to 8.5, but I've never tried the 11's, and I've never had any issues with marker griffon 13's. I also had issues with STH 13's but not STH 16's. So yeah in theory it shouldn't matter, but in practice it does seem to matter. Not to the point where I need to get 18 din binding, but enough that I avoid bindings that only go to 11.
There are a lot of factors to consider here though, if you have a small foot the bindings will have trouble keeping a hold of it. If you ride a stiffer tight fitting boot you'll be able to more easily leverage extra force into the binding. Longer heavier skis will also need a bit more retention in my experience. And then of course your own weight and strength. It could be you'll be fine with an 11 din binding, especially since you normally ride a 6.5, but there definitely is a difference in retention versus higher din bindings.
connecticuntI feel like could puke. I can’t get into the IRS database to find my old tax returns for FAFSA and there’s almost no way to validate my financial existence because I don’t have loans/credit cards. I have literally no idea what to do and I’m screwed.

Cyaniceninecompletely detach the tip of his index finger on his FKS bindings.
nmwninjartGross! What was he doing with his finger in his bindings?
CyanicenineLooked like he had taken a tumble and ejected from both skis, but he only had the one ski with him at the bottom. I think when he tried to put his heelpiece back down he somehow got his finger in there. Definitely not a good day for him, he was pretty freaked out yelling that he had a serious injury, I thought maybe he'd broken his shoulder or something since he was standing up just fine.
