Post by: sk8nappreciate on June 23, 2011, 04:46:55 PM
Couldn't find  a topic like this.

Basically just post anything you thought deeply about or questions/discussions you had today.

What is worse?  To say the "N word" to an african american?  Or.  To harass a mentally handicap person?

Post by: Greg Ostertag on June 24, 2011, 01:11:38 AM
The hot ugly chick is going for the gold. She will be fun in bed. She's got something to strive for...

The ugly hot chick is insecure about her current ugly/hot ratio. She will be more worried about how she looks during the act. Maybe you're hitting from back and her unwaxed anus rears its ugly head. You'd better not put your thumb near that badboy, lest you want funtime to cease... Hell, maybe its a big mole or a set of cankles... You don't care, no, but her... She cares. She probably also has daddy issues.

i used to rock that in bathroom stalls a lot
"aids patient genocide" dripping krink.


I dropped my girlfriend off at LAX today, she's going to frisco to shoot some shit for hubba.
I pondered
1) she's going to get raped
2) she's going to get fucked (non rape)
3) she's going to get mugged
4) opium den? never to return



5) hope non of the above happens, and she has a good time.

The french revolution was fought because the middle and lower class made up a vast majority of the population, but got one third of the vote in the legislative body, and we celebrate this in school as the start of the democracy as we know it, but really, do the middle and lower class even get 1/3rd of the representation in Congress? I'd say we are less of an egalitarian democracy in the U.S. now than when the estate system existed in France.

they developed their dialects in a time before audio/visual media. you can read the same newspaper, but you pronounce the words several different ways. skip forward to modern times. you watch the news on tv, hear a guy speaking newscaster american english, then you pronounce the words like he does. you figure that's the correct speech, so you imitate it. all the while, everyone across north america are watching this guy, growing up, speaking like him.

Sometimes eye accidentally right homophones, when I no the correct spelling. its a thing I deux.
I tried to come up with some sort of geography pun that works for a grocery store, but I don't know if there are any.
I read about this guy William Sidis today, supposedly one of the smartest people to ever exist. He graduated Harvard at 16 after they changed their policy about letting in students younger than college age. He got in at 11, after being denied because of his age at 9. Apparently he lost his mind at some point, stopped doing math altogether, even though he was known particularly for his mathematical genius, stopped bathing, stopped socializing, and became obsessed with street cars and street car transfer tickets. His only published book was about streetcar transfers. Psychologists apparently have claimed his IQ was somewhere around 250-300, which sounds absurd to me. He epitomized "too damn smart for his own good.
 Makes me wonder how many burnt out insane people are just crazy geniuses who can't deal with the world as it currently works.

Ended up at a friends place for drinking after work last night . dudes a surfer and showed me this movie called
"the drifter " . talked alot about moving to indo china and just living in some small place , eating healthy , surfing all day and
just living a simpler mind with a simpler way of doing things . Enjoying life


Kinda thought about it but not sure if I could just walk away from my work . I could sell my appartment and quit my job . move to some place in indo china . skate and surf everyday . catch fish and eat fruit and veggies . relax , read and hang out .

but who knows . what would I miss about work and all that shit

Why taboos are inherit secret desires for most, even if they act as if they'd take no part in them based on social constructs.

How language started, as in who or what decided to start giving names to any and everything, even based on simple concepts. Like root word type shit?

Mass existentialism I haven't been able to shake since I was 13. Thinking entirely too much and missing out on my life at times?

Why is guilt the most popular tool in every facet of social interaction?

All the unanswerable type questions daily...

Pondering on occasion makes me feel like I'm going crazy...

So I was in the middle of making one of these, but then I looked up velostat. "Velostat is a packaging material impregnated with carbon black to make it electrically conductive"



What if that makes me easier to find? Will I just be an antenna? But then I saw this

"Velostat and a similar material, LINQSTAT, have impedance, as shown below by the thought screen helmet with a mulitimeter reading in ohms.  Both materials do not hold a static charge when grounded.  They are technically described as a conductive polyethylene film commonly used as a static control material in numerous semiconductor, electronics and Smartcard applications due their easy-grounding nature.  Both materials meet military specification MIL-P-82646A.  They have different conductive properties than metals.
The Fluke multimeter indicates a reading of 52 ohms as shown below demonstrating the impedance of Velostat." 

They've only had two failures since 1998.

Who do I believe?

Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?

Do siamese twins pay for one ticket or two tickets when they go to movies and concerts?

Why do we sing "Rock a bye baby" to lull a baby to sleep when the song is about putting your baby in a tree and letting the wind crash the cradle on the ground?

just guessing:

1) i would assume your left (right in england), at least your "date" or table partner is traditionally the one sitting to your right if youre a guy. (left in england).

2) in norway you get square sandwich meat, but. meat rolls are traditionally made of rolled up and tied meat. its round.

3) two(?)

4) dunno.

1.) I think you can take whatever you want, if the person next to you tries to put their arm up, just try and hold their hand. They'll move their arm.

2.)Bread starts our as a lump of dough, which is hard to shape, unless you put it in a pan, which most normal sandwich bread is. So it takes the shape of the pan. Unless it's more rustic style, then dough is just placed in an oven and grows into a disc type thing. Also, sandwich meat is just big pieces of meat that are cooked/cured and sometimes can be kind of oval shaped like the bread of a turkey.. it's all different.

3.) I think that it depends on how may chair's they'd need. Like if they are connected at the head, they'd need two seats, but if they were sharing one ass, they'd only need one ticket.

4.)Probably because the gentle tune is soothing to the baby. The lyrics don't really matter. It is weird thogh.

You forgot episode 1.

I think it would be good if Lucas got rid of everything being CGI and listen to inputs of others. 1, 2, and 3 had potential to be really good films, but Lucas failed. Well 2 and 3 are tolerable, 1 is just annoying.

I can't see sex with an autistic girl being very good at all. Amputees could be interesting. I thought about this a lot when Paul McCartney was married to one. I bet all sorts of new positions would open up with one leg out of the way. I think double amputee might make things difficult.

I don't know if this makes sense, but...
In America we say 'uh' and 'umm' and that is how we write it out. It seems like British writing uses 'er' and 'erm'
Is this because a Brit saying 'uh' sounds like 'er' and 'um' sounds like 'erm'? If you say 'uh' out loud (and your american) it sounds like a someone from the U.K. saying 'er'
I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me, (or maybe it is something everyone already knows) but I pondered it today.

We'll the "R" sound in Europe is a highly debated subject.  They can't agree on it's pronunciation for the life of them. So my thought is that it the "R" gets tossed around quite a bit because they don't know what to do with that letter.

The French, Spanish, and English "R"s are all different.  I have no idea how other European countries interpret it.  It's not literally debated like I said.  People don't sit at a round table and compare arguments about it's pronunciation, but that one letter has a diverse representation throughout the continent.

Almost every time I trip I'll end up buying my mom some little gift or lawn ornament because my trip will lead me down a path of thinking that makes me feel really bad about how I've treated her. Not that I treat her like shit at all, I just don't treat her like the golden god she is. To this point I've given her a gnome I stole from a lawn, a gnome I bought from the University's bookstore, some crazy metal ladybug, Kroger flowers, and a really balling sassy mom mug for the rebel in every 55 year old woman.

why do most cartoon characters only have 4 fingers?

its cause its hard to draw 5 fingers , usualy alot easier and looks better to just draw 4 . Or so Ive read in many artist interviews
Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today

yeah but if you are a cartoonist and cant draw one extra finger, then you are clearly in the wrong field

This 4-finger rule is to save money in making the cartoon (and yes easier to draw). And who needs a pinky? Unless you're typing or being fancy.

i thought they mostly didnt do it because realistic cartoons often come off as creepy. having 4 fingers subliminally makes them a bit less human like?

my belief on this is that there is no tip for takeout. I definitely tip for delivery, and if I'm eating in the restaurant since I am being served, which to me justifies some extra money in that persons pocket. But, no service, no tip.

Actually, it's spelled "defy." At least in the instance you used it here. Though, "deify" is a word. Means making someone or something into a deity. Oh, there's the e before i thing again.

Maybe their bodies change
Someone asked this questions on some The Walking Dead talk show, think of it was eating rotting meat compared to cooked/fresh meat. Zombie=rotting meat, humans=cooked/fresh meat
Probably because it's a movie/show/novel. I highly doubt we get taken over by zombies so easily unless it was a fast spreading virus.

We would definately win the war easily, we are the top predators and zombies are basically walking targets.

Since monkeys are so much better in jumping around and shit, if someone would give a monkey a pair of shoes, a board and train  it like nyjah hustons father coached him, would it be a better at skating than omar salazar in like 5 years?
Yep.

In Toy Machines Brainwash, why did they put the bs flip over that one yellow pole from a bump in Matt Bennets part when it was hilariously obvious that he missed the pole completely. He also did it in one of their trailers, but a bit more over the pole. I like Matt Bennet Though.

I assume he was just going for the bump in general, because doing it over the pole is pretty hard from that angle with the electrical box nearly blocking you from clear shot on it.

Why are girls so weird ?   Every time you talk alot with them and try to push something . Or trying to make something happend . They retract and act like they dont want it . But when I dont say anything and leave the girl alone , and dont push at all . They get all needy and do all the pushing and chasing

Its kinda like when you want something you cant have it , but when you say fuck it and dont do any chasing , they start doing the chasing and needing .  Doesnt that contridict eachother ?  how the fuck do ppl get together when its like this ?

Most of the recovering alcoholics I know (more than 5 less than 10),  I know most of them drank/drink non alcoholic beer for the taste.  My old roommate drank a 6 pack one night when we were all drinking saying he needed at least the taste to feel comfortable around all the other drunks.  After the 6 pack he said he actually kind of felt a lil buzz...

here, we were taught cursive in primary school. i remember the teachers saying shit like "when you get to highschool and have to do exams, your exam wont even be marked if its not in cursive" i called bullshit on that even as a naive little 9 year old.

its a waste of time. students should learn to write then learn to type instead of cursive. it'll be a hell of a lot more useful that some scribble only you can read. if anything cursive did more damage to my handwriting than help it. i was going all right then learning cursive fucked that up.

My mom works at an elementary school and she told me they start computer typing at first grade and that cursive isnt even in the curriculum.  Another reason why we suck.

Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: Human Onion on January 08, 2012, 01:06:42 PM
^ always before. BTW, this is one of the best  threads on slap -- it's (almost) up there with "awkward sexual experiences". Funny that the best threads on a skateboard message board are not about skateboarding.

Why would anyone shave before? Hot water opens your pores. So shaving is easier/smoother.then use cold water to rinse/close your pores to stop zits/make the bleeding stop faster.

My sink dispenses hot water as well.. But I do it before because after my shower the mirror is too steamy.  Plus it's easier to just shower off the excess shaving cream.

I've actually started shaving with cold water lately and I find that I get a much closer shave without any cuts or irritation afterwards.

You can put a drop of shaving cream on your finger and wipe it across the mirror and it keeps t from steaming up, but I see your point too.


Here is what I have been pondering lately: I heard somebody say that soda is the number 1 cause of obesity. I think that's bullshit. I'm not saying drinking a bunch of soda won't make you a fat fuck, because it will. Still, I say either the car or electricity has got to be the number one cause of obesity. If you had to walk everywhere you wanted to go, do laundry by hand, run to the market every day for food because you didn't have refrigeration and do all of the rest of the work that electricity does for you, not to mention the fact that you couldn't pass time watching TV, playing video games or surfing the internet, there s no way anybody would be obese.

I heard the reasoning behind "soda makes your fat" is because of all the fructose and calories in it - soda manufacturers use high-fructose corn syrup for the sweetener rather than regular sugar, as it's cheaper to due US corn subsidies. The "empty" calories have no benefit to the body (fruit has fructose as well, however it also has many other beneficial nutrients), and the surge in blood sugar level as a result of consumption can leave the body tired and even more hungry, causing you to eat more. 

the other theory is the way that the body digests fructose, and how it differs markedly from glucose digestion. something about fructose going straight to the liver and putting strain for it to be processed, whereas glucose can be metabolised anywhere in the body. I don't believe there's ever been concrete evidence that fructose = obesity, but the theory seems to be widely regarded as truth if you look at any nutrition guide. 

european countries have cars and electricity, but dont have the obesity problem. going backwards and making things harder as in the "good old days" seems to be a strange panacea to revert to.

p.s. australia has cars and electricity and a shitload of soda, apparently we're the fattest nation in the world.  number one, baby!

Is it gay to get turned on when a guy cums a lot in porn?

Reading this i realized something. At the and of a scene when a dude comes i hate it when he jacks himself of.
When a girl gives him a handjob and he cums explosively over her body or face and you see she's liking it I'm turned on. But when she's scared or disgusted i don't like it. Guess im really picky.

The netherlands is the bike country of the world. Everyone has a bike in here and there are more bikes than people.

It's because it's almost flat so you don't have large hills to upwards on.

Denmark is not far behind. A country that's also very flat. Someone told me that danish skaters in general skate slower than norwegian - Norway is full of hills, danes like calling norwegians fjellaber(mountain apes). I like to think there's something to it -- well, I'm Norwegian.

Pondering quitting my job and selling my tiny flat and go travelling for a couple of years. I wanna see America, South America, maybe Africa too. So tired of living in Norway. My life is going nowhere. Six months of winter sucks. It is not a very sensible thing to do. I might  come back all broke and with nothing to show for - that's very likely actually. But maybe I'll have the time of my life, and it it will all be worth it - coming back to nothing. There is so much adventure to be had. Maybe it will inspire me to write a book, a bestseller, no less. Ha! Maybe I'll meet the woman of my dreams. You never know?! I guess I'm a romantic.

I was faced with same decision once and I decided to go for it. Five year later im still out and about in the world at large. Met a girl, she broke my heart. im a permenant resident of another country now. I have seen so many wonderfull things and met so many close friends. everything I own still fits in my backpack and yet I feel at home.

Do it, do it now and never look back.

And sleepypancakes, If you have any uncles or aunts or even close family friends you can go to for advice this can be a really helpfull first step, take some of the pressure off the big coming out andget some much needed insight into how your parents might react. Even if they love and support you fully the initial news could illicit some upsetting behaviour.

I was never that into it and realized that I wasn't bi or anything and just felt right and normal and like myself with other men.

my parents have pretty much fucked me in terms of college... i never had any idea what area i would want a degree in, but theyve been forcing me to go to school and just take basic "core" classes for like the last 2-3 years (2-3 because i dropped some and re did them and am supposed to be finishing the last of the core classes this semester). thinking about it the last few days i really want to be a pharmacist... but after looking on some pharmacy school websites, it pretty much is telling me the classes you need to take before pharmacy school are almost nothing i have taken, and almost everything i have taken was pointless; including the classes i dropped, and now i only have 1 class left that i can drop.

with the financial situation that im in, and the locations where my parents live (divorced), i really dont have great options no matter how you look at it... so im wondering what the fuck im supposed to do now. just let this shit fuck me and say "oh well" and pretty much start over at school, getting into debt not living at home while still paying for classes with little to no educational background, and hope i can become a pharmacist? the "pharmacist plan" takes like 2 years of basic shit at any school, and then 4 years at pharmacy school, and thats if i dont fuck the classes up from failing or some shit... since i can only drop 1 more of them. theres a lot more that makes this a lot more complicated but i have no idea what to do....

Are beans pills? Haha don't use the same slang. How would you know how much md is in a pill? I've only done md 4 times and the third time I did it I bombed a on the gram gram in three wraps that was supposedly pretty pure, I was fucked but I did .75 the next time a month later and was fairly chilling. When i've done smaller doses like .25 i've always ended up mixing with alcohol and cannabis out of stupidity and going a bit mad

I am really wondering if I am making the right career decisions. Politically, I am pretty radical so I need to do something that allows me to sleep at night. At the same time, I want a family one day and I hear kids are expensive! I graduated from school a year ago and am 26 now. I work in a furniture store and intern at a non-profit twice a week. I am looking for work in the non-profit world (pretty tough right now!) and once I get a job am thinking of applying to grad school at Berkeley (where I live and went to undergrad) for their MBA in non-profit management. I need to have about 5 years of work experience to be a solid candidate there so I will be pretty old by the time that happens. At the end of that I am wondering if I will make enough money to support a family? I know if I work in fundraising I can make decent money. On the other hand there are lots of semi-righteous things I can be doing (that involve more money) and grad schools I can get into right now. I could do some sort of socially beneficial law or get a regular MBA and work in green retro-fitting. I don't know... Pondering life decisions.

go teach english in an underdeveloped nation. was just in cambodia and the khmer people are very grateful for any help. it's socially constructive and proactive and would be an adventure. all you need is a BA or BS to teach basic English at a University. Wouldn't necessarily be a forever/career gig, it might open doors though. If nothing else it would be a great experience and afford you time to make decisions.

It is technically grammatically inaccurate to use "of" instead of "have" but it is a very common thing over here.  Most people, when pronoucing have in that phrase, leave out the 'h' sound, resulting in "should 'ave" or "should've."  I'm sure you can see how quickly that can turn into "should of."  I think the majority of people would still write have, but I guess not everyone.

Seriously though, English must be confusing as fuck to learn as a second language.  We don't follow any of our own rules.

i also hate how if youve never seen a word theres a chance its pronounced all wonky because of its origin words. really wish english would have some accents or something to stress the pronounciation, at least with french or german you know which letter or syllable your supposed to emphasize.

i just started an online philosophy course (last liberal yay) and i find this shit so fascinating, constantly pondering epistemology (what the course is on, the study of knowledge) like what is it, how do we know it, and why do we think its this way, etc... pretty trippy when you apply it to regular life and definitely increases your skepticism towards the world. like there was a thing about basing knowledge on false assumptions, and it turning out to be right even though your reasoning was wrong.

his example was the bulb had burned out in the kitchen, he assumed it was blown bulb, but actually the fuse has blown, but once turned back on, he actually did have to put the new bulb in.
this reminds me so much of skating, like in doing a trick, say kickflip, you assume your ability to pop and flick based on previous experiences will lead you to landing this one, but you fuck the pop up, mob the flick or something, and land on it all janky, your knowledge of landing was wrong but you got lucky and was still right in the end.

i dunno, this shit is fun to think about when im all ripped at night and i like how it would be something i would look up on the internet anyways but its part of a course and the marks make me actually try to thoroughly understand it.

Fits in other threads, but it nearly happened to me today and subsequently thought about it a lot.

Sitting at a traffic light waiting to turn left, with individual turning lanes. People going the opposite direction are also waiting to turn left, so you can't see far into oncoming traffic and don't know if you can safely turn. You begin to turn when a group of bikers start riding across the street lacksadaisically, so you have to stop halfway through your turn. The gap to turn was small anyways and now a large truck is barreling towards you as you sit in the oncoming traffic lane, but the bikers are still in your way. Do you wait and get hit, accelerate and hit the bikers(as slowly as you can, or fast if ur a dick), or quickly reverse and crash into the car behind you? -hope that made sense.  I hit the bikers by the way.RIP lil dudes

fucking infinity.

ight so, take the set of integers: -infinity... -2, -1, 0, 1, 2... infinity

right? how many integers are there? an infinite amount, yes good, you're with me.

now, how many real numbers are there between 0 and 1? well there's infinitely many real numbers between 0 and 1. any number you can conceive of between 0 and 1 can be divided by 10 and it's smaller, this goes on infinitely.

so, if there are infinitely many integers, and there are infinitely many real numbers between any two integers that aren't the same number, that means that although there are an infinite amount of integers, and there are an infinite amount of real numbers, but there are obviously more real numbers than integers, though they both go on to infinity in both directions.

basically, some infinities are bigger than others

Infinity is such a good discussion. I've read some stuff on sacred geometry and it's pretty interesting. It tripped me out, how you can start by drawing an

X

Then put a square or rectangle around it and you've got a hallway going forever.

I find this interesting since I had a conversation related to infinity with this friend of mine. Let's say you have an hotel with infinite rooms, occupied by infinite guests; the question is, what do you do if a new guest arrives? (which is infinity +1)

I mean, we gave some answers to the thing, but nothing serious, of course. I'm just curious to see how you guys solve it.

but the earth is moving around the sun

but the sun is also moving around the galaxy

but the galaxy is moving round the center of a cluster of galaxies

but that cluster is moving around an even bigger cluster of clusters

and that entire cluster of clusters is moving around... something? maybe

i haven't slept in like 36 hours so maybe i'm just high on fatigue

DUDES, just had a crazy thought.

let's say you got a fuckin time machine that functions perfectly, it moves you forward or backward in time however far you want. let's say i went a year into the future, wouldn't the time machine stay in place? meaning, when i skipped a year forward, the earth/sun/everything that exists would be in a different position than it is now relative to where it was when i started my time travel.

so a time travel machine HAS to also teleport you in space to a very specific point in the universe if you want to end up on land and not in the vacuum.

It seems that many pro skateboarders become professional/serious amateur photographers(jerry hsu, ed templeton, greg hunt,raymond molinar, ben gore, peabody etc. This makes sense considering the artistic leanings of skateboarding in general along with the free time and travel time that comes with professional skateboarding.

It would be cool to see a professional athlete in another sport become a photographer. They are on much tighter schedules and seem less likely to want to expose their private lives but it would be awesome. Think of someone on kobe bryants level taking artistic nudes of his wife and photographing all of the crazy extravagant party shit and excess he sees. This goes for any celebrity I guess.

It would probably never escalate past the point of instagraming every little boring detail in their lives - professional athletes seem brainless to me - they had to sacrifice every single second of their lives for training, which doesn't really help evolving you mental abilities or artistic inclination in case you have them.

also, other sports make for crappy photography content. who cares about runners in various stages of straining their every muscle on the track?

I know. Skateboarders must be a higher percentage of more interesting/artistic people but I'm sure there are just as cool of people out there in the other sports. The reason their lives seem so boring is because we never get access to the real deal. It also has to do with big money endorsements and team contracts not wanting any sort of "edgy" things out there. I'm sure people are out there snapping digicam shots that are very interesting that we will never see.

Totally different but that reminds me of a story from Malaysia. Drug traffickers get the death penalty there. This woman was caught on camera exchanging a lot of cocaine with someone who was later caught. The person who was caught didn't know the woman's name. Turns out that woman had a twin sister and both of them confessed to the crime. Neither would admit to being the innocent party in court so rather than receiving the death penalty they both got life in prison.

I mean in other worlds wizzards can manipulate elements , turn into animals , conjure shit and so on to fight eachother and not die . Not limited to if they have a wand or not .

Like at the world cup of that game they play , 10 or so death eaters attack about 20 thousand wizzards and witches . And nobody seems to do shit but run away and hide ?

I mean even the shittiest wizzard or witch would know some deffencive spell and so on ?  its like attacking a martial arts convention with 20 k martial artists there , with 10 ppl only using martial arts and getting away with it .

Even the battles betwen witches and wizzards are really fucking lame with pretty much only 1 "shooting " spell .  What about potions as bombs or poisons , transforming into a fucking tiger and mawling the shit out of somebody. Or shooting lightning out of your hands

And since its set in the modern times , why not fucking use guns more this would have solved alot of problems

DUDES, just had a crazy thought.

let's say you got a fuckin time machine that functions perfectly, it moves you forward or backward in time however far you want. let's say i went a year into the future, wouldn't the time machine stay in place? meaning, when i skipped a year forward, the earth/sun/everything that exists would be in a different position than it is now relative to where it was when i started my time travel.

so a time travel machine HAS to also teleport you in space to a very specific point in the universe if you want to end up on land and not in the vacuum.


Good point, if the Delorean doesn't include itself in the travelling how could one get back to one's original time. Truly, how could one travel from moment (now) to moment (n) if ones time machine couldn't move from moment (now) to moment (n)? If we view time (the fourth dimension) as a point, we can view it as a value, or a function that can be resolved as a value. If we examine that function through a value (x) we can interpret it as a place within that function, if we examine the same function through a different value (y) we can interpret the function at a different point. We can then ask, does this function exist at both value x and value y? If we view time (the fourth dimension) as a function that changes when x (the value we choose to interpret it by) changes, we see that the function exists as it is at each value we choose to evaluate it by [x, y, z]. The function exists AS IT IS in all of these states, these states change as we move through the function (the function x squared exists at x=3 as 8, and at x= 5 as 25). We can view time travel in the same way, as a function. Our perception of the universe changes as we move from 2009 to 2012 (in the same way we evaluate x squared for different values of x) but the but the universe as it exists in 2009 does not change when we evaluate it, even if we have traveled from another time (value of x).

I think if a time machine was created, the bend in the fabric of time would also cause a bend in space (since they are interrelated) that is hopefully able to control for any shift in your position.

Also fuck Two and a Half men and Big Bang Theory. I used to like Two and a Half men but I started to feel like I was hearing the same 4-5 jokes over and over. I could never bring myself to watch a full episode of Big Bang Theory though. Big Bang Theory is one of the shows that the jokes are so bad that I start to feel uncomfortable. But no movie or tv shoe can make me more uncomfortable than any Tyler Perry movie or show. Fuck that dude.

I ran exactly that way today M.B. I did this 4-5 mile run today but compared to my last time doing it, I took off 15 minute of my previous time and it felt great. Nice pace but nothing too harsh and if felt easy. I didn't even think of walking. Afterwards I had a banana, flax seed peanut butter shake with skim milk and went skating for 3 hours.

 If you're stranded on an island and you don't know anything about light refraction/spear throwing, maybe you should save dude so you can eat him after you murder him on land. Fish are just fine though, Dave. They've been preserving and eating fish with a heavy salting for millennia on the Asian continent, my dude. I'm talking fish jerky.

Greg,
 This is a great post, as you mentioned fish jerky is a beautiful extraction of heavy salting, it just so happens I know a lot about
preparing the right fish jerky.

1. Make sure you choose the right fish, make sure it's fresh. Dehydrated fish are the best.

2. Try to slice the fish into strips about 3/8" thick. If they are evenly spaced fellas they'll dry evenly.

3. Salt kills microorganisms and prevents the growth of more by drawing water out of the cells of the microbes and the fish.

4. I doubt you guys really care about jerking fish so were gonna skip the rest of the list and move on.

As for Mark, I would like to show him one day the finer arts of preparing a nice jerking (good ol fashioned) but I'm afraid we live in
a different world. Yet to this day, would I save him if he was drowning? I don't know. It's like being handed all of gods power to
bestow on a feeble minded povershed soul.

Oyolar, I really appreciate the post and I'm glad you too like to jerk fish, the Indians have always had a good rendition
on jerked fish, my wife and I usually throw in mushroom soy sauce, vegetable oil, 1 heaping teaspoon Walkers Wood jerk( for extra jerk) , and basic vinegar oils, I then strip the fish and mix into my bowl of mushroom soy ect.. Put those babies on the grill and let em brown, I'll usually pour some red wine over the fish and serve over a serving of asparagus. My wife is a vegan which means I am too so I enjoy this dish every 2 to 3 weeks. If you guys ever need advice in the kitchen shoot me a P.M and we'll take things further. Some people would never think of cooking jerky but I feel it gives the meat a fresh flavor.

Allow me to offer some guidance.  I am from Rockford, so you can take this as fact.
Rockford Peaches, 1943.  Although they didn't actually play in that years championship.  Movie fictionalized it.

D Day was 1944.

So win championship, join armed services.  Become a Captain within 6 months.  Save Private Ryan.

Now I'll simply ask you to explain the Tome Hanks movie "Big" to me.

Why do bombs in movies always have a red , green , blue wire to cut ? and why would it mean anything to a EOD guy ? Why wouldnt a EOD guy or our hero check for where the wires go and which ones have current ?

No it has to be the red wire !

Putting steaks on your eye bruises does NOTHING . could lead to infections too

Why do action heros have unlimmited ammo in their gun ? hand guns have like 9-15 and most others have mags of like 30-45 .
and maybe not just dump your gun when ever its out of bullets  , guns are expensive !  RELOAD !!!

Why does every department of law hate eachother in movies  ? Regular police hates Homecide , everybody hates FBI and ATF and so on.

Why do ppl accept "products"  like Britney Spears  ( or other manufactured pop music ) Somebody tells them how to dress , tells them how to dance , They use autotune on the voice , Somebody writes their lyrics and somebody writes their lyrics

How is that acceptable ?

In my experience, when you ask them where you know them from (because you can't actually figure out why you recognize them in the moment), B-movie actors will give you a semi-dirty look before explaining who they are.

Well, have you tried actually singing? You can't tell just from talking because that has nothing to do with your ability to identify and keep pitch. If you know any musicians, sing for them and ask their opinion.

Cat's and dogs are too genetically dissimilar to mate successfully; you would almost never find a cat and a dog getting it on the wild anyway due to different mating patterns. Hybridization can only occur between animals of the same species or at least of the same order, and even this has only been achieved artificially as far as I know.

I wonder if mass mounts of ear wax - like a pound of it - would be a versitile material. Maybe we could make pottery or sculptures out of it, would it dry and harden? Or what about actually making a candle with it, would it smell?

Would harvesting ear wax from one person to the next produce different pliability which maybe more desired depending on its use and then would a rating system to meassure this be issued when it's being packaged for purchase.

The trippy thing is thinking about that.  If I were to do that and then it played out like it did in the dream, it would be deja vu or just like a prediction that came true.  The only way that would not create some sort of infinite loop is if we made out or if I just didn't ever mention that or think about that again.  Maybe if I explained it out like that it would work.

I wear contacts and see a blurry cluster of shit if I don't have them in. If someone was filming something and put my contact lens in front of the camera lens and then imported the footage, would it look clear to me and blurry to other people? I always take for granted that a movie looks the same to everyone, but if it is filmed with a glass sheet in front of it with a prescription for vision, would that changes things? I'm sure there's an elementary answer to this, but for some reason I've pondered it a lot.

glasses/contacts work by bending rays of light passing through them, and effectively modifying the light's focal length so it falls onto the retina inside your eye.  Think of the retina as a screen in a movie theatre - if the projector isn't focused right, it will look blurry. 

Short-sightedness is caused because the eye's focal length is in front of the retina (i.e. the focusing point ends up short), and is corrected by having light bent outward to correct it through a concave lens (see diagram below):
(http://sjesci.wikispaces.com/file/view/shortsightedness.png/156714787/shortsightedness.png)


Long-sightedness is the opposite - where the focal length falls beyond the retina, and is corrected via a convex lens which bends the light in even further
(http://sjesci.wikispaces.com/file/view/long_sightedness.jpg/156714671/long_sightedness.jpg)


if you filmed with an hypothetical contact lens over a video camera, all you would get is an out of focus image.  Which if you're watching it without any further optical aids, will be even blurrier.

My cousin pointed at a caterpillar and said "how do you think that caterpillar got on top of this mountain?" to which I replied "a better question is how did the mountain get under the caterpillar?" My dad thought it was so funny he laugh for about 20 minutes. His laughed echoed so people on the other side of the mountain started mocking him.  ;D

How can an over-the-counter medicine be called "prescription strength"? Their use of 'strength' suggests that medicines exist on a continuum of potency and once you cross some threshold it is suddenly only available through prescription. If this is how it works then "over-the-counter prescription-strength" is an oxymoron. Something can not be both prescription-strength and over-the-counter at the same time. False advertising!

I would gather that prescription medication goes beyond "potency" and also accounts for more dangerous chemicals being used that have to be monitored by a doctor. Seems self-evident. I could probably google this but why ruin the mystique of it all?

Tend to ponder a variety of subjects:

How it is counterintuitive to spend money on suits and fancy clothing when they are expensive and uncomfortable to wear just because they are a societal standard.  Corporations should adopt casual clothing to facilitate productivity in the work place.

Why skateboarding is so fucking hard, when every other generic sport is so fucking easy.  I've played them all and raped them.  Even surfing and snowbarding are fucking easy compared to skateboarding.  It is fucking absurd.

How and why women think about everything the way they do and how it is rarely logical. 

How people spend so much money on useless shit.  Christmas lights for instance.  That shit is an absolute waste of money.  The only things necessary are shelter, food, water, and hobbies (so you don't go crazy.)  Hobbies should also be productive.  Like when women say their hobby is shopping, I want to punch them in the face.  The materialistic mentality of American culture is absolutely rediculous and I hate it.  I just want money so I can survive and do what I love to do. 

What it would be like if the internet was never invented?

Why is instagram taking up 1.7 gig of space on my phone. There is often no room to even take new photos.  I'm not one of those people clogging the feed.  I post about 2 pics a week, and i don't hit like on all that many photos.  If I delete the app, re-install it and sign in, will it fix the problem?  Will I lose anything?

Considering the number of idiots in the country, how does democracy make sense at all? If only say 25% of the population can be considered "smart" (which seems like an extremely inflated number, but for sake of example), then 75% of the uninformed and uneducated population has majority say. Most people aren't good decision makers, they can barely run their own lives, let alone a country.

this thought has entered my mind on numerous occasions while sittin in my room spinning records

so that would mean that the closer the needle gets to the center, its running over more 'groove length' per second than it was earlier in the record, so since there is less information packed into the same amount of space, does that mean that the tracks closer to label are sonically more accurate than those closer to the edge (in respects to the reproduction of the sound source in the grooves, not so much in terms of what the human ear is capable of picking up on)??

I think it would be the other way around, that it runs over more "groove length" at the outer edge. But that's some interesting shit. I don't even know where one would go to get an answer for that though, I'm sure most the people that make the physical records probably don't even know the answer.

If you have to ask, you probably are.

Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: brycickle on February 12, 2013, 08:53:52 AM
I have. My girl and I were together a year and a few months when she left to go teach English in Spain. She went for two consecutive years and we'll have been together for 6 years in April. It's tough but if you really want to you can make it work. The first year she was gone I went and visited her for 3 weeks. That was a great initial experience. The second year, I was going to try and go for the whole time, but that fell through. I managed to save up enough money to go for the last six months. Like I say, it just depends on how strong your relationship is and how committed you are to making it work.

Be sensitive and listen to her, and then fuck her. But make sure you fuck her so good she screams. That's how I got out of the friendzone.

Any of you ever notice speed wobble "windows"? At a certain speed the wobbles come on, but then they pass as you go faster. Like when a plane breaks the sound barrier, they kinda lose control while they're going through the sound barrier, but then get complete control back once they break through it. Not like it would be at all the same physics at work, but you see the analogy.

I wonder if there's some whacky physics going on with the king pin at certain speeds under certain conditions.

What if we are supposed to die to reach another level of living or something like that. Suicide only helps you get there faster.

What if I somehow started dealing heavy drugs at a young age and also saved all the money that I have ever received, where would I be right now?

What if I truly couldn't die, like I just end up in a lot of pain at most.

What if I was the creator of this world and everything in it. I made the complex roadways and advances in technology by simulating it in this subconscious state. I put all the people on this earth in my own world and everything happens for a reason predetermined by me. Someone else could have their own world elsewhere, but it could be half-assed and only an island somewhere that they made.

Why do you expect that level to be any better than this one right here? What if there are levels that go harder and harder all the time, and if you live a good life compared to what circumstances you started, then you pass on to the next level. In the end there is a prize for the winner.

Example: I can't do nollie crooks, but I can nollie and I can crook. So I got my bases covered, and I think if I try nollie crooks for six hours (not necessarily in a row) then I will get that shit. I'll begin research this week

probably nothing beyond predispositions to psychological/intelligence based traits, but memories are stored in neurons, and would have no conceivable way for that information to be transported down to the gamete producing cells in the nads

I feel ya. It's all for display purposes, as you said (and potentially some tricks, I guess).

Ventures were always upside down for display models, but I guess their logo changed over the past couple years.

What happens if you take supplements for muscle growth if you skate on a daily basis? Like protein powder, creatine, amino acids and shit.

if they work itll probably make skating harder. arent those more to bulk up?

If you're only skating, most/all the muscle mass gain is happening in the legs.
You won't necessarily "bulk up."  The protein helps the muscle recover better as far as I know. 
You'll probably see more strength and tone in the muscle you use for skating.

But at the end of the day, I don't really believe in taking that purified protein crap.

Yeah, the main purpose of supplements like that is to bulk up I guess.

Hm, yeah.. It's true that you do use your legs a lot while skating, but don't you think that you also could develop core strenght like a motherfucker if you do use supplements like that? I often get sore in my lower back and abdominals to when I skate, so you might gain some mass in those areas to.

I can see why you dont believe in protein supplements, and if you're getting enough protein through your diet, there's no point in taking them. But creatin on the other hand is different. It actually makes you stronger and increases your stamina a bit. As far as I know, creatine is the only supplement besides steroids that actually has documented effects. Probably won't make you a better skateboarder though..
Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: foureyedjim on April 15, 2013, 01:35:17 AM
Supplements should only really be taken if you have a deficiency or something
I feel like drinking purified protein is like lying to yourself.  It just seems very emasculating to take it rather than achieving things on your own.  For instance, I know of this anabolic supplement called 'rage' that people take and apparently it's a crazy stimulant that helps body builders endure pain better.  I don't give a shit about body building either way, but if the whole point of body building is to become stronger, then what's the point if you're dependent on steroid type shit in order to achieve your goals?

By the way I think creatine shrinks your balls, but I'm not sure and I'm too lazy to google it haha

Why do americans call petrol "gas" when it is clearly a liquid
The root "gas" has a meaning which doesn't necessarily mean gaseous in general, but a specific type of gas, one that can be burnt as fuel. The suffix "ole" refers to any oil-based form, and "ine" noting a further distinction among hydrocarbons. So that's how we got the word gasoline, and over time it was shortened to just gas.

Is the 'dark flow' that is observed in the centaurus region of space the gravity  of another universe affecting ours, like two bubbles touching.  If so, could this pull of gravity from outside our own observable universe be related to the sudden expansion speculated after the big bang?

Some skate-related things I was wondering about are:

Where did Vicky go?

Does anyone actually do Indy nosebones, or is that a trick relegated to video games and punk rock posters?

If a kid riding his board down the street got attacked, how many pros would stop to help him if they were driving by themselves?

Does Ari Marcopoulos still take skate photos?

What would Bukowski have thought about skating? I can't recall him mentioning it anywhere.

Does "space" have mass? If it doesn't then why do we put it into the same category that would adhere to our laws of physics, and consequently the universe. Couldn't the universe (orbital bodies, matter, etc.) be projecting away from the origin of the big bang, but space be standing still because it doesn't move and is (unlike a universe) infinite. Meaning that we live in infinite space but a finite universe (multiverse).

I'm pretty deep in the bottle, but was thinking about this. Please feel free to crush.

I think the theory is that there isn't such a thing as totally empty space or a total vacuum; particles are coming into and out of existence all the time.  The Higgs field permeates all of space/time, and it's how particles interact with the Higgs field that gives them mass.
So, the Higgs field was created just after the initial big bang, and the coalescing of matter is a result of the Higgs field.  I think that's the prevailing theory, but someone else might know better on here?

I've been thinking about the Egg Theory a lot lately. I don't necessarily believe in it, but it's a neat thought.
According to the theory, you are all me, and I am me. I am living, will live, and have lived every life that there is to live. I am in training to become a god. And in doing so, I must live every life that there has been, is, or will ever be as my training. When I die in one life, I am able to communicate with another god that has matured and gone through this already, they will answer any questions I have and we can talk until I am born into my new life. Then once I live every life, I move into the real world where the gods reside. And then I train the next person by putting them into each life. So, if I help some lady put groceries in her trunk, I am helping myself, or if I get hit by a bus, I can become an some asian, female, worker in the 500's. Or Johnny Appleseed or something. So, you are all me and I am me. Or, we are all you and you are you.

Nah, more than that. If you're getting hooked up, you gotta hook them up. Give them like 50%. You're getting a helluva deal, the least you can do is share in that.

...unless the haircut was shitty or took three hours. Then something like 20-30% is probably fine. Unless they were super nice.

The Amish are actually pretty rad. Aside from being nice to a fault, and the hardest workers, their philosophy on life is pretty cool, too. They aren't the Luddites people make them out to be; they don't embrace technology for its own sake, but they don't shun it either. They embrace technology only if it enriches their community. So they won't have personal telephones, as they're alienating (think about it, it's true); but they'll have a phone booth in their town, so their businesses can contact clients/vendors. And they're sure as shit not out there proselytizing like other religions, they keep to themselves about that.

keep your place minimal, don't bring too much furniture/bullshit in. makes it easier to orchestrate the room to your liking and makes cleaning so much easier and faster.

A clean room is pretty key for mental health, for a lot of people at least. I know dudes who are stoked to live in their own filth so whatever floats your boat.

Been over thinking about the phrase "least favorite" lately. When people say something is their "least favorite" shouldn't that mean that out of all their things that are their favorite of that group that the one thing in that the specific group they're talking about is the least? People use the phrase to describe something they hate whereas to me the phrase should be used to describe something one enjoys but not as much as other things they enjoy in that category because of the use of the word "favorite" to describe it.

For instance if someone says "Batman is my least favorite superhero" they are saying that they don't like Batman but to me it should mean that out of all their favorite superheros Batman is one of them but the least of them all.

I just had some issues with my apps because I made a new account. If you've changed around your account you may want to delete the apps and add them with the new account.

Also, try using the App Store app on your phone to get them instead?

just look at mass media , all the reality shows , people idolizing people who have done nothing but being famous for being famous .

A person like Britney Spears is regarded as a talented artist by millions of people . Yet people are telling her what to wear , how to dress , what to say , producing and making her music for her , writing her lyrics and autotuning her singing

How does that even work ?   Why is snooki and those other jersey shore people make alot of money for being idiots on TV ? 

Why is hollywood remaking movie after movie , showing bad movies down out throat . Movies that cost 100s of millions to make and even though most these movies are absoulte shit , they still make 100s of millions

Why isnt all of this money being poured into healthcare or education ? why are not people who invent cures or furthers science super stars instead of idiots ?

Nobody cares , thats why .

I think about this all the time. Are my mental issues real or am I just a bitch? I always feel like it's the latter, but then whenever I talk to someone about it they tell me it's the former. This leads me to believe it's a bit of both, but mostly that I'm just a bitch. People also tell me I'm intelligent, but holy shit, I feel like the dumbest person on the planet all the fucking time. What the fuck is intelligence anyway? Why the fuck can't I get and/or hold down a job? Am I really that incompetent? Should I keep playing Dungeons and Dragons? Should I delete this or post it?

I agree that it could be both. Because when it comes down to it, the only person that can help you is you. It's great to have support and someone to talk to. But at the end of the day, you'll have to work on changing your outlook. That idea that you're incompetent and inadequate is poison. You're a good dude I'm sure. People have rough stuff to go through often in life. Do what makes you happy. Start focusing more on the things that you want out of life and find avenues to achieve them. Work yourself out of your hole, move to a new city, go out to a bar and meet people, hang out with friends, masturbate, skate somewhere by yourself and have some fun, mostly, get out and do things to take your mind off of it. Don't sit and dwell, and don't self medicate. It's a hard time I know, but you're good, you're worth people's time, you just have to find those people first.

Lamm says it's simpler than that. "The song is about writing a song. It's not mystical," he says. Take a look at some of the lyrics:

Waiting for the break of day--He's been up all night and now it's getting close to sunrise.
Searching for something to say--Trying to think of song lyrics.
Flashing lights against the sky--Perhaps stars or the traditional flashing neon hotel sign.
Giving up I close my eyes--He's exhausted and his eyes hurt from being open too long, so he closes them.
Staring blindly into space--This expression can be seen often on the faces of writers and reporters. Trust me.
Getting up to splash my face--Something you do when you're trying to stay awake, though a good cup of Starbuck's does wonders for Cecil and me.
Wanting just to stay awake, wondering how much I can take--How far can he push himself to get the song done?
Should I try to do some more?--This is the line that makes many think it's a drug song. But it is just as easily construed as a frustrated writer wondering if he should try to do some more lyrics/songwriting.

As for the curious title, Lamm says, "It's just a reference to the time of day"--as in "waiting for the break of day" at 25 or (2)6 minutes to 4 a.m. (3:35 or 3:34 a.m.)

Because you probably need a break from feeling your body sensations, pains, obsessive thoughts etc. Beware though. Over time you'll have to drink more and more to get the same effect and then you'll have the old problem still. Whatever you were using alcohol to escape in the first place. Plus a new drinking problem. I go the weed, elivil and vitamins route to keep me in a manageable state personally.

Because in that moment you do a shot everything fucks off. Everything.

Then drinking is the best thing ever. So much fucking fun (that you remember!)

Then your going through the empty bottles in the morning looking for drinks without smokes in them. And still drinking em if they have ash in them.

they open up chelsea pretty early i think. idk about tribeca, but both of those parks have those turnstile things at the entrance so you really can't get in until it is open.

for morning sessions I either go to LES or highbridge. Mccarren and 88th st. in queens don't really have much in the way of fences so I'm sure you could go there.

Why are thoughts so abstract/nonsensical when the body is tired?

 I just finished having a long conversation with myself involving mythical creatures. It started with me thinking about unicorns and thinking that if all they do is have a horn on their head then they're the least interesting mythical creature, but then I started thinking they had something to do with chasing rainbows or something which led me to think about leprechauns. I started to wonder if leprechauns put their pot of gold at the end of a rainbow or are they after the supposed pot of gold at the end of said rainbow. After that I wondered if people in China believe in dragons.
 
I usually don't remember these dumb thoughts after I'm fully awake but I'm still a bit sleepy right now so this is still fresh in my mind.

I'unno, but I was watching "Two Weeks in Hell" on NetFlix which is about dudes in this brutal application program for the Green Berets in the US Military and these dudes were pushed to the absolute limit of their body. Anyway, through real hard physical activity and lack of sleep, some of the soldiers started to get real weird. One of them couldn't perform these real basic exercises anymore, and one of the instructors asks him, "do you know where you are?" and the poor bastard replies: "hash browns?"

Never realized how significantly physical fatigue can fuck with your head til I saw that.

Nah, but it's less likely for a bus to stop as suddenly as a car cause of the inertia they have. But, if a bus crashes into a concrete wall head on at high speed, you're in some trouble.

I would say alot of the " good " posters on slap pretty much treat the forum as a good way to find out what skaters are doing pretty much as they would do with any sports league . Who is on what team , who is changing teams and what rumors and so on is going on .

There is also the aspect of what tricks have gone down / who is going to be in the next video and what style somebody has . All of this is kinda related to sports / art and so on .

How somebody is dressing is abit borderline . It kinda goes into the style of how the skater skates . It does effect who our favorit skaters are.

Where its gets abit too much TMZ . papparazi , celeb magazine , celeb stalking  is when there are threads about what Pro or Am is fucking who , what they did during the weekend , Who is getting divorced , or a whole fucking thread about what somebodys girlfriend looks like

The whole following people on Instagram and twitter is abit weird too . And maybe abit borderline stalking if you combine it with some off the threads on here

Making gossip threads about a Pros personal life , his girfriend or his divorce , combined with instagram and twitter shit is no better then a 14 year old looking at Myle Cyrus on mtv and in some celebrity magazine gossiping about who she is fucking , how much tounge she is sticking out and where she is twerking

I totally get what your saying about the discussions going TMZ and the following on Twitter ect but isn't it this stuff that makes Epically Later'd so interesting? The behind the scenes, personal anguish, addiction, falls from grace, redemption. The Bones Brigade documentary was more about the personal struggles of the team than it was about the ground breaking skating. Lance's feelings of inadequacy and Rodney believing his father that there was no real future in skateboarding, these things were pretty moving. I understand that this is told years after the fact and it is from theirs and the documentary makers perspective and here on Slap it can all be gossip and rumours but I think what some of us are looking for, particularly those who started skating when it really wasn't cool to skate, is some kind of connection to these guys and their personal lives. I guess sometimes it goes too far and gets too personal but if it was strictly about the tricks done it would be too much like watching the hockey scores and talking abouth the draught.

Why do we need two nostrils?
Without knowing it your body switches back and forth alternating airflow from one nostril to the other using erectile tissue in your nasal passages every few hours. The reason being each side needs a rest from use to stop your sinuses from drying out and getting inflamed.

I'm sure we all get this from time to time. Some song is singing in your head, but you can only vaguely remember. Like from a past life almost.
'Shake that ass, girl, make that pussy wet', was the lyric going through my head today. Found it promptly once I was home.

Then youtube offered this gem:
Lord Jamar: Mister Cee, Gay Has No Place in Hip Hop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOWWd5X9ImY#)

Which led me to this:
Honesty Hour: DJ Mister Cee Talks to HOT 97: Resigns, Admits to Sleeping w/ Men & Addiction. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfPEPDX3IOw#)

I don't know either of these men (not a hiphop connaisseur by any means), but the blatant homophobia (?) displayed here got me thinking about sexuality. Mister Cee swears he is only addicted to transvestite prostitutes. This Jamar guy says gay ought not to be part of 'the game'. Everybody involved seems to try their best to sound tough and priapic but supportive, making the conversations cringe-worthy and endearing at the same time. And it got me to wonder how misguided the three 'standard' forms of sexuality (gay, bi, straight) are.

i worked in a call center with a pre-op transexual and he(?) would use the womens restroom. he would also use a very unconvincing feminine voice while on the phones and i think most people thought he was a prank caller and hung up on him. she got fired after a month or so.

Both. The music sucked and she drank before at her house, in my car on the way there, and then at the club. I felt so awkward just standing around waiting for her while I'm pretty sure she was diking it out in the ladies room.

cause oompa loompas get the job done. charlie was just as guilty as veruca salt and the other kids of sneaking treats but had less personality. i wouldn't have given him the factory. or maybe i would've outta pity but he'd run it into the ground. the psycho tunnel ride was just a ride. spooky but harmless. if we weren't basing our DIY offa harlan county, kentucky i'd maybe consider making it wonka themed.

sick did you see my bent pipe and half block idea on the stoked on thread? should be pretty easy and you could even put some cement up to it for more of a pole jam if you want. other than that a bank ledge (bank u must ollie onto) would be pretty fun. i guess i'm going to end up building that at my park and the pole jam and some ledges i got spots for. i went back to where i made my DIY manny pad and they left some of the tiles so i'm probs going to scoop those some night for my railroad bridge quarterpipe flat. only like 3 months till it's DIY makin' season!

yeah, that stuff sounds interesting. we got 86'd from our spot so we left the rock/bank ramp and took all the metal. not sure if we'll find one home, a diaspora for discarded skate obstacles or if we'll just pepper the city w/ a spot here, spot there. right now we've got our lightpole up on blocks like a car in a redneck's yard.

What if on every occasion when you would usually say things like "goodbye", "bye", "see you later", "see you tomorrow", "have a nice weekend", "see you on monday", "see you next year" or whatever, you just said "this nigga gone with the wind". Imagine if you applied that very phrase to all aspects  of your life, such as when leaving work, school, after visiting your spouses parents, after walking your kids to school or after a funeral? But you would do it in a friendly manner and use it like it was completely normal and would refuse to stop using that phrase. Would you end up lonely, broke, beaten up, dead or in prison?

Discuss.

thats what has happened to me before, but honestly if thats what it comes down to then awesome.  The money I save from not buying weed at whatever a dealer wants to charge will be more than enough profit.  Plus noone on campus has loud right now, selling g's of shitty ass "all natural jamaican weed" for 10 bucks.

Not sure about that breathing-thing, I actually dont automatically stop breathing when I concentrate on it, but that might have to do with having done several breathing excercises.

Now, check this out.

henry sanchez and pat washington from got gold (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tshrZjy8rC8#)

This is a classic videopart which I am sure most of us are familiar with.

The thing I have been wondering has to do with a particular combination of words that Pat Washington raps at 2:27. From what I understand, Pat Washington says that he "getting hella gear from my sponsored folks and if you see what I get a month you?d probably choke". What has always bugged me is this: At that point in the early 2000?s, Pat Washington was, if not an established name, at least someone who received decent coverage and had several sponsors. Why would he brag-rap about getting gear from friends, instead of rapping about getting it from his sponsors? Maybe its just me and the way I have been brought up, but I think it kind of makes him sound sad.

Opinions are welcome.

wow I think you've missed the point then. The tree wanted nothing more than to give the kid everything it had, and everytime he'd return it gave the tree a sense of purpose. Without the boy, the tree wasn't anything more than just another tree in the woods. and without the tree, the boy wouldn't have had what he needed. Some relationships in life are mutually beneficial on the same levels, but some are a little more complicated than a 1 for 1 exchange. Everybody on earth gives and takes, some people feel love by giving and don't need reciprocation, others feel love by being helped when they need it even when they dont have much to offer the other person.

Your "selfish" interpretation is the one I've heard most from other people, but thats probably because it's the most surface level observation of what was going on in the book.

Anyways, it's interesting at how such large and sometimes indefinable things get tackled by children's books. But then again, if you look at it as the stories you'll have known longer than any others through out your life, it makes sense to have them take on larger and loftier concepts. And sometimes the "simplified" delivery system of a book easy enough to read as a child means that interpretations can vary wildly or get lost in the boiling down.

My folks read it to me as a kid a lot, and I read it on my own even more later on. Eventually I came to realize why it resonated with me so much, I started to recognize that everyone is both the boy & the tree, some more one than the other, but being equalized in the great balance of humanity.
Now I have the cover tattoo'd on my left arm and the last page when the boy is old and sitting on the stump on my right. It reminds me of my folks, and of everything I've taken, and everything I have to give.

What did the people there have to do with Chechnya at all? I understand the reason the WTC was targeted on 9/11, I can see the symbology in that move, however malicious and shitty the people were that did it, I can connect the dots of reasoning there. But the marathon, I just don't get. Was it really as simple as some delusional loser who wanted to act out? The target carries no political/spiritual weight, it's innocent people out to support other peoples' gusto for living, what the fuck? That shit kept me up at night for a while.

i have no idea and i'm skeptical of any sources about it but no, people aren't 'born evil'. chechnyan terrorists are against russia so i don't see a connection to anti american antipathy. whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense and conveniently the kid got shot in the mouth [supposedly] and can never speak again...? i don't know, whole thing seems fishy. like all the time you see those high speed chases and the guy gets caught w/out shutting down a city. if it is true dude was on some video game shit, shoot this man, steal this car, get in a shootout w/ a few cops but not enough to die/get captured.  i question it is all. just like i question how many slappers legit skate w/ any frequency.

If only there was some way for him to put down words on some kind of magic surface that could retain ink or graphite . or some magical way he could communicate yes or no by moving his head in different directions . Or some kind of ... jokes over by now ,  cellphones , laptops , PCs , sign language . If stephen hawking can communicate with just his eye movement and a computer Im sure this guy could answer afew questions

And if you dont want a guy to talk , you dont shoot the guy in the mouth , you just kill him . I dont see the benifits to terminate one of the people you are setting up with the crime and then shoot the other guy in the mouth to silence the truth of the set up .

As to why . Well I guess its the same reasons as palestininan suicide bombers do it , they are fed up with it and they are so angry they just want it to be over and dont mind if they take down "the enemy " with them , combined with bellife that this is what their god want or that its good for the state / for islam


I dont see a connection with russia and the boston marathon but maybe they just wanted to hurt people / the country / USA politics or something like that . Makes no sense to me either .


Does it matter if people skate at all on slap ? maybe they skated when they were younger ? maybe they skated then got hurt , maybe they are 30 + years old and dont have enough time to skate anymore . Isnt it enough that they are interested / knowledgeable in the subjects we are talking about and interested in

Do you really need to feel superior to the 30 year old guy who skated his whole life but now has 2 kids , a wife and a job and skates less then you ?  or the guy pulling 300+ hours of work a month and is so tired on his days off he cant skate ?

From reading your posts about the boston bombing it seems your issue is more with them shutting down parts of the city then anything ells . You believe its a conspiracy ,  a test of the government to see what they can get away with .

I remember seeing a new york post headline concerning the alleged bomber that read "Ji-hottie" (like Jihadi) so I guess people thought his actions were religiously motivated, and that he's attractive

to monty, i don't feel superior, i just think people are out of place. i played little league but i'd be remiss if i were still watching the games. sure, dude could still write but how's it gonna get out? i think he's being held incommunicado like gitmo status. i really haven't been following it. just making observations, i'm not obsessed w/ it.
to cronkite, i said 'take [rolling stone] w/a grain cause it's a secondhand account'. i don't trust any media whole heartedly. just stirring the pot a bit. different thoughts, etc. it's stuff i pondered today not 'shark tits thinks he's reagan and gonna get all didactic on everyone's asses.'

I'm pretty sure he was a longboarder though. 

I was trying to get from Allston over to BU for a party that day, scary shit when they just shut everything down and blocked all the cellphone signals.  I have to say, I agree with ya Sharktits, I don't think the kid did it.  His older brother doing it and kind of dragging him along is a bit more believable.

been pondering how that chechnyan kid they say bombed the marathon prolly skated more than most people on slap.
[close]

Wait, that guy skated?
[close]
reledgedly. i never skated w/ him but i think rolling stone painted him as a 'skateboarding stoner' so take that w/ a grain cause it's not a firsthand account. but i'd like to think he shreds most slappers under the table.
so i'm over a month late here, but i'll throw this out there. the younger bomber was at my buddy thompson's house the day before the bombing. he would go over there from time to time to smoke weed with thompson's roommates. he had a longboard. he didn't actually skate. if you've been around boston long enough you'll run into gus at either eggs or copley. gus went to high school with the bomber, and claims he beat him up in high school. he didn't have a longboard then. just a case of "i go to umass, so i'll get a longboard to fit in"

i'm still debating getting that creature blanket by the way. that thing is fucking sick

for the past few days i've been strongly considering getting a credit card. i have enough money to hold me over until i start working again, plus some to get a new apartment. i potentially have a job coming up next month that requires me to literally sit on my ass in front of a computer all day. in my hypothetical series of events i' m weighing my options of whether or not to lease a car from a dealership, pay in cash for a used car off of craigslist, and what type of car to get. i could get a newer model that's good on gas and look like i have my shit together, or i could get a truck/subaru and take it on skate trips. if i got the truck/subaru i'd put a mattress in the back and use it for when i have no place to crash when i go on trips to places like sf, or nevada, or wherever. only downside is that it wont be as good on fas
with my adult math i averaged out how much money i'd need to make as a minimum to live comfortably and work as little as possible. now i'm wondering the feasibility of it all. obviously i'd work as much as i possibly could if the oppurtunity presented itself, but figuring out the bare minimum amount of days is giving me a good understanding of things

downtown worcester has a statue of a boy fucking a turtle so me and my buddy had a conversation sparked by that this morning.
i think it should be legal to receive animal love but illegal to penetrate an animal.

I was watching the Cale Nuske french fred ep today and was thinking; I wonder If he got booted from cliche or if he just sorta retired? He still seems popular so I doubt board sales at the time were a problem, but he was probably thinking that he was never going to be able to film a video part again and didn't want to do serious permanent damage to his knee (yes I now he still skates) Pushing himself to film one. Kinda the way Shane Hale said it happened to him at Baker. I've seen on his Instagram that Cliche is still Giving him boards, and were asking him if he wanted any tricks in Bon Voyage.

it is curious that we had a great depression and just total disparity between rich and poor but during the 50s one high school educated man's income could purchase a home, support a wife and kids and ever since we've needed double incomes [or higher education] to get by or be comfy.
when i started working minimum was only $4.25 or $4.75 but that was a pack of stoges and 2 gallons of gas. i think that's a good template, every hour of work equal to a pack of name brand stoges and 2 gallons of gas.
that and i think jobs should pay more in direct correlation to how shitty/physically hard they are.

If there was a cliff that was a mile high( or a few miles high) and below was, say, a couple miles deep filled with feathers, could you jump off and survive? My feeling is that the feathers would slow you down in such a slow matter that you'd eventually come to a stop deep in a puff of feathers. Granted, you'd probably suffocate being inside all the feathers, but I've always wondered if you could survive a jump like that.

Yeah that sounds like a whole thing that I don't wanna do. Maybe if I let it sit out and melt to where it's kinda at a liquid state but still solid that will eliminate the ice crystals.

You will always have ice crystals , its just u want them to be super small . The ones you get while pulling it from the freezer and then back and forth are the big ones . Like when you buy it from the store and the first time you have it its pretty smooth and nice , but after the first time its abit fucked up

Normaly restaurants let it melt down and then redo it in the icecream machine the next time they need it . Or with paco jets just refreeze it again . Paco Jets are amazing

fuck ok i feel dumb. i have most definitely seen one to regular, now that u say that.
good reminder to rewatch that part when i have an internet connection that isnt terrible tho.

i watched a townes van zandt documentary a while ago (super fucking sick movie,townes is obviously the shit).
townes' memory got destroyed when he underwent insulin shock therapy that was supposed to cure his craziness
he had to be introduced to his mom when she visited him after.
im wondering if this treatment could ever be useful, like if someone's so traumatized they cant deal with their life anymore.
theres a pretty good chance it just eliminates memories but doesnt change how a person feels tho
who knows? maybe it could be a last resort for someone? if shit ever got bad enough for me id be down to give it a whirl

If you go to a gym a certain machine(can't remember the name currently) works out the under side of your pectoral muscles which should help define the middle more. Just started working out more often and its a bitch. wish skating would offset getting older and drinking.

Do chin ups and as you ascend, try and bring your elbows together. 

The machine the other dude is thinking about is the Fly machine, or you can do it with free weights.  As long as you're motion looks like this...

if an ambulance driver is en route to the hospital for a very time-sensitive medical emergency and gets in an accident with a pedestrian or another car what do they do? I feel like there must have been times when an ambulance has gotten in accidents that involve other people and injured them as a result of their fast driving/people not complying with siren traffic protocol. i'm not saying that ambulance drivers suck but as elvis costello once crooned 'accidents will happen'. i was just wondering because it seems like if they stopped to help or call for help. they would be defeating the purpose of rushing to get help to the person they already had in the back of the ambulance. there would also be a slight tinge of irony if they called in another ambulance to take care of the new victim.

i brought this up to my friend and she essentially said "its their own damn fault, you're supposed to pull over when you hear the sirens". which is true but seemed potentially irrelevant because people are given emergency medical treatment for injuries that were "their own fault". i tried to google but the only accident i saw was a crash where the ambulance driver was checking the gps and drove it into a ditch. which is also pretty fucked up but it wasnt really the problem i had thought of. I feel pretty dumb for not knowing this kind of shit butt fuck it.
Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: brycickle on September 21, 2014, 10:26:11 PM
It would probably depend on the severity of the accident more than likely. They would definitely call in another incident to dispatch and get an additional response unit. More than likely they would continue with patient care of the initial patient, while making a primary assessment of any new patients until the next responders arrived on scene. At that point they would continue to the hospital with their initial patient. In response to your friend's statement, the emergency responders are always held liable in an MVC regardless of whose fault it was. This is because they're held to a higher standard. They will never deny patient care regardless of the situation though.

i tried to look up old hipster runoff posts and it wouldn't let me [thought maybe he just hadn't posted in a while]. also, sometimes a person will quote whoever ignored you and you can read the quote but if you try to read the original message it won't let you [perez hilton].

How illegal is it to go to a fountain in a mall and take the money out of the water? Theres a mall near my house thats jam packed with asians  who are both rich and superstitious and by the looks of it you could walk away with like 50 bucks in 30 seconds of sifting. The thing is FILLED with toonies and loonies.

i've gotten kicked out for doing it, homegirl from my squat in Detroit got peppersprayed and took to jail for doing it at Hart Plaza. just depends on the cops/security. they might help you out w/ a few bucks or they might arrest you.
one time i had this elaborate plan on market st [SF] and i get my shoes off and hop this gate and dig around for a while but long story short i wet my cigs so all the change i found went to replacing them. zero sum game!

I remember when Donovan Strain had his little segment on the Berrics and one episode discussed fishing for money in one of those fountains. He did something along the lines of putting headphones in and I think wearing a uniform so it looks like you're one of the guys working for the facility housing the fountain. After seeing that video I really wanted to do it just so I would have enough money to buy a new skateboard at the time.

Am i not cool enough to wear Vans?

I had one pair when i was 16, they were the TNT's forget which number but they gave me blisters. Now 6 years later i got a pair of Vans for Christmas and i just started to skate in them the other night and i have blisters.

Don't want to sell them cause they were a gift

what does this mean?
Maybe it's talking about how skateboarding has lost its core values and how it's all about money now? People, especially younger kids and older adults who don't know shit about skateboarding, see it as an easy way to make money because of all the corporate sponsorships that are involved today. They don't see skateboarding for how it really is.

at first i was under the impression that the artist didn't have any relation to skating and neither did any of the other works i saw of his so i just assumed it was a third-party's interpretation and had no idea what they meant. after learning who simon evans actually is i would safely guess something along the lines of what blind fisherman said. i really dont know though and i guess thats the point? art is supposed to be up for interpretation. i would still like to know how he meant for it to be interpreted though.

Post by: matter of fact on February 25, 2015, 02:52:21 PM
it gets annoying sometimes when pro skateboarding media and skateboarding get too jumbled together. the act of skating means something different for each skater, and saying the death of the "rebel" attitude is some huge hit to skateboarding is missing the point i think. some people skate to rebel, some to progress, some to explore, some to just cruise and enjoy the ride, etc.. pro skating seems "jockish" with all the corporate sponsorships, and seeing skating in tons of commercials can be grating, but being bitter and keeping one's mind in the past breeds poison. i get that some older skaters can't identify with the acceptance that skating has now, but just the act of skating is incredible enough that people will use it to get through life and have a ton of fun. some might get into it because they see some money making potential, but in the end who gives a shit? they'll try to make money and you'll still be able to go skate and have fun anyway.

inter-subjective seems to necessitate more than one person. like a shared hallucination, it ain't 'objective' cause it ain't true but it's not only 'subjective' cause we both seen da ghost espy. that's my understanding of it.
subjective is just like your take on a given situation.

"Subjectivity refers to how someone's judgment is shaped by personal opinions and feelings instead of outside influences. Subjectivity is partially responsible for why one person loves an abstract painting while another person hates it."


"Intersubjectivity is a term used in philosophy, psychology, sociology, and anthropology to conceptualize the psychological relation between people. It is usually used in contrast to solipsistic individual experience, emphasizing our inherently social being."




Or was this a joke about the "subjectivity" of one or both of the definitions?

thanks for the replies bros.
wasnt a joke rusty. i have a bullshit sociology test tomorrow and im trying to do some last minute studying.

i think i've got it now. inter subjectivity just refers to the subjective views of different people in the same situation.
like, a professor and teaching assistant will have one view of a class, and the students will have another view of that class.

i was over thinking it. i think you nailed it with the shared hallucination thing shark tits.

Good thought! I was actually a high-jumper in track for my highschool, despite being only 5'10 amongst a line up of Space Jam size highschoolers. My whole team tied at getting over 6 feet, which was over my actual height, so I feel like I have some spring in my step. But also, I'm an opposite footer. I jump off my left foot, but an regular footed on a skateboard, so popping switch actually feels more comfortable. I don't know how high I can ollie, but 6 maybe 7 boards I can get over on flat primo style stacked or maybe a jersey barrier plus a few inches.

Sorry, I just saw this reply now. That's crazy, I never even considered what foot I naturally jump off.  My switch pop isn't as high but I thought that was due to less practice.  Awesome that you were on the high jump team as well, that explains the mega pop. I definitely can't ollie that high, I was never in high jump but I got bronze in a grade 8 long jump competition, probably part of the reason why I loved Jeremy Wray's water tower ollie so much haha.

pondering how some people can be going bald and not crew cut it but just keep a skeleton of their old 'cool guy' hairstyle and still be 'cool guy' like steve olson does. alex is a bit prettier so i don't know if he'll bald as gracefully. he might look like that shitbird from the new radicals who talks people out of suicide by reminding them they've got the [shitty] music in them.

MY dad has mastered this hair style, it requires a good barber.  He used to have it all long and cool guy-y like Steve, but now he has it shorter and still a skeleton I guess he doesn't seem very bald.  Ragane or Rogain however it's spelled is involved too.

Oh god, I hate it, I hate it. The thoughts and urges won't go the fuck away. Even when I was taking medication and erections were hard to get and harder to maintain, the urges never went away. I desperately want them to but I don't think they ever will.

What makes a good slap poster? Looking at all the hate that some posters get on here (Tracer and Jedi are perfect examples), is it better to have a poster that doesn't ever say anything extreme or the opposite?

Like I always know if I go to a Tracer thread or if I see he posts something, it'll be some ridiculous shit that usually causes a big argument but I remember him. Then with that whole Cigbeer thread, in a way it's stupid to post that shit on here but it's way more entertaining then a lot of shit others post (like this post). Some other people on here (myself included) don't really add much to the conversation and I feel like that's not what slap is about and it makes these posters forgettable. I know that it's probably best for a balance between the two but still having people like Tracer around can help teach people how to heelflip on a 8.5. Then seeing all of Will Easley's png photos in each post reminds me of how stupid those are, especially when you know there will be a minimum of two per post.

I just really want to know these things so I can eventually develop a child to turn into the perfect slap poster and not become another worthless piece of shit.

I would say yes , cause your body in water is like a boat displacing the water , forcing it to the sides . You are touching it / effecting it and adding to its mass

Even if you had some wind machine that pushes the water to the sides without touching it , the force would still add to the weight


I could be wrong though , i did flunk out of physics

unless some water splashes out, it's the same as standing on a scale normally.

Isnt that kind of like saying " Im not a racist but .... " ?

Anyways why fuck with anybody ? Why insult brink or Erica ?  why not just chill the fuck out , worry about your own life and try to be nice to people ?

Has brink or erica done anything personal against you ? If they did I guess I kind of see a point to insulting them or starting up shit , but most likely they are just living their lifes the best they can which doesnt really effect you much . So just go on with your life

When I was a kid, I read in Skateboarder that Dill had a guest trick in Arto's Sorry part.

After reading that, I rewatched the part a few times to see if I could spot Dill, but never had any luck. Then forgot about it.

Tonight I was randomly thinking about it, watched the part again, still didn't see it. Did some research, and lo and behold:

Jason Dill does the bs smith in the grey hood.

Thanks, that explains it. You can't see his hair from back then, it doesn't really seem like a Dill trick either.  And since I'm fully nerding out right now as usual, this reminds me of Keenan and Gino's Mouse part, I wondered who did the f/s noseslide down the rail. I asked Crailtap and Meza said it was actually Keenan, and that it confused a lot of people.

low card still sucks but they made some wormside X lowcard collab hats w/in the last yr so i don't know if they're still making zines but they're still making mesh hats.

Any of you guys ever feel like Goldy Locks when you're trying to find the right vagina to have sex with? "First girl her vagina was too tight, the second girl she was too loose, but the last girl her vagina was juuuusssst riiiiighht"

Today and yesterday I wondered and pondered on the ideas of drink and tobacco being legal and marijuana (mostly) not being legal, and whether  or not tobacco was just another form of population control. Then I watched a documentary on Josef Fritzl and had to go to bed. Heavy shit,that.
absolutely along w/ cars that go faster than the national speed limit, alcohol, military and a ton of other stuff. so long as there's a bit of choice involved it's uasi-moral [don't take my cigs from me] buta bunch of stuff has got to be that way.

You know when you're searching for like a part or something on Google to build something with and it directs you to "AliExpress" or something like that? Now is Ali a Chinese guy cause I'd be damned if all that stuff isn't made in China. He's like a *special* Chinese guy that can't sell all his stuff on Ebay like a normal person trying to make a buncha money and will send you through some insane "wholesaler only" loop on his website while you're trying to be like "yeah I needed this here, here's my money, good day to you sir".

When I was a kid, I read in Skateboarder that Dill had a guest trick in Arto's Sorry part.

After reading that, I rewatched the part a few times to see if I could spot Dill, but never had any luck. Then forgot about it.

Tonight I was randomly thinking about it, watched the part again, still didn't see it. Did some research, and lo and behold:

Thanks, that explains it. You can't see his hair from back then, it doesn't really seem like a Dill trick either.  And since I'm fully nerding out right now as usual, this reminds me of Keenan and Gino's Mouse part, I wondered who did the f/s noseslide down the rail. I asked Crailtap and Meza said it was actually Keenan, and that it confused a lot of people.

Well my mind is blown. never knew that was Dill.

How FUCKING COOL would it have been if while Henry Rollins was the singer for Black Flag that they'd have covered "Street Fighting Man" by The fucking Stones? Like maybe I'm completely biased since I shook hands with Mick Jagger while I was a huge Black Flag fan during the Bridges to Babylon tour. Maybe I was even wearing my fucking Black Flag T-Shirt that I fucking Hand Dyed Myself at the concert that happened at? Well I'm guessing I was. Anyway just the IDEA of Black Flag covering the Stones doesn't just sound bullshit at all to me. Has to be Henry though. Yo what if Henry Rollins never left Black Flag? How much fucking better would life be? A lot if you ask me. He's still alive. He doesn't seem as pussy as Mike V to me. Yo what if they had Jay Adams as a singer instead? You think he'd still be dead now? Well maybe he just didn't like Black Flag? Why Mike V? C'mooooonnnnnnn

That's awesome man! I did this with my second child. When I had my son in the first ultrasound they said the baby was a girl then we went to go get those 3D ultra sounds months later and that's when we found out we were having a boy. Crazy feeling to have. That made us just wait when we were having out 2nd child which was a girl. That's awesome that you guys are willing to wait though almost nobody does that nowadays, everyone is too impatient.

We did this for both of my kids.  If you wanted a particular sex for your child and found out you weren't getting the one you wanted ahead of time, then that poor kid is already getting hated on before he or she isn't even born.  I just wanted a healthy baby, and I'm glad we had two kids without any major complications.

October 21 is almost here, so been reading about time

A feature of time is flow. There's the determined/fixed past, undetermined/open future, and the now that flows into the future making more past.

The problem with the experience of flow is that it's not consistent with  laws of physics. For physics, there's no direction to time, since given enough information, the future and past are just as knowable.

To solve the problem, they look to entropy, since entropy gives a direction, since it increases.

But even if entropy increases, wouldn't the future still be knowable by the laws of physics?
So how can entropy account for the experience of time, since it doesn't give a privileged now and undetermined future?

And since entropy is only statistical, sometimes entropy decreases. But if we were in a system of decreasing entropy, we wouldn't experience going backwards in time. So, how can entropy account for our experience of time, since decreasing entropy is not reversing the flow of time?

90s you could get away with more shit. Look at old sitcoms, like for example Married With Children, there would be no way shows like that could be on the air now. People get offended too easily now.

well he did get banned for a wk so he might be referring to that. i just don't see that being something bubblegum tate would do/did. i know most people think he earned his ban but obviously he doesn't so he's pissed at whoever did it. he's on some graf forum he wanted me to let anyone know who wants to talk to him. funny story is i think he was 86'd from the graf forum a while ago for sharing some taggers real names or some shit like that. i don't know, guess his ban is up over there or maybe it was a different forum.

If you're suppose to treat your drunk/high friends like babies. Are you suppose to treat drunk/high babies like adults?

Toddlers can be irritable, opinionated, self-righteous creatures. Parenting them often reminds me of taking care of a drunk friend. A drunk friend who lives with you and never leaves. Nonetheless, toddlers and irresponsible friends happen.

Here are 30 things you can say to both your toddler and your drunk friend:
1. You can't nap here. You need to go to your bed.

2. We don't eat food from strangers.


3. We never touch our private parts in public.


4. We pee in toilets, not in the street.


5. Chew with your mouth closed.


6. Keep your fingers out of your nose.


7. I am not playing that song again. We have heard it 15 times. Put on your pants.


8. Don't put that in your mouth.


9. It's not nice to stare.


10. Yes, those are boobies, but we don't touch those.


11. I know, couch is a funny word.


12. You have to eat all your food.


13. Stop looking at me like that.


14. I'm going to tell your father.


15. We need to use our "inside" voice.


16. Please keep your hands to yourself.


17. Don't point, it's rude.


18. Please go back and wash your hands.


19. Do you really think whining will get you what you want?


20. Please hold my hand in the parking lot. I don't want you to get hit by a car.


21. I don't have any more money. Please stop asking.


22. I know I said you could have ice cream, but it's too late now.


23. Please don't roll around in the grass, you are going to get your clothes dirty.


24. I am not going to ask you to sit down again. SIT DOWN.


25. Please don't ask me if we're almost there. I will tell you when we get there.


26. Do you need to sit in my lap?


27. I need you to use nice words.


28. We don't hit. Hitting is bad.


29. Why are you holding yourself? Do you need to pee?

30. I told you to sit here. Why did you leave? You have to tell me when you're going somewhere.

Next time you have the task of taking care of a drunk friend, remember why you love them. Be patient and hold their hand. They probably won't remember in the morning, but just like a toddler, they need your love.

Do people with kids become immune to how noisy and annoying they're being or do they just stop giving a fuck and to ignore it, escape into their smartphone?

Unfortunately in this day and age the smartphone has become part of our bodies now, people cant live without it. At some point most parents do become immune to their child's behavior and forget that in public nobody wants to see their kid acting up. But parents today become scared to discipline their kids in public because everyone is always watching and instead of it being ok to publicly whoop/spank your child, there's people now that classify any kind physical force unto the child as abuse which puts them in a tough position. At that point i guess you got nothing left but to dive into your phone and escape reality, even if its for a few moments.

A few moments? I wish! I'm talking a 40 minute train ride. I'm sure it's tough but sometimes I wish there was a family carriage on trains, planes and restaurants etc. Ever had a long haul flight with a baby behind you?  You'll soon be backing infanticide!

not sure if this is racist (i dont think so) but about the disaplining children concept, all the east indian parents i see NEVER get phased at their childrens outbursts, like, it dosen't seem to even register.  They ignore it completely.   After i witness it I always think, "thats fucking rad!!"  -probably a heathy way to go really.

I personally am not embarrassed if i have to spank/discipline my child in public. Thankfully my Kids terrible twos weren't as bad as some so they are for the most part pretty behaved in public. They of course will have their moments like every kid but most of they time a stern look at them with "stop it right now!" is usually enough for them to snap out of it. Its all about building a strong relationship with your kids and spending a lot time with them so you know how to discipline them. I see way too many parents nowadays simply give their kids phones/tablets to calm them down but the second it dies, all hell breaks lose and they don't know the first thing to control their kids.

Can Caitlyn go around and say how much she and her female sisters have suffered ?

Can Rachel Dolezal identify as black and have everybody call her a black woman ?

Can Rachel  go around dropping the N word and complain how much her brothers and siter have suffered under slavery ?

Pondering being tied to things metaphysically(?).  Like am I affected by banana republics type imbalances in the world that benefit me cause of where I live?(some people probably have died  in those sweatshops over the years)  I thought that although it looks like a good deal for the west, maybe it just comes out in the wash really quick and degrades the world.  The ethical question that makes me think of is, should medical discoveries heralded by germany ww2 thru inhumane treatment of war criminals be destroyed or poured over by scientists and used?

benzos can't kill you by themselves? they always say most ODs come  from mixing them w/ dope or alcohol but apparently the few hundred i have stashed won't do anything by themselves. so much for my 'plan B'.
also, every world leader ever has a higher body count than every serial killer. bill clinton killed more people than jeffrey dahmer and he was not a wartime president or a hated villain. obama is responsible for more death than the manson family and john wayne gace, eileen 'the monster' wuornos and the Zodiac. and to half the country he's a motherfuckin hero.
our values are fucked.
people think the army/navy killing foreign muslims is for 'our freedom' but they don't think crips vs bloods is? for the record, neither is but they are the same thing. veterans day should be for fallen gang members who's death didn't have shit to do w/ my life too.

at a contest in the 90s, tom penny and clyde shingletoes tied for 'best trick' for both hippie jumping through the open front windows/over the roof of a car in a contest but it had ramps up to the windows and wood across the inside so prolly not what you're picturing.

if you look at the needles on a pine tree, they grow the same way as the leaves come out of a pineapple but that still seems like a weird explanation.

John Lennon ? who abandon his wife ( who he used to beat up ) and abandoning his child to live with crazy ass yoko ono ?

Bob Marley who repeatedly cheated on his wife who said he used to beat her up and raped her . I think other women made the claim he smacked them around aswell

Nina Simone pulled a gun on a shoe clerk after being told she couldnt return the sandals she had already worn.

it doesnt really matter in my opinion. some people are always going to be shitty in some ways, they might as well make great stuff for other people to enjoy. it's almost like retribution.

it's really the work that people admire, they never meet these artists so the person they imagine in their heads is guaranteed to be different from the person who actually existed.

Monty, that was by far, the most Swedish thing I've ever heard.

Funerals are for those that are grieving. If you don't think it will aide in your grief, then I don't think you're obligated to go. Your friend is gone and will have no feelings one way or the other. If it's looked down on in your social circle, maybe explain to them that this is how you're dealing with it.

Funerals don't matter. Spending as much time as possible with a person before they pass should be everyone's priority. It's already too late when they're in a casket. I realized this at my friend's funeral and acted on it when my grandmother was about to pass.

For the first and only time in my life, I had a Slap-related dream. I literally dreamed of Tracer last night, I'm not even joking. In the dream, I decided to turn my skateboard and skate shoes into a pair of rollerblades, and I was much better and had much more fun rollerblading than skateboarding. Then I wrote Tracer a letter, addressed to "STEVE TRACER TORONTO ONTARIO CANADA" thanking him for making me realize my dream (???) and making it come true (!!!). No, I have never touched a pair of rollerblades in my life (but was totally a scooter kid... yeah).

     Skate park comitees don't get enough imput from street section skaters (who make up the vast majority of skateboarders) becaause those people are busy skating and smoking weed.  The comittee always consists of weekend bowl riders who have families.  Anyway this reminds me of the incredible room for advancement skate equipment has but like the skatepark committees no real skaters are interested so anything 'new' design-wise or tech-wise isn't good or it's for longboarding.  (I'd like to see trucks worked on, new designs all the time not ugly and shitty tho, with percision metal.  And full custom decks custom concave and kick tail.)

Uh...yeah if a dude was doing it or you were imagining a dude doing it, that would be gay for sure. Whatever though, to each their own. I was never requested to shave, she just went right to it.
I can't even...
"Wait, you got a handjob from a girl? That's pretty gay brah" ::)

This does bring up an interesting point though. It's pretty apparent that, the US is going through a dramatic increase in xenophobic paranoia, an irrational fear of the other, which politics and the media are stoking for their own personal gains. I feel that these comments(unless im getting trolled, if that's the case, well done), are the result of this pervasive mindset. The same fear of things different or incomprehensible to you, is perhaps the same fear which has propelled Trump into the position where he is now. It actually stems from the fact that all ideologies have failed, which put politicians into a position where they became mere "managers of public life", and to restore their power they now, instead of offering the optimistic promises of the failed ideologies, they now pose themselves as protectors against phantom enemies.

There is a really good documentary series by Adam Curtis on this subject, Called "The Power of Nightmares", here's episode 1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTg4qnyUGxg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTg4qnyUGxg#)

Kobra is correct that is Butthead's mom's/mom's boyfriend's house, you just never see them because they aren't very good parents and leave him there all the time.

When is a good deed not a good deed ?

A child runs into the street and a car is coming straight at him. The driver doesnt see him and the child will die if nobody jumps in and pushes him out of the way

A person risks his/her own life to jump infront of the car and pushes the kid out of the way . Both make it unhurt and the person is hailed a hero for saving the child

Does this good deed change if the person only did it cause he wanted to become famous ? or cause he wanted to be labeld a hero and doesnt really care about the kid ? he only did it so he could get in the papers , on Conan and get laid  ?

There's only a switch with a padlock over the plastic cover, above the meter...no wires to fuck with. If you cut the lock, the electric company knows you're stealing service. I had to wait eight hours for electricity but wasn't going to do anything illegal. I was just curious why they want all the breakers off. They weren't off but nothing bad happened to our: computers, TVs and PS4s. Also, I spent fifteen minutes using alternate phrases looking for an answer before posting here.

Can anyone help me with this movie question? I just watched The Hateful Eight last night, and I feel like this issue is too big of a mixup to have just been a mistake and has some other meaning.

When the new sheriff of Red Rock gets into the wagon with Kurt Russel and they're bantering back and forth, he says he'll buy them dinner and booze in Red Rock for picking them up. Kurt matter of factly says "I don't drink."

Once they're in the cabin, Kurt spends quite a bit of time at the little bar area and is shown several times drinking.

For some reason I can't stop thinking about it today. Anyone else notice this or have a theory about it?

By "start service" do you mean the power company turning on your electricity, or sending an electrician over to fix shit? Most likely your stuff was fine because it's all relatively new/the circuitry in your house is up to date. Older houses with older circuitry and appliances might not be able to take power surges as well, so they probably just ask everyone to turn off their breakers before connecting them to the transmission lines just to be safe.

If you meant an electrician coming over to fix shit, it's so that they don't get electrocuted while messing with your house's electrical system.

Id wager no . Walt was not a animator if I remember correctly , atleast not on the level of ub iwerks.  And back then producing animated movies took alot of time and work . You would need alot of man power to create a even short movie . So walt would have to have his staff animate it for him which by default not make it a secret

I did this one a month ago, and waxed the wall. Also waxed my axle and nut. It made a really cool noise in the footage. You can hear the metal on metal of truck on rail and also the grinding of axle on brick wall. I think you don't get pitched because most of your weight is on the rail.

At a previous job, I heard this story repeated at least 50 times. One of the guys did this and when he pulled out, there was a jalapeno on the tip of his dick. And it burned.
Now that I work with all women, I don't get to hear stories like this.

It does exist, but it's definitely not like people, who get bored because they only have a hundred games in their Steam library or because they've been to all of thes cheap retaurants in the area this week already. Put a dog in a cramped place with no stimulation, and it will get pretty fucked up mentally. They get edgy, pace back and forth, and even self-harm by chewing on themselves. If that's not boredom, I don't know what it is.

Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today

If you can give yourself a bath in the tub, it's a bathtub. Like a full bath, covering your entire body with water in ideal conditions. If you're bathing yourself with the tub, like squatting in it as you clean your asshole with a wet rag, or kneeling inside it with the lukewarm water up to your navel, I guess it's just a tub. Bathtubs are more fixed, tubs are more mobile. At least that's how I see it.

Like if normal people see things, maybe hear a little bit that isn't real, but mostly just see things, would they have an opposite effect? Would they like vividly feel, smell, taste, hear things that totally aren't there the same way that when normal people take them it really looks like things are there but aren't?

I saw a couple on a longboard today. The lady stiff as a board (of the non-long kind, because those things are mad floppy), and the guy languidly flicking his foot on the pavement, holding his lady like that Titanic scene as the whisper-quiet board rolls through non-existent 9 am traffic. I've never seen that before, people sharing a board like wrongboard Templars. That honestly made me feel envious of normal people who aren't lonely.

Lately I've been wanting to learn how to design clothes, shoes, whatever... I have to do something about the urge, and hopefully learn something good, even if it's how to adjust my own FITS. I had something interesting to post here, but I forgot.

Something I saw a while ago, back when my personal "posting around the clock" rule couldn't be in effect. A blind couple, with canes and sunglasses, guiding each other around. How does that even work? It sounds like something out of the Bible. I'd guess that the man had more vision than the woman, but they were both wearing sunglasses. The guy was way more assertive with his cane, waving the tip around like an earthquake detector, while the woman just waved hers around gently to check for anything the dude might have missed.

I still have keys to the last 3 places I worked at. I wonder if they changed the locks? Or the alarm codes? Im not gonna try, but I want to soo bad.

It would be cool to open up the kitchen and cook a nice meal for myself at 2am, so many ingredients to choose from. Or take a girl out to my restaurant that I own.

I think that's why Bojack bought that restaurant. Or was it? I don't really remember.

Why do skateboard companies call any shoe not designed specifically for skateboarding a "Lifestyle Shoe"?  Can't they just be, "Shoes"?  When I go to work or walk my dogs or whatever in non-skate shoes, I never think, "Damn, I am really getting my lifestyle on."

usedta have a friend named 'the biz' who remarked on his 2 pairs of shoes 'i skate in these ones but i just pimp in those'. so we've been ironically calling them 'pimpin shoes' for 21 yrs behind that bit of ephemeral shtoops.

Laundry detergent commercials often have images of removing certain stains from fabric, but they never mention if semen stains are easily removed. This leaves adolescents everywhere wondering if that's going to be a problem or not.

I'm also wondering if society will ever be comfortable with the idea of a detergent commercial blatantly mentioning "semen" in the same breath as grape juice, even if it's for practical, non-sexual reasons. Probably not. Also this has probably been subject of multiple comedy sketches somewhere.

This will definitely ruin non-white clothes, but bleach gets rid of cum in a pinch. It's great to get it off surfaces, like if you jizz on a wall or something. Hot water makes it melt and stick, so wash your cumrags with cold water.

I bought my wife one because she smashed her old phone and didn't want a "big" phone and I have to say I quite want one now. They seem every bit as functional as all other iPhone models just smaller and more lightweight. I have a 6S for business and it's not practical when your out skateboarding or chilling.

Bruh, the Indy 500 is 200 laps. That's quite a few laps. Can't wrap my head around it either, but maybe there's not much else to do in some of the midwest states where it's most popular and getting hammered on Buds while hooting and hollering with your buds is the best source of entertainment, which actually sounds fun. I think, too, that Nascar is really high on TV ratings as well, which means more people are into than you think.

i know plenty of people who side with whatever their favorite party sides with and never give it any more thought than that. i dont understand it either, but id guess that picking your political stance is a lot like picking your favorite sports team to a lot of people. gotta support the team even if their gameplan is fucked.

Man, the snapchat animal filters... why do women think these are cute? They look extremely corny and wack.  ???

Theory: They want to take and post selfies to get attention for their looks, but don't want to feel vain about it all the time, so using an animal filter allows them enough abstraction to feel they are doing something other than what they are doing. Just posting a picture of themselves for attention. Since there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting attention for your looks it may show kind of inner conflict whereby they feel ashamed(on some level, even sub-consciously) of their own desire for attention? Shits complicated I think lol

My sister is super into F1 racing and I asked her about it because I feel the same way as you.
She said the cars have crazy limits to fuel and tire usage etc meaning the drivers are seriously hauling ass with the possible risk of burning their engines out or blowing a tyre.

That said I think they're pushing for more environmentally friendly cars now.

Everyone's body/metabolism is different.  I imagine it's mostly a sedentary lifestyle combined with bad food choices.  It probably just sneaks up over time and they learn to accept it.  I hurt my back a few years ago and couldn't do  anything for months.  I ate and drank and laid on the couch wearing sweatpants.  When it was time to go back to work, I was surprised how tight my pants and slim cut shirts fit.  I dropped the weight pretty quickly once I started moving around.

come to a walmart in michigan, youll see some of the fattest people youve ever seen. its so pathetic that when i actually see a handicapped person riding one of those scooters around the grocery store, im sincerely surprised since 99% of the time is just lazy fat people riding them.

Ive always thought about that, not so much jumping a fence but when i see really fat people  i dont understand how they allowed themselves to get that big. If i ever noticed myself starting to get a pot belly or anything close i would freak out and do anything to lose it before it got worse.
skater wonders how you could get fat, junkie wonders how skater could wear those clothes, goofy boy wonders how gambler can loose his house, gambler wonders how workaholic can loose his family chasing money, trick daddy dollars wonders how alcoholic can drink himself to a cardboard box and the bum wonders how a porn girl can take all that dick, sex worker wonders how serial killer can't control himself and gotta kill, murderer thinks he's better than the guy can't control his hands around children, pedo wonders how welfare people can live w/ themselves and so on.
it's just kinda, every man finds hell his own way and if you're not wired for this hell it's just cause you're getting it in another way.

Why do some girls wear their pants so super high up. We are talking above the belly button. Wtf is that all about ...
[close]

I notice alot of chubby girls do this. I actually asked a chick in the nicest way why she wore her jeans so high and she responded "to hide my belly".  In my opinion it looks stupid as shit and dosent hide anything

Yeah but in shape / skinny girls do this aswell. Randomly seeing pictures of Taylor Swift and she has skirts and pants up to her belly button. Or fitness models on instagram with yoga / tights up to the belly button...

Shits confusing SON

Fat people all hit a point where they have to decide if they're going to have their pants above or below their gut. It's a big day in their lives and they have ceremonies for it. It's called a fat mitzvah. I just came up with that you guys can use it for free.

"alright fellas, i'm going to leave on a good note. bye yall" you say to your little 15 yr old sk8er friends. you head home feeling pretty good. you still have a lot of energy, because you're psyched on that hella dope new trick you just landed, so you decide to do some reps on your bench. you take off your shirt, and look in the mirror...you see your sweaty bulging pecs glistening in that perfect lighting in your parents' basement, and you start feeling really good about yourself. "LET'S FUCKING DO THIS!!!" you scream to yourself. you get on tinder, and swipe right on every girl. you get a message from a cute one. you see she's wearing a FUCK TRUMP shirt, and you get really excited. you check her bio, it says " i like sk8rs, i like to netflix n chill, fuck trump, i like to watch movies, 3 + 4 is 8, lol jk it's 7".  wow, this girl is perfect, and she is fucking hilarious too! you start chatting, and she agrees to meet up with you. one hour later you two are fucking. she says she had a great time, and wants to hang out again next week. you're so stoked. more stoked than you were on that new trick. you really think this girl is perfect. you drive over to your hillbilly town's walmart, and find yourself in the jewelry section looking at rings. a whole hour passes before you realize ...whoa tobey, what are we doing? we just met this girl today. this is crazy. i better just go home. as you are nearing your house you see 2 cop cars in your driveway. you get worried and think to yourself OH NO! PLEASE LET MOM AND DAD BE OK! you walk up to the officers and say "what's going on here?" then you look behind your back, and  quickly whisper fuckin pigs, i fuckin hate cops, sk8 or die. "are my parents OK??" "what's your name sk8r punk?" the cop asks. you whisper "tobey". "well, tobey we're here because you're suspected of rape". you are taken to jail. it turns out that perfect girl was actually a feminist that was mentally off. she really believes ALL MEN ARE EVIL. her goal was to go on tinder, and frame a guy for rape. right after you fucked, she went to the police station, and then the hospital. they have your DNA dude. when you enter the courtroom you look at the jury.......all 12 people look like lena dunham, even the one 60 year old man. they are just glaring at you. in the back of their heads they remember that news story about daniel holtzclaw. the cop that got multiple life sentences for rape. they look at you and see a slight resemblance, but can't make the connection. they just think that's the face of a rapist! GUILTY! you do 8 freakin years man. you are beaten, and raped numerous times over those 8 years like andy dufresne. you didn't rape anyone. you did nothing wrong. she just randomly called you a rapist man. you finally get out. you get on the ol' slap board, and the third post you read is a joke involving obama. do you call that guy racist?

not  trying to pick a side here but maybe WallieD choose obama as it was the president before this one + (portrayed as) the exact opposite of the current president therefore ultimatly fit to convey the point (or joke?) wallieD was trying to make which was: its a presidents thing (socio-liberal OR alt-right).

A dumb joke anyway, and wallied turning every topic into dipshitpolitics is nothing new so why am I typing this

maybe, but hear it just as often in a negative connotation. like "fuckin a! my truck wont start." or "the raccoons got in my trash again, fuckin a!"

those are both pretty hillbilly references, so maybe its just hillbilly slang and doesnt make sense.

moral of the dumb exaggerated story is to stop randomly accusing people of shit. maybe karma will bite him in the ass one day and he could be known as a rapist if a crazy woman randomly labeled him as one, even though he is not one

it was a throwback to a previous comment he cried over a long time ago when i sarcastically went over the top (obvious to everyone, but him) accusing him of kooking me, and  somehow he took it serious, i guess because he is just sort of dim

pros and cons of shaving my pubes

Personally, I don't even run a razor through my pubes -- or anywhere else, for that reason. But every once in a while, I cut them all off with machine or scissors. It's not something you should do on the reg (unlike getting faded), but it's a nice way to keep fresh in hot days.

I back that! scissor trims are the way! shaving is more itchy and uncomfortable than its worth and you end up with gross red spots n shit, take athem scissors and cut right down and youre all good

I usually just shave my balls and shaft with a Gillette Fusion. My pubes are longer than ever...3-4" and are starting to hurt when the hairs curl. I did contemplate using scissors, but I have a semi-irrational fear of cutting my penis and/or scrotum. I think I might try using clippers.

Sometimes I think about visiting the Santo Daime place and seeing what's up with their magical tea. There's a center in my area, past the Hare Krishna farm/compound, which is in the middle of nowhere. Drinking ayahuasca is legal in Brazil if you have a religious reason to do so.
You can probably buy something from them, if they're anything like the ones in America. If you're going for the ayahuasca, good luck.

There's a center in my area, past the Hare Krishna farm/compound, which is in the middle of nowhere. Drinking ayahuasca is legal in Brazil if you have a religious reason to do so. What sucks is having to deal with religion, and all of the Daimists I've met were pretty weird as a whole.

Dad travelled to their church in the mountain, which according to him was completely formal and serious and generally upstanding, drank the tea, puked it all and nearly fell off his wheelchair. He was very impressed by the experience, said he saw so many lights and that his soul left his body, and that he "felt the divine". I wonder how it feels like, but I'm worried about not "coming back". Dad didn't go back to the place because he's not religious in the least, but came back exactly the same as he was... but I'm as scared of psychedelic stuff as I am curious.
Yeah you can make that shit shit yourself if you don't want to pay some bullshit shaman to moan over you while you trip balls.

It's worse than that, they are super Christian, only an offshoot that allows you to get high on tree vines. So they chant hymns about how they drink the Daime (which means "give me") and how they're not afraid of doing it because it shows them the light. They wear costumes and sheriff stars and feast on fruit after they're done. Trying to do it myself would probably be like entering VHS-tape-tea territory... and that never ends well.

Just find a nice place in the jungle and pour it yourself. Shroom trips maybe killed a few brain cells but my perspectives on life and people changed for the better, probably the same with ayahuasca. They aren't doing it for no reason.

It has to do with DHT, it makes hair on top of your head fall out but makes it grow everywhere else

Yep, this is why I and all the other guys (presumably) rock this look: my hair is thinning on the crown of my head and rather than let it thin out, I shave my head, but my beard comes in quite full so I go with that because I look way too thin/sickly without it.

most people who think logically, practically and compassionately have stopped. but theres still loads of people who would still back trump even if he decided to put all minorites in concentration camps and start a war with every single country on earth. i think the only way they would stop would be if he actually took away all the guns. ive said it before, a lot of people just pick a team (rep or dem) and root for them like they would in sports. they dont give a shit what happens as long as their team wins.

That's the worst part about it. When die hard republicans hear about the shit Trump is doing, they immediately just jump to, "well what about Hillary's emails! She's a crook!" Or they just ignore that crazy shit he's doing and chalk it up and not real. Bitch, just look at the current situation at who's running our fucking country and make an objective decision on that individual. It's a wild time.

I think this article is great about Trump and his desire to be liked and how he's basically a child. Really well written and it's from a conservative as well. Worth a read in my opinion:

Most people on here probably live in the US. On TV, most of the news is about Trump/Russia, and I didn't even see the story, until I stumbled upon an article in the Apple News app. Morrissey spoke out (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/23/morrissey-attacks-politicians-and-the-queen-over-manchester-terrorism-response) against politicians.

Watching the news, day after day, desensitized me, in a way. In all honesty, we kind of are used to attacks like this. It doesn't mean that we don't condone it, as much as there isn't anything we can personally do to change what happens. If someone did create a thread, it would be a bunch of posts like, "bummer," or, "RIP," before turning super-political. The most we can do is be kind and treat others with respect. When it comes to people who are fucked in the head, there isn't anything you can do to stop them, especially when they're committed to their cause. You can only hope that the government catches them before they can carry out their plans.

I was watching some old movies today and came across

Quote
Revenge of the Nerds is a 1984 American sex comedy film from 20th Century Fox, produced by Ted Field and Peter Samuelson, directed by Jeff Kanew, and starring Robert Carradine and Anthony Edwards, with Curtis Armstrong, Ted McGinley, Julia Montgomery, Brian Tochi, Larry B. Scott, Michelle Meyrink, John Goodman, and Donald Gibb.

The film's plot chronicles a group of nerds at the fictional Adams College trying to stop the ongoing harassment by the jock fraternity, the Alpha Betas, who are aided by their sister sorority Pi Delta Pi.

Ive seen this movie before but its been atleast 15 years I think. Parts that stood out to me were

1: "The Nerds" pull a pantie raid on a female sorority. Basically breaking in and stealing panties and as a result bursting in on naked women in their rooms and hiding in showers to see naked women

2: During the pantie raid they install several cameras so they can spy on the women and watch them sleep, shower, get dressed and so on. All the nerds sit in a room and watch this on a TV

3: Taking stills of the live feed of the sorority and selling them at a event. So basically taking screenshots of the naked women that their hidden cameras have taken of naked women without their knowledge

4: One of the nerds dresses up as one of the cheerleaders boyfriends and has sex with her without her knowing that its the nerd. She thought it was her boyfriend


This is a pretty fucking fucked up fucking movie ...

Skating a manny pad front of public library by myself late in the evening, catching my after office hours exercise.
Another skater shows up, skates right past me, straight up avoiding eye contact nor saying hi. Ok cool, maybe he is shy and I'm not the type who'll yell "Hi!!!" in someones face.
We skate the spot for a while, I see the guy is at the beginning of his journey - practicing ollies and frontside 180's, no flip tricks, although a try for a varial flip. I see he has a good push and proper ollie technique, so his future should be bright if he keeps on skating.
I sit down to catch some breath, dude rolls up offering to play a game of skate. I automatically decline because of obvious skill gap and I was feeling I would like to skunk him.

that kid was the asshole. he was playing you like a scene out of white men can't jump. he was going to do some whacky shane o'neill shit once the game started. he was teasing you with his smooth pushing, and ollies...you bought it, but it still backfired. he wanted to make you look like an old washed up bitch...brag to all his friends about beating an old guy. you spoiled his plan to boost his little sk8r punk ego

Definetly not man, a lot of dudes would have snaked/beamed him until he just left, which may account for his apprehension to say whats up at first, it's cool you didnt want to skunk the guy, but maybe he knew he would get smoked and just wanted to get some practice at trying new tricks and seeing how they are done

I play kids in skate if they ask regardless of skill gaps, but I usually do tricks I know they can do or easy things that I think they might be able to learn. If the kid gets close, I encourage him to keep trying it until he gets it. I taught one kid how to fakie shuv it that way.

the only reason they say gift cards are a bad idea is because they take zero thought or effort, and women want to know that you put at least some thought behind the gifts you give them. that being said, a gift card for amazon or olive garden is a bad idea because its super boring, but i think a spa gift card is perfectly fine if shes into that kind of stuff. i get my fiancee cards from boutiques that she likes, or for make up stores and she likes it just fine. ive tried getting her clothes and accessories and things like that and its usually a 50/50 chance that she likes what i pick out. we both know that and know that gift cards are sometimes the best option. she knows that i like picking out my own things too.

if you can whip up a nice card, maybe some flowers (trader joes has the best flowers for cheap) and maybe a nice bottle of wine (trader joes again), you're golden. just make it look like you tried and not like you only stopped at target the day before.

today is actually my 5 year anniversary of us dating, but were getting married in 3 weeks so we didn't really do gifts. ive already got the card and am hitting TJ's on the way home. we decided that were going to do dinner to celebrate on saturday when we have less shit going on, so that should be fun.

I grew up in the age of film cameras, so obviously someone had to pay to get one set of the pics developed and sharing was much more difficult (doubles, etc.).  Digital camera came along when I was in college, but only girls usually carried them to parties and stuff b/c of the purse thing.  Sharing on social media still wasn't a thing.   

Now everyone has a camera on them at all times and sharing is instant.  I have dudes I was good friends with for years and have no pics of.  Also girls I dated for 6mos + with no photos.  Now if you randomly meet someone one drunken night out you likely have multiple pics.

Like buy in general or pay a premium b/c they're signed?  In general people will buy them, depending on size.  I have no idea what a Gilbert signature is worth or adds to the value.

How do people enjoy having sex in a pitch black room?

Just randomly thinking about during my teens me and this girl were fuck buddies and every time we went to her room she would not let any light be on. I couldn't tell if my eyes were closed or not, thats how dark it was. Now that im thinking of it my ex (if i can even call her that, we dated for like a month) wanted me to turn off all the lights too when we had sex. I mean these girls were slightly overweight or just better yet thicc so maybe they were self-conscious about their weight?

Can any of you have fun having sex when its pitch black?

I'm a visual learner, thats why i could never jerk off in the shower growing up

I was lanky for the first girl, second girl i was a fat fuck so maybe. When you are using your hand though you usually have some type of material that gets you off. I never had fun with the first girl, i could have been fucking her stomach and wouldn't know the difference then. I convinced my ex to at least leave the bathroom light on so i could see some parts.

Sex is always an intense experience, even when it isn't emotionally intimate or physically appealing. There is a lot to the senses even if you can't see. "Bumping uglies" might not be the best euphemism for the mattress olympics, but it's good insight. Some people are grossed out by all of the flesh, theirs and otherwise. I don't like to have sex in the dark, as I really like to see what (OR WHO kkkkkkkkk!) I'm doing, but it's something I can work around.

I know it's been discussed a ton, but I thought about it a lot when that Am Scramble vid came out and they did the intro vid where they all talked and it mentioned Tyson Peterson doesn't make any money.

It's pretty wild to me that a skater can work super hard for years and they finally make it as an am and if they're lucky get $500 a month from a board sponsor. I thought about it a lot when Oddity came out and most all the dudes said they were barely getting paid. Are skate brands that small/hurting so bad that they can't give a couple hundred bucks a month to their riders? It just seems insane that with the amount of exposure they give a company, that their worth wouldn't be a little more.

Board sales fell off a cliff. The rate of people skateboarding has probably halved since 2002. Do they deserve big money? Yes. Is the money there? Not even close. Only the pros on FOSCKO get paid, ams get product.

I ponder why parents won't put their kids into sports anymore, if you can do football or hockey skating should come easy.

the vegetables themselves are vegan, but you are using an animal product in growing them, this makes your involvement in the growing process "not vegan", I guess it depends where you see shit on the moral continuum, you could theoretically have shit that is "more ethical" by your own standards, than a animal free replacement, so it's complicated and I think must be a personal choice

I'm guessing everyone has experienced this. You go skating (or really do any physical activity) on a hot day. Even though you might be drinking a lot of water, you don't piss much, or at all. You're just sweating it all out. Then, this has also happened to me. You need to pee before you start skating. But for whatever reason you don't. Maybe you're street skating and just can't find a good place. Whatever. So you just start skating. And the urge to pee goes away.
This got me pondering. Should you purposely go skate with a full bladder in order to keep hydrated?

I live in Florida so it's a sweat fest every time I skate. 6-7 shirts. I drink at least a gallon per session and I almost never piss until way after I'm done skating.

I've been on a search to skate or film someone skating one of these for years. The dilemma is that they are always full because people rent them by the day and are trying to use them immediately. So they are always filled with junk, unskateable (not the right shape), or the few times I have found a good one I come back the next day with a friend and they are either full or gone.

I guess it would depend on what you lied about?

I'd say being as honest as possible with your therapist is always the best option, to get the best results.

Really the only things you could tell them, that would result in what I'd consider repercussions, is if you're actively planning on harming/murdering yourself or others. Everything else is totally confidential, and it would be seen as a pretty big breech of ethics, for them to act otherwise.

Unless you're referring to a psychiatrist, and you're worried about your past dishonesty, effecting your chances of getting certain meds?
I can't really speak on that.

But if it's a psychologist, just be honest. Without getting too specific, I've admitted to some pretty illegal stuff in similar situations. Your therapist has heard way worse, I'm sure, and should be non-judgemental, if they're even halfway professional.

No, both sides are guilty of it. I see more fat-shaming towards women from Republicans and more small dick shaming from Democrats.

If he wasn't raging on twitter people probably wouldn't know as much about what's going on as they do. I have no problem with them providing a gun for him to blow his feet off with.

I think about it a lot. I've always kept my hair short but I'd like to be in Nick Cave territory around 39-40 so I should start now. I'm currently in a David Lynch if nobody cared about his ideas then I'm heading into a Snake Plissken and I think somewhere between the Plissken and the Cave I can start to do something with some mutton chops.

That shit really isn't fair anymore with the kids growing up skating now. It's like hazing to get into the frat and kids that start skating now are going to be the coolest fucking kids ever.

It seems that a large number of people on SLAP and Instagram write captions or posts without periods separating their sentences. Is that out of pure laziness? Lack of education? I really don't know the answer, but it bothers the shit out of me. It's crazy how I see it in the working world as well from adults. If someone has some info on this topic, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I watched Lurk Fest last night. Toy Machine tour video from 2007. In it, there are all these carton captions added in. Like what kids watching the demo are thinking. One of my favs was "that older gentleman rips" regarding Ed as he noseblunted across and down some funbox ledge. Anyways, that got me thinking, how many of those kids with thought bubbles are still skating nowadays? Did any of them realize they were in the video?

Another thing I've been pondering. Inventing a "cool" helmet. I'm picturing something that looks like a beanie. But would have a foam like material in it to absorb shock. I'm assuming to get something labeled as safety gear; it would actually have pass some sort of test. So this probably wouldn't qualify. It would be more just to lessen any blow you might take. Like you'd get a headache instead of knocked out. Kind of like an old school football helmet.

I don?t know what life is about, to me, but it definitely isn?t just about fucking/repopulating. I stopped drinking and talking to people...basically work, eat, learn, work, skate, read, smoke, browse the interwebs and sleep...way happier than ive been in years.

I can relate to some of this. Ever since the semester started, I just mostly go to school/study/work/fuck around on the internet/drink.

I honestly don't really mind it too much though, but it's only been a month so far.

That's cool you stopped drinking (I'm jealous), but I don't know if cutting people out of your life, is a healthy thing to do.

Just so weird that only Carroll had his own kickflips and everyone else was basically stuck with default. I saw a lot of shit on reddit gaming and them saying how EA kills so many indie game developers. That's why we will never get another skate and why a lot of people are just pissed at EA in general.

I doubt for a second that Tracer is actually gone.

Maybe he's lowkey posting in the music or help section so he can finally reach pal status.

Come back Tracer, all the new posters suck and we need you
[close]

I have feeling he is posting here but with a different name.

Any one of us could feasibly be Tracer.

What if we're all Tracer?

I think it's cool that he puts a lot of his money towards good causes, but by the time I became aware of U2, Bono was in his "presenting himself as Messiah-like" phase, so I've always thought he was pretty lame.

ya know how homophobes and really hardcore christians usually are gay or wicked promiscuous? so what kind of skeletons do wicked anti racist or pushing the more than 2 genders or whatever 'progressive' doctrine have in their closet?
do they secretly tell racist jokes and wish trannies would shut up and skate tranny?
do they 'love abortion but not for me'?
can someone tell other people how to live and be well adjusted?
on the face of it there's nothing wrong w/ not being racist just like you can be a good christian but is there murk lurking beneath the surface?

It'd be interesting to know what kind of timeframes you're looking at for mushrooms to kill fully grown trees. Please keep us up to date on this experiment. And yeah, the mushroom plan is most definitely a lot cooler than trimming branches.

Do you think some of the Baker or Deathwish riders secretly hate doing the double high five every time, but feel obligated? Or do some of them get anxiety when they greet a non Baker skater and wonder if the person that's about to give them a handshake is going to go for the double high five or just a normal pound?

I remember growing up in my neighborhood around the age of 10 learning how to skate with my first board.

There was an older kid, probably 16-17 years old who would always pass by my house with this flatbar. I had no one to skate with, so one day I followed him down to the corner. He set up the rail off the curb so it had this slant to it. I thought he was so rad, so I just skated near him trying my own "tricks" and din't say one word to him.

Looking back, it was probably kinda funny for him. Everytime he would skate his flatbar, this little kid would come down to the corner and basically session with him without saying a word. I always looked up to him and eventually started to talk to him. He was super nice, and showed me how to ollie and whatnot. He also really influenced me alot with chain wallets and baggy jeans. Eventually he stopped going to the corner, but I continued to skate there when I got my first flatbar.

I wonder where he is today and if he still skates...

Major shout out to that dude for being cool to a presumably annoying little kid.

What legal advise does someone take when being stalked/harassed? I think this person also has my SS# somehow, possibly through an old W-2 or through hacking. There have been hard inquiries into my credit, as of recent, but it's been over a year since I applied for a credit card...kind of glad I don't have a good enough FICO score for huge loans. I haven't given my SS# to anyone or applied for jobs in the recent past. The timing for both of these have a suspicious overlap, leading me to believe that it's the same person.

cops are lazy about that. it's identity theft, not stalking. some africans [nigerian, ghana? one of those countries] had cable in my sister's name. the cops knocked on the door once but nobody claimed responsibility. she got it shut off but no follow up. i'd try to contact the companies people are finessing in your name, shut off services and freeze your bad credit from accruing.

Thanks, my stress made me super paranoid that someone was trying to fuck me over. Being high while having stress is terrible. Anyway, I tried to sell shit on Craigslist a couple weeks ago...should have used the relay e-mail, instead of contacting the e-mail addresses and phone numbers in the e-mails, which turned out to be fake. I was desperate to get rid of the furniture, and probably got phished. I'll definitely freeze my credit, and thanks again, man.

no worries pidge.
so ya know that tired narrative 'skateboard deck prices have been practically unchanged in 30 yrs?'
well bull to the shit, says i.
i remember a day when we usedta buy blanks for $20, shop decks. pro decks, not more than $40. so i left my hometown and inflation happened and not too long ago i paid $68 goddamn dollars for a Polar. i like Pontus but i don't $68  like him.
this happened twice actually so i bought a $45 deck [w/ grip] at Rusty's skatepark and when it runs out i'm debating supporting black ninja. yes, cake muscle is a god awful name, the thing that should not be. buuuutttt, at $33 a piece, i can buy 2 for what i pay for one here. am i fucking over the little guy, brick and mortar? amd i voting w/ my dollar that i want more obnoxious youtube content? wwjskate? is that a slippery slope to remive? what's wrong? what's right? people don't care, they hate their lifes.

I think the saddest part of my day is usually filtering out the taint requests in my inbox from your multiple throwaway accounts. We aren’t competing there are no winners here only pain. I do not wish to defeat you, I wish to understand you. Why spongebob? Why buy so many of the same masks on Etsy? Why do you like taints so much it’s the least aesthetic body part? I just want to understand. Who is wallieD and why does he haunt you so much? Didn’t you say I was a newb? When I talk to wallieD he seems to say that he used to be inside of you, but then you lied out in the sun and dried out and he left you in tiny pieces and floated up and away. I dunno maybe there’s room in that sea pineapple for real human connection if you weren’t such a dry sponge. Maybe I can be soapy water and you can soak me up? Think of all the things we could clean together. At least one entire en suite bathroom, wouldn’t that be something? Two dudes, sponge and soap, just cleaning together. Real human connection. I often dream of it.

A man of science like yourself should be able to find out.
Procedure
1) Buy: (1) funnel, (1) condom, (1 satchel) lube, (1 packet) pop rocks, (255 mL) soda, and (1 pair) scissors.
2) Put condom on funnel end, before cutting reservoir tip.
3) Take off clothes, if you are wearing any.
4) Lubricate the funnel/condom, as well as your anus.
5) Take whatever position you feel most comfortable when shoving objects up your ass. Make sure you can hold this position. Downward dog is recommended.
6) Insert funnel/condom into anus. Be sure not to exceed 7” deep, to reduce risk of internal bleeding.
7) Open packet of Pop Rocks and empty contents into funnel.
8) Record results. [Fizzle or no fizzle.]
9) Open container of soda, and pour through funnel.
10) Record results.

Making the cut on that list is pretty brutal. Maybe if they found out it was because of us telling the moron to do so, but even then it's a strech.

That's a great question, didn't even think of that before. Actually reminds me of what Jon Allie said once, where he didn't want to ride anything with his name on it. It's widely considered tacky for a pro to ride his or her own pro model, so creating a board with you skating on it is probably a huge breach of tact. Yeah, maybe that's contributed to criticisms toward him.

Am I remembering correctly or was there a Blabac photo of Kalis at LOVE used for a graphic at some point? Could be wrong but I feel like I'd seen it before. If so, that in itself wouldn't be tacky either considering anything shot of Kalis at LOVE was gold.

i read this book called 'slackjaw'. the author had macular degeneration and was slowly going blind. it was a funny memoir, dude was into some silly shit like starting the 'nihilist worker party' and getting investigated by the feds and next chapter he's attempting suicide. like between all the suicide attempts was a lighthearted romp.
so anyways, slackjaw was loosing his sight, loosing his mind like papa roach.
everything didn't just go black, it dims slowly. legally blind doesn't mean much other than you can't drive. [pimp squad for life]

I'm trying to look into my soul in the mirror and notice I can't look directectly into both eyes with both my eyes. I can only focus both my real eyes onto one eye in the mirror. Is this a real thing? Can you focus both eyes onto both eyes of another person? I don't have another person with me right now. It feels like your two eyes really make one eye though.

But if you feel tense turn off artificial yellow light, you can feel the rays and its assaultive to your body and head. Blue light is not effecting my body but has a calming effect on my mind.

One of my old roommates said she did it mainly cause she felt like it was the one thing she could control.
They probably come from a combination of things though.

Having an overeating disorder must be tough. It's not like drugs, that you can totally cut out of your life.

getting married, adopting two dogs and two kids...I think she just wants to get married for the sake of it, but I don’t want to say it.

I’m also thinking about adopting a dog and building a house/concrete park in the middle of nowhere, on private property.

My third option is to travel more, but I’ve done that a shitload...same shit, different people, and fake as fuck in different ways.

I’m leaning towards Plan 2, but hiking the Appalachian trail with the dog and a gun first, if I can get approved of permits from each state I pass through...I’ll only hunt to feed the dog, so I don’t have to carry as much supplies. I guess I’ll call it Plan 2.5

Pigs are the embodiment of religious hypocrisy. Pretty sure Jesus Christ teaches you to give a thief everything else you own when he's in your house to steal your TV. "Here, take the fucking DVD player and rice cooker while you're at it". BULLSHIT! When the time comes, Christians are the first to hop on the phone and call an external agency to handle their violence for them. Turn the other cheek is a goddamn myth; it's what the book says but the world is a lot more "eye for an eye". The fact that police can't get involved until a crime has been committed tells me they're in the revenge business, not prevention. I'm basically trying to say that if you're a cop, or deal with cops, or think cops can help you, you're not really thinking straight. Unless you're into holy retribution, in which case fuck off.

As for the TNT thread, we might as well go all-in to prove a point and have the whole place shut down. Skateboarding is just like everything else.

thinking that due to it being antibacterial, honey might be able to protect your teeth. even though it's made of sugar.
counterintuitive for sure but sugar isn't in itself corrosive. bacteria in our mouth convert the sugar to acids. if you've ever put leaf matter or anything in a jar then pour honey over it, the honey will expel the offending particle.
so my theory [and there's some internet corroboration] is that the antibacterial aspect trumps the 'made almost entirely of sugar' aspect.

  The only abnormality is the inability to love.  You're view of the world is just unique, not abnormal. I don't know if this helps but a saying I heard was, "never compare you're insides to other peoples outsides"

Throwing the word "unique" around makes my blood boil.. No body is unique in this world where it's just a marketing scheme to sell us images and personal branding.. I wouldn't say "never compare your insides to other peoples outsides" But knowing something about what/why they do something might help you understand the world better..

Am I having a midlife crisis?

what exactly is a midlife crisis? I always thought a sign was when someone suddenly takes up surfing or riding a harley when they had never really done it before, as if something were missing from their life. or is it feeling old and thinking about death? or is it trying to be young again somehow by acting out? it seems like some people say anything middle-aged people do, particularly men, is a midlife crisis activity. are we supposed to only wear sports jackets with elbow pads and read books while drinking scotch? it’s sort of a form of behavioral control though there are true cases of it like the aforementioned surfers or bikers.

My crisis is nothing like that. I'm about to borrow £100000 to invest in my business after already investing nearly half my savings into it and the last few weeks I've felt like I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. My work/life balance is fucked and my sleeping is terrible. I'm about to turn 40 and I'm equally as scared of success as I am failure.

  A midlife crisis is  a seemingly regressive act or acts that the 40 or 50 year old male does in reaction to  chronic, long endured stresses.  Becoming gay, surfing, shaving your head, the motorbike thing -basically whatever it is you'r doing, if you look good doing it , it aint a 'mid life crisis'.

In some way yeah we are all unique but I'd say most people live pretty regular life and that creates certain common views for larger demography which you could argue makes people copies of each others.. Maybe this is just some existential bullshit though.. Me trying to figure humans, life out..

  To be fair I don't think we know how he treats people, it was more like he was just expressing thoughts.  Lots of people who don't like me are civil to me, I can't say I don't appretiate it.  That kind of allowance gives us a chance to change our minds easier cause we didn't tell everyone who gave us a bad impression first go to fuck themselves and die.  (as many times as we may regret not saying those exact words -prolly a toss up)

Why do we have to wear clothes? Why is being naked in public considered inappropriate? We were once cavemen that walked around like this. Did someone along the way feel insecure about his tiny penis that he made everyone cover themselves?

  Length of middle finger is the longest on your hand when you check.  which is the further up somebodies 'arsehole' to get .   That's my reason for giving the bird that way.  "Up yours and rotate" as I remember people would say. 
 In theory we wear clothes cause we ate the fruit of knowledge (which was not recommended)  and so we now know what shame is.

Birth control, more specifically, should I get a vasectomy.

The procedure is a small price to pay considering it is a very effective birth control method, and my wife was peregnant and gave birth to two kids.

Then again I don’t like the idea of having a doctor cut me up and forever change my biology for the sake of having unprotected sex

Both great points, thanks. The scales are tipping.

Those female birth control hormones are no joke, I remember dating a chick before she started taking the pill and then after she started she was like a whole different person. And it took my wife three years for her periods to normalize after she got off the pill.

  I dunno if they do anything hormonally I'm no scientist.  Its just that your not conscious and your gonna let gross coffee breath stranger to cut you open in your personal zone?! -not even for health but for convienence?   The thing is although I'm not a scientist I realize that we find out new information about reprecussions and affects all the time- its a constant -the theory that the changes made will be isolated compleately in there effect strikes me as un fucking likely.
  What we have is perfect, you can sell the idea of vasectomies to the public and I'm sure that's profitable but nature time and again seems not to want to comply with our whims(many examples of this we're seeing in large scope),    -"Don't mutilate, -congratulate!".

I also just realized that the steaham graphic was a spade which is bad.  Also I thought it was trippy how Steve Olson said in the Dollin interview that Johnny Thunders was Princes number one influence when he came out.

Id say Noseslide, if youre starting switch then you have to think the same way if you were the other stance. However this never works if youre going fakie. Like if you did a switch 5-0 but then did it with a fakie ollie instead of a switch ollie it would then be a nosegrind even though your grinding the same way. Its all confusing.

I wouldn't not don't doubt it?

I was wondering about a few potential infiltrators currently as well. Remember when Shetler was posting about his podcast and got, inevitably, scoffed off of here. Before that point, they had all of his threads collapsed into one main thread.
Now fast forward to now, there are 3 Nine Club threads running on the first page of Photos/Video alone. I'm not bummed about it, I like what La Croixb has been churning out. Yet, I'm wondering if the possible offing of Shetler was done by Nine Club shills behind the scenes here, as SLAP is heavily monitored by the industry. We want answers mods!

Has rap turned into a genre that is more about the music than it is about lyrics?

I mostly just listen to the music for most of the rock stuff I listen to and I don't even know the words to some of my favorite songs that I've heard hundreds of times. But when I was into rap, it was impossible not to listen to the lyrics and I feel like rap has always been a lyrics forward genre. And I liked dude's who were thought of as trash lyricists (Mike Jones, Jeezy, Gucci) but I don't know how there is so much garbage out there that people are getting away with. I'm sure there are still plenty of great rappers out right now, like there are tons of great rock bands, but all the new rap shit I hear makes me feel like the rapper should be embarrassed of how stupid they sound and kids playing it can't be giving a fuck what these guys are even saying.

Probably belongs in the old man rant thread.

you know those benches/ledges at the downhill ledges in boston?
they were one of the first places i've skated that didn't need wax.
i thought 'what wonderful marble!
so i'd got to other cities and try to skate unwaxed ledges and write them of [it don't grind].
so i screwed the pooch by not waxing other spots but what's up w/ that marble that doesn't need wax??

Sack up and be honest. "Hey, I don't mean to offend, but I really just need to focus on my work", or something of that nature. They technically can't be mad at that, and if they are, they're entitled fucktards who have never been told to shut up before. It's not your fault if they get upset about it. And you shouldn't feel bad because you were just being honest and polite.

Sounds like ribs to me. I broke a rib and "braved" through it only to get a lung infection from breathing too shallow for two weeks afterward. Take some pain mess or smoke some weed and if worse comes to worse see a professional.

sorta conspiratorial ... are things like pro sports designed to keep the most capable and strong young people away from the halls of power? politicians are usually slimy, corrupt, sorta beta, for lack of a better word, people. athletes are courageous, hard working, simpler, maybe purer of heart, though there are slimeballs among them too. I don't want to idealize pro athletes either, because they're corruptible and power hungry too, but eliminating these types of people from politics is probably a pretty good idea since they are often charismatic and would gain favor easily compared to the average politician types.

I was thinking about all the pitfalls that Crailtap has gone through, because there's been so many in the last six years.

Maybe I'm missing some, but:

- Pretty Sweet's lack of OG riders, and overall uncomfortable direction
- Pappalardo and Devine getting kicked of
- Alex and BA leaving
- Mike Mo's injury
- Lakai, Royal, Fourstar, Girl/Choc wood all becoming infamous for their lack of quality
- Becoming infamous for leaving too many talented skaters on flow and not jumping on guys like Carlos Ribeiro
- Altamont buying out the company (still unsure what exactly happened)
- Eric and Guy leaving, and Crailtap only noting their departure with a terse insta post
- Gino leaving
- Marc's whole rough getting kicked of
- Andy Jenkins leaving
- Johnny Jones' mom passing away
- The Flare being taken of iTunes for music infringement
- Lakai doing some corny collabs
- Fourstar taking a hiatus
- Malto's ankle or something destroyed, taking him out for awhile
- Jerry getting on then getting off not too long after, Crailtap again only noting his departure with a brief insta story post I believe
- Berle leaving, don't know if that was acknowledged by Crailtap
- Cory Kennedy and P-Stone's accident
- A noticeable following of trends such as graphics mimicking other companies' graphics
- And then lots of little things, Carroll having to reassure people that Crailtap isn't dying, Aiden Mackey talking shit about Lakai, etc.

It reminds me of Saturday Night Live back when it was lame for a few seasons in the late 90's/early 00's. But if SNL could come back, so can Crailtap. I mean from what I can recall about SNL anyway. When Jason Lee hosted SNL it was probably the worst episode I ever saw. He talked about Video Days and used skateboarding in his intro as well. Lorne Michaels ripped. Anyway...

i've always thought the right wing were the bad guys or 'slightly badder guys'.
on a large scale, blue or red is still status quo and anti environment/anti small guy but at least the people i was friendly w/ were self described liberals.
there was the anarchist/liberal divide but we weren't on the red side.
but after getting attacked by slap and reading '4chan' repeatedly, i watched a bunch of videos by this guy 'duerst the worst, bitches' and i have to say, that kekistan silliness is more inviting than the strident shit talk of the liberals.
ya'll might've jumped the shark.
if history just keeps repeating itself, who are the situationists of today? i think it might be those dorks.

remember emma goldman goes 'if i can't dance it ain't my revolution'? i feel like there's not enough dancing and too many people are just mad. those nerds are the only happy ones, everyone else seems very dogmatic.

because they were part of the early 2000s “rock revival” and compared to what was popular at the time they sounded pretty rockin’. I like some of their songs but I wouldn’t call what they do rock ‘n’ roll. it’s more pop rock or stadium rock.

rainbow haired shawn powers aka tekashi69 is in nyc jail for tx misdemeanor. i'm pretty sure that's illegal. but it got me thinking, he's always rolling w/ mad security but you can't take them in jail w/ you.
what if a former president or his family, who have lifetime secret service, did something criminal?
hypothetically if they were actually charged and punished, could they take secret service to jail w/ them? or can you just not be in trouble once you've got secret service? diplomatic immunity.

I’m about to turn 27 and I have nothing to show for it, while so many people accomplish more by the time they’re 18.

I know it’s a racial slur but it’s also slang for spies. there must still be some CIA infiltration of the art world. it’s obviously happening in the news. the way the outside world is portrayed is mostly negative and designed to justify possible conflicts. as for art, you could be right about andre the giant has a possee. even banksy seems manufactured. if the british government truly wanted to stop him, they could easily find and jail him. street art has been around forever but why does his in particular get so much press? it’s bizarre.

idk if it is or it isn't but poverty stricken white or native american areas aren't as violent as black [hiphop] ghettos, maybe there's something to it?

need some advice:

would you guys ask your girlfriend not to see a (male) person?
She admitted to having feelings, everythings out in the open, nothing behind my back or anything, and claims to be able to meet him as a friend (as he previously, before he broke up with his girlfriend, was).

I guess I trust her not to do anything stupid (as in cheat) but still, feelings do weird things and I also don't want things to develop into something more... idk

I don't really wan't to be put in the position where I (want to) ask my girlfriend not to see any person at all, so I guess I have to trust her, but it just does not feel very nice.

dear BeG, flip the script and hang out w/ a girl you like telling her 'trust me, i can not make out /w her sweetie' and see if she goes for it. if she's ok w/ it she's planning to let this guy pet the pussy. if she says no, she still might be ready to let him pet the pussy but she's not willing to extend you the same courtesy. in this case you have what is called a 'hotwife' not an open relationship.

Honestly IMO If she says there's feelings for someone else its never gonna last forever with you anyways. so just save yourself the drama and cut the cord.

have to include I've been a depressed sack of shit for the past half year I understand that maybe her feelings confused ones with just a wanting for something ''light-hearted''.

also have to stress (esp to sharktits I guess) she is not gonna cheat on me for reasons I don't feel like discussing, guess you have to trust ME on that.

dirtywee I've been asking myself the same but I'm very sure of how I feel about her,

but with my depression; been dabbling in thinking we might need some time off and I need to focus on myself, for being with her makes me feeling like shit (about myself) bearable, which is not healthy.
but now with this situation I just don't really know
Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: silhouette on September 05, 2018, 06:28:31 AM
I've been in your exact situation, trusted her all the way with the 'just friends' thing, she ended up cheating on me with the guy (and I had major reasons besides my pride and my trust to think she would never do that, too), she tried apologizing and doing her best to piece everything back together between us again for a few weeks because she could tell I was wrecked and then she just cheated on me with that guy again.

She had my entire trust the whole time so I thought it was 'nice' and cool letting her see her 'friend' till one day the news broke, and then broke again. So in my experience that's a very slippery slope, if you ever feel like discussing your situation because it definitely sounds familiar to mine and I know times like these really are confusing, don't hesitate to PM me.

Your last paragraph also spoke to me because the whole time she was doing this to me, she was really making me feel like a sack of shit blaming me for all the problems in our relationship, basically saying I was busy working too much to get to spend time together even though we actually spent a lot and I was making conscious efforts to organize myself even better. Now in hindsight I realize that in reality, she was probably just looking for excuses for her to get away from the relationship and feel better about living another romance, and she never had our common interest in mind in the first place. I mean of course if you're going through that shit in addition to your depression, her seeing that guy is never going to solve any of you guys' problems and maybe you should make sure she realizes that. My ex didn't even notice she was drifting away from our relationship and personally harming me because she was so passionate about that other dude (something "light-hearted" as you said) everything else stopped to matter, and she genuinely thought she wasn't doing anything wrong till it hit her that she fucked up and had lost me eventually.

Sometimes people get those urges and then for a while they don't know what they're doing. I'm not saying you shouldn't trust your girl personally for not having virtue (being outspoken about your feelings like you guys seem to be is great virtue), just that you shouldn't trust her more than you could possibly trust another person who's also a human being with their weaknesses and limitations. Be realistic and like you were saying, focus on yourself because in crucial times like this (which I wish won't be so crucial to you) one really needs that.

dear BeG, flip the script and hang out w/ a girl you like telling her 'trust me, i can not make out /w her sweetie' and see if she goes for it. if she's ok w/ it she's planning to let this guy pet the pussy. if she says no, she still might be ready to let him pet the pussy but she's not willing to extend you the same courtesy. in this case you have what is called a 'hotwife' not an open relationship.

unless that's your kink

Funnily enough my ex was really encouraging me to get a side chick the whole time she was seeing that 'friend' of hers she was in the process of developing feelings for; what terminated that stress was the event of me actually starting to talk to another girl (after I had been cheated on and made it clear our relationship was now over). Now she's freaked out about the idea of me getting involved in a new relationship, and keeps saying (all the while still seeing her new dude) she wants me back. Fuck that man, I'm running for my life here.

If you can hang in social situation with the three of you or more in a neutral environment it could still be cool, if you are not allowed to be around when she is talking to her "friend" that is a red flag.
On a cautionary note, I have a female friend nicknamed the oragutan as she never lets go of one boyfriend till she has a good grip of the next one.

Cut the cord. You don't know what this dudes intentions are and your girl already said she has feelings for him. Theres a very high chance she'll cheat if you give her and her friend the chance and they think they can get away with it. Most of the time people on the outside of a relationship don't respect it. You don't need that kinda drama. Drop it before something bad happens and work on yourself.

Things get better man. Don't put yourself in a position where they have a good chance of getting worse.

If you stick around a girl who says she has feelings for another guy but they're just friends and then they go hang out you are a punk motherfucking bitch who is getting played for a sucker. Have some self respect and tell her to beat it. She'll start "dating" that dude later the same day I guarantee it like the Men's Wearhouse guy. How you even let her finish any sentence about another guy without interrupting and saying "oh cya" is beyond me.

Clearly this dude has never had a long term serious relationship. its not as cut and dry when proper feelings are involved, shit for brains.

I did not ask ''should I break up with my girl cause i suspect her fucking this other guy, which I don't, irrelevant of whatever all you guys' well ment suggestions suggest.

'preciate you guys seem to wanna help but 'preciate it more if you guys would not make assumptions you ''literally'' know nothing about

Nobody misunderstood and I understand that you want to adjust the scope of what you said because you're defensive or embarrassed or whatever. Maybe next time don't ask a provocative question and then dump a bunch of details out if you don't want people to pay attention to them?

The answer just about everyone gave boils down to: No, you shouldn't ask her to stop hanging out with someone because not only is that not your issue, but it will create a whole other one. If you have an expected answer in mind go ask the mirror not a forum full of people.

my wife has been cheated on in two previous relationship because she gave those guys the freedom to hang out with other chicks. there was a point a few years ago in our relationship where she found out that i would sometimes go out for a drink with a female coworker on friday afternoons. i never told her about going out with the girl from work, which to her meant that i was trying to hide something and i guess i was. your girlfriend/wife/whoever doesnt like hearing about your female friends that she doesnt know, and thats why i didnt tell her. i never had any feelings toward this woman and i never felt like she had any for me, we simply got along well and felt like getting a drink at the bar next door once in a while. i didn't feel like what i was doing was worthy of losing my wifes trust, but hiding it from her was. i stopped going out with the girl from work because drinks with her wasnt worth giving my wife a reason to think i might cheat. i trust and respect her and i want the same kind of trust and respect.

on the other side of things, she had this long time guy friend who i had met and hung out with a few times when i first met my wife. they never dated, but she said that they did have sex once. referred to him as more of a "best friend" guy, but they stopped hanging out a while before we started dating. this guy i guess he was going through a tough time and texted my wife about how he missed her and wanted to hang out. she told me about it and told him the only way she wanted to hang out with him was if it was at our place and if i was there too. i believe she did this because she knew how i would feel if she told me she was going to see him someplace without me. he never came over and stopped contacting her after that.

thats my honest experience with this shit, take it how you want it. i agree with SFB and everyone else has said. nothing good will come of your girlfriend spending one on one time with some dude she has a crush on.

this girl i know from my town, ended up unfollowing her on instagram yesterday. shes pretty attractive and has mad followers but i dont care to be another one of her ig fanboys. not two minutes after the unfollowing she messages me asking wtf and texting an essay to me because she was offended.

I left a goofy comment once on one of my friend’s IG posts and she sent me a series of text messages explaining that she had to delete it because she takes social media really seriously for her career and shit. I was pretty flummoxed by that. I unfollowed her because I don’t use IG that way. For me, it’s just for fun.

I don't recall where I heard it, some podcast (of course), but that's one of the places he owns. It was the first place he bought when he started making money, but he has a handful of places that family members live in with that being one of them. Personally I like to think it's still home base and there's an unflushed turd in the toilet.

You're missing the point if all you can see is an individual expressing himself.

He asked a lot of people to trust him with a lot of money and resources, and they did. Thousands of people handed him their livelihoods because he asked them to trust his vision and they did. Then he went and ripped a blunt and did shots with hundreds of thousands of people looking at him. It's not morally wrong, it's not illegal, but it makes people who have entrusted him with a lot question his judgement and they aren't wrong to do it. He gave his actions no forethought and that concerns people. He isn't a rockstar and he isn't a product, he's the captain of several large ships.

That's my main problem with the worship of him. He's clearly smart in some aspects, but for some people to be acting like he's some tech-messiah who is going to lead us into the new age, is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

He's more an example of a somewhat more talented than average person, who happened to be in the right place at the right time, and has branded and marketed himself as some uber-genius. He's basically like a Libertarian Trump.

Robert Durst is credibly linked to several other murders, that they didn't even get around to discussing on The Jinx.

"Days after the Berman murder, police were reportedly examining connections between Durst and disappearances of 17-year-old Lynne Schulze from Middlebury, Vermont,and 16-year-old Karen Mitchell from Eureka, California. Investigators are also looking into a possible connection with the disappearance of 18-year-old Kristen Modafferi, last seen in San Francisco in 1997.

Schulze, a Middlebury College freshman, visited Durst's health food store on December 10, 1971, the day she disappeared, and was last seen that afternoon near a bus stop across from the store. ...credit card records placed Durst in Eureka on November 25, 1997, the day Mitchell vanished. Mitchell may have volunteered in a homeless shelter that Durst frequented; Durst, dressed in women's clothing, had visited the Eureka shoe store owned by Mitchell's aunt.  Mitchell was last seen walking to work from her aunt's store and possibly speaking to someone in a stopped car; a witness sketch of Mitchell's presumed abductor resembles Durst."

I learned a lot about Elon during that podcast. Never even heard him speak before that. On one hand I thought he was funny, especially during the flamethrower stuff, and at other times I was confused by weird periods of silence and how he dodged Rogan about who to talk to when you're trying to build tunnels under LA.

Real, those guys are fine. I was really rooting for Foundation. I think everyone's heard how they're hurting. I'm sure getting some money would have been cool. At least so Merlino doesn't have to do Uber for a while. I even thought that it would be cool for someone to start a gofundme or kickstarter to raise $5,000 for those guys. They deserve it.

That might be a nice bonus, but theres no amount of money you could realistically raise that would help those guys in the long run. What they need is a brand that people want to buy. Just having a good team doesnt mean people are going to buy your products.

Foundation hasn't been popular in 15 years. I say dump it and start something new that might have a shot at competing with the brands actually selling products. Same could be said about a lot of early 00s brands still trying to hang on.

They would evaluate the impact that the accusation had on your life, see that it affected your earning potential a fat fucking zero percent, and order you to pay the billionaire's legal fees. Then he'd run you over in his electric car in front of the courthouse and not even get a ticket.

can you give an example? i haven't noticed a common thread in pop music drum sounds, other than nobody wants to use anything other than an 808, and its gotta have that "trap" sound. even country music is doing that shit now to a small degree.

I don’t mean a booming drum beat but drums throughout. even old blues songs didn’t have a drummer. almost all popular music these days has someone either playing a drum set, a drum sample or synthesized drum patterns throughout the song.

Melvins and Butthole Surfers both come to mind as having two drummers. According to old old school friends of mine, the butthole surfers used to hand out tabs of acid with the cost of admission, then they had two drummers who were identical twins, who would constantly switch positions in between songs.

voice was probably the first instrument. you don’t need someone banging and hitting drums throughout an entire song. rhythm and time can be kept lots of different ways. you can tap your foot to keep time or follow another musician’s lead. the modern musical ensemble where you have pretty much every song filled with drum sounds - hi-hat, ride, bass drum, snare, etc. - from start to finish is not the only way to keep rhythm. how is this such a hard question to consider? I didn’t ask what are drums. I said why the modern version where they’ve become so prominent? do people need a constant drum beat heard throughout every song they listen to? why? is it a modern thing? it’s a question about contemporary music and how it’s different from in the past.

here are examples of music without someone hitting and banging on drums the whole time.

https://youtu.be/geHnMFybcCk

https://youtu.be/nIOA6Jw5nYo

https://youtu.be/p5GVMc5oCiE

most classical music compositions have some drums sometimes but not the whole song. the conductor keeps time. this is not an outlandish question at all. drums can be kind of obnoxious if you notice them all the time.

A steady drum beat probably started as a way to make dancing easier. In drumless music that’s meant to be danced to you’ll still have the beat made prominent by foot stomping, a steady bass or some other repeating element, unless it’s some freeform expressionist thing. Choral music, piano concertos etc. are mainly listening music.

but what about genres that are not particularly danceable like shoegaze or metal? I guess you could dance to those but not in a traditionally rhythmic way. I think the modern drum sound also has a lot to do with amplification of other instruments and the need to keep up with the loudness of everything. that and people’s taste for loud, unrelenting music. even genres like folk or country have had to get louder and more propulsive.

The loudness point is good, with amplified instruments and vocals you’d need loud drums to drive the beat through and it’s about people getting down on the dance floor.

As for danceability, if there’s a beat I’d say there’s opportunity to dance. I like music to be a physical experience. With age I’m becoming less concerned about how I look so I’ll do the magic box at a doom metal gig without giving a damn. I’d also say that headbanging, moshing etc. are forms of dance.

A nice seated ambient, noise or whatever show with no beat and just floating in your own mind is good stuff though.

I always imagined it went the other way around. The reason for amplification is not only to fill the space with sound, but also to be heard over the drums. Guitars, vocals and other instruments got louder as musical styles evolved, but drums have always been loud. Even if you just want to play rock music in a small room in your house, or maybe in your garage (givecigstosurfgroms  :-*), you need something pretty fucking loud if you want to play with a drummer.

You tell your landlord that your roommate smokes crack. Most leases, if not all, prohibit drug use and illegal activities.

Edit: I don’t advocate snitching, but that’s the easiest way. Hopefully, you don’t have kids. Personally, I would just find a new place and sublet the current one. If that isn’t an option, you can make her uncomfortable by walking around naked or smearing feces on the walls. Aside from the crack, what’s so bad that makes you want to get her evicted?

theres definitely something pleasing about analog media. i totally agree with the file vs. digital thing. it's not that it looks "better", but it has a charm that digital doesnt have.

I own vinyl  and tapes (next to spotify) and like film more than digital but sometimes i wonder, I mean, maybe its not that film or vinyl possesses a specific quality that digital does not (nostalgia), but maybe digital did not have the time to develop that feeling yet. And is that feeling (nostalgia) not a cheap trick to make you feel something (ie ' jobs? never!' (to keep it ''skate'' related)). idk. I just like filmgrain or ''bad'' quality in general, rooting for the underdog, or to keep things accesible.

Another thing I do like about analogue is that it allows you to fix things yourself instead of having to send it over to the factory for someone to reprogram some tiny chip

I think you just nailed it for visual stuff. What I like about film is the simplicity and the imperfection. With digital anything its so easy to over polish something and take all the life out of it.

I just wish film photography wasn't so damn expensive. I've got probably a dozen rolls of shot film that have been sitting for a few years because I don't want to spend the $100+ to get it developed.

I meant in a global sense. Otherwise, I would have singled out Trump. South America has been dealing with it for a while, but it seems to be getting worse. There seems to be a resurgence in parts of Europe, as well. I think the Middle East has been fucked, after years of American and Russian meddling.

The tax cuts were mainly for corporations, and most board members used the money to buy back company stocks, instead of creating jobs. There is no evidence that any of the tax cuts are significantly beneficial to the average person.

Why would someone cut taxes and create jobs? Any voter would want that, regardless of political affiliation. Guns probably won’t ever go anywhere, considering Congress would need to create a new amendment to nullify the 2nd amendment. That’s just fear mongering.

Fuck you for making me think about Trump.

My bad for the reminder. Do you live in the US? Two things I wanted to point out:
1. "Why would someone cut taxes and create jobs? Any voter would want that, regardless of political affiliation." About half of the US is all about raising taxes.
2. "Congress would need to create a new amendment to nullify the 2nd amendment"
A lot of members of the house have been pretty open about wanting to get rid of guns. Also, gun bans are currently in effect in some areas of the country regardless of the 2nd amendment, so it's really not a stretch.

Sprint's reception is so bad where I live that the closest sprint store is 4 hours away so I can't even complain in person if I'd like.
Then again I have unlimited everything full LTE for 63/mo out the door. So I'll suck a little bit of Sprint dick here and there to keep my plan.

If you have cricket wireless in your area, switch to that. It uses At&t's network which is a billion times more reliable than sprint. My wife and I each get 5gb of data a month and our bill is $70 for both lines. Only place I don't have service is really rural areas in the norther part of my state. The only catch is you need to bring your own phone, and it need to be an AT&T phone or one thats unlocked. They don't really do the leasing thing that most of the other carriers are doing.

How hard is it to just up and leave to another place.  I keep thinking if I have a couple grand in my savings, would up and leaving to a new place be insane or work out just fine?  I definitely don't think my wife's on board but we got no kids, jobs we dislike.  not a lot keeping us here.  Maybe I just need to take more small vacations or something but I can't stop thinking that the worst case scenario is that i'm a waiter in a crappy apartment until I get something else.  Not too bad

It's however hard finding a place to live in the new area is. My wife and I move every few years for probably the same reasons you're feeling and it really keeps life fresh and interesting. We don't have kids and aren't going to, and being able to do a total refresh whenever you feel you need one is a nice luxury. Your wife probably isn't on board because humans are still animals that feel like wherever they are is "home" and have a desire to stay there. Have a conversation with her and give her some stuff to think about. I couldn't imagine not relocating every so often. We've been in our current place for 5 years and that's the longest we've been anywhere.

You tell your landlord that your roommate smokes crack. Most leases, if not all, prohibit drug use and illegal activities.

Edit: I don’t advocate snitching, but that’s the easiest way. Hopefully, you don’t have kids. Personally, I would just find a new place and sublet the current one. If that isn’t an option, you can make her uncomfortable by walking around naked or smearing feces on the walls. Aside from the crack, what’s so bad that makes you want to get her evicted?

The main problem is that she's been stealing things from me and my other roommates. There's a lot of other things but that's the main one. I am probably going to have to sublet the place.

if you like GVF, thats totally fine, but both pitchfork and melon have valid points regarding their music. personally i find them to be nothing more than an imitation zeppelin, and id rather just listen to the real deal instead of the copycat version. the fact that they flat out deny their imitation and practically dance around any mention of zep in interviews and press only makes it worse.

i first heard GVF and i was hyped something that such a throwback was getting played on mainstream radio, went home, got the album and about 4 tracks in switched it out for Led Zeppelin 3.

Theyre like like the asda/walmart version of classic rock

like sure, I can get this basic tee in ASDA for £3 but i know i'm gonna wear it once and when it comes back from being washed its never gonna fit again. or I could go elsewhere, pay maybe £10/15 for a shirt that looks essentially the same but is infinitely better in quality and itll last longer than several imitations..

Post by: 8thproxy on October 30, 2018, 09:39:48 PM
I think ima make a zine or book or some shit of stuff I saved off the internet, just interesting wierd stuff, came across this today.
The Giants had tortured the Seneca for generation but still they prospered- the Cayuga band formed from the Seneca first and moved toward the coast. And then the Mohawk Oneida Onondaga bands formed and occupied the Adirondacks and up to Canada. The Deer People and Huron too were under the protection of the Mingwe Seneca and were brothers to the Iroquois- speaking the same language. The Iroquois long before the Haudenosaunee of Hiawatha lived as brothers but life was hard. The Mound builder "snake Indians" were constantly making slave raids on their villages forcing the people to move deeper and higher into the Mountains and toward the Coast.


One group of Seneca - their warrior Shaman cult decided to gather intelligence on the Mound builders. The Mound builders had a caste structured society- their soldiers were Giants compared to Seneca and war was a full time profession for the Giants. The warrior Shaman of the Seneca were "The keepers of the Western Door" Farmers-fishermen-deer hunters. The Seneca was the Father tribe of all the Iroquois tribes and so they resolved to face death and begin to confront the giants in the Ohio Valley near the borders of Ohio-Kentucky and West Virginia today. Their courage faltered after spying on the Mound Builders the Seneca warrior Shaman decided that it was just suicide to attack these warriors. The Mound builder warriors may be Gods they began to believe- or spirits- not human. They resolved to head back north and plan defense.

At this same time a people of great courage and spirit were traveling East from Michigan on a desperate Journey to save the last of their tribe. Their people had been enslaved by the mound Giants to mine copper and they had fought a great battle to escape their territory. These people called themselves "Lenape" and though they did not have the fierce cunning of the Seneca warrior Shaman of the smoke dance- they did have something very precious. These Lenape believed themselves to be "Human Beings" and chosen of the Sky Woman to teach how to be Human. The Lenape were very vulnerable when the Seneca Shaman found them but there numbers were large- and their warriors were very tall and robust. The Seneca contemplated trying to kill them all but they felt a feeling. The Lenape people seemed to know something- to have some strong medicine. As desperate as they were they were not living in fear.

One of the Seneca leaders met in Council with the Lenape and they learned they were great growers of crops and had valuable skills. The Seneca offered truce with them and offered to guide them to coast land unoccupied (Delaware). The Seneca then told them of the ruthless mound Giants that must be avoided in the Ohio Valley. The Seneca told the Lenape that these Giants were more than just men - that they were Sky Fathers quite possibly. As they had council and the Lenape asked many questions of the Giants the Seneca told them all they knew. Then a young Lenape boy named "Little Mud Wasp" spoke to ask a question.

"None of you have asked the right question" said Little Mud Wasp

"What is it you would like to know?" answered a Seneca Shaman

" Do they Bleed?"

There was no answer- the Shaman were set correct and then Little Mud Wasp continued.

"We will kill them then - we will fight bravely to help your people rid the land of these Giants." said Little Mud Wasp

" But how can we face them flint against Bronze?" said the Mingo Shaman?

" I have a plan. We will let their pride defeat them. I will set the Giants to chasing me - lead them into a box canyon or gully and you be waiting for them on the rise above"

The plan worked - little mud wasp was eventually captured and killed by the Giants. On that eventful day he cried from the Canyon " Do not cry for me! Remember my Death - remember we will defeat them - these Giant have no love for their Kin - only Copper and Gold." The Algonquin and Iriquois and later Cherokee all defeated the Mound builders - as they would gladly die for eachother. And this forever defined what is meant to be a " Human Being"- sacrifice for your kin.

And so that is how the Alliance of the Algonquian and Iroquois tribes began. From the Lenape would come many tribes including the Shawnee who would in later years inhabit the very Ohio Valley their ancestors once had to avoid. The alliance of Iroquois- Lenape and Cherokee eventually defeated the Mound Giants. But it is said that a very young half starved Lenape boy named Little Mud Wasp inspired the Seneca to stop retreating and engage the Mound builders at the Western door of the Ohio Valley. Even a child knows that Gods dont bleed. So the Seneca warrior Shaman found their courage and the bond between Iroquois and Algonquian was sealed forever in face of a common enemy.
Im Johnny Triplett part Cayuga Mingo from Kanawha County West Virginia- my Fathers before me as am I a keeper of the Western Door.Indians hate White people. But they have a special venomous kind of hate for a white guy with Indian anscestors that never signed treaties. Tucumseh The Panther in the Sky never signed treaties and died with a hatchet in his hand and Sky in the Water died with him. I am the gr gr gr gr gr grandson of Shikellamy Johnny Sky in the Water Scott. And yes he took the last name Scott to save his sons life. And yes I decided to tell the white snake Indians history of Western Door. Yes I am a very flawed man. But all my knife wounds are on the front of my body. I was born in Mingo County West Virginia the poorest most violent place in America so go ahead and judge me. Indian History and culture is dying because of their pride and stupidity. The tree shadows and stone Giants know my name. I keep the Western Door not because of blood but because of heart and soul. The Land loves those that know and love the land.I am one of them. Look at my last name. My Family founded Alexandria and Freemasonry. Ever see a guy wearing a ring with two balls and a cane? Tubalcain. My y chromosome is Ev13 - the true founders of Freemasonry are all y chromosome Ev13. Its the line of Nimrod. Roman soldiers. We do not think we are descended from Giants but Nimrod who was half Denisovan and the founders of Agriculture; building and War. I am also part Boswell Gypsy. There is not 1 man named Bush at the signing of Magna Carta; The Declaration of Arbroath; Valley Forge. Not 1! There were 167 Tripletts; 200 Wrights; about 100 Hatfields; a hundred or so Wallace family. These people you think hold the illuminatti tradition are pretenders. The true illuminatti are descended from Roman Soldiers and Cathedral builders.

I really don’t like supporting conspiracy, “theorists,” but I really like Theories of Atlantis shit. While I find a lot of it to be comedic, some people take that shit too seriously. Some drunk guy stopped me outside a bar to talk to me about the New World Order because I had that Terps board with the frog or some shit on it. Then, he kept looking at me from weird angles like Larry David after asking me if I was a lizard person. I don’t know if it was a troll, but it was fucking weird.

depends if they are sefl appointed or not. Giving yourself a nickname is whack as fuck, but if your crew decides your getting some random ass name theres not much you can do about it, Im guessing thats whats happened and eventually they just leant into it.

I also wonder how they all have time to even care about ig posts . When I was 19 i was to busy hanging out and working to give shit about anything else.

  When do they Diss people in social media though?  It's always someone hating on them.  That nollie flip mannolo post was just fucking stupid.  I don't support fa or supreme but I'm not hating on the riders (I guess I hate the window puncher guy.)

I’m not sure I follow any of the supreme dudes on if maybe Strobeck . I have no problem with supreme I remember when the opened and i went there all the time cause it was good skate shop . Oh so I mean to say I don’t keep up if they diss someone unless it gets posted here . That’s that only way I knew about the Manolos tape and I know a few people that got denied trying to skate the bowl in LA to which I was like it’s like to pretend you wouldn’t be judgemental as well . I have a curb spot I skate and believe you me I wish I could tell some people to kick rocks but I don’t own it . Yeah the post was dumb or just was board and was hoping for the arguments to ensue

What's been the Thread of the Year? For me it's probably a tossup between "Rockin Ron's Bearings Back in Business", and that creepy threesome thread.

The original Jason Jessee thread that Gentle Jones started. It's actually been a crazy year on the forum.

pretty much everything from ikea and apple is made in china but people gobble it up because of the branding. I wonder if they would like it as much if it were sold in a chinese-looking store. you could argue these companies design and vet the stuff so it’s different. the quality can be inconsistent yet I also had an iPhone 4 that lasted me about eight years and it would have kept going if I didn’t finally upgrade. there’s a lot of geopolitics involved in the “made in china” hostility and it flares up depending on the context.

[Adopts Evan Smith persona]Time is like not even there man it’s like a thousand points of light all going at the speed of light but then you go faster than the speed of light and you look back and those points of light aren’t even there man because they DONT EXIST YET in your reality because you are actually making a parallel universe every time you make a decision and then each parallel universe where every decision you ever made is playing out AT THE SAME TIME.  In some realities it’s dinosaurs that are the ones that never died and now they developed laser guns and the dinosaurs are actually literally fighting each other RIGHT NOW with laser guns but don’t worry you won’t get hit by a stray laser beam because laser beams can’t cross dimensions and we just couldnt even see it yet because remember we are going faster than light.   And if you think about it, if you stepped on an ant, that ant might have made like a frog jump across the highway and eat that ant and you never know man... maybe it was Hitler driving that car that you made swerve to avoid hitting that frog on the highway and then crashed into like a tree and died and you just saved 6 million Jews from the horrors of the Holocaust because you stepped on that ant you know?  People never think about stuff like that but I do when I sleep in my tent in the middle of New York City for no reason just to think about what it would like to be homeless.[/Evan Smith persona]

  Measurement.  Its kinda society too.
Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: SHIREFLIP on December 09, 2018, 06:57:03 AM
No, I get that. I believe I misspoke. I understand the concept of time as a frame of reference, or a unit of measurement. I mean more like, if we get a Thorium clock that measures time as a function of the probability of atoms decaying over time - I understand that if I interact with it, I might affect its measurements because I am a warm body. But what I'm wondering is why something like changing the position of the clock over time can affect its measurements.

It's also entirely possible I'm too high for the morning, and I don't understand anything at all.

Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: givecigstosurfgroms on December 09, 2018, 07:23:16 AM
I'd say that the reason the clocks measurements are affected is cause nothing that exists is isolated from anything truly.  If you're in a room with a clock there's communication.   We project very strongly toward clocks.  Seeing what time it is and shitting ur pants cause you're late is alot of energy projecting and all the events like this ingrain deeper our relationship with clocks. We breathe the life into the clock/time phenomenon I feel as individuals and as a society and because they're alive in that sense they are even more receptive I'd say. (Edit but of course at the end of the day we are owned by the clocks.  Our need to be controlled and compartmentalised, 'time' fullfills completely, a horrifying invention .)

He just said  he was being asked about a Sunday skate a week in advance down to the hour.  Asking that of someone is not "adult" and him saying "fuck that" doesn't make him deserved of the "manchild" moniker Imo.

so because i dont’t want to make a set time to skate on my day off a week in advance makes me a manchild ? thats fine , and also yer right he got married so hes got that ol’ ball & chain i decided not have . Also he has 3 days off do get his responsibilities accomplished . 10 is more resonable of a time. im sorry yer emo feeling got hurt . go punch yer self in the dick and focus yer deck. love grown ass manchild .  :-*

We breathe the life into the clock/time phenomenon I feel as individuals and as a society and because they're alive in that sense they are even more receptive I'd say. (Edit but of course at the end of the day we are owned by the clocks.  Our need to be controlled and compartmentalised, 'time' fullfills completely, a horrifying invention .)

yea hthats nice and all but when youre an actual adult with responsibilities and other shit going on its just not an option. im with your buddy. if i say im skating a5 10 and homie doesnt show up till 12, ill have gotten my 2 hours in and be getting ready to go on to the next thing i have to do that day.

must be nice to be an eternal manchild though. i miss those days

So on that note when it’s the weekend I like to do whatever whenever and not be so concerned with time and making plans . I have a friend that I used to skate with that needs to make plans a week in anvance to skate on Sunday . Let’s just wake up and see how the days goes , maybe we’ll meet up @ 9 maybe 11. He told me he has To have his days off planned like a work day . I’m all yeah fuck that noise

He just said  he was being asked about a Sunday skate a week in advance down to the hour.  Asking that of someone is not "adult" and him saying "fuck that" doesn't make him deserved of the "manchild" moniker Imo.
'I like to do whatever whenever and not be so concerned with time and making plans'
that sentence is what garnered the manchild comment, maybe i was over reacting  i dunno. I really dont see pre planning a skate a week in advance as \nyhtn other than a dude with a busy life tryin to make sure he gets some time to roll with his buddies, if youre free enough to not have to go to those lengths then good for you. some of us need to. now if youll excuse me i gott ago punch my
self in the dick for some reason...

Ha!

really what I should’ve said is that I’ve been skating for a really long time and the one of the best things is meeting people meeting new friends through skating without knowing them prior so when it comes to the weekends I don’t want to look at my phone I don’t want to text people to make plans I just want to go fucking skate and unfortunately my friend wants to make plans and that was the beauty of when I moved across the country that I didn’t know anybody and then I would go skate these curbs  and I made a whole bunch of friends and now we have to sit there and be like what time are you going to be there w I’ll be there this time it’s fucking annoying just go fucking skate. i would just like to pretend i have little freedom and an inner kid that likes to just live life .

Why do people say "I could care less" when that doesn't make sense when trying to explain about not caring about something. That implies that you care a little and have room to care less. It should be "I couldn't care less" meaning I couldn't give any more fucks about this.

Why are adjectives almost always in the following order quantity, quality, size, age, shape, color, purpose. Why can't I say " useless, big, three, bad men" instead of "three useless, big, bad men" It's not even a formal rule we acknowledge it just is a natural flow that sounds better to everyone.

If an alien civilization had the means to discover us on earth and then somehow travel the unimaginably vast distance to come visit us, they would ipso facto cruise right past us to somewhere more interesting.

It would be like if you stopped and investigated every ant hill you passed while walking down the street.  Of course no one does that, because who the fuck cares about an ant hill, we’ve got shit to do.

So no way would they waste time beaming us up and probing our rectums or making crop circles or mutilating our cows... they’ve got a fucking Dyson sphere to build in the Crab Nebula.  And if they have the capacity to do all that other shit, I’m pretty sure they could deduce all they’d ever need to know about our precious rectums without actually beaming us on board for the full exam.  You feel me?

Fred gall obvious answer. In reality Rick Howard seems like he would be fun to watch skate in Disney just based on his enjoyment factor.

Making a thread about regulating the local. There’s a crew that claim full local status and some even have tattoos repping the spot, but there’s a snake who comes on the regular too. They let him slide and play chums with him, unless he’s not around then they talk mad shit behind his back.
He crashed into me one time and I lost my shit and threw his board over the fence into the creek. This is after pulling him aside a bunch of times for quiet words that eventually became louder and more direct, straight telling him to fuck off home, but to avail.
(We’re all drown men mind you - mid 20’s up towards 50.)
I just can’t respect any of them and it ruins the skate for me. Waiting forever for the snake to finish his run again chews up a bunch of time and then I’m pissed off and don’t enjoy the skate.

I guess my ponderence is whether a full crew claiming local status should regulate kooks out, or if I’m a fuckwit for feeling entitled enough to call someone out for not sharing properly?

Typing this out seems to have let off a bit of steam anyway.

Observations: Dogs can wait around for hours looking totally normal and take a huge dump the instant they get outside. Also, many dogs are afraid of their farts - the fart's manifestation is a surprise.

Hypothesis:A dog's need to poop and fart is more subconscious and less stressful than how it is perceived in humans.

Experiment: Feed dogs and humans a very typical diet, proportional to their weight, and let them chill in the living room. Install a continuous IV blood hormone sensor (CIVBHS) into all of them and log their hormone levels throughout the day. Set up methane sensors throughout the room that can detect farts and record their volume. Pooping times will be allotted based on the typical digestion period of each participant, but in general, everyone's gonna wait longer to poop than they want. Farts are ok whenever though. Quantify results.........

Looking for grant money. Let me know if you have any connections.

Your ideas are fresh, your observations are sharp and your reasoning is sound.

Someone told me that there’s a big difference between our digestive system which is oriented vertically and dogs, which is oriented horizontally.  It may be another piece of the puzzle.


Something I pondered today is the fact that AARP is committing mental warfare on the public by automatically sending an AARP welcome letter to everyone when they turn 50. 

It’s bad enough getting old without these fuckers rubbing your face in it by mailing you an unsolicited letter which might as well say “YOU ARE OLD” in huge letters.  Just who the fuck do they think they are?

  They shouldnt take Bowies shit of there but im bummed at these double standards.  All R Kellys shit got taken down of there cause of the underage girl accusations.  Reminds me of when a snoop song was on the hitparade the same time tom pettys hit was poppin and they bleep out snoops cannibis reference but tom pettys didnt get touched.  Sad really.
  Its really this thing where one is supposed to be high art and the hood shit  cannot possibly be thought of as such.  Good example is Roman Pollanski getting a pass.

I nuked Facebook probably about 3 years ago or so, last weekend made an acc solely to contact one person. Didn't put any information about location employment etc, only shit on there is my name and a profile picture. Didn't link it to phone contacts/insta, location services disabled etc. Lo and behold I start getting friend requests from people I'm friendly with in my area, then people who skate and then finally one from someone I only know through the internet (that person being silhouette who posts here) - how the fuck does this shit happen? I know fb has always got a lot of flack for it's "privacy" settings but for fuck sake there's even a guy in "people you may know" who I only know through Discord/Steam and he nuked most of his online presence a good 6/7 months back so how the fuck is he there?

i know what you mean, not to sound like that guy but i only get like "so high" after smoking like hash or oil or doing a dab which i almost never do because that shit gets me couch stuck and is too expensive. i keep saying ill stop for a while and lower that tolerance.

I can't understand how so many people missed the point. Whatever way you look at it though, I think they knew it would ruffle feathers and go viral, thus putting their brand in front of everyones face. Kinda the same idea as Nike's commercial with Kaepernick a while back. Regardless of the message, it's still advertising for their razors.

I've always enjoyed my old fashioned single blade razor, and the blades cost mere pennies. A company trying to virtue signal their wokeness is nothing new.

thanks for bringing this one up seymour.

what i don't get is that Gillette is a brand that's been making money off objectifying men for decades and painting this picture of what a man supposed to look like. which is a fucked up thing to do in itself because it creates an unreal expectation for both men and women. so i would go so far to argue that brands like this are partly responsible for perpetuating these ideas of masculinity that people are so triggered about.  now all of a sudden they've gone righteous like they have some kind of moral authority. almost like they're saying... we think we've been marketing our products to misogynists... and we're sorry.

anyways i agree with the message but it's just platitudes (men should treat women with respect...duh!). the delivery was terrible and Gillette has no place in my opinion

self-improvement. progression. the "bucket list." lifelong learning. materialism has been replaced by collecting experiences in a lot of first world countries. people seem to think that they are infinitely working toward something, so they read a lot, travel the world, meet lots of people and experience as many things as possible. what is the end goal of all this? when you reach a certain age, will you transform into a magical being because of all these things and achieve immortality or become the most interesting man or woman in the world or something like that? constantly learning and experiencing new things are definitely good but doing this stuff will most likely not bring about the results a lot of people imagine. you're still going to get old and die and most likely you won't become a wizard or sorceress or the guy from the dos equis commercials or experience nirvana. this is definitely not meant to be negative or discourage people or sound too preachy - I just wonder if people are aware of this.

Personally, I think the goal of doing the things you mentioned, and pretty much anything I do in my spare time is just to have fun. I know I'm going to die and pretty much everything I do and experience doesn't matter, but that doesn't  mean that my enjoyment of those moments isn't enough to justify seeking them out. You can either do nothing in your spare time, or do something that you enjoy, so why not do the latter?

And Nopes, I'm pretty sure it's ingrained into our species to seek out companionship. It's how we survive. You don't need validation of your experiences from anyone, but it's perfectly natural to wish you had a buddy along to share the fun.

In the end, sure, nothing matters. What I don't understand is why people have such a hard time embracing this. It's kinda freeing.

I knew a girl who broke up with a guy because they were going to get down to it, and he was like "no no no hold on don't touch me" and it turned out he had the clip from a pen cap in his pee hole. She was like "what's your deal" and he had to confess and she was like "l8r". He just loved jamming shit in there and couldn't leave the house without having something in there. Put a pen cap clip in his dick before a date, that's how much he liked it. He'd probably be down to try the golf tee if his dick isn't 100% scar tissue yet.

There was a vid around the dawn of horrific internet vids  2 girls 1 cup mr hands etc of a girl inserting a small vibrator into a mans eurethra. It was tapered though and got thicker towards the top and she kept slowly inserting it deeper until finally his dick split down the sides and peeled down around the vibrator like a banana. Anyways happy MLK day, friends.

Took a while to find the actual law that NY just passed regarding abortion. Here it is: https://www.news10.com/news/local-news/full-text-read-the-full-text-of-the-reproductive-heath-act/1718439748

The heart of the law:

"A HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONER LICENSED, CERTIFIED, OR AUTHORIZED UNDER TITLE EIGHT OF THE EDUCATION LAW, ACTING WITHIN HIS OR HER LAWFUL SCOPE OF PRACTICE, MAY PERFORM AN ABORTION WHEN, ACCORDING TO THE PRACTITIONER'S REASONABLE AND GOOD FAITH PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT BASED ON THE FACTS OF THE PATIENT'S CASE: THE PATIENT IS WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF PREGNANCY, OR THERE IS AN ABSENCE OF FETAL VIABILITY, OR THE ABORTION IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE PATIENT'S LIFE OR HEALTH."

I've been pondering it a lot.

I am wondering what the standard is for "protecting health". Technically, every birth affects the health of the mother, physically and psychologically. Most mothers would agree that giving birth is the most excruciating pain you could experience, so pretty much any abortion at any time seems like it could meet the standard of a health risk.

Just curious about where they draw the line, because if you leave the interpretation up to private medical professionals, it's no holds barred, like a medical marijuana card or pain killers.

Honestly just curious. I like to read legislation rather than having it interpreted to me, but I'm not clear on this one.

My mother had a late term abortion to my would-be brother. It was due to health risks. I've talked to her a lot about it. I totally understand the circumstances that led to that decision and the need to have the option available.

Fuck all you for getting on my case about this. I'm just wondering what the law means.

why politically incorrect people rarely say offensive things about military veterans, the recently bereaved, religious people, children, politicians they support, etc. they’re fixated on offending women, people of color, gays and other nonmainstream groups. could it be because their main concern is not free speech but putting people in their place?

Is homer laughing and saying yes because he’s thinking of a memory of a guy saying goodbye to a shoe or is it because he just saw a guy say goodbye to a shoe?

if he would be asked again, years later,
and he would react with the same chuckle,
would he think about that 1st time he saw someone say goodbye to his shoe,
or the second time where he was asked that same question

is the chuckle bound the the 1st time or does it move up one memory everytime he is asked?

I had to learn to be sober all the time when i moved out of the city- didnt realise how much i drank till i had to drive everywhere..
once you get used to ordering soft drinks at social events life is pretty much exactly the same except without hangovers.. but id reccomend finding a hobby - i got into woodturning, i suck at it but its a fun way to kill a couple hours

If someone is a really great criminal, but doesn’t want to ride a motorcycle, what percentage of outlaw biker gangs would let him in anyway?  Or is it a total deal breaker?

And what’s up with them being the most conspicuous criminals ever?  They ride around in big packs on loud -ass motorcycles, and they have patches all on their jackets clearly advertising that the are in a gang.

Do they want to get caught?  Get your fucking shit together, motorcycle gangs.

Most gangs, across the criminal spectrum,  are conspicuous, think about it. Plus most clubs sell merch as a way to claim being legitimate businesses, along with security service. Outward facing regalia is like advertisement.

Well I would say that I am over Reals graphics for sure but it’s nothing to with shapes or quality.
Almost every pro without a board sponsor rides real and AH but I just want to see other brands thriving again.
Like imo it would be cool is lots of free agents just rode girl and chocolate or dwindle  because they just like what they are doing.
But of course Crail isn’t known for being consistently good quality like dlx.
And I know I’m just trading one big company for another but idk. It’s really just one of the many shitty skate related options I personally have.
I have a friend who skates lots of Reals and I don’t talk shit about it to him or anything, or a friend who really likes Nike SB, I support people liking whatever they like.

Skateboarding is just such a hugely personal thing to me (most of us) so I just don’t want to be having the same stuff as everyone.
Except when it comes to my own brand lol, fuck yeah I’m down when there’s a bunch of us wearing the same Allergies shirts at the park haha.

I wonder what it’s like to know you are supposed to die but don’t? My partner has a rare cancer and they were supposed to have died several years ago. There were three occurrences where it almost happened but a couple of years ago a clinical trial stabilized the disease.

Other than getting chemo every three weeks we have lived a pretty normal life these past four years but the disease still looms over us. We have no idea how long it will keep working. It’s been ten years total since this started and until recently I felt like I was always preparing for the end.

I read today that Ryan Adams just caught a bunch of allegations of abuse toward young female musicians. I don't care for the guys music and everything I've ever read about him makes him sound like a total asshole, so I'm not really surprised. Things like this come out more and more these days, which I believe is a good thing. It's well known and documented that men in entertainment have been abusing women and getting away with it because of their fame and power for decades, and it's not fair. The thing that I'm pondering is if we treat these new entertainers who get caught like pieces of scum (I think it's fair), why do we have such a hard time doing the same to the guys who pulled similar shit back in the day and got away with it. I'm personally guilty of this, as I've stopped listening to some current bands (Crystal Castles, The Orwells) after they got slammed for shit behavior, but I still love the Stones, Bowie, Iggy, Zeppelin and probably dozens of other bands who got away shit in the 60's, 70's and 80's. I don't know why, but I happily look the other way when I listen to their music and I'm not ready to give it up over some shit they did before I was born. I kinda feel like a hypocrite, and maybe I am because I can't really justify not supporting current artists with sexual and abusive allegations against them, but continuing to support ones from the past only on the basis that I like their music and the things they did happened a long time ago. I'd like to believe they've changed for the better, as I believe people deserve forgiveness, but I have no way of knowing anything about their personal lives.

Just wondering what you guys think. I tried talking about this on reddit, but apparently everyone there is a saint and doesn't listen to anyone who's ever done anything bad in their life. I've put links below for reference on Ryan Adams and all the old dudes who pulled similar shit in their time.

Well that was a fuckin doozy.

And I'm not sure what you're referring to about the older generation generation bowing down to shit head kids, but lets just continue down this lane of musician and entertainers. The way I see it, the older generation ran some things in a shitty way and are finally getting called out on their bullshit, i.e. new musicians getting caught for sexual misconduct while it was all good 30, 40, 50 years ago. Theres a difference in not respecting the past and realizing that the social norms of the past were shit and doing something to change them for the better.

If you want to keep supporting Ryan Adams, go ahead, but you're not getting your pre-order. They've been canceled. All companies that endorsed him or sold his signature products have cut ties as well.
https://twitter.com/BullMooseVinyl/status/1096204174470139904

I bought this up because I feel morally at odds with myself. Any form of sexual misconduct should be intolerable and that shouldn't be looked at as a new generation idea. It should be respected as form of human decency. You can't change the past, only try to do a better job in the future. I grew up listening to Bowie and The Stones and Zep and all that shit my dad played, and never once did anyone tell me that those guys did shitty things in their personal lives. I agree with you that their music is part of my life, its part of who I am, and I definitely feel like I can't turn my back on it at this point. I feel kinda shitty about it, but moving forward I'm not going to support or apologize for anyone who gets caught pulling the kinds of shit people like Ryan Adams just got caught for.

I grew up listening to Bowie and The Stones and Zep and all that shit my dad played, and never once did anyone tell me that those guys did shitty things in their personal lives. I agree with you that their music is part of my life, its part of who I am, and I definitely feel like I can't turn my back on it at this point. I feel kinda shitty about it, but moving forward I'm not going to support or apologize for anyone who gets caught pulling the kinds of shit people like Ryan Adams just got caught for.
  So you cant turn your back on Bowie or L Zep but other than those 2, from here on in, nobody else.  Especially shit people like Ryan Adams.  Good then.

Arizona is beautiful, and I'm happy to have spent my early to late teen years there. I will always support Cowtown, Freedom, and Sidewalk Surfer. I have nothing negative to say about it. I do think everyone thinks we give each other a little pat on the butt instead of high 5'ing though. Which is true, but it's more cute, rather than an aggressive football butt slap.


My cats were meowing at each other today for a solid 15 minutes, I wondered if they can understand each other or if they were just making noises.

I read today that Ryan Adams just caught a bunch of allegations of abuse toward young female musicians. I don't care for the guys music and everything I've ever read about him makes him sound like a total asshole, so I'm not really surprised. Things like this come out more and more these days, which I believe is a good thing. It's well known and documented that men in entertainment have been abusing women and getting away with it because of their fame and power for decades, and it's not fair. The thing that I'm pondering is if we treat these new entertainers who get caught like pieces of scum (I think it's fair), why do we have such a hard time doing the same to the guys who pulled similar shit back in the day and got away with it. I'm personally guilty of this, as I've stopped listening to some current bands (Crystal Castles, The Orwells) after they got slammed for shit behavior, but I still love the Stones, Bowie, Iggy, Zeppelin and probably dozens of other bands who got away shit in the 60's, 70's and 80's. I don't know why, but I happily look the other way when I listen to their music and I'm not ready to give it up over some shit they did before I was born. I kinda feel like a hypocrite, and maybe I am because I can't really justify not supporting current artists with sexual and abusive allegations against them, but continuing to support ones from the past only on the basis that I like their music and the things they did happened a long time ago. I'd like to believe they've changed for the better, as I believe people deserve forgiveness, but I have no way of knowing anything about their personal lives.

Just wondering what you guys think. I tried talking about this on reddit, but apparently everyone there is a saint and doesn't listen to anyone who's ever done anything bad in their life. I've put links below for reference on Ryan Adams and all the old dudes who pulled similar shit in their time.

men in general have been able to get away with a lot of shit for most of human history. and male artists were able to get away with even more than the average man because they were looked at as geniuses. carlo gesualdo killed his wife and her lover and people to this day still listen to his compositions. a big part of society protected artists from moral criticism. you were allowed to “separate the art from the artist” because art was sacred and magical. it was only when they did something clearly illegal that they got in trouble and often the punishment was light. but this is where a racial component comes in. artists of color, such as chuck berry, seemed to get ostracized immediately for transgressions whereas someone like john lennon is continually excused. lately there is a change happening in the way people view artists and what people are willing to let them get away with. so to make it as an artist you have to not only create good art but also meet certain moral standards or you will be shunned. I think it has a lot to do with people viewing artists and art with less reverence than in the past and changing social standards. artists of the past should be looked at more carefully and with less idol worship, while keeping in mind the historical context of their time, and artists present and future should be held to current standards because it is bullshit that someone can get away with what others can’t just because they’re talented or skilled.

I didn’t say the seriousness or nature of whatever they did changed but what people are willing to let them get away with did. nowadays being an artist is becoming less of an excuse for being an asshole. people are realizing artistic talent or ability is not as special and rare as once thought. turns out lots of people can be pretty good artists if they have the right resources and get the right training. same thing happened in skateboarding. I blame the romantic era for putting artists on a pedestal to an unprecedented level. look at asshats like richard wagner who had a god complex even though his output was questionably good and relied on operatic gimmicks. but people worship him because they bought the hype.

   Why skiing is way better. 
  Skiers are way more fluid in the backcountry.   Proven time and again.  You can move both feet, like skating.  Skating is compleatly superior to both.  Unless your more into all the scenery moutains provide.   I'll take a good underground parking lot skate sesh over a 60 cm pow day snowboarding.  Those bindingless pow boards tho, i do wanna try one of those.

Why snowboardings the best.

Being on the mountain looking out over a range of other mountains. Bombing the hill, hitting side jumps, getting butters. Piecing together a bunch of different styles of snowboarding in one run.

Nothing beats it

i know youre trolling but snowboarding is a joke, shit is so easy even a caveman could do it and the slang/culture around it is pretty much any pauly shore movie from the 90's.

so what im getting at is, even brendan fraser could do it if he felt like wasting money on gear and a lift ticket.

so when youre out there ripping the freshie cord/groomed trails lean back and do a butter for the weasel.

Snowboarding is fun but, you need snow,hill,boots,board possibly 4x4 to get you where your goin goggles all the shit then you pay 100$ fuckin dollars to ride or like 2k for a season pass or some shit. Even just putting on all the gear pisses me off and takes forever. I do love the speed though.

how it's easy to imagine what someone would look like if they were another gender. it makes pretty much everyone not hot at all. like I could easily imagine what a woman would look like if she were a dude or vice versa. this also has to do with my getting older and more asexual. sex is kinda disgusting and people's faces and bodies are too. I don't care how hot the person is. they shit and fart and their buttholes get stinky from dried-up shit and sweat and intestinal gas leaking out. and their dicks and vaginas and tits and asses are gross too. fuck humans. we're just ugly ass apes with less hair but a lot of us really like the way we look to the point of narcissism. what the fuck is that all about? when people are really into themselves, it makes them even uglier than they already are. humans are grotesque. despite what people have told you, you're not beautiful, even if you are. you're just biologically programmed to like yourself and be attracted to your own species.

what's up with that?
2 reasons. Skaters who are crazy about the right gear have the mindset saying that they can only perform good on ___. The second reason is they spend more time talking, discussing, buying, and adjusting the gear to the perfect rather than actually skating.

If you think friendship is overrated, then you’re not actually talking about true friendship. Skate homies, Drinking buddies are overrated. Work buddies are overrated. People who call you to hang out, but won’t show up when you need someone to move a fridge are overrated. People who you don’t feel comfortable talking about your marital troubles or the anxiety you feel from aging are overrated.

A true friend is someone who you can trust and depend on. Someone who would go out of their way to help you and expect nothing in return.

Those true friends are very few and far between, but if you find one and nurture the relationship, it can be a pillar in your life. I’m lucky to have a wife/friend like this.

It has been over 10+ years since having a close homie I guess life just gets in the way, ah who needs them anyways...

Those true friends are very few and far between, but if you find one and nurture the relationship, it can be a pillar in your life. I’m lucky to have a wife/friend like this.

It has been over 10+ years since having a close homie I guess life just gets in the way, ah who needs them anyways...

If you think friendship is overrated, then you’re not actually talking about true friendship. Skate homies, Drinking buddies are overrated. Work buddies are overrated. People who call you to hang out, but won’t show up when you need someone to move a fridge are overrated. People who you don’t feel comfortable talking about your marital troubles or the anxiety you feel from aging are overrated.
  Also what about friends who ask you to move fuckin fridges?

  Over rated.  Not saying its bad tho.  I have friends for 30 years now and they re pains in the ass.  One and a half of them are worth it.  I have better friends here in europe ive known for a year.  Can be different for different personalities tho.  Im a loner with lots of friends (or 'friends' if ur feelin cynical)

A random angry citizen has the ability to kick someone out of a spot and alter a potential historic trick in skateboarding. I don't think there's many other sports or groups that can have their history books be affected by some obscure individual.

Electronic drumsets seem a bit more affordable now than they were a few years back. Drums were the only instrument I truly enjoyed despite only having a set available to me for half a year, but within that short time span I managed to learn a handful of songs which I failed to do when I attempted learning the guitar. I'm tempted to finally buy myself a set and get back into it.

kid years ago and they sounded really good . the thing was is when i played them through garage band the snare was the bass drum & the high hat was the floor tom and i couldn’t figure out how to reprogram the kit .

It’s hilariously dumb how emotionally invested I am in skateboarding.  Like a few weeks ago I got a clip I really liked on my birthday (3 trick line, and one of those lines where you last minute deviate from the plan, go for glory and throw a harder trick instead and land it), and my mood can float off that for like 2 weeks.

Yesterday I’m skating knowing full well this spot doesn’t usually work out for long and that I’m probably due for an L anyway. No surprise I didn’t get my trick the way I wanted but still let it put me in a bad mood for the day  ::)

first of all i had no idea andy milinokas was 43 :o

brengar was/is a filmer, who filmed most of pappalardo's fully flared part. someone told me recently he started filming again.

his brother is paul gar who is also a filmer/photographer. he recently filmed eli reed's part.

If you're familiar with Twitch, he streams all the time. Sometimes he plays video games, but a lot of the times he's just filming himself walk around LA or while he's traveling. He's been filming a lot in Japan recently. Sometimes he can be pretty funny and gets into some random situations.

caffeine doesn’t increase your energy or alertness it just redistributes it. most people consume it so their most productive hours of the day are during work and then they crash and burn just in time for their life outside of work, unless you consume it all day, every day, in which case you’re slowly destroying yourself like a meth user on a very long-term scale. caffeine increases anxiety because it causes releases of adrenaline and cortisol. you’re putting yourself in a state of stress and hypervigilance so you can be a good little worker bee or office monkey. I’ve been reducing my morning coffee quantity and getting headaches from it. I’m gonna eventually only drink one small cup of weak coffee a day and maybe even quit but it does have some health benefits so I’m thinking about it. I wanna use my energy more consistently and save some of it for more important shit like skating and reading at home. this may sound crazy but I think caffeine exacerbates a lot of conditions like teeth grinding and even contributes to road rage. think about people driving around all amped up on caffeine with adrenaline and cortisol pumping through their bodies. ridiculous how it’s been marketed to us. people gotta have their comfy cup of joe or their refreshing “energy” drink. fuck caffeine.

caffeine doesn’t increase your energy or alertness it just redistributes it. most people consume it so their most productive hours of the day are during work and then they crash and burn just in time for their life outside of work, unless you consume it all day, every day, in which case you’re slowly destroying yourself like a meth user on a very long-term scale. caffeine increases anxiety because it causes releases of adrenaline and cortisol. you’re putting yourself in a state of stress and hypervigilance so you can be a good little worker bee or office monkey. I’ve been reducing my morning coffee quantity and getting headaches from it. I’m gonna eventually only drink one small cup of weak coffee a day and maybe even quit but it does have some health benefits so I’m thinking about it. I wanna use my energy more consistently and save some of it for more important shit like skating and reading at home. this may sound crazy but I think caffeine exacerbates a lot of conditions like teeth grinding and even contributes to road rage. think about people driving around all amped up on caffeine with adrenaline and cortisol pumping through their bodies. ridiculous how it’s been marketed to us. people gotta have their comfy cup of joe or their refreshing “energy” drink. fuck caffeine.

I stopped drinking caffeine about 3 years ago. I used to drink Red Bull, Monster, coffee, Coke, Pepsi, etc... all the time, and I just decided one day that I wasn't going to do it anymore. I still drink iced tea, but the amount of caffeine is not noticeable.

I basically only drink water and iced tea now, and I've never felt healthier.

Then when I came home I pondered: is filming yourself for kooks? Am I a kook?

nah man, there is nothing kooky about that at all. i can see why you might feel insecure about it since i probably would feel the same at first. but i think that's pretty dope that you can stay motivated and progress a healthy rate skating solo i guess. the social experience of either trying to film a proper street trick or just taking turns shooting some friends with a homiecam has always been a big part of the allure & excitement of skating to me, though.

Sweeping statements will always be incorrect.

The youth is raised in a shut up, sit down environment with computers in their hands. It's an environment that has been growing for years, at an all time high each year..

Do goth kids wear normal socks and underwear under all their black capes and combat boots or are there goth socks and underwear companies?  If not, they should make one called Fruit of the Doom.

You'd mostly never know it because the spooky underwear always gets worn on date nights. It's usually laundry day when the tighty whities and the teal socks get worn.

Two nematodes in a lover’s embrace?

Made me look up nematodes, thank you sir. I learned a new word today.

I think it’s a yellow smiley face and its skull.

That makes sense. It's still such an eyesore. Othelo Gervacio has much better work that he could've used.

It's quite obviously the Gonz's rendition of the moon in Majora's Mask that he drew for them on an envelope, then texted.

Makes me wonder if Gonz likes video games. Or if he even knows what they are.

Today I was working and finished my lunch, I get off my lunch break and go see my manager, she notices my shirt is dirty from working and tells me to change. I go and change and I’m the middle of changing another person walks in with my shirt off. They stare at me and I stare at them back. They close the door and I finish changing. I apologize for not locking the door and put on my apron and start talking to some co workers when putting it on. Just when I was about to put on my hat my manager pops out and tells me to leave work for the day and gives me a written warning. Before this I always felt like she had it out for me. She’d always put me on the shitty jobs and stick me on a position she’d never have to deal with me in. I’ve tried to be nice to her but she’s always kinda harsh and stern and she’s always nice to everyone else. Is it my fault?

How old are you ? I was always super tall and skinny. About 32 it all started sticking more when I could eat and drink whatever with no gain before.

In my 20s I was 186cm and 75kg when I was hitting the gym, from memory 68kg before .  In my ealry 30’s I was doing fuck all exercise due to a screwed together tibia and it was bam ! got up to like 97kg at one point. Not doing anything I never did before. Just got a point where my body didnt process as fast and it added up.

Now I’m 45 and hit the gym for weights few times a week  and try to skate a bit ,be active generally and sit at 86 to 88 depending how many beers I’ve had that week.

So for me , an ex super skinny dude , age made allot of difference. But I’m lucky. I still have those skinny points. I still eat and drink whatever I want. But with some gym work I can stay in a pretty good space.

I was always skinny as fuck no matter what i ate. I joined a gym and started lifting a couple times a week, I have a protein shake every morning and I have gained a good 5-10kg since January.

Do Not get an 'extreme gainer' blend of protein powder though, I tried that and i only gained size around the waist line and as soon as i rean out of the stuff it fell off right away.. pure water weight. total waste of time & money

It's a common theme amongst my generation to wish for an apocalypse. I know people have joked about this in pop culture for a long time, or toyed with the idea of humankind deserving some sort of rinse. But nowadays, it's grown and intertwined in such a casual way with young people. "Ughhh honestly I'm so ready for the apocalypse", or "I for one welcome the coming apocalypse" or "humanity is so fucked honestly". I'm tired of people arguing we should throw in the towel from a place of contrived ignorance. I don't think humanity is so bad. I don't only acknowledge negative things, I don't look around me at people suffering immense pain or hardships in so many different ways and think, "yep, we need more pain. We need ultimate pain, to solve my own angst. "

The hardest thing, is that you encounter people who will make you angry, people who will shit on you, and you still have to be a good person. You still get nothing for it and give everything. We are at a point where you can't be logically good. You need to go a bit insane. Everyone is dumping their negativity into the ether, constantly purging it. There aren't enough filter feeders, there isn't enough happiness. An insane amount of negativity, requires insanity to fight back. Insane positivity. Illogical positivity, maybe love that isn't deserved, but necessary to achieve a balance.

We need to fight with a better strategy. I'm gonna do it forever. I'm gonna be insanely positive forever.  I don't even care if it's self destructive. Kamikaze style it is bitches.

right, it was weird at first, but i've gotten used to it. everything is too real, i still don't want to step in dog turds. i actually hate the intentional paradoxes. like we're all simulated, they should simulate cool stuff too, like ending war and cancer and making the perfect vegan meat and leather substitute and so on, but they keep all that shit in so we think we still live in a faulty reality. our handlers are mean assholes, tell you what.

I'm turning 30 in a couple of months and my body is starting to show signs of wear and tear..

The thing is I don't want go to the gym. I hate that shit and the people with passion (I'm sorry). So it needs to be something else. In the summertime I go swimming about thrice week. I skate 2-3 times a week and ride my bicycle to work etc.. Nothing real physical activities tho...

Food.. It's always been a bit problematic because I've always eaten I what want.  Nowadays my diet is mostly vegan, some days if I can't get vegan I'll eat dairy  products.. Currently I've been eating lot's of new potatoes and other veggies which are in season, always everything fresh and little as possible stuff that's grown or produced abroad. My protein mainly comes from nuts, peas and lentils. Also I have a garden where I get fresh berries for morning porridge.

Who is the world’s tallest midget, and who’s the one making the call?

Also, were Philips and Allen real people?  Did they know each other?  Were they enemies?  Kind of the Edison and Tesla of metal fasteners?

they were cool, they even did a cross collab with indy, check this out:

I really dislike Nyjah, but I have to say that I think his Send Saturdays YouTube videos are super entertaining. Which makes me think that if I can find that format enjoyable with people that really annoy me like D Loy, Sinner and other dudes, I really think it would be rad if other skaters I actually like put out some sort of vlog type videos documenting their days skating.

Free will is an illusion. If you accept the principle of causality then by definition everything that has happened or will ever happen is deterministic. I.e., if we were somehow able to account for and recreate all events in the creation of everything, then all things should proceed to unfurl the exact same way that it is now. The thing about it is there are so many variables and interactions of things over the course of billions of years we, as a small piece of existence, could never hope to unravel the complexity of all events that have happened or will ever happen. Therefore it doesn't matter that free will doesn't really exist. The complexity of all of creation makes seem as if it does.

You don't get to choose the purpose. The purpose is the activity, the purpose of life is living it. Like making music, the purpose is the activity of playing. Fulfilled, you aren't expected to do anything extra and so the option of a choice isn't required. The free-will is now, this part. The meaning is up to you.

You have control to create life, your free will spawns a new human with free will. However we do not control the abstract thing that is "living" we are bound into it, the decisions that were made that created you were not yours to make. You didn't exist.

You are a part of a system, you are a piston meant for firing in an engine that needs every single part. If you leave the engine and try and look at it from an abstract view your absence stops combustion and it no longer becomes an engine. You must exist as a part of it, if you didn't it wouldn't be.

Anarchists are definitely not thinking about that .They are just thinking about themselves . When I was 1st getting into punk & hardcore I thought anarchy was cool till i told my old man and he said something to the effect that i was a moron for thinking that would be a good idea . They just don’t want to obey the rules but then one one else would have to either . I have never heard anarchists solitons to their problems .

I do get some bees whenever the veggies flower. I was thinking of using the active bee hives to scare away the deer in the area. I do have a fence with some deer deterrents but I heard they won’t even come close to a garden if they hear bees actively around it. Also fresh ass honey sounds great.

He was clearly just trying to scare me as though i should be worried . He threatened to call the police i was all go ahead this ain’t a big deal . anyway so when i finally heard from the insurance co i had no issue with it being my fault but i told them i thought he was being false about the damage & sent then insurance co the pics i had . They still claim damage so on sunday i emailed his co. again saying i would like to know the cost of the damage and that i thinks he’s filing a fraudulent claim and they responded yesterday saying the driver had declined any further action and the claim is closed . So if i hadn’t pressed the issue we he have gotten away with a false claim ?

Can someone smarter than me explain why one country will sometimes refer to another country using a different name than the people of that country use?

For example, here in the US, we call Germany Germany but Germans call Germany Deutschland.

Same thing with Japan/Nippon.

I can understand translating stuff like “The People’s Republic of _____”.  But when it’s just a single proper noun, why not just go with the name they use?  It’s their fucking country, shouldn’t they get to pick the name? 

That’s like saying “I know you call yourself Bill, but I’m going to go ahead and call you Susan, mm’kay?”

Is it some sort of subtle “fuck you” to the other country?

I was waiting for his workshop part nearly 10 damn years. I remember being bummed on the shared one in Photosynthesis but then again he hadn't been on long.

I live in a place that freezes and gets covered in snow. If the snow is deep enough on the streets, is it possible to cross country ski down the road? I assume this is not possible, as I have not seen anybody do it. But then I start thinking how hilarious it would be to ski to the store during a snowstorm. I’m curious enough that I want to go down to Granola Mountain Emporium and ask Bodhisatta if urban cross country skiing is a thing.

Designing a new "cool" skate helmet. Something not as cumbersome as the current models out there. It might not be as protective; but it will be better than nothing. Growing up, my dad was really into bike racing. We'd go to his races and watch the tour de france on tv. I remember he had different helmets. One was like a spider web with leather wrapped foam. I'm picturing something like that. Lightweight and breathable. Maybe it could even be hidden within a beanie. Or a hoodie.
Last week, I had to attend the funeral of a good friend. He passed away after falling and hitting his head skating at the local park. 5 years ago, the same thing happened to another friend.
Maybe it's time we all start pulling an AA and protect our noggins.
Of course, after designing this, I'll need to find someone cool to endorse it, if its ever to catch on.

genuine good luck to you man.

I cant see any form of helmet catchin gany real traction with street skaters. there are obvious benefits to it and i wish they were less 'lame' BUT that being said, if you told 17 year old me to stick a helmet on before heading to the local 5 star I cant imagine the response being positive...

Of course, after designing this, I'll need to find someone cool to endorse it, if its ever to catch on.

When I skate the local park I always wear a helmet. It’s a promise I made to my wife and with two kids I respect it. I have a this helmet:

https://www.google.com/search?q=tsg+superlight&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=sinv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi_0OuwgMDkAhUIVN8KHQVuB2gQ_AUoAnoECAwQAg&biw=375&bih=553#imgrc=nxlI9jqTa22HEM

In cold weather I pull the padding out and use a thin beanie. I also use it snowboarding where helmets are super common now.

I would love a less dorky helmet, but the thing I hate the most is the way the helmet moves a little when pushing. I believe side impact is how people die, so that would be the area of the helmet to concentrate on the most.

Would be cool to do custom helmets. You figure a helmet should last five years. I spent $60 and it’s basically a bowl on my head.

The issue will be passing safety standards with something that does not rely on standard materials. I guess you could sell as a beanie with no safety claims but that limits your market.

I like the idea though and I think the skate market is in need of a street helmet. Sorry about your friend. That’s a tough one.

Why methane generated from biomass power plants is considered “carbon neutral” but methane from cattle enteric fermentation is not. They’re both converting stored carbon in plant matter into methane.

Because the growing of the biomass consumes an amount of carbon from the environment that is equal or less than the output. It's not about the physical process it's about the balance of carbon in and carbon out. Through the supply chain for cows, many carbon emitting processes are used to grow a healthy cow who is then converting stored carbon into methane. For the biomass, it consumes carbon first in order to have stored energy, then releases an equal amount.

But all of the carbon that the cow takes in is from plants, just like biomass. What carbon is the cow consuming and converting that didn’t originate from it’s plant-based food?

Just did some more reading on biomass and although a lot of government agencies consider it carbon neutral, it’s really not. I think that makes more sense to me now. Neither are carbon neutral.
Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: Complements4U on September 08, 2019, 11:40:05 AM
I think I am confused because for me carbon neutral refers to energy sources in our grid. What did it take to create the fuel, what was the output of waste and what was the output of energy? It's a balance. Compared to fossil fuels, wind energy, nuclear etc. Theres a plethora of pros and cons, if we look under the "carbon" aspect some energy sources are very carbon neutral. Cows do not provide energy beyond calories, in order to make a cow it requires many carbon emissions. A plant soaks up pure c02 from the atmosphere. Burning it releases that with very little in between. Every time you convert energy waste is released. You want to minimize conversion and maximize efficiency in your energy grid. If carbon is becoming a problem you can compare your sources. Biomass definitely has many cons, so it becomes very confusing to try and argue about environment as a whole or morality, which is what politicians frequently do. It makes people angry and muddies the subject.

Cows contribute to the carbon cycle a certain amount, when do they take carbon away from the cycle? And how much? They should take out almost the same amount of carbon that they contribute from the cycle in order to be neutral.

I was mainly focusing on biomass energy in the form of fermentation of biological matter in big tanks, not burning plants. Biomass energy facilities generate methane gas just like how cows expel methane gas from fermentation in their digestive system. And originally I was wondering why one adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere (not carbon neutral) and the other one doesn’t. Turns out they both do, because they’re essentially doing the same thing.

You get a certain amount of energy from eating a cow, but producing that same amount of energy through burning biomass releases less carbon dioxide. Meeting human energy needs by producing cows is like making a bonfire in order to cook one weenie.
Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: FROTHY on September 08, 2019, 05:46:09 PM
Not sure I’m getting my point across, but I appreciate the responses. I’m not talking about the energy output of a cow versus biomass. I’m not talking about energy in/energy out. Also, burning plants is not what I mean by biomass. Countries like Germany create these big vats of animal and plant waste that they ferment in order to produce methane and CO2. That’s what I’m talking about. So, I was simply questioning why one form of fermentation (cow burps/farts) was considered so harmful to the climate, while another (biomass fermentation) was supported as a sustainable practice. After some further reading, I found out that biomass fermentation for energy is not as harmless as the countries that practice it claim it to be. Which is a shame, because Germans pay extravagant costs for their electricity because it comes from “sustainable sources” but nah, not really.

Pay someone to package them
Pay for a sticker to put on there
Pay to load them on a big ass boat
Pay someone to sail that fucker wherever it’s going
Pay for the fuel
Pay to gas them with ethylene
Pay someone to transfer them onto an 18 wheeler
Pay the driver of the 18 wheeler and buy fuel
Pay someone to unload them at the store
Pay someone to stock them

Then there’s taxes to pay on everything and of course paying all the executives/IT guys/lawyers/PR people/bookkeepers etc.

And after all of that, I can buy a big-ass cluster of like nine bananas... for $1.40.  How the hell do they pay for all that?

When you see roaches dead on their back, what happend to them? Were they throwing down backflips and just ofed themselves?

They have dirty ass wings and legs so there's no way they are subject to the endless back rocking stage

3 college students died over here in Washington from drinking too many 4Lokos, they took the caffeine outta them so people started dropping Caffeine free 4lokos into a pitcher of redbull and calling them Loko Bombs. Always thought that was pretty special, I respected the brand loyalty and purism.

Yeah man I have a friend that once he touches alcohol it’s crazy. He’s thrown his shoes off a cliff at a bonfire and ran through the fire in his socks. Fought to get out of a car and run away. There’s once where 3 or 4 of us had to chase him into the desert and practically hog tie him to take him home. He was a caretaker for some old guy and would get shit faced at their house and just have a total disaster. He wasn’t always like that but now he is. He used to be able to drink and chill but was always a little wild. Nobody will hang out with him anyMore.

How has everyone using cards, apple pay, venmo, etc. to pay for everything affect people who beg for change on the street?  Sometimes if someone looks really hurting I would throw them some change or a dollar.   

Now I almost never have cash money on me and when I do it's usually $20s from the ATM.  The guy who plays guitar at me metro station has a bucket for collecting money, but also has a sign with his venmo info.

I was always one for kicking my board away till i knew i had the trick, I guess it was alwaysin the back of my head that if i get hurt i wont be able to skate for the rest of summer or if i break my board i wont be able to afford another until X date..

I am noticing more and more people commiting to EVERY attempt. full primo, definitely not going to roll away, doesnt matter, their taking it to the ground no atter what.

It sounds like there’s a pretty good market for my Stryke Force energy spiked seltzer. Let me provide some more details. It’s 7% alcohol, so it’ll get you drunk, but more gently than 4loko. It’s packed with vitamin b, guarana, and other things that are not scientifically not proven to not do nothing. IT’S CLEAR. It will debut in 3 flavors: Stampede, Volcano, and Four-Wheel-Drive.

I’m wondering how big my dog is gunna end up. The projected weight of a St. Bernard is between 180-210 lbs. I got him at 3 months old and he was 37 lbs, he is now 5 months old and 67 lbs so hes gaining roughly 1/2 lbs a day. Because hes a “giant” breed he won’t reach full maturity until he is 18 months old (also cant neuter him up until this point for health reasons).

Edit: Hes about 5’4 standing up and eats 4 1/2 cups of food per day currently. So hes grown about a foot in 2 months and eats a 1 1/2 cups more then when I first got him.

Haha im terrible at math but I just find it super interesting, this is my 20th dog i’ve raised and my first giant breed so its been a pretty cool learning experience. Im in a 4 bedroom house with a pretty big backyard and I work at a indoor dog park as well so he gets in for free whenever I go to work which is pretty rad for socializing him and giving him excercise.

That’s awesome , it’s makes me so sad here in oakland when people get dogs but they don’t have the time to get them the exercise they need Or have the funds to take care of them when something happens . People are so inconsiderate of the animal just thinks is a cool show piece . Glad you are able to give him the things he needs to be happy .

Edit: Hes about 5’4 standing up and eats 4 1/2 cups of food per day currently. So hes grown about a foot in 2 months and eats a 1 1/2 cups more then when I first got him.

So are we supposed to figure out this math problem
For you ? 🤣 that’s a huge dog , I hope you have large house and yard for him to run around
[close]

Haha im terrible at math but I just find it super interesting, this is my 20th dog i’ve raised and my first giant breed so its been a pretty cool learning experience. Im in a 4 bedroom house with a pretty big backyard and I work at a indoor dog park as well so he gets in for free whenever I go to work which is pretty rad for socializing him and giving him excercise.
[close]
That’s awesome , it’s makes me so sad here in oakland when people get dogs but they don’t have the time to get them the exercise they need Or have the funds to take care of them when something happens . People are so inconsiderate of the animal just thinks is a cool show piece . Glad you are able to give him the things he needs to be happy .

I totally feel you on that, working where I do now can make me pretty upset at times. There are a lot of customers who drop their dog off 7 days a week and in some instances for up to 10 hours a day without even making arrangements for Lunch/Dinner. All those dogs have really severe behavioral problems as well. It’s a pretty big bummer knowing that alot of Huskys, Shepherds, etc at my work live in a tiny 1 bedroom apt in the middle of a city and dont get the excercise/attention they need.

I've been wanting a small truck forever. I actually get a little jealous when I see random Latinos driving around in their old Nissans and Toyotas. I don't want any part of the upkeep of an old vehicle though. These manufacturers just make what the people want and apparently the people want monster trucks with crew cabs, 3 foot beds, and giant arm sized mirrors to do 90 in the left lane in.

Vehicles from the 2000's if everything else is in good shape, are easier to maintain. But I mean it being older means there is more that could have gotten messed up. But in terms of general maintenance, if you can put together a board you can handle it. I used to never worry about doing brakes and oil changes on my old car but with my more modern one it's such a hassle.

Haha, just keep at it I guess. I learned back disasters before axle stalls because that trick was the main reason I wanted to start skating tranny in the first place. A well executed back d is one of the most beautiful things in the world IMHO.

Now if only I could practice what I preach and 'just keep at' front boards... Fuck rails, but with only b/s boardslide variations it gets pretty lame skating them.

That's another thing! I'm too much of a wuss to try back feebles, because my back 5050s suck. I have a friend who can back feeble anything every try and he says it's easier than boardslide sometimes but god damn I'm gonna have to just man up and do it one of these days.

And it's "my" day so I would like to do what ever I want and not be stressed. But at the same time it would be a good excuse to get people together and all that.. I think I'm a little bit afraid no one will come too but I know people will..  And I kind of blew it by not mentioning about it early enough for some of my friends who live far away from me. So they can't come. I feel like a little kid thinking about this.. I don't even like birthdays or I don't like them because I never have them??

I've been skating for 32 years and I'm finally realizing that the glory days are over. I'm starting to grasp that skating will never be as popular as it was in the 2000s again. Skateshops are closing, I never see anyone street skating when I am out and and about and when I do see someone with a board 9 times out of 10 it's a longboard or a penny cruiser. I should mention I live in Southern California. I have to say, I'm kinda stoked that our thing is kinda going underground again. I've also realized most of us are crazy for sticking with this shit for as long as we all have and to love it as much as we do is not considered normal by the mainstream non-skating public. FUCK EM

Skateshops are closing, I never see anyone street skating when I am out and and about and when I do see someone with a board 9 times out of 10 it's a longboard or a penny cruiser. I should mention I live in Southern California. I have to say, I'm kinda stoked that our thing is kinda going underground again. I've also realized most of us are crazy for sticking with this shit for as long as we all have and to love it as much as we do is not considered normal by the mainstream non-skating public. FUCK EM

I remember as a teenager skating around the city of sydney, you would see skaters at every street corner, you couldnt hit a spot without other people cruising up to it. I know the skate scene in sydney is still somewhat strong but i just rarely see skaters out now

I think it was the Tony Hawk games that was really driving people to go out and buy skateboards and skate shoes back then. There will never be another THPS series with all the super pros from that era. Selling the 90s-2000s hardcore party bro skate star lifestyle to wayward kids just couldn't sustain itself, seems like everybody is on a health and fitness kick now and wants to go to college. I like the change but it takes some getting used to for sure. When I was a kid skaters were treated with scorn and usually came from broken homes on the wrong side of the tracks. It's different these days

why the fuck is NASA such a fashion statement these days?
[close]

Im currenty working at a university and every second person i see is walking around campus with NASA gear on, i dont understand when this became a thing.

It's super trendy nowadays. I've seen everyone from college girls to heroin dealers on the corner wearing NASA shit. At first it was kind of neat to see them get some publicity but now it's gone too far and just seems like a lame fad.

I cringed when I saw the NASA habitat boards. The direction that company is taking now makes me not want to buy Habitat anymore. They used to be so much cooler but after the NASA shit, I'm kind of writing them off.

Should I throw a birthday party for myself?

Turning 30 in a weeks time and I don't know. I have never really had any parties for me.. It's just so stressful that I can't really enjoy it.. And it's "my" day so I would like to do what ever I want and not be stressed. But at the same time it would be a good excuse to get people together and all that.. I think I'm a little bit afraid no one will come too but I know people will..  And I kind of blew it by not mentioning about it early enough for some of my friends who live far away from me. So they can't come. I feel like a little kid thinking about this.. I don't even like birthdays or I don't like them because I never have them??
[close]
I'd go to your party. I didn't do a 30th birthday party last year and I've surprised myself by somewhat regretting it. Where do you live? If you're anywhere near San Diego I'll go.

Thank you L33T.

Decided to not have one big party and instead had a few little parties for different people on different days..
I kind of liked the idea. Got to be wasted the whole weekend and had time to talk to my friends instead of being a big stressful mess where I feel like I don't have enough time for every one and just miss everything. Kind of makes me think I might have some issues with control buuuut that's a different conversation.

Also had the weirdest hangover. Didn't have any nausea but I cried a lot, like it just made really in tune with the world or some shit.. This planet, the space, us humans, what even is what are we doing? You know stuff..

Anyone ever get like fucked or woken up to being fucked while asleep, I guess basically sleep assaulted? Not like unwillingly but like you asked them for it? Or maybe you didn't?

I remember I told my girl whom im still with, to just go for it one time if I fell asleep. Probably couple years ago. It was strange to say the least.

Although I asked for it, waking up to it was still kinda like wtf is going on? I can't imagine actually being assaulted.

Although I asked for it and was totally down once I rubbed my eyes lol I was still surprised to say the least.

Has anyone else woken up to a girl, guy, whomever, on top of you? Wasn't nearly as cool as I thought it would be.

Large girl tried to get with me while i was pretty much passed out drunk. I told her no, then i heard her crying outside and telling people i was "a faggot".

A girl almost twice my age and not very pretty brought me to her apartment after a party got busted. She got on me and fucked me even though i told her i was way to drunk and tired to do anything. I remember her saying "at least it feels good for me". Haha, the standards for sexual assault are VERY different for chicks. None of that shit really bothered me though. Just funny to imagine if the roles were reversed.

So this weeknd I had the discussion with my lady friend that I’ve heard Johnny cash be called “punk “ and I have this thing that he can’t be punk because the term punk hasn’t been coined yet hence why I posted this link to writer referring to this concert as so . I went on some long tedious rant about it . He can be an outlaw , a rebel whatever was a popular term of the 60’s but not punk . Of course she didn’t grew with me . Maybe no one here will .

I caught a fucking massive carp today,

anyone else into fishing after skating or nah?

I love fishing. Mainly bass fishing.

The rivers here in Pittsburgh have gigantic carp in them. I remember my grandfather caught a carp back in the day that was something like 40+ pounds.

lol I like the intensity right out the gate. In a similar theme I was driving today and some guy was driving right up the back of me and I was just thinking "fuck this guy" as when he got the first chance to overtake he did and proceeded to do it to every car ahead of him, theres no way an accident isn't in his future because if I had to brake any more he would have hit the back of my car. Anyway It made me think I wonder how many people have thought that about me on the road or not for that momentary time and then forget I ever existed.

Burr has big gripe against all the constant unnecessary celebration in sports these days . So I’m curious what other people think here on the board ? Me personally I don’t care for arrogance and disrespect to something that’s been around a lot longer then I have been around for and today’s society doesn’t care much for previous rules . they want to make there own set of rules for others to follow .

Nowadays I don't really think anyone does that aside maybe from Dill and AVE still? Maybe Ben Blundell and Tyler Warren...it's not as noticeable as in the past.

(https://i.imgflip.com/3f2vls.jpg) (https://imgflip.com/i/3f2vls)via Imgflip Meme Generator (https://imgflip.com/memegenerator)

got me thinking what is it worth


The jacket is a 1970s two pocket levi type 3 that John Travolta touched in 2013. I have two more. Should have had him sign one.

The AxCx patch I got from Seth Putnam. Charley I think sold me the Psycho.

The Hand printed anticimex back patch came from crusty tim I think. I got it at an anarchist market

My ex boyfriend got me the other stuff.

There's 20 coats of a special paint that I mixed by hand in 2002 and ran out of.

It smells like a service yard for public transportation

I feel it's wrong to sell this to someone

I could have built a miniramp with the money. Maybe I would trade for a miniramp idk

I hate unnecessary celebrating in football, mainly. Hate it with a passion.

Most of the time when a guy scores a TD, he gets the whole team in the endzone to pose for the camera or some shit. Just spike the ball (or preferably hand it to the ref) and jog back to the sidelines.

The worst is when a guy from a team that is losing by 35 points will get up after getting a first down and point down the field. What are you celebrating? You are getting your asses kicked. Just shut the fuck up.

I don't quite understand all of it either, but I think because they're not accelerating or changing the speed at which they're moving, they don't feel that movement. Like when you fly on a plane, you feel the speed when you take off, but when your cruising at like 500-something mph, you don't feel like you're going that fast.

Plus theres no gravity or any other force working against you when you're in space.

Yea something similar when I was a kid, i thought that if you were on a train and jumped, while you were in the air the train would move under your feet and you would float. But i guess since you are going the same speed it doesnt work like that. Yea though space walks seem pretty fucking wild with no wind resistance it must be weird as hell.

What trips me out is that there is gravity and the space station is effectively falling however due to it's speed and position in low earth orbit it never hits the ground.

I've been skating for 32 years and I'm finally realizing that the glory days are over. I'm starting to grasp that skating will never be as popular as it was in the 2000s again. Skateshops are closing, I never see anyone street skating when I am out and and about and when I do see someone with a board 9 times out of 10 it's a longboard or a penny cruiser. I should mention I live in Southern California. I have to say, I'm kinda stoked that our thing is kinda going underground again. I've also realized most of us are crazy for sticking with this shit for as long as we all have and to love it as much as we do is not considered normal by the mainstream non-skating public. FUCK EM
[close]

I remember as a teenager skating around the city of sydney, you would see skaters at every street corner, you couldnt hit a spot without other people cruising up to it. I know the skate scene in sydney is still somewhat strong but i just rarely see skaters out now
I live in the middle of nowhere. It’s crazy now when I think how nobody is out skating anymore. I don’t see anyone anyways. We used to roll around like bandits and cross the paths of others doing the same.

It used to be a more frequent thing everywhere: packs of skaters roaring down the street. That was such an awesome sight and sound. They've successfully domesticated and tamed skateboarding. Or maybe the younger generation doesn't see the point of leaving the park. There are still small isolated groups hitting the streets but it's not the same.

I feel like a bitch saying this but there are definitely too many parks in new york city and it feels like bread and circuses to keep us away from borough hall and big screen or whatever.* also I got kicked out of that park in East Harlem with the concrete mini because it's completely within the confines of a school's recess area and adults can't be in there during school hours.

  The front ones never quite made it 'out of style' but the backside ones def did.  I wonder who brought the back 3 back?  J klein in The End?   360 flips were out of style for a lil minute there even at one point.

His Oakley "Our Life" part has a lot of technically crazy tricks in it. I was 14-15 when that video came out and I always found myself intrigued by his part because he was so opposite of what I wanted my skating to look like both in trick selection and clothing style.

Edit: just watched the part again to refresh my memory. A lot of the clips in this part could hold up today but I think his real downfall was the tall tee. Looks like he went too many sizes too tall.

has anyone ever clicked a banner ad on a website thinking "oh yes i need this" then proceeded to purchase the product?

i just feel like digital ad space is kinda pointless sometimes and only reminds people that yes, that company is still around. looking at the slap ads, its obviously stuff i am interested in and even still i wouldnt click and buy through a digital ad. especially these fucking krux ads.

I almost never buy anything new as a result of ads. I'm not saying that to sound cool - it's fine to be influenced by advertising. Ads have definitely influenced me - but it's usually for a product I'm aware of beforehand. First I hear good things about it, then if I'm introduced to an ad and it's not cringeworthy, that's icing on the cake.

I would be interested in seeing the clickthrough rate for some of the ads on Slap, though. Can't be that much.

I got offered an insane amount of money for this.

(https://i.imgflip.com/3f2vls.jpg) (https://imgflip.com/i/3f2vls)via Imgflip Meme Generator (https://imgflip.com/memegenerator)

got me thinking what is it worth


The jacket is a 1970s two pocket levi type 3 that John Travolta touched in 2013. I have two more. Should have had him sign one.

The AxCx patch I got from Seth Putnam. Charley I think sold me the Psycho.

The Hand printed anticimex back patch came from crusty tim I think. I got it at an anarchist market

My ex boyfriend got me the other stuff.

There's 20 coats of a special paint that I mixed by hand in 2002 and ran out of.

It smells like a service yard for public transportation

I feel it's wrong to sell this to someone

I could have built a miniramp with the money. Maybe I would trade for a miniramp idk
[close]

what is an insane price to you? no offense but that looks like the most uncomfortable piece of clothing ever.

people say that then they try it on. It fits me like a second skin. I built it on the subways and busses hand stitched it with 10 rolls of dental floss. I was wearing it daily under a leather so its hella soft. Its 22 lbs of awesome. I got offered several hundred a few times.

To sell this to someone is against my beliefs. Same with excepting sponsorships for skating. Shop is cool. Local board company cool. All else is lame shit

If the simple act of sitting down involves a "decision-making process" which causes you to question your sexuality, I suggest you go outside and suck the first willing dick you come across. Or not, but it sounds like it might really simplify your life.

The thing with the sandwich is extremely bizarre. But I think its a combination the chicken already being good and the sandwich being pretty cheap at 4 bucks. I recently tried it and think its completely over hyped. Id get it again if there wasn't a line out the door but there's no way I'm waiting that long again for one.

This does sound like it would be cool lol. It'd have to be pretty thick though, because I can imagine the middle where it meets would be a bit weak. Maybe a thin wooden or plastic L actually in the wax to keep it together somewhat?

That's a great idea. Was also thinking of a smaller version with a hole so it could fit onto a keyring, that way you can quickly wax an already-waxed ledge or curb that just needs a slight retouching.

Sometimes I get sad, because I notice that a really beautiful ingredient is now in season. Fresh and delicious. I reach out, let's work together, let's create a beautiful meal. They acknowledge the ingredient is beautiful, they patronize my passion, but then they dont go any further, they sit and let wait. I watch the beautiful ingredients slowly rot, into something no longer worth putting in a dish. Then, the foul odor becomes all anyone can smell. I'm not mad, I dont have resentment. I just wish I was a good enough marketer, I wish they were hungry, because I have so many recipe ideas.

Some things aren't about how good of a marketer one is, and are just meant either to happen or not. I find it best to just enjoy the good times in the present moment, maybe finding joy in eating the ephemeral ingredients one by one together before they rot instead of projecting ambitious phantasmal recipes is a healthier way of functioning, and see where that takes you. I find it to be a more reliable anchor to reality; what really drifts people away from one another is miscommunication when one of the - or even both - parties give(s) up on keeping a constant dialog, in favor of selfishly retreating back into the shell of their own little fantasy world. Which seems to be a natural human tendency and is understandable as such, but not unforgivable and one one's better off watching for the sake of everyone involved, for every day they don't is one closer to the expiring date.

If that can make you feel any better, remember that your situation most likely hasn't much to do with you personally, all relationships come and go following the pace of deciphering, then either accepting or not the other person's limitations, everything starts off as naively promising until a linear reality catches up and ruins part of that potential, but that's only waste if you chose to believe in more than what you already had in the first place. If you just let things flow naturally and keep the rationality of your attachment in check, there's no reason to end up with leftovers.

This is a petty thing to ponder, but I've been debating on changing up my shoe selection again. DC's have been great thus far, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm sacrificing my flick for the extra support. Skated the Syntax, Legacy Slims, Lynx, and now the Kalis OGs. All have been great, but like I said...I feel like it's caused me to get a little sloppy with my flick and catch.
Anyone got any recommendations for a cupsole (or even a thicker vulc shoe) that offers impact support while not affecting my flick and catch? I've been eyeing the Tyshawn /// for a while...

I've worn contacts for 10 years, and although every now and then one will pop out, it's pretty wild to me that you can just stick them on your eyeball and you don't feel it and it just stays there all day. It seems like it would be popping out every minute or 2 or from blinking. Seems like one of those improvements in technology that would blow people away if you went back in time. I guess telling someone about laser surgery would be even more wild, but you get my point.

So you believe turmeric really works on old skaters with pain ? It just popped up out of nowhere & now it’s all the rage . So I should believe it cause a someone said so ?

   Sorry.  Uh yah these kids for whatever reason have seizures.  I watched a thing where this kid would have 'them' every 90 seconds.  They can be life threatening in some cases.  Anyway for somthing like 60% of them, high dose cbd ends the seizures mostly.  Effective quickly.  Problem is that the hemp industry (cheapest source of cbd, its taken from hemp industry byprouduct) is so regulated that the cost of the cbd is too high for middle income.  High doses are needed for these kids.  If they are even allowed to get it, as its outlawed many places.

It's kind of ridiculous how expensive this shit is. My wife does hair at a higher end salon and has a lot of high income clients. She told me that one of them was doing the CBD thing for one of her kids who had seizures and it worked like a miracle. This lady now sells it as a side gig and tried to get my wife to sign up for a monthly subscription... for $140! That's more than my car insurance.

If you have one and recommend it, what's a good one to try for a little bedside table? I live in Europe so I can't buy something from the states but if some big store like Ikea or Leroy Merlin have them, I could pick one up there.

why everyone is hating on baker4 so hard when the new zero video was complete trash and toy machine was okay.....at best, just blows my mind
[close]
I was thinking the same thing . What do they expect or want ? I’ve watched some of it and so far thought it was great especially kader skating to the stones. Also seems like a lot of new posters just trying & being cool is to hate on baker . I mean that’s their loss of they are not happy to watch a great skate video . You’ll never see me post about videos since most comments are just nonsense .
[close]

straight up dude, i instantly regretted posting my thoughts of enjoying the video in the baker thread cause all the bandwagon brainless posters jump out with negative nonsense.
I think it was earlier this year I made comment about spitfire lock-ins and people went haywire . It was awesome I should have kept it going but I got all emo about it . The baker thread is off the deep end now . I don’t know how people have so much time to watch all the videos . I’ve been off all week and I haven’t had time to watch any new videos . If the baker is still on Pornhub I suppose I could watch it now .

I had my identity stolen from dmv 21 years ago and what a hassle . I told the person helping six my
situation that it most likely happened here at dmv and she agreed .  I am sure thieves are in the process of working on it steeling face recognition.

oh yeah, crazy sports fans are the worst. the ones who won't even admit their team benefited from a terrible call by the refs, or act like it's not important, but if their team loses it was because of the refs, and suddenly the refs matter again.

Yeah you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. I usually refer to posters here as he/him since I know 99% of them are biologically male, so I just go with the odds. If someone corrects me and tells me their preferred pronoun then I'll be happy to oblige but until then...

(https://i.imgflip.com/3ieo4t.jpg) (https://imgflip.com/i/3ieo4t)via Imgflip Meme Generator (https://imgflip.com/memegenerator)

this is my cousin he gave me a blue banana board sometime in the year 1983. I fell really hard in the kitchen at 12 green street. It was around my 5th birthday I think. I put it away.

On the first day of grade k we had a field trip. We walked around old town and did show and tell at everyone's house.

At my house on pleasant street I said. I have a skateboard but I can't ride it. My bike was locked up in the basement so I got the board to show.
My friend Mike said I know how. He put it in the ground and pushes 3x rolling across my driveway into the church's gravel driveway. A big cloud of dust went into the air. Mike was unhurt.

That was the moment I realized it was possible for me too.

Today I have given everything to punk and skateboarding and drugs for a while. If I died soon I'd feel like I was 60 good 30 bad and 10 straight up horror.

I can live with this. I was looking at this photo and I think about it.

RIP Christopher "Bones" Jones 6/1/68 - 5/1/86.

Im just now staring to realise that equating 'honest peson' and 'good peron' is a way overly simplistic approach.  Some of the best people in your life might have a charcter flaw where they cant communicate 'directly'.  Im not saying that direct communication isnt super nice cause it is.  Just sayin that people can go pretty gung ho for certain ideas and when they grow more subleties fly up.

the future already exists . the past pushes us away and the future pulls us towards it . we can literally predict the future if you think of it in short-term but it’s much harder to see further down the line . we don’t know how our actions are going to interact with each other’s which creates spontaneity or it’s hard to control our mood and instincts . i don’t know where im going with this but i lay in bed at night and wonder about the universe - i wonder if dreams matter and what sleep has to do with all of this

I know the video I am describing paints a picture but the skater had on a goofy boy kit and someone was filming a line at a school.

 Thug runs up on skater points it at his head  filmer is watching this go down, skater snatches pistol and proceeds to beat the brakes off the thug.

I wonder SLAP pals could we maybe source out this dude and maybe get a PALS Q&A?

the future already exists . the past pushes us away and the future pulls us towards it . we can literally predict the future if you think of it in short-term but it’s much harder to see further down the line . we don’t know how our actions are going to interact with each other’s which creates spontaneity or it’s hard to control our mood and instincts . i don’t know where im going with this but i lay in bed at night and wonder about the universe - i wonder if dreams matter and what sleep has to do with all of this
  I feel ur onto SOMTHING like.  I started to suspect some time ago that 'future' events affect our 'present' reality all over the place.  Fabric in the wind like the northern lights across the sky.

Yeah it seems like dude with the gun had no trigger discipline, I cannot say for certain I'd do the same if in the situation.

Probably be the only time I'd get away with self defense manslaughter, if that's the term?!

laws got nothing to do w/ it, gangmembers have stolen weapons. our gun laws prevent millions of potential crimes a yr, by i believe  6-1 ration vs guns used in crimes.
asides, in other countries the fat guy would throw acid or stab. guns are better because they're demonstrative.

i guess youre half right. i dont know anything about the statistics at all so ill take your word for it.

but nah that second point i disagree with. In the 2 decades ive been skating noone has ever pulled a knife or thrown acid on us. Theres been plenty of little scuffles and fights but the lowlifes in up here in Scotland arent out to kill anyone, they usually just want your wallet.

sure and how many vids are there of thugs pulling guns on skaters? it's happened, we had a mulch gap that became known as 'wiggers w/ guns gap' behind a situation but nobody was trying to hurt anyone, they were showing off a stolen firearm and throwing weight around.
and i think there's a bench spot known as 'bullets' but it wasn't related to violence against skaters.
our states run the gamut w/ gun rights but the ones where everyone might be strapped trend safer than the gun control areas, make of that what you will.

Yea that's been one of the more popular conspiracy theories about kennedy.

How did you like the movie? Joe pesci is so fucking great. Much more relaxed performance than usual from him, but he has been out for a good while. It was a long film but it was very entertaining.

I liked parts of it. they could have definitely shortened it. some of the hoffa stuff especially was too long and not particularly interesting. I also think they should have hired younger actors for the early scenes.

"fuck with" used to mean to challenge or harass someone. but these days the meaning flipped to mean you're a fan of something, similar to the way "bad" took on a positive meaning in 80s slang. so when young people listen to "wu-tang clan ain't nuthin' ta f' wit," do they think the wu-tang clan is very aggressively declaring how shitty of a hip-hop group they are?

So I checked the official Olympics website to see what they have to say about skateboarding.

Strangely enough, despite there being articles about skateboarding on the site, it's still not listed as one of the sports - https://www.olympic.org/tokyo-2020 (https://www.olympic.org/tokyo-2020)

Maybe I'm missing something, or they have to finalize the teams or whatever, but it's a strange omission. Made me wonder if they could actually pull the plug on the whole thing, and if that happens, how we'd all react. I'm also wondering if the Olympic committee is aware of all the criticism and backlash from skateboarders to the inclusion in the Olympics, and if that's swaying their opinion on it.

Looking at the articles, one of them describes a girl from Brazil as "desperate" to get into the Olympics. Another one says "There’s no doubt that the Olympic spotlight on skateboarding and the impressive tricks on show will help boost the credibility of the sport. And almost certainly encourage more people to get skateboarding… " The tone is a little weird - like they're trying to prove that the Olympics is good for skateboarding. I don't know. Looking forward to the eventual thread!

Peace is the natural flow of energy, its entropy, order vs chaos. The sun is an incredibly peaceful purge, an orgasm lasting 10 billion years, imagine how amazing it is to be the universe? The sun exists because of a flow, from order back to chaos, from a nexus to the edge of the solar system, that flow is peaceful and blissful. We swim in an ocean, on the surface treading amongst waves. Why is it so rough? Maybe cause the calm is what we tread in, what we stress to float upon. We are the waves that toss us side to side, I am the spray burning your face. Everything is suddenly so beautiful, when you become a fetus submerged in a womb, engulfed in an abyss, you see its always the same, Below the flailing, and splashing, below the fighting and swimming, one day,

Rant time.

I rant here because outside of my immediate family i only give a shit about you people. The Core of us are present here at slap.
The good the bad and the ugly and the un punk. If you got a board you got at least a pinky toe in punk in my opinion.

I love slap.

I have been able to save more than 1 persons life sometimes that person multiple times in one day.
I have inspired many more to follow me onto the tightrope walk above grave and beg to blow it.

I fucking blew it and its hard to believe I survived.

I was following the punks who where still around.

The issues with that is the old ones who didn't skate away and stuck around were toxic as fucking hell so many kids just got lost because of their negative influence following bullshit tradition.

My aunt Libby Bates offered help. She was to contact jake and get me out of Massachusetts. I declined thinking i was not worthy anymore because of my choices and that i was hiding my sexuality from everything.

Skate Nazis must die. 

i may continue my rant later because ibwant to tell you about the crazy my skating took me too.

Shalom heres a little bit of proof what i speak is truth when it come to origins

Im tripping balls rn so if it doesn't read im sorry

'2020' might be the title of a post-apocalyptic movie from 20 years ago.

I was thinking today how weird it is that no matter what the final apocalypse might look like (if it comes, fingers crossed it doesn't), there will already be a film or TV show about it. When the machines take over, everyone will be thinking to themselves "Hey, this is just like what I paid 5 bucks to see at the movies in 1991"

It depends if we decide to work together or continue to work against each other . I suppose that’s stating the obvious . It’s like my Coworker, every sat he runs off and does his own thing never wants to assist me . I’m a the crew lead and he’s a part timer . He constantly  wants to work against me and not together and then he wonders why I get aggravated. So our govt , politicians are all the same .Everyone  thinks they are smarter then the next person , thinks everyone is an idiot and so on . We don’t stop and try educate anyone else we just say you’re an idiot and leave it at that . That’s your solution ? Here in the bay they make some sad attempt and low income housing to find our 7 rooms are low income out of 100 . Come on ! We’ve become so entitled and selfish I believe we will just crumble as a society soon .

Yeah, but unfortunately way more things than just those fires are fucked.
I just posted that clip since it freaked me out and is currently happening.

New Orleans is so good whether your there for a chill time or a party time, I wish I remembered specific names for some of the cool bars I went to, a few decent little jazz bars in there. I think anyone up and down Bourbon street you'll have the obvious massive places but theres still a little of quiet cool ones too on the outskirts.

New Orleans is dope; you'll have a fun time even if it's just a night. Bacchanal is a chill bar wine/cheese store that has live music, but on Friday it'll probably be full of yuppies.

The implications of what I do for a living. Yesterday a girl told me she needed public assistance to get an abortion, which she got setup with. She didn't need to tell me what she needed coverage for, but she told me because I asked if it was an emergency, she could have said yes or no. I am pro choice but I kind of felt like, wow I just got this girl everything she needs to terminate her pregnancy. Not that I feel bad about it or anything, I'm sure it's for the best, but it's weird to have had a small hand in it. I'm glad I could help her, but it makes me upset how many people we have in situations like this and not enough staff to handle the demand. I called out today because I had a few customers with similar hardships and supervisors were not helping at all. I had to make 3 calls at the end of the day with really bad news, and had to stay past closing with the people on the phone to talk to them and give them reassurance.

Look up record cleaning kits on amazon. You can go all out and get one of those spin clean things for like $80, but you can also just get a little brush thing and a squirt bottle for less than $20.

I've found that a lot of people online think that if you breath too hard on a record, it's ruined, but they're not THAT delicate, so just be careful what you read. I probably wouldn't use a bath towel or a paper towel to wipe one down, but like the other dude said, an old soft tshirt will work for now and you're not going to destroy your records.

Blindly. Cat's aren't as domesticated as dogs so they just got that animal brain going. I think all animals are like that.

Dogs probably don't think it either, but both pickup verbal cues. Like my dog would go crazy if you said "treat" and my girlfriends cat goes crazy when she shakes the treat bag.

Supposedly dogs have been so domesticated they wouldn't survive without humans, supposedly.

You should watch the documentary The Secret Life Of Cats. They put little cameras on cats and see where they go at night. They do it to a bunch of cats in a neighborhood and they even have a gps that shows their path at the end of the night. It's crazy how each cat has territory and the lines show how they don't usually cross others.

It's crazy how each cat has territory and the lines show how they don't usually cross others.

where can I watch that? I have an orange tabby and he's so strange, he licks the paint off of my upstairs railing.
Yeah tabby’s are the shit. Orange or black I like. My girlfriend’s is orange. It’s actually called The Secret Life of The Cat by bbc. Not to be confused with the National Geographic secret life of cats.

Here’s part 1.

I figured i'd just ask this here rather than starting a new thread, but does anyone here have any experience with truck driving as a career? I've been contemplating giving it a another try because I was in school for it years ago but the timing was unfortunate so I couldn't complete it and just never got back to it.

I find trucking appealing but i'm also aware that it can be both physically and mentally draining, so I was just wondering if anyone here who has experience can share their thoughts on whether or not it's worth it.

My old gay boss who is a total douchebag said his brother is a trucker and loves it. And that it actually sounds fun and he makes really good money. I have thought about it many times. The only downside I see is self driving cars killing the job in the years to come and you're on the road a lot. If you are single would probably be a less of a problem. Try going on youtube and search like day in the life of a trucker or some shit.

Not really experience but a guy at my work used to do it and gave up cos' he reckons fuel costs and companies pushing unrealistic deadlines are killing it off as a job.

Was thinking about when Grosso said, "There are people who are very good at riding a skateboard, but they aren't skateboarders."

On the flipside of that, I was wondering if there are people who've never touched a skateboard, or barely skate, but who would still be considered genuine skateboarders. Like they typify the attitude and culture so well that they get a pass. Maybe I don't know, Duff McKagen or someone.

a pass on what? Like a pro model or something?
Duff is way too deep into the mud club to hang out at my ledges. Might be a bad example to pick.

Owen Wilson is cool.
Same with Christian Slater even though he bit his style from Jack Nicholson.

Slash is cooler. He pissed on the king of pop 3x. Lets give slash a pro model with a branded snake top ply.

No. Probably because it seems like an awful job that women should be glad they don’t have to do lol (Im not trying to be a dick either, I think it could be cool to see how a woman’s take on a skate video). Some women are doing cool lifestyle/look book stuff for supreme/Alltimers which is much more dignified imo

If there was a pit, say about 10,000 feet deep, and it was filled about 2/3 of the way up with feathers, and you jumped off a cliff into that pit, would you just slowly slow down as you fell through all of the feathers and survive?

I’ve been thinking about a variant of this for a while. If you jumped off a plane from let’s say 10000 feet and managed to land precisely in a very large vert ramp so that you slide out gradually, could you survive?

This is crazy because you can both look at it as a bad skatepark and, since that qualification is just barely matched (since it's not practically usable as such), as a super-expensive-for-what-it-really-is street spot. They failed so hard, they built a street spot, supposedly the authentic thing, instead of a park, supposedly the imitation. The blurring of the lines is fascinating to me. Always sorry to witness the waste of resources, of course.

Now in terms of classic, abstract skatepark design, this one is an old French favorite:

(https://i2.wp.com/laskateboarderie.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/crazypyramid-680x510.jpg)

Unfortunately they eventually tore that accidental masterpiece of a pyramid down after over a decade, to make a more skatable one, but the rest of the park is still just as fucked up (I'm so glad those random dudes once made a deliberately shitty edit there):

https://vimeo.com/25898040

People just used to not know where to begin when it comes to skatepark construction, some still struggle in certain necks of the wood for a variety of reasons while some others have perfected the art, I really like observing the local differences. Even in my region, there used to be a little skatepark that was built in the 90's according to plans drawn on the wrong scale, so every run-up was three feet tops and you'd land your transition tricks into grass. We've been turning it into a DIY spot for the past year:

Does a shit smell worse than a fart or a fart worse than a shit? There are many factors that can mask or musk the vile fragrancy of either in any given situation, but has a controlled study been done to objectively determine the most stank?

Sulfuric and skatole compounds could be tested and rated in the gas and scat, but ultimately the sense of smell is subjective. Is stank stinky to fart fanatics or coprophiliacs? Could be a spoiled vs fine wine scenario.

Personally, I’ve gotta go with shit. It stinks! Often. However, I also believe farts are potentially more lethal in essence.

I've had cauliflower crust pizza before and it's a very lame substitute. Clown, I'd just go for real pizza on a cheat day if you're dieting.

And for recording an album, we live in an age where there are seriously like a million ways to do it. They've got apps and tiny interfaces that allow you to record music right on your phone. If you've got a mac, you should have garage band already installed. You can use that, or any other software program you find online. You may need an interface depending on what computer you have. or you could go on ebay and buy an old 4 track cassette recorder and be all lo-fi and hip. Just find what you've got access to and give it a try.

Even in my region, there used to be a little skatepark that was built in the 90's according to plans drawn on the wrong scale, so every run-up was three feet tops and you'd land your transition tricks into grass. We've been turning it into a DIY spot for the past year:

Other people's opinions shouldn't matter. Think about how many shitty bands have sold millions of records and sell out arenas. I hate Journey, but they're a great band if you run the numbers.

Travis Scott is good if you like him.

Dude, I get so many spam calls and so many of them are, "Hey, this is Matt and I'm just following up because you said you wanted to make $10,000 a month, blah, blah, blah."

Some girl named Kenzi, who apparently had my phone number before me, defaulted on her student loans so I get fucking creditors calling from all over the country and also tons of scam calls. I never answer my phone unless I know who it is and sometimes when I'm frustrated with a random number from some obscure part of the country, I just answer it and scream.

There’s a thread about Johnny Bongo Schillereff‘s son being called Camp in the Photos/videos section. When I saw that, a million jokes just started flying through my head. Yet it is an innocent kid, of course, and the thread has to do with the memory of Kobe Bryant’s daughter. What to do? I ultimately decided to shut up.

I keep coming back to the thought that ever since I snapped out of the deep depressive state I was once in, I no longer skate as hard as I used to. Maybe it was a mix of deep-seated anger/hatred and depression.
I can’t tell if I was skating so hard just because I wanted to feel something other than suicidal feelings/thoughts or if it truly brought me happiness.
Regardless, I’m bummed that I no longer push myself to my very limits.

I get quite a few calls for Steve Davis (I must have signed up for something using the fake same of the former UK snooker champion).
Actually love when they call, have Jerky Boys CD that I put on while they're on speaker and I just listen to them try and sell to a recording.

i think that's normal to some degree. you have to continuously produce in some manner to have inner peace. if you can't relax at the end of the day it's a problem but usually if your mind is restless it's trying to tell you something.

I think mental health issues are of a symptom of the modern world period. However, I think social media fueled this weird trauma bonding/contest. It seemed to start with media types jockeying for clout but it has since been picked up by the public at large. You gotta remember this online behavior is really only about a decade old if that!

Why do you think you feel this way? I feel the same way sometimes, like I've never done anything great or that I'm not outstanding at anything. What gets me out of that mindset is reminding myself that I'm probably the only person on earth who has those thoughts about me. I guarantee nobody else out there is sitting around thinking "JB has never done anything spectular. He's the most boring, ordinary person ever. What a waste of space." Everyone is too busy worrying about themselves to spend their time worrying about my mediocrity. A super small percentage of the human population ever does anything extraordinary and the likeliness that everyone will be like that is so small, so don't beat yourself up if you're not the most amazing person ever. You said you're not awful, I think that should be good enough.

The only one that comes to mind is Daniel Wheatley in the beginning of Jon Scianos “The Flare” part.  I could’ve sworn they put out a bside of his part but I couldn’t find it.
[close]

nah i don't think it was that given i haven't seen the flare and i think the one i'm remembering was earlier than that. think it may have been a static cam/second angle that captures the filmer just tumbling into the frame but i could be wrong.
[close]

Don't know why I didn't just google it earlier instead of going straight to youtube.

@ 3:50 is the clip I was thinking of.

shit that was infact the one i was thinking of, many thanks + gnars

so i creep on Lennie Kirk's instagram and he lists all his delusions [entreprenuer, lover, fighter, mma, cyberhacker] but he doesn't list Christian or man of God.
is Lennie of the Lord?

oh man i might have to tag in cheetah for this one, i'm not great at explaining tricks. i think i learned manuals first, on a tiny manny pad (fully scraping my tail lol). then i tried the 5-0 on a tiny ledge (probably like 6"). i kept getting into the grind, but slipping out backwards, board shooting forward. eventually figured out how to keep my body fully above the board (centered?) while lifting my front truck up, instead of leaning my entire body backwards and only grinding for a moment before i slipped out.

maybe also try doing it as a stall on a unwaxed curb first. like ride up to it at almost a 90 degree angle, slowish, and ollie into the stall, hole for a second, and pop out. this can help get the feel and confidence for it, without the risk of slipping out.

if that wasn't at all helpful, im sorry.

I've been wondering lately how many people obsess over sports because they genuinely love the sport and repping their team/home, compared to how many people love/follow sports just for the gambling opportunities.

Almost all the friends I have who love sports are always betting money on games. It's obviously common worldwide. So is the prospect of winning money the real reason why most people love sports?

I never obsess/follow teams or games, I'm a casual enjoyer. I also never bet on any of them. I'm sure if I started to put money behind it, I'd be paying way more attention in order not to lose money.

Is it common for companies to pay artists to subtly include their brand name in the lyrics? Would be a pretty great way to advertise. Like imagine if that despacito guy shouted out pepsi in that despacito song. People would be drinking so much pepsi

I had to try and explain skateboarding to someone yesterday, and compared it to music (the most technically gifted singer might not be the one who's songs you want to listen to, or something like that). Then started pondering about how weird it would be if one of the primary functions of a song was to advertise shit, like how it is for skate parts, which led me to ponder the question

And my wife is a nurse. Knowing she's out there helping people who don't even want to help themselves has left me riddled with anxiety.

cant see there being a huge market for that? a ot of people are so stretched between work, family, social shit, hobbies and everything else life throws at you, the temptation to grab a monster or whatever for an 'energy boost' is almost mandaotory to keep up with what they expect to acheive in a day.

Then looking at the Kalis S, I swear it almost looks like a fighter jet.

Maybe it's just me. It got me thinking about how it could be a marketing strategy by DC to convey subliminal imagery of "cool kid things" in their shoe designs, in order to appeal to our baser instincts.

read this interview about slap and have been shipping slap pals in my head since.

"Has anyone got any ass or found a girlfriend / boyfriend because of SLAP?"
Bobby Peru: "There are and always have been women on the forum, as well as eligible gay, and transgender singles if you’re looking for a spouse on SLAP for some reason. There aren’t many, and they fade in and out like any poster, but they’re there, and we’d be happy to see more too. But no ass for me, but I am aware of ass having been exchanged. I won’t blow the posters up. AND there have been instances where younger members have posted asking for tips on dating or overcoming shyness, with SLAP’s advice leading to them getting laid. It takes a village."

sometimes that feeling can be Mania and it can be a good or bad thing depending how you apply it. I typically just go for a walk if the weather is nice. Avoid thought patterns that go in loops. If you have to end a thought loop with "fuck it whatever" just do that.

Yes

but i'm the same. i'd rather have a normal day with some extended luxuries maybe, but no celebration. but i am also kind of anti social and if i meet anyone on purpose that day it's my closest friends or family.

despite that, i'm wondering if davethedavedave posting yes in every thread is some sort of life affirming philosophy thing.

You don’t need to tell me twice. I love coffee. However, I’ve got this idea that it would be great to stop relying on any stimulants for things like my mood or productivity. My two vices right now are coffee and nicotine patches.

That’s actually the fucking pathetic/ hilarious part of this- I’ve been using nicotine patches for years. I quit smoking like 4 years ago but nicotine has been a bitch to totally let go of. For me, and this is coming from someone who went to rehab for drug abuse, nicotine is by far the most difficult thing I’ve ever tried to stop.

I should probably get my priorities straight and stop relying on nicotine as it’s far more expensive and probably more damaging than coffee. Until then, I’m sticking to quitting caffeine.

EDIT: actually, I just made the mental commitment to try and stop using nicotine first. This is the first time I’ve written that down and it felt absolutely ridiculous when I read it. Disregard all my ranting. I’ve had 4 cups of coffee. My cognitive dissonance is off the chain today.

I've been drinking straight black coffee as of late and I like it better than I did before. I've been trying to lose weight. This weekend is my birthday and I'm tempted to take myself out for lunch or dinner. Ate pizza last night cuz I was super hungry but then my mom talked me into ice cream, which always makes me sick. Today I ate a slice of pizza for breakfast with some mushrooms and eggs. Then for lunch and 2 hours of intense gardening I had 3 slices of pizza.

Anyone got a good food to make one feel full? I've been eating a lot of mushrooms and those do the job but they are expensive.
Been drinking hella water too but it doesn't always do the job.

Potatoes man, making them different ways and switching up the spices or greens

Soaking/boiling your own beans as well instead of cans

Ramen with peanuts and other nuts from the baking section

Mind over matter though. Control portions

I've been reading a good book about brain training, and I've been wondering how to further develop my prefrontal lobe.

Problem-solving is one of the major ways. The book asks the reader to think of the phrase "The longer drive home will get you there in a shorter amount of time," and then asks for an example.

Maybe my lobe isn't as strong as others b/c I really needed to think about it. But then a lightbulb went off and I realized it could likely mean that due to post-work rush hour traffic, taking the shorter route home will be longer due to all the cars taking the same route, but the longer route won't be as crowded and would actually take less time overall. And that's true - I think we've all taken backroads during traffic jams.

Anyway, the prefrontal lobe is strengthened by, amongst other things, imagining novel strategies for problems. And I'm trying to apply it to my everyday life for some of the problems I face - getting my wife and mom to be comfortable with each other and getting out of debt are two such examples. Maybe I need to do more research on both of those before venturing into creating strategies.

  If I ate like that I'd be a nervous wreck.  Get some vegetables dude.  Here's a recipe;   cook a couple of bacon pieces then cook some oil and garlic put a cup of frozen kale in the pan with that and cook for 4 min with cover stirring then add 2 eggs and cook for a minute or 2 stirring.  Eat that shit with hot sauce and skip the toast.

I got a new job right as the pandemic started hitting. Haven't even had one day in the office. No webcam, but I make sure to monitor our Google chat. Some days I've literally done nothing, some days I've been given some bigger projects that take days. So honestly not that much different than normal. I'm an accountant BTW.

I do not believe I have seen many, if any, setups in the setup thread with the full on giant ugly stencil shake junt grip. I think I’m thankful for that.

I was so fucking confused seeing it for the first time in a shop after being out of the game since Madrid was a thing (I miss that little bug). Looking into their videos and stuff was confusing as well but I don't try too hard to understand west coast American stuff seeing as I'm Canadian and from the east.

It's actually grown on me a bit over time and I don't mind seeing it in clips as much as overalls for example.

Thank you! Although I ended up googling it anyways, saw some pictures and got bummed.

Pretty interesting though that there's such a big difference in deaths. At least based on the women I've been with, wanting to get choked isn't anything too uncommon

The special meter in THPS was kind of realistic and hasnt been recreated in other skate games. When you land a few tricks you get into a flow and skate better. And after bailing it takes a little while to get warmed up again (losing your special meter)

Yep, there's some hipster pretentious PC talk coming out nowadays. I was told driving a car and complaining about traffic is white privilege. Driving a car.

I was going to say I pondered how stand up comedians are now the educators of language, which is fucking crazy.

Now I'm just going to say we need to start a war on hipsters.

Affording to drive a car has nothing to do with the color of your skin, which was my point...but I'm sure there's lots of racism in the automobile industry. I'm going to research it later because now I'm curious.

  White no insurance -no problem - I'm white and haven't been pulled over in maybe 5 years.  The last time it was cause someone called the cops saying I was drunk and driving dangerously.  The cop finds me -I got outta the car and he immeadeatly apologized and called me sir, "your obviously not drunk, have a good nite"  life's good, rite? "Honky dory do"  ( I was a call centre dude and a black man said that to me while eating chips he was so funny made my nite). Edit -sorry to rain on ur guy's parade with more "pc" talk. You guys are probably a bunch of dill holes.

Instead of making a thread I figured I’d ask here.

how do you fellas feel about a random person asking you to “try to skate” are you particular? Do you have a pet peeve? Or do you just let it happen and watch the hilarity ensue?

I would get annoyed with it but if it was shit deck that’s on it’s way out might as well have a laugh at their stupidity.

Once I became a home owner, I would basically refuse randoms from trying my board on the grounds that they could take me to court to sue me for their medical bills and I could lose my home. Grown up shit.

Not the socks sniff part but I do like the relieving feeling taking off shoes when leaving the old folks home.

I get sad for those people as a majority of patients/clients are there long term in that they aren't going back home. I'll hear stories of their wonderful abode and how they had it made and now their fortune has been taken over by their adults kids.

On the plus side if you do home hospice and say they will you their car or anything in their house it's a bonus however that's not what I do this for. I like elderly people as we can all learn from them and give them comfort in their final days.

In my 6th grade yearbook, there was a section where everyone wrote the answer to "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" My answer was, "I will be a professional skateboarder riding for Rhythm Skateboards." I never had a Rhythm board or didn't even know much about them and their team, so I'm curious why I chose that brand.

  I might go skate but not in a special go skate day way.  Like if I'm smoking weed at 4:20, its a coincidence.

I just saw a flyer for my city, it asked for everyone to meet at the main local skatepark then skate downtown together.
I won’t be participating in that but I will hopefully just skate with the couple friends I always skate with.

But if it's fakie, shouldn't the whole thing be backwards, including the push? I guess it doesn't matter.

How do I apologize to an old friend who’s trust I broke?

Will suicide ever be a viable option for me? Would overdosing on fentanyl be the most painless & surefire way to go?

Why am I so good at building things up, but extremely terrible at maintaining them?

Yeah I haven't seen anyone with real blow in about 15 years.

If I was going to dabble in stupid I would get like a ball see what comes back like then break the base down and bang that shit.

Sniffing blow is a waste it's always been a waste. May as well do it properly if you're going to be stupid. Boofin that shit is a mistake.

Just typing this post has me farting up a storm. There's no way coke is going to stay in my butt long enough to get high.

It's like when you been shooting dope for a while and your running partner is like I'm just going to do a bump. No you're sick. As soon as it goes up the straw your going to shoot gun barf all over the bus and the dope will be on the floor.

And not only change but completely flip the script numerous times.
When I first started skating, my parents wouldn't let me skate during the weekdays and would hold my board hostage. I ended up going to the skatepark anyway and borrowing boards from whoever would let me for at least a few tries each. It made it feel like I really had the tricks I had down if it was no longer dependent on the particulars of my own board. Skateboarding has gotten a lot more technical since then, but I always like to remember landing certain tricks regardless of how tight my friends trucks were or how heavy their board felt. Also, it helped me figure out how I wanted to dial in my trucks etc. too.

Nowadays, I feel like certain setups work better for my abilities that particular day so I have a quiver. Maybe I need something with more heft to it so wider and a little heavier will work for what I'm trying. Or mellower concave. etc. It's a weird process now, but I'm adjusting to being an elderly eccentric on a skateboard.

The business card scene from American Psycho, but instead it's the guys on the 9 Club, losing their minds obsessing over some pro's board setup

The WKND guys in their prime doing this would be amazing.

Why aren't Peeps just a year round candy? You can get them any time it seems, but I think it's just leftover from the previous year.

I just realized that by enabling the facial recognition and Apple Pay thing on my phone, I’ve increased the chances of some desperate thief tying me down and sawing my face off by about 100,000,000%.

I’m tied up in some basement somewhere, no fucking face... meanwhile this mother fucker is going around town using my face like an ATM card made of skin and blood.  Shit’s fucked.

tongue rings .. haven’t seen one in person or pop culture in a long time

That shit was stupid.

That 2gage custom cut cock toy made my voice push mongo.
Fucked up my teeth. It was expensive and painful to get to.

I went and did 2 bids with it. The first one I said it's super glued no problem.
Second time I had like 18 months to do and I was fighting out the gate.
They cut that shit out with fucking bolt cutters in the infirmity.

So back then we still got regular tooth brushes. I twisted the head and the body off the brush and jammed the neck of the brush through my tongue hole because I wasn't ready to say goodbye.

That fucking thing drilled a hole in the roof of my mouth.

The day I got out I was like take me to the piercing place give me a smoke and take me to the track. I had called ahead had another piece made for like $150
They measured the toothbrush I pushed into my face and hid for 10 months. Fuckee was over 00.

Made eating pussy super easy but it's definitely for cock sucking. Don't let anyone ever tell you differently

Got some heresay speculative news a roommate of mine might be moving out,  I feel like he's taking advantage of our kindness and ultimately using us as a means to an end. This is my nephew btw

What makes me super bummed out and disappointed is I've been down this road myself with an opportunity to make good with myself yet to have the carpet yanked from underneath me shortly thereafter, not going to lie I burned a lot of bridges in my lifetime through drugs me being shitty and lots of karmic justice that I rightfully deserved.

. I see this situation in the same path I once took as a person who wishes he could correct the same path I was on

I'm asking you PAL'S what would you do?
1. Help confront the situation in a delegate way
2. Give my blessing to not be butthurt as I'm sure he's going to have a lot of heartache.
3. Let him make his own choices and let that be that?
4. Approve of his decisions but warn him it's not as easy as it seems.

Edit he's 22 has a decent job at Aldi's but has been coddled his entire life fro Jordans and video games he's never had to ask for anything, pretty much grew up sheltered to the responsibilities of the world. Conflict resolution nope, chooses others when natural disaster strike's, and is either oblivious or a selfish fuck who uses people to his own end! What the hell should I do?!

Knowing more is painful.

Choosing this pain is growth.

Growth will liberate me from pain.

Liberation will empower me.

I can do hard things.

So you can find me,

Sittin’ on a sunbeam

Moving fast,

Relaxed.

Time is standing still,

Stop! I hug the past.

Thanks for the hospitality.

But I’m,

Shaking hands with my future,

Someday a friend I can embrace.

But I’ll take the time to let go

Remembering now, it’s time to grow.

Face into the light

Stars to calm the night

Love internal, thee

Love, eternaly

So I just finished that Booksmart movie (average) and can't seem to work out US school grades.

These girls were leaving school to go to college, that makes them 15/16 right? (about the same age I went to college in the UK). Yet that Ryan girl has crazy tattoos.

A. Does this mean you can get tattoos in the US at 16?
B. Are US schools cool with kids wearing whatever they want and displaying visible tattoos?
I once got suspended for shaving my head and my brother got sent home because his coat was black and not royal blue so visible tatts at school just seems insane to me.

Most of us go to college around 17/18 years old if they start and finish "on time." High school seniors are generally around this age, I graduated high school when I was 17, then began (never finished) college that age too.

You are allowed to get tattoos here under 18 years old, laws may vary by state. The only thing is, I think you have to be with your legal guardian/parent for them to tattoo you. I have a 16 year old niece with a tattoo already.

Most schools let you wear anything you want, within reason. Nothing provocative, no swear words, etc. I'm unsure about tattoo policies in schools right now, but I'm sure everything is ok as long as the tattoo isn't offensive or anything like that. Skirts and shorts for girls have to be a certain length, some schools dont let anybody wear tank tops, etc. It's pretty lenient. The exception is the occasional private school or military magnet type school where uniforms are necessary. In private schools, its usually khaki or black pants or skirt, with a white button up top. It really varies across the U.S.

A lot of schooling prior to high school here requires uniforms, but thats just around my area (east coast U.S.)

When I worked at an adult shop a guy came in and was asking about sounding, eventually he confessed that he had wanted to try but didnt want to spend the money on a surgical steel rod so he used ky jelly and a chopstick...

I agree, it’s probably going to age their footage terribly. 

I always like when skaters just skate in basic, nondescript shit because it’s so much easier to go back and watch.  Ricky Oyola’s EE3 is the first example that came to mind, since it looks more or less like it could have come out last week.  The cars are always the dead giveaway though.

Question: Would you don the accursed Red Bull hat if you were in their position?  I personally have zero scruples so I’d dress up as a giant Red Bull can if they told me to.

I'd like to believe I would never sell out that bad even if I had the choice. Just some good skateboard company sponsorships that paid enough to get by would be fine. I'd skip all the other stuff like energy drinks and chicken nuggets. Even now I'm not the type that's super hungry for a high-paying career and status and things like that. I'm happy with a relatively simple life though I'd like to own a house someday. But maybe that's why I never went pro other than the obvious lack of talent. I am just not that greedy or thirsty for recognition, which isn't to say I have no ambition at all. Just not to that degree.

Don’t sponsored skaters get sick of wearing/skating the same shit all the time?  Seems like it’d be a little bit of a bummer not being able to switch up trucks or woodshops if you felt like it.

I know it doesn’t rank very high in the pantheon of all the possible hardships a person might have to endure and is the pretty much the definition of a “first world problem”... It’d still be kind of annoying though.

I guess one of the benefits of being doo-doo at skating is that no one gives a fuck what trucks I’m riding... so I guess I dodged that bullet.

One of my greatest regrets is that I never sat on a carousel and high-fived all the bewildered passengers as I rolled past to celebrate the fact that we're still alive. Maybe if I give that a whirl next time then I'll start to appreciate them more.

I was just reading up on failure neurosis online and first thing, I pondered how frequent and widespread this has to be in professional skateboarding.

A simple definition I found, although there are sharper sources on the subject:

Quote
The failure neurosis can also express itself in a collective enterprise, such as when someone suddenly throws himself headlong into conflict with another, immobilizing the joint effort, or when a person decides to leave a cooperative, knowing very well that her departure will produce a crisis that will damage the success of the work.

The failure neurosis also manifests when, once the work is produced, one retrospectively demolishes it, perhaps by falling into a deep depression, or by sabotaging whatever is left to sabotage, like the publicity that will carry the project to the world.

The failure neurosis expresses itself as an indefinable malaise, feelings of guilt, the notion that one is ugly or incompetent in spite of all objective proof to the contrary. In extreme cases, the person kills himself or sinks into madness after having attained his goal.

The reason Zuckerberg will never do anything of consequence to spam or troll accounts is because it's part of his business model.

He has low cost troll farms built up offshore hired as a large scale astroturfing outfit. Along with making money from targeted ads, facebook is paid to target users to be trolled by the right department of trolls or to be fed a predetermined diet of propaganda.

For the truly simple minded and friendless, they are really interacting with nothing more than simplified AI that does nothing more than feed them a steady (though limited) diet of likes.

There are duplicates of your account being run by AI that you are blocked from seeing so you never see your digital doppleganger.

No way. I question the sources of your chimichangas.

Burritos are usually great. Even bad ones can be satisfying. Taking it up a notch by frying the whole thing only makes it better. As long as it's fried crispy and the inside isn't utter shit, I find that chimichangas is usually the best/safest offering of any Tex mex restaurant. That and fajitas.

Mastur,

Intrigued after reading your insight. Well the changas I had turn out so bland both taste + texture , forced to smother with hot sauce, enchilada sauce, guac, etc. At that point, might as well get enchiladas. You might be right, maybe never experienced a proper chimichanga. Also havent experienced a lot of Tex Mex.

Born and raised in Southern California, home of the burrito (they don’t even have that shit in Mexico) and NO ONE ever orders Chimichangas. We eat burritos multiple times a week. I went through a 10 year phase where I was eating burritos 10-1 to sandwiches. A burrito is a Sando here. (Yes I know about Tortas and no orders those either). Yes, this an extreme example, but much more accurate than you probably think.

Yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but as a general rule of thumb in my experience, not so much. I mean, of course there are burritos in MX. Like I also said, I was using an extreme example, and you are right that there is some presence of them down there, but it is mostly taco time.

Also, thanks for mentioning Taco Chronicles. Didn’t know this was a thing and looks promising. Cant wait to dive into it. Cheers to that.

I hope the giant of Kandahar story isn’t fake
[close]

Kandahar is a really fucking weird place, and while personally never witnessed a giant I’ve heard from dudes who have, or at least thought they had.

I’ve also been wondering how many people on here are also veterans.
Kandahar is a beautiful place not as nice as some places in Afghanistan, but my parents grew up there and that’s the first they’ve heard of giants lol, but people from that region are definitely much taller than most of Afghanistan. Hoping we get some peace soon so I can visit

I wonder if animals in the zoo think we’re the ones in a big ass cage.  And who’s to say that they don’t have a point?

Also, it’s pretty convenient that God went around to all the different religions and sects in the world and told them that they’ve got it right and everyone else is wrong.  Not trying to tell someone how to do their job, but it seems a little counterproductive.

Finally, when a rouge AI achieves sentience and takes over in 2029 and begins assembling cyborg soldiers in our image, will it bother with giving them genitals, or just skip over that part? I definitely know which one I’m rooting for.

Why is it a backside 180 nosegrind but a backside 180 switch manual?
Title: Re: Things You Pondered Today
Post by: Frank on November 24, 2020, 01:36:19 PM
Why is it a backside 180 nosegrind but a backside 180 switch manual?

it's kinda weird... my best guess:

bs 180 nosegrind=similar concept to bs bigspin noseslides or boardslides actually more being shove it nose/boardslides to fakie. the skater does a bs 180 with a nosegrind in the middle. trick name is not determined by orientation of the grind in this case, but in order of total body rotation of the ollie/flip trick and the trick done after the catch or after the initial trick has completed 50% progress or more. the grinds name is determined by what it would look like without the rotation in mind, so as if done regs.

this is one example of an alternate naming convention compared to just composite trick names that follow a dogmatic school of trick plus this way trick plus this way out trick, in favor of a more elegant and wholistic approach. it makes sense if you see the bs 180 more as beginning and also end to the trick instead of the two tricks as a linear sequence. the trick begins with a bs 180 and ends with fulfilling the bs 180, with the nosegrind happening in the middle.

my guess on why the sw manual isnt a fakie nosemanny would be that you can only get into a fakie nosemanny coming in fakie from the start. if you 180 into the same manual it's switch since if you popped out it would be a switch trick. with a bs 180 fakie manual it's fakie because if you would need to pop out like a fakie trick.

EDIT: the logic has flaws, like how fit fakie nosegrinds into this? so what are the rules to go fakie (nose-)manual(and grind)?

i would say there's two ways.

you have to approach fakie and either get straight on or 360.

you approach normally and rotate into a position that forces you to disengage from the manual in actual fakie stance, and only traditional fakie counts, meaning the only way to end up in any sort of fakie coming from regs is a fakie manual done on the truck you popped off, too. there just is no fakie nosemanual initiated by a 180 coming from regs.

similarly, when you nollie 180 into a sw manual, why is that not a fakie nose manny? because if you mirrored it and did it from fakie, like starting with a half cab, you end up in a regular manual, not a sw fakie nosemanual(lol). hence when mirrored sw stance it's also a manual, but switch.

This makes sense. So with a backside 180 nosegrind the backside 180 is not completed until you land it. But it seems like the same logic should apply to a manual too, unless you count the two wheels landing in the manual as the backside 180 being completed and the manual as a separate trick. If you did a backside 180 nosegrind, kickflip out, for instance, wouldn't it be a switch kickflip, not a nollie kickflip while grinding backwards? So, to pop out of that, even just an ollie, would be a switch trick, and the same goes for backside 180 switch manual. Or maybe not because there isn't a grind in the middle but the skater is rolling. But that seems like a weird distinction to make because the trick is still not completed until the person either lands the grind or the manual on all four wheels. Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter that much if everyone understands what these names mean. It's just sometimes I think skate trick naming is a little inconsistent or illogical but as long as there are conventions, it's fine.

Maybe in the future there will be only two, if everyone becomes stanceless and skates symmetrical boards: manual or nose manual. Then if a stanceless skater does a half-cab or nollie 180, it will always be backside or frontside and not backside half-cab/frontside nollie 180 or frontside half-cab/backside nollie 180. This stuff is kind of crazy to think about a lot. It's like how quantum physicists lose their minds from thinking too much about matter and shit.

That's a very conservative way of looking at it, and it's something people say a lot about tattoos. So do you plan on keeping yourself as well preserved as possible until you're a senior citizen? No matter what you're gonna age. If you take care of yourself, maybe you'll age a little better than those who lead rougher lives. But your skin is still gonna get all wrinkly, saggy and spotted anyway. What difference will tattoos make? Will old tatted people somehow have worse looking old person skin? I don't think it matters that much, and it's never made me question getting a tattoo I wanted.

It’s so weird to imagine what all those people who are all tatted up are going to look like as senior citizens.
[close]

That's a very conservative way of looking at it, and it's something people say a lot about tattoos. So do you plan on keeping yourself as well preserved as possible until you're a senior citizen? No matter what you're gonna age. If you take care of yourself, maybe you'll age a little better than those who lead rougher lives. But your skin is still gonna get all wrinkly, saggy and spotted anyway. What difference will tattoos make? Will old tatted people somehow have worse looking old person skin? I don't think it matters that much, and it's never made me question getting a tattoo I wanted.
[close]

Don’t let me stop you from enjoying tattoos on the elderly.  Call me old-fashioned, but I’m just saying that I’d be taken aback if I saw some 87 year old man with this scribbled all over his throat:
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/82/96/ac/8296acd34265038bcdaf47ef379292a3.jpg)

It’s my problem to overcome, not theirs.

I can see what you mean when it's someone who's fully covered in tattoos. That might look a little eerie once their skin really starts to age. I was thinking more of people with a few tattoos.

One thing I pondered today is whether you can buy just the plastic DVD holder that comes in cardboard, book style (DigiPak) DVD jewel cases. I ordered a used DVD but that part is missing from the jewel case, so the DVD is just freestanding. I guess I could rip one out of some other DVD that I don't care for, but it would be better if I could just buy that part and glue it in.

Oh, never mind. Looks like you can buy those things. They're called inserts/trays.

What music/bands from this era will be considered, "Classic" when we're like 80?  Like the way older people talk about the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, etc.  Will there be classic hip-hop, like 80 year old people sitting around saying things like, "I remember when there was real music like Young Jeezy and 3-6 Mafia."

So far I can see Nirvana, Metallica, RHCP, Pearl Jam, Public Enemy, Outkast, Jay-Z, Nas, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Some country guys, a bunch of others.  I'm not a fan of all these artists, but they have that mass appeal.

I wonder if Data from Star Trek next generation could pick up skateboarding quickly.

I feel it would be like really soulless tho. He would hit a wall with the emotional content. Like my 20 year battle for switch Tre. Data would never get the point of style.
He would not flow like water or move like fire on a nice slow accelerant across a floor.
He wouldn't understand my connection with skatespots.
Data would not understand the aural pleasure of diamond plated metal.
The ping of a hand rail.
The grind tone of a 101a wheel on salt pitted black Top.

He would never leave the park. Soul less.

I wonder what Data would wear. I would paint him into a juggalo hype beast and misappropriate redesign the culture and tax the fuck out of data star trek dunks for non skaters.

I have a 2.5 year old daughter and I can't imagine what kind of technology she's going to have access to when she's in high school/college. 

I remember when my parents got a dvd player and it was high tech.  Renting dvds from Blockbuster.  We had dial-up internet (AOL all day) and if someone was on the computer, you couldn't use the phone.  Cell phones were crazy expensive.  I had one, but it was only for, "Emergencies."  In college, I lived in a nine bedroom house with one phone line.  Laptops were for true ballers and like the size of a VCR.  When I was a senior in college I started dating a freshman who lived in the dorms and the high speed internet blew my mind.

Now we basically have a computer/camera in our pocket at all times, electric cars, so many social media platforms, etc.  I can't imagine what it is going to be like for her in 15-16 years.  I'm excited and terrified at the same time.

I picked up some empty bingo dabbers, 8oz Nalgene squeeze bottles, and a quart of automotive grade clear coat.

I'm hoping to fashion some sort of device where I can salba sauce some local spots that are in high public view. The rattle and spray of the standard clear coat can would be a hard feat to pull off. I've used the same bingo dabbers with thinner liquids for graffiti reasons, yet this one will be an experiment. I'll report back with details if it works.


edit:

For clarification, I'm taking the valve out of the bingo dabber. The nalgene 8oz will be in combo with a tiny paint brush.

Bingo dabbers are classic but with the squeeze bottles make sure its on real tight and thin it out before if you have to otherwise the top will come off not of. Problem with nalagene squeeze bottles is that theyre way easier to squeeze than how well the top stays on. Things with strong twist tops like gatorade bottles work the best but you just have to squeeze harder. Fr though just out on a orange vest and use a can

I gotta stop being mean. Thats what im working on these days

they live mighty long as well, i like that. just initial cost might be an issue. there is no enclosure big enough for them, has to be made diy, and that would take up a lot of room. but they don't wreck as many things as cats, let alone dogs, and are pretty hardy and apparently have less diseases than cats and dogs, so the costs might even out.

I believe it's because that style of obstacle was so ubiquitous at those big late 90s/early 2000s European contests

Someone should do a little show or something where they discuss where trick names and other little skate lingo and trends started. Loveletters was kind of like that, but it was mostly just Grosso talking about what he thought was cool and lame.

That makes sense.

Yeah, I immediately thought of Grosso when I started reading that. It would definitely have to be another OG like him who starts some show or series like that.

i just had the thought and i assume it's ignorant and i haven't looked into yet, but why not share...

so ten pin bowling is a thing {a sport?}.
i am assuming there is professional bowling. i'm aware that people play amateurly. so yeah whatever, it just doesn't seem that hard. i'm not great at bowling but i've bowled some strikes and stuff, i think most people have. i have gone bowling less than twenty times in my life i would say}. i've seen random people, like people that were in my school class when we did bowling or my brother for example, who also don't bowl but are a lot better than i am and don't find it that hard to get strikes most of the time/often. they don't play, they don't practice, they just turn up and do that. bowling just doesn't seem that hard. fun, but not hard, which is totally fine and cool and great and i'm not trying to fuck with it.

but if you actually practiced bowling you'd obviously be considerably better than the randoms i know, who to my mind are quite good at it. so like, how good can you be? is professional bowling just the first to make a mistake loses? is amateur bowling kind of the same? am i way off?

sorry i had to write so much to get my point across, i'm not sure if it was necessary.

To me there’s two types of bowlers in the world:

-the people that have some sort of accoutrement on their hand and can make the ball curve and take that shit seriously

-people like me that get a running start from behind the seats and throw the heaviest ball they can as hard as they can straight down the middle and then watch what happens.

I recently watched Hamilton Morris' podcast with Eric Andre and I enjoyed it a lot. What I wondered though, was this online chat that we all have to deal with seams like it makes people stop and actually process what people have said, and they give a better answer or remark than what they would have if it was given live.

Basically what I'm saying is, are there any other good things to come out of this pandemic besides " wash your hands doo doo head"?

sorry i had to write so much to get my point across, i'm not sure if it was necessary.

I suck at bowling, like am absolutely abhorrent at the game but have a lot of memories at the bowling alley.

Most of family bowled in leagues and shit from the 70s until the local ten pin shut down a few years back. It was a community thing- hang out with friends/family, get drunk (bowling alley had the cheapest drinks anywhere), smoke weed, have cheap entertainment, fun, and release competitive energy. As someone who grew up around people who bowled at least once a week, what I can say is that to be consistently good at bowling is hard as fuck and takes a lot of practice. My Dad is an upper mid range bowler, probably 180 average. He's bowled one 300 (all strike) game in all the years. He's a dude that's above average, but not pro/sponsored grade (with the exception of road racing) at every game he plays. Talented, focused, and competitive. If he didn't use every game as a to get shit faced, he'd be even better. My uncle is a slightly better bowler who has bowled numerous 300 games but he's a hyper competitive athlete, one of those dudes that was a beast at every game he plays- horseshoes, darts, softball, volleyball, golfing, fuck, even his job of framing houses. Like all those other games, the dude bowled at least 1 day per week for a 3 or so hour long stretch, for decades. Like I said, to bowl well with consistency is hard as fuck.

In a league, they generally bowl 3 games per match. there's 10 frames per game, I think with the possibility of throwing 3 extra balls at the 10th frame- so that's, max, 26 balls at the end of a game, 78 balls bowled at the end of the night. Those balls probably weigh 14-16lbs. That's a lot of work and you'll see a lot of long time bowlers wearing wrist braces. Then, like when shooting pool, there's techniques like spin and English that get put on the ball.

Pretty sure to qualify as a pro you need 205 average.

I ponder this pretty often, because I eat a lot of bananas, but I saw on Japanese TV once that chimpanzees peel bananas from the end without the stem and I was wondering if that's the better way to do it. I vaguely remember doing that as a kid but I changed it up when everyone else was doing it the other way. I guess that makes me more simian than other people. Anyway, maybe I'll start peeling bananas that way too because captive chimpanzees seem like they know a thing or two about eating bananas. I just have to remember to do it next time.

thank you for your response. a guy i work with bowls once or twice a week i think, he pointed out a few weeks ago that they have the cheapest drinks anywhere in town. i don't drink so i don't really care, but that's an interesting consistency.

just for clarification, i don't find bowling easy myself. i totally suck. i just assumed people who were good must be like, perfect. i hope your dad can pull another 3oo at some point. sorry you lost your bowling alley.

lot of people have died from cars and skateboards. not sure if anyone died just skateboard and obstacle. likely on hills.

a guy around here died skating down a hill a few years ago. he wasn't a friend of mine or any other "skaters" from the area, so i guess it was just a dude that skated for transport or whatever. but yeah, the most psychotic hill you could ever imagine trying to skate which leads me to the presumption that he was also drunk. it was like 6/6:3o in the morning.

for some reason i only ever drive up it and never down it - which i guess gives me more time to think undesired about skating down that hill and dying. it's fucking hectic.

just got me thinking about people dying while skateboarding but not because of the skateboarding...imagine if Koston spontaneously combusted while back noseblunting hubba...

Why does neopolitan ice cream even exist? surely you'd just buy a small tub of strawberry ice cream if that's what you're into.

Something I ponder when I'm on here is SLAP in real life.

Like, if we were all at a skatepark at the same time and most of us didn't really know each other but somehow were having lots of heated/petty/boastful/funny conversations. I don't know like, I used to picture cheetahsheets in real life coming up and bothering me while I skate. Or like, I saw some dudes arguing over guns the other day somewhere here and I just see them taking turns skating a very small ledge/manual pad and in between goes sort of having their defensive little argument that is going nowhere.

I think I first had the thought during maybe the Kenny Anderson abuse thread and just watching a bunch of skaters share a session but also discussing toxic masculinity/whether a great backside tailslide can absolve one of heinous human behaviour and there are people on both sides...

I haven't explained it great, but it's a cute thought, try it out sometime.

i was thinking about austin powers for some reason - and then i thought about a scene where he's about to have sex with some japanese twins i think. then my mind did a little wander...

is there anything wrong with consensual lesbian incest? like, if two sisters were positively in love with each other and let's say twins even {so you can't argue any age difference coercion or possible grooming} and wanted to be in a sexual relationship and be married and blah blah all the jazz you can do. obviously, it's peculiar but it has no capacity for inbreeding which i guess it what really makes you weird out at incest. also in a social/mental developmental sense it's obviously unhealthy to want to be with someone in your family, but for the hypothetical here, imagine that these sisters are well adjusted people with friends and jobs and hobbies and lifestyles. {not sure why i've made this example feminine and not just generally gay - could just as easily be brothers}

a weird thought, but a thought no less.

why did childhood get banned? mods are wilding out like nick cannon.
does tonycoxhox still get notifications when someone posts on a thread he made in 2009?

Anybody else got any questions? Keep asking if you wanna end up like @assplay jay  and @childhood .

Never done like straight up "bath salts", but I definitely had a summer where I was doing a lot of kinda sketchy molly, that I'm pretty certain had synthetic cathinones mixed in it.

They still gave me a lot of the positive aspects of molly, just to a lesser degree, but definitely had a more anxious & less clean feel to it, in comparison to the higher quality molly I've done. Also had a much harsher, more depleted feeling the next day.

In most cases, I don't think they make you go totally crazy, like some of the more sensationalism news coverage makes them seem, but still not something you should be doing really.

No joke, tonight I got given a pressed molly pill for free when I bought a bunch of pot, but somehow lost it as I walking to the train.

The pill was really tiny, when he gave it to me I was even half-thinking "I bet I'm gonna lose this thing". Still sucks though, I was already pretty excited to do it this weekend.

I like Hondas then Datsun/Nissan and then I go in for  everything else.

To me there's nothing cooler than a crx with a good b swap
 
I like zc swaps too but I bet those are so old no one fucks with them.

I'm surprised I can still build b motors.

I'll take whatever I can score. I'd even do another d16y5. Thats a dope motor. Sohc VTEC -E.

there's one of trump dancing that's hilarious. but he actually dances the trump so it ain't too far off.
guess it's up to the writers to make the impressionist funny. just looking like, say elvis, isn't inherently funny.

Why are there so many legal stimulants like Coffee/Tea, sodas, Monster/Red Bull, Energy Pills, etc. things that get you hyped.  But so few legal things that help you chill.  We got weed legal some places, I can't do it b/c the nature of my work, but then all we have are things like Chamomille Tea, Valarian Root, Sleeping pills, Booze, etc. to mellow out with..  I would love the opposite effect of a Monster or Red Bull if I could buy it at the grocery store and not get in trouble.

Do those Japanese steakhouses where the chef does a little show have really high insurance premiums?  It just seems like there’s a lot that could go wrong with all the hot surfaces, 4ft tall flames, knives, sake and flicking bits of shrimp into a stranger’s mouth.

And think about what it’d be like to be one of those chefs going through some sort of personal crisis but having to show up, put on a happy face and perform for a bunch of dumb fucks.

Dude just found out his daughter is addicted to OxyContin and he’s staring at some moron with his mouth wide open waiting for them to flick some seafood in there.  That’s gotta be tough.

My man!
I can fully relate to the daydreaming bit, I get mad stoned sometimes and look at private islands you can buy and those brabus cars and movie props, art auctions, yachts, just hectic shit ahaha

I am in a couple syndicates with mates and I often get tickets for just myself, too

No shit my ex and I used to play the same numbers and one week we forgot and they came up, I can’t remember exactly but maybe 1.4 mil so not enough to stop working but would have been super helpful
I remember we were so shocked and upset we just said nah we’re not gonna discuss this haha. She threw up but I didn’t. I could have though. What can you do.

Mate won 88 grand a few years ago and got it to something like almost a mil with crypto. It kinda consumed him though we’d be working and the cunt would be frigging around on his laptop. He lost a bunch of that money though

Dad’s mate got 4 mil on keno years ago and this old bloke I used to work with won, I can’t remember but it was a few mil. My parents won too when I was a kid but not like millions or anything

I guess I’m just trying to say people win this shit every day, I hope you and I both come up one day mate

I smash those prize home tickets too, the rsl art unions and stuff the odds are way better and couple times a year the prize is a small block of units, that’s good enough I reckon

With all due respect @layzieyez I have bad news about the amount of rapes that are reported...

Also, Buffy ended 18 years ago and the allegations against Joss Whedon are coming out now. 4 years ago you could have said, "I'd imagine many of the Buffy stars would come forward at this point like people are doing with Harvey Weinstein if he diddled them".

Also "being a hothead with a foot fetish" that encourages children to send photos of their feet via twitter and take their shoes off in TV auditions seems like huge red flags to me?

i play when it gets over 90m and think about what im going to do WHEN i win a lot.  don't worry.  I've already planned out PalsCon1. One part children's skateboard party, one part typical convention with guest speakers and meet-and-greets from old pros.  maybe a trade show aspect to it too.  don't worry Industry- booth space is free but please be creative, obviously Jenkem gets total uninhibited press passes, and Bunt and 9club will be given space to do a live show on the condition that do a no holds barred Q&A sesh together at some point.  i have not decided on a location yet but since so many of you fuckers have criminal records ill keep the first one stateside (in a place with legal weed).  ill comp international pals in good standing for flights and transport. Rusty's dad is for sure getting VIP status.

people have different theories/suggestions on what works best. I've been told anywhere from 1/10 of what you'd take to trip down to 100mg. I'm certainly not tripping or getting high on 100mg, but after a few weeks of an every 3days dosing cycle, I'm seeing positive effects for sure. Might up it to 200mg just to see what happens, but like I was told, in the immediate sense 100mg is kind of a boost similar to a cup of coffee that stays with you throughout the day and lifts the mood and ability to focus. I'm curious regarding the long term effects too, but right now I'm very pleased with the long lasting pick me up.

most concepts about alien life in popular sci fi suck ass.

like in star wars. fucking wookies, are you kidding me? that's what you come up with. some manbeardog? it's so lazy. why would an alien species come out like this? any sci-fi with humanoid earth-animal hybrids seems ridiculous to me. also, staying with star wars here, why would all these alien races adopt the human way of doing commerce? there's always some inherently greedy capitalist type alien race that holds all the power in the galactic market because for some reason they are super cunning and are better at capitalism than humans. then you always have some sort of reptilian race, some insectoids, some squidmonsters. it's so dumb and clearly illogical. of course they are almost always the same size as humans, too.

generally how every alien race seems to have this super homogenized culture while simultaneously being in a galactic federation of sorts seems absurd to me. it's pretty much just space fantasy. also how would something like capitalism or market competition even be a thing in these types of post-scarcity societys? other than that any form of interstellar or intergalactic trade seems super futile from a logistics perspective. seeing how these sci fi societys never seem to run out of energy and probably already reached kardashev level 2, why would you need stuff from another system? at that point in technology, they should be able to 3d print anything out of whatever matter. there would be no need to transport anything unless it's a very rare element you couldn't produce artificially at that point(super unlikely since we already can produce a lot of exotic particles in particle accelerators right now), and then that only makes sense within a star system.


stuff like dune, where there is pretty much no sentient alien life at all or at least no contact has been made, seems much more plausible in terms of hard sci fi. but that's probably boring to most. the most realistic scenario is that humanity is dead 200 years from now and we have some probes floating around the galaxy for whatever alien civilization that comes after us to possibly find. and we'll never make it further than titan within our own system imo. but personally i doubt that we will ever successfully colonize another planet or moon. i am pretty sure we're dead set on dying out here on earth.

A full list of everything wouldn't have been available until the creation of the internet presumably. Additionally, what inedible thing has poisoned and killed the most people in human history? I would assume some type of mushroom or maybe a poisonous fish, idk though, just speculation from someone with almost no related education.

this is a terrible idea that can only be posted in this thread really - it would be interesting if there was some sort of base part for pro skaters. i thought about this when people were doing the "BEST SKATER" threads and being that skating is as subjective as it is, it's really unquantifiable.

so it could be interesting if there was like a 2 minute part that everyone put out that was the same part. i guess you could only do this idea in a skatepark that was symmetrical for fs/bs/goofy/natural.

anyway, a terrible idea that is full of holes and is completely unnecessary but there it is.

Was having lunch with my wife today and was in a conversation about something and for some reason I thought about the last light I went through on the way to the restaurant. If I had stopped at that light and waited the 30 seconds or whatever until it turned green, would we be having the same exact conversation during lunch? Or would something we said during that time waiting for the light to change completely shift the future of our overall conversation? I guess that's kind of like the butterfly effect on a much smaller scale, but made me curious.

it's when you're sweaty and your knee or upper leg starts to rub on or cling to the pants so you pull it up a little to give your leg more room to move. this is more a problem with heavier fabrics or pants that are very long and stack a lot where the mass at your feet drags the pant down even more than just gravity alone.

My homie swilly dog got saved. He was hell on wheels shooting meth up Danny Fields ass when he was 14 running around the country hustling in the city.

He would be pissed about you suggesting this idol stuff. Swill is  only celebrating the lord everyday. He would make sure that you know what it takes to be saved how to worship proper.
He's down to watch some crazy anime porn or play some banjo from time to time. Then go repent.

Post by: Madam, I'm Adam on May 22, 2021, 08:32:58 PM
I’ve had the idea for awhile of an indoor skatepark that’s essentially a building with a couple of skateable stories. Like imagine buying an abandoned school or something and then renovating it to put ledges, curbs, stairs, rails, wallrides inside it. Each story has a different setup. I mean I think everyone’s had the same idea but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. Does a park like that exist?

Can being super jacked and having good style coexist in a skater?

That’s a very good question. Depends on how lithe they are plus how loose their clothes are. I don’t think it’s impossible. Just a bit of a mindfuck to think about.

In high school I was driving home from a friends house late around midnight. There were barely any cars out and I turned into the left turn lane at a red light and the only other car was going straight on my right. It was some super beat up Honda with spray painted dots all over it and some really poorly spray painted "DOWNTOWN CLOWN" on the bumper. I stopped next to it, looked over, and straight out of a fucking movie, a dude fully in clown makeup at midnight did the slowest neck turn to look at me, and just stared at me. I quickly turned away and the next 5 seconds until the light changed felt like 10 minutes. I'm a little bitch, I know, but fuck clowns. That scared the shit out of me.

Haha holy shit.  I’d have been scared too.  But with the description of the car, it almost sounds like a real-life Homey D. Clown.

Texas passed that heartbeat law on the concept that life starts then, but if Christians were to read their bibles just once they would know that it says life doesn’t start until your first breath. Biblical the “breath of life” is what animates ad’am from mud in genesis  and brings people that were dead back to life  in revelations. A heartbeat can be detected in 6 weeks in which some women still may not even know if they are pregnant but lungs aren’t formed in fetus till about 26 weeks (second trimester) and really the lungs aren’t even breathing air until the baby is actually born. So evangelicals are just attacking women’s rights with absolutely no base other than blatant misogyny.

You should listen to this podcast from NPR on The Evangelical vote. It goes deep into the birth of evangelicalism and how their allegiance to the republican party became so intense. Super interesting because they weren't even that opinionated on abortion and it was used as a political tactic and a narrative to attract more people to their side. Really fascinating info on abortion and the evolution of evangelicals harsh opposition to it.

@RCB3 that was a insightful listen. It’s crazy to think these people actually want to bring upon an apocalypse and we let them make policies regarding our collective futures. Imagine an alternative universe where the evangelicals fully backed carter instead of nixon.

Why is Logan Paul fighting Floyd Mayweather? Why is Floyd Mayweather fighting Logan Pual? Will I see a 45 year old man break the ribs of a insufferable cunt. Betting on it. Chance floyd separates this kids skull from.his spinal column, not entirely out of the realm of possibility. On the contrary, what if this kid wins. Even if fixed, what in the fuck will be the point of all this. Certainly Logan Paul just gonna cash out off a beat down but still i don't know what to think. Arsken taking an L cause he never got a bag made sense. This fight, even if it just a money grab I don't see either man's reputation coming unscathed regardless the fight goes. Fuckin never been more perplexed by something as silly as boxing. The shit rad don't get me.wrong but I never thought I'd be having an existential crisis over this. Shits wild.

The first flight of and airplane was in 1903.
66 years later in 1969 a man walked on the moon. Humans can do amazing things. We are obviously different then other animals.  Why is that? What is pulling us out of nature and molding us in it’s image?
Will we evolve into some sort of cyborgs? Will
Humans and machine eventually become the same thing?  The phone is going to crawl in our faces. I can see that coming for sure. Will it be  A parasitic relationship or a symbiotic one?

Yeah I don't like violence for sport.

I have a question for anyone who knows stuff about raccoons.

So my brother has been feeding raccoons for like 2 years. Most moved on but there's one that comes around still. I got cornered by it. It was not acting aggressive but it was definitely showing it's teeth a little and making funny noises while waiting for a snack.
I had to throw it food to get past it because I don't feed them and I understand raccoon behavior.
I have always been cautious around them.

I think it was saying feed me or I'll bite you. They think it was copying human behavior to get food.

I once read that if primates hadn’t evolved into humans and became the earths dominate species it is  likely that raccoons or even bears would have made that leap. I always thought their little hands where neat.

racoons are highly intelligent, confident, and good at reading body language. You need to approach the situation logically, remembering that one of your legs is as thick with muscle as its whole body, kicking it gives you about a 3 foot range advantage, and the little beast has stubby arms and would have to attack you face first in order to do any damage. If it steps to you again remember that its no contest, go about your business and don't hesitate to take a swipe at it if it gets too close.

That seems like torture (fairly mild, but still somewhere on the torture spectrum): you’re standing in one spot all day so your legs are probably quite stiff, you do as close to nothing as humanly possible; but you can never fully space-out into la la land because you have to maintain some base level of vigilance.  I bet that makes 8 hours feel like 16.

I always feel that George Costanza impulse when he got that doorman a chair.

You’re also not really overcoming anything or figuring anything out or working towards achieving any goal.  Probably don’t have many interesting stories to tell when you get home.

You are probably lowest on the totem pole with whoever is around.  No one really respects you too much because they all have skills and trades and know how to actually do shit.  You’re just holding a sign, something Terri Schiavo could have probably pulled off.

You’d probably get death stares from a solid 20-30% of the drivers that pass you since you are a small cog in the machinery that conspired to hold up their day. 

I think I would also wonder what people were on their way to do.  Maybe they are in the middle of the adventure of a lifetime, meanwhile you’ve got 6 more hours of standing with a sign in front of you.

Sorry for the long post, but as you can see, I’ve put a great deal of thought into this subject for some reason.

No man, it would be fun. I know it would be fun. I just want to hold the damn sign. I've already got my move; once I turn the sign to SLOW, I'll give the car a smirk and use my to point them in the right direction (behind me). If I get some enthusiastic stoppers, I'll give em a big windmill motion when I switch to SLOW They'll want to hire me back for making the stupid job more fun, but I'll just thank them and go on living my life doing other shit.

I got too high to drive, so I pulled over to wait it out.

Started thinking about jaguars and how, in the absence of tigers or lions, they tend to be much larger and stronger than leopards (who they share many physical features of, at least superficially), and are the apex predator wherever they are, filling a similar niche as tigers. So I started googling the evolution of big cats.

 (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Two_cladograms_for_Panthera.svg/800px-Two_cladograms_for_Panthera.svg.png)

i've thought of a half cab crooks nollie flip out in my head many times before (a dream trick, out of my skill level obvs) until shane o neil casually did it in a line sometime these past 2 years ago. mindblown. and yeah it looks neat but that's classic shane oneill he makes anything neat.
and i recall Styn gillette pulling that half cab crooks forward (on a bench i believe) also in a line,  sometime in 2020 or 2019. looks just how you imagine, neat.

Anyway, it felt amazing, and people should include halfway dead BBS on Indies, HCL on thunders, 7.5 on venture los setups in those yuppie break stuff places. Y'know where you pay to Office Space a printer?

Does anyone do half cab crooks flip out? That one might work, I mean not for me but it might look ok...also does anyone do half cab crooks to forwards? Not the full rotor way but frontside out of the crooks
I feel it might look nice like those 180 nosegrinds to forward look nice

Don’t think I seen those ones, maybe they look shit idk
[close]
i've thought of a half cab crooks nollie flip out in my head many times before (a dream trick, out of my skill level obvs) until shane o neil casually did it in a line sometime these past 2 years ago. mindblown. and yeah it looks neat but that's classic shane oneill he makes anything neat.
and i recall Styn gillette pulling that half cab crooks forward (on a bench i believe) also in a line,  sometime in 2020 or 2019. looks just how you imagine, neat.

is there any empirical evidence or solid research behind the benefits of seminal retention (no fapping/ no nutting)? are there any actual proven advantages from not chocking da chicken or not spreading the dressing for long periods of time, or could it be just some internet fad challenge

the half cab crooks back to fakie is pretty common I think ? Here is one at 1:55 :

Is this true? Will my postcard arrive to its destination? why is the USPS such a pain in the ass with all their fucking rules and restrictions?

You’re screwed!  Postcards are their own thing and cost less postage than a letter.  You tried to send a postcard WITH a letter attached to it.

The smart thing to do is send a letter without a stamp but put the destination as the return address.  Remember those stupid rules you mentioned? 

I was just pondering how when I’m on my deathbed one of my fondest memories will be years bonding with my teenage daughter over Family Guy.

Makes it sound hella easy, too. Like, I’m just going to rip a hole and it’s going to be your new butthole. It’s gotta be more complicated than that. You’d have to re-wire the whole butt tube to make the new hole a butthole, otherwise, it’s just a hole.

How could she contribute any theoretical Jewishness if by those rules, she herself is not Jewish?


I was pondering that whenever you hear about when a murderer poses as their victim and texts their friends/family some vague message about running off to Costa Rica to “figure some things out” to help cover their tracks, why do they always fuck it up so bad?

It never uses the same vocabulary and patterns as the victim, there’s always spelling and grammatical mistakes and the story almost never makes any sense whatsoever. 

I can understand fucking up a 911 call or news interview since they only have one shot at it and they have to do some serious calculations and acting, and it’s not like they can just call time out to go diagram some shit out real quick.

But with texts, you’ve got some time to research the victim’s past texts, run a quick spellcheck if necessary, come up with a better story than meeting a dude at a gas station and deciding to run off with them.  That text message is so fucking important and is going to be scrutinized by whole teams of law enforcement.  They’re going to into tear into every letter of that thing and turn it inside out so that mf better be good.  Get your fucking shit together, murderers.

I don't think it's that simple. Jewish is both an ethnic group and a religion. You can have Jewish DNA (e.g., Ashkenazi or Sephardic) and that's how racism against Jewish people can exist (anti-Semitism). You can also practice the religion of the Jews, Judaism. So you can have ethnically Jewish people who don't practice Judaism, and non-ethnically Jewish people who do. I asked the question because I was wondering what the laws or rules are among fully ethnically and religiously Jewish people for this kind of thing, being that it seems fairly complicated.

Pondering sobriety. Would we all be better off if we were just sober all the time? I smoked a shit ton of weed for a while, kinda regret it cause it was a handicap and cost a lot of money. It was like a phone bill, expensive but I didn't really question it.

Sometimes though I want to feel some sort of buzz at the end of the day. Wondering if that's normal and healthy or just a crutch, some leftover feeling from years of being stoned. A little beer ain't so bad but messes with sleep and makes you fat. There's kratom but that's kinda a weird gas station legal high that mimics an opiate. And there's always good ol weed but I wonder if I'd just fall into old habits again.

Anything stronger is just for dabbling at most, ain't nobody functioning on the hard shit for long. Can't really be doing psychs on the reg either unless you're a real astronaut.

Kratom is amazing and not just some fluffy legal high. It's a huge shame that people really want to use it to treat their opiate addictions but it's not legal in many countries.

As far as we know, all the matter and energy that make up every single atom in our bodies has been around since the Big Bang and will, presumably, be around until the universe evaporates due to complete heat death.  Pretty fucked up if you think about it.

There’s also some quote that says (paraphrasing) that our thoughts and consciousness is the universe becoming aware of itself.  Also kind of spooky.  To me anyways.

Actually pretty much everything about the universe is fucking freaky, come to think of it.

You can set your LinkedIn profile now to tell people you would rather be followed than connect with people. Some of the people on LinkedIn with their accounts set up this way must be fucking delusional if they think I'm  going to follow their accounts, as if they were important influencers like Warren Buffett or Elon Musk or something.

Kook me for being more core than thou, but the BaKu is right about rejecting pro idolization and I realize this the more I hang on slap. I just personally can’t be riding around on someone’s name that I don’t know. A pro is stranger. In reference to the daan on homophobia thread that popped of. I just wish more skaters were actually into diy and just screened their own bloards. You’ll never be bummed looking at your bloard if you made it yourself. Stop putting faith on people you don’t know.

my musical partner was in slap long ago. It was an article about child musicians.

His band was called "heavy friends" there was a few photos etc. Blink (182) was in the same article. I would luv to find the article to print for him.

If anyone could help me with info on how to find the article that would be so nice.

Personally I view that as smushing someone’s anal cavity all over the insides of your nose and lungs.  If you breathe it through your mouth you’re basically eating their shit.  Fortunately I’m OK with all of that, but holding hands with them is too intimate for me so that freaks me out.

I don’t think so. I think it makes you one of the “buy local, farm to plate” people. I try to do the same, for the most part. Why bother sourcing aluminum from Canada to ship to China to produce trucks just to send them to the US to be sold?

Seems like you’d want something really streamlined so the blows of the massive beast would glance off instead of grabbing hold.  Like even if the spikes hurt the polar bear, all that force of the fierce animal’s large arm and paws would probably break your neck.

Maybe looking cool was the higher priority.  But what do I know, I’m not a polar bear armor expert.

Distracted habit. Speed almost doesn’t matter. A certain percent of the population just match the speed of the car in front of them and follow too close. They’re not even thinking-total auto pilot.

That makes sense, most cars' top gear hits around 3000 RPM around 60 mph.  Having the engine above that generally means lower economy.

I like when people are like "hey i have this thing for you to work on can you do it asap." and i get it done straight away then chill. i am good at that. give me the scariest thing that no one else wants to do... ill do it. i do all these sketchy forklift jobs for people all the time lol. have had so many close calls.  I am not good at creating my own work though.

 I always wanted a job where I could just hide and do nothing, and now I have it, I am kinda bored of it. Thinking about getting into something else possibly but its scary.

I make enough money I can own a house + pay for everything, fairly comfortable, any money my wife makes goes to savings but now its kinda messed with this rone dog running so rampant. might have to consider taking 2 kids out of school in a few months - its probably fairly realistic that will happen.

not sure what i should do. have been just working on this skate video and trying to do a lot of reflecting but its still not really clear to me what i should do next. I have been trying to just spend as much time with my wife + kids as possible and just enjoying skating and online video games. its like, do i really need to get more ahead? do i need to change anything? should my wife quit her job in the winter / take a leave of absense to teach the kids when covid gets bad again? will just have to wait and see.

Probably not an original thought but:

It’s crazy how all of our memories and thoughts are just some particular assortment of chemicals and electric pulses sloshing away in our brain…. That they are an actual, physical thing that exists and takes up space and has mass.

So somewhere in there, there’s some little cul de sac of neurons (or whatever it is) that allows me to remember the gnarly, hairy mole on my 2nd grade teacher’s face.  And another for watching my father drunkenly desecrate a Native American grave site.

I’m not some brain researcher, so I really don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about and might be making a bunch of wrong assumptions.  But if all that shit I said was true, and if memories are at least partially made up of regular old atoms, does that mean that a memory weighs something?  How many memories would a large Scandinavian gentleman have to deadlift on ESPN2 to win the title of world’s strongest man?  If someone memorizes a bunch of shit, will they get a heavy-ass head?  Is anyone still reading this?

Here in New England my favorite pizza joints almost always have pictures of Greece on the wall.  When you see a picture of Mykonos with ultra-white buildings on a hill you have found your pizza joint.  Not too thin, not too thick, a bit of sweetness in the sauce and just the right amount of grease.

Other thought for the day….plant DNA and human DNA are made from exactly the same stuff.

Probably not an original thought but:

It’s crazy how all of our memories and thoughts are just some particular assortment of chemicals and electric pulses sloshing away in our brain…. That they are an actual, physical thing that exists and takes up space and has mass.

So somewhere in there, there’s some little cul de sac of neurons (or whatever it is) that allows me to remember the gnarly, hairy mole on my 2nd grade teacher’s face.  And another for watching my father drunkenly desecrate a Native American grave site.

I’m not some brain researcher, so I really don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about and might be making a bunch of wrong assumptions.  But if all that shit I said was true, and if memories are at least partially made up of regular old atoms, does that mean that a memory weighs something?  How many memories would a large Scandinavian gentleman have to deadlift on ESPN2 to win the title of world’s strongest man?  If someone memorizes a bunch of shit, will they get a heavy-ass head?  Is anyone still reading this?

I like you.

The new Nelly record is country music. It’s ok. Not really my jam but I like hearing new stuff so I listen to whatever’s new on Friday mornings and pops out at me. I liked that  ride with me song when it came out. I wonder what pop music will sound like in 20 years. 40 years. Will it be recognizable or will it sound like computers humping? Will people still like the Beatles? Do I even like the Beatles anymore? Yeah. I guess St. peppers is still ok. I think drum circles are cool.

100% bro I realise the Italians probably did it first but sometimes they’re just too thin and the water from the cheese fucks everything, like you gotta eat the whole thing immediately from straight out the oven or the middle’s ruined

Backing Greek style pizzas, just a little bit more dough to hold everything together

Seriously dominos must have changed or I ordered the wrong crust it’s like waaay thinner now

I had papa John’s and yellow cab and Greenwich before I thought they were pretty good for USA style pizzas, particularly liked the dough at greenwich

Here’s the original argument: https://www.simulation-argument.com/simulation.html

nutshell:

Technologically mature civilizations make many simulations of their technologically immature past

Given the many simulations they create, there are more simulations of technologically immature civilizations than there are/were technologically immature civilizations

So, if you’re a technologically immature civilization, you’re probably a simulation

Would you do it? The matrix question. The red pill or blue? The same question posed by Robert Nozick in 1974.

How do we know that technically mature civilisations make many simulations of their technically immature past?

Do they mean like video games

Simulations are a means of understanding events, testing theories, etc. We make simulations of the physical world - natural selection, black holes, etc.

If we had the computing power, we would also make simulations of the social world.

The argument doesn’t need every advanced civilization to develop simulations. Just a non-negligible number so that there are more simulations than there are/were immature civilizations.

The more simulations they create, the more likely we’re a simulation

Edit: After thinking about it, 100% intelligent design argument.

That’s the “technologically mature” part - a civilization that has harnessed the power of its solar system and is not on the verge of destroying themselves.

A type II civilization on the Kardashev scale: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale

For the argument to work - it just needs to be more probable than not that there are some politically stable civilizations with a Dyson sphere (or whatever) and enough curiosity to make simulations of their past

It has religious implications, but its impetus is skepticism. Although, the implications for the problem of evil are dope.

Your talks of simulation are making me think of the Wright brothers inventing a plane.  They weren’t the only ones working on it and I heard the military had a giant structure built in the water and would build test planes to launch there with the water acting as a safety net for failures of flying.

Meanwhile, the Wright brothers were testing small wings in a little tunnel-like apparatus with a fan and got to it first by quickly simulating many different wing shapes.

Maybe they would be committing legal incest but not blood incest.

I luv bank to block. I always am looking for stuff like this.
Putting a bench on top of a bank has been one of my favorite games since the beginning of my skate life.

I wonder how many times I've skated around Slap posters at the park, maybe even in my immediate group of friends, and not even known it.

I skated with @IpathCats once and he was way better than me.

I'm not sure if it would be a great or horrible idea to form a SLAP meetup haha.

I'm not sure if it would be a great or horrible idea to form a SLAP meetup haha.

@IpathCats, a SLAP meetup probably could go in any of many directions but I did randomly reach out to a member that I learned was in my area and he and his girl stopped by and we had an awesome skate on my mini.

Not gonna lie.....it felt super-sketchy but at the same time it felt like an awesome thing to do.  We met at a nearby park first and I quickly knew they were chill, and I think they didn't feel in danger so we came to my place and had an awesome skate session.  His girl was learning but had no problem doing her thing.  He was amazing and a total inspiration for me and I was enlightened by our conversations as well.  It amazes me that someone can just drop in and rip on a never-before-ridden ramp but he was killin' it.

As someone who started skating in old age I know I am a short timer for skating, but I did build a ramp in my yard and am trying to collect some good memories.  This particular visit was truly a highlight of my skate experience and when they left I truly felt that I had found some skate homies.  SLAP members generally seem to be solid, good hearted people so that made it easy for me to send the invite out.

So today I am pondering sending out more invites.  If you're in my area, hit me up!  (See profile for location....considered Southern New England, Providence, RI and Boston, MA area).

Was thinking randomly about the Toronto Raptors' name. Raptors.

It was influenced by the popularity of Jurassic Park, and anyone who was a kid back then remembers how cool the velociraptor was. But for the team to still be named "Raptors" in 2021, where the popularity of dinosaurs has waned (at least I think it has), and it's no longer the mid 90's (however much we wish it was), is strange.

Are they keeping the name around mainly for the purpose of nostalgia? Are 80's babies who were kids in the 90's that profitable and reliable of a demographic? Toronto in the early/mid 90's was pretty magical, so it's possible.

Might be time for a name/image change at this point is all I'm saying.

This is so totally unimportant to anything but I still felt like rambling about it.

ayeeee. I look forward to someday skating that mini, as well, my friend! hope you're doing well! if you ever want to go push street or skate something that's not in FR or your ramp, there's a really neat DIY under-the-bridge spot in New Bedford.

here's a video from SLAPs not-so-favorite skater from the 508, Anthony Shetler (who's a nice dude IRL) taking some kiddos skating at the spot. Pretty sure you could figure out how to get there if you wanted to. Someone at Solstice could probably tell you too. Grab a burrito and go skate  8) :o ;)

These boards have changed quite a lot the last few years, for the better I think, to be less hostile and bigoted. I wonder though if people posting here are still primarily straight dudes. I know there are some gay, women and trans posters here but I get the feeling the demographic is still pretty much the same.

@IusedToSkateMore, that video was excellent and I subscribed to the channel.  Those kids have ridiculous skills and it must be a testament to their teacher. 

Edit - forgot to mention, I look forward to you skating my ramp too!

I am often amazed by these DIY parks….when I hear DIY skate park I think of a ditch with a parking block dragged over from a nearby lot.  Seeing that video makes me want to dedicate some time to my lacking street skills!  Of course, with a mini in the yard it can be tough to change things up.  Still, I am way motivated by that video and I’ll let you know when I skate that park.

RE: people’s insecurities….my 16 year old daughter is dealing with some of that in school.  Over dinner I mentioned that I know she can handle herself but she better go to the vice-principal if things escalate, although a small part of me does want her to throw down and set some school yard rules.  But I know that’s not the answer, we’ll see how it goes.

I realised it was lost minutes later cause I was going to mates down the road went straight back and asked the chick there for my weed back and she fucking laughed in my face
Reckon she took it 100% but who cares I would speculate that her need was greater than mine

But I was thinking I am gonna fuck with her hard
Anyone got any ideas on how to be a cunt customer to her?

All I can think of is driving up there cause it’s a drive through bottle o and just buying like 20 cartons and making her load it up for me
They have to do this it’s a drive through bottle shop
Maybe I could like say fuck wrong ones and have her put em all back and get different beers?

Help me please

If you like post punk, check out a lot of the new bands coming out of the UK. I feel like the sax has made it's way into a lot of that stuff lately, or at least enough for me to notice. Check out Squids last album.

While this kinda sucks it's also sort of survival of the fittest. These types of instruments aren't that accessible for most. And I know id be pretty bummed if a neighbour started playing a loud instrument. If they want to keep going they'd better work on a quality yet affordable electric sax you can play with headphones.

Whenever you need to call a call center, why do you always get put on hold b/c they are, "Experiencing higher than normal call volume?"  I talked to this girl at BoA, she helped me with my issue and sounded kind of cute.  At the end of the cal she goes, "Do you have any additional questions?"  I reply with, "Are you ever at normal or or below normal call volume?"  She replies with, "No."  I say, "Maybe you need to step up your threshold for what normal call volume is and hire some more people."  She laughed.

Dude, anything less than 6 bags and I’d rather do it by hand in a tub or wheelbarrow. General contractor I’ve been working for a lot has a mixer and it’s a PITA to move and clean. Pro tip: a hoe is quicker than a shovel.

Don’t have to get this exact brand, they’re expensive
But this style is the go it’s real easy to wheel it around and one person can put it on the stand, you just put the tripod on when it’s lying down and stand it up and same in reverse to get it off the stand

They’re easy to clean too

For small mixes you can legit do em bucket by bucket with a half decent mixing drill, it’s easy as that way

Maybe I am a poosay but for anything bigger you’d just get readymix in or like a concrete truck as if you would break your back

letter Q shouldn't need a u after it we know it makes a kw sound.
The letter C should always make a ch sound and we should just use S and K when needed eg circle would be sirkel.

Vast majority of the jobs I’m on are residential, and usually just a few bags of this or that. Access to power and water/place to clean it out plus the space the mixer takes in the truck/trailer means buckets are just easier.

thats definitely a shame because people just listen to beepboopbop electronic noise and autotune now. world got dumber

If you like post punk, check out a lot of the new bands coming out of the UK. I feel like the sax has made it's way into a lot of that stuff lately, or at least enough for me to notice. Check out Squids last album.
And here's some heavy metal saxophone

The term “woke” is going through a very similar trajectory as hipster did in the mid 2000s to early 2010s. Where it meant something very specific and through constant derogatory use by middle America became something completely different years later.


Hipster in 2005- a young person apart of the downtown Manhattan or West Hollywood nightlife scenes

Hipster in 2011 - a white person under 40 who shops at Trader Joe’s, or any minority that doesn’t fit a stereotype.


Woke in 2015- a Umar Johnson looking motherfucker who reads Afrocentric books, watches low budget documentaries, and has an amazing diet

Woke in 2021 - a white person under 40 who shops at Trader Joe’s, or any minority that complains to HR.

letter Q shouldn't need a u after it we know it makes a kw sound.
The letter C should always make a ch sound and we should just use S and K when needed eg circle would be sirkel.

has anyone ever heard or seen "www" referred to as "triple double u"?

Maybe a lot of people say they are, but it would show in their behavior - impartial compassion, equanimity of views - which is rare

I just thought mystical experiences are maximally rewarding, so not a burden but a blessing. Making AI Buddhas is not a harm to them.

But if regular consciousness is a burden, doesn’t your crit apply to having children? They don’t ask to be saddled with the absurdity of life.

Do we harm children by bringing them into existence?

One Buddha is enough. If he didn’t get the message across I don’t think multiple Buddha’s will. If you meet the Buddha you kill the Buddha.
Human program says make more. I dunno. Ask a 30 year old woman why. I’m not programmed like that. Yes we harm people by bringing them into this realm.no one wants to be born. The thing that is different for a human and a robot is the human battery dosnt last forever. Humans are temporary. Robots can “live” forever. The day a human can live forever is the day the human is no longer human. An endless stream of conciseness never shutting off for ever is an actual hell. I would never wish that on a robot or a human.

I’m pretty sure a lot of serious Buddhists see life as a cycle compromised mainly of suffering. So to bring a child into the world is to force them into said suffering, a serious faux pas. (Any Buddhists out there please correct me if I’m wrong with this generalization.)

The personal question WRT kiddies would seem to be, does suffering outweigh pleasure in life, and if so, are we willing to subject another person to that suffering in order to chance an experience or two of pleasure?

IMO, from the Buddhist take, robot consciousness and child conception are pretty much the same thing in terms of suffering and life, ie both are no good.

I didn’t mean to bring in Buddhist metaphysics/psychology. Just that there are states of consciousness that are not a hassle.

Buddhist enlightenment is one, also Maslow’s peak experiences, kensho, moksha, various mystical traditions.

These involve self-transcendence, non-attachment, ego-loss. So, if we create conscious robots that lack a self, then we do not create consciousness that is suffering, but consciousness that is free from the dissatisfactions of consciousness.

A problem is that we’ll never know whether robots are conscious.
None of us know whether anybody else is conscious, since everyone’s experience is consistent with their being the only conscious being and everyone else dark inside.

If we don’t know whether the people around us are conscious, we’ll never know whether our smart toaster is.

To assume that I am somehow more special then everyone else around me and that this whole universe just happened to show up the minute I got here for me and me alone dosnt make any sense. Truthfully if anything I think the entire universe is actually conscious and we are all the parts of it trying to see what the fuck we all are.  We will all see it different because of our own unique perspectives but truthfully we are all looking at the same thing.

Consciousness is the only thing you can know directly, the only thing known for certain, everything else is inference. There might be a material world, but you're trusting that your mental representations accurately represent a world independent of your mind. And there's no way to do that, since all you have are mental representations.

It's Descartes - you can doubt everything, except that you're thinking. To doubt is to think, so when you doubt you're thinking you prove it.

Why think the universe is conscious?
I'm sympathetic - I'm pushing mysticism for robots after all - but unsure.

Other then my own person experiences with substances that I felt expanded my confines into other levels briefly  I think the universe is conscious because of the way it seems to be structured. Almost identical to a mammalian brain. Reality appears to have a very fractal like quality to it. when I think about where I exist it is always inside my head. I’m not my arms or legs or anything else in my body.you can cut all that away and I’m still there.  I’m this spot right between my eyes. That’s where I see the world from. What is that? Some cluster of braincells and neurons . What are those? They look like the universe. How strange. Why would that be a coincidence?there is nothing random here. Even the randomness isn’t actually random in a fractal.  Eventually As you look closer and closer everything becomes nothing. It’s only there when you look for it. How do you separate yourself from everything else if it’s all made of nothing? The whole thing seems to loop.

thought is an ego construction (constriction and maybe a beautiful constriction) that's based on lived experience. The truest way to live is to be aware of experience and not be attached to an interpretation of it. "Ahh, that's the sound of the birds... the sound of the bus... the feeling of my heart beating... the feeling of my ankle hurting... I feel displeased because I expected something else... I feel joy because I felt the trees sway..." The best we can do is to be aware of sensations and feelings. It's easier to not attach value to such states.

That's just because Bruce Banner paid 1400 for those Big Mama pants. He might transform into something superhuman every time he remembers, but the pants persist as though to emphasize on how one's biggest battle really is their own selves that they have to overcome. The green comes from how much green he wish he still had, and really would still have in a sane world.

The shirts are probably just Thrasher shirts he keeps getting with his renewed subscriptions - often they still rip.

The personal question WRT kiddies would seem to be, does suffering outweigh pleasure in life, and if so, are we willing to subject another person to that suffering in order to chance an experience or two of pleasure?

IMO, from the Buddhist take, robot consciousness and child conception are pretty much the same thing in terms of suffering and life, ie both are no good.
From what I gather having a kid isn't as much as a bad action as it is simply allowing someone to enter their next life, if you're in Samsara you're fucked and doomed to be reborn so we don't really have anything to do with the kids pain, they must get out of the cycle themselves by reaching nirvana. Also, somewhere a disabled jewish kid might be a reincarnation of Hitler or something.

i'm legitimately blown away at how much the modern internet sucks

i pop open snapchat and its a bunch of soft core porn framed as "fitness inspiration", or literal harassment framed as "pranks"

go on reddit and "libertarians" are arguing about how Jan 6th is a non event, "if they really meant business nancy pelosi's head would be on a pike" ???

youtube feed always funnels me right wing insanity, doesn't matter what content you watch, that's where the algo leads you

search for shit on amazon and you get a bunch of wish.com level products with randomly generated product names

etc etc. wtf happened, how did the information superhighway devolve to this level, and what are the greater implications?

If skate companies made actual wool beanies they’d be close to a deck in price. 99% if not 100% of skate beanies are cheap acrylic. Still warm but not like wool

Can confirm I wear beanies to keep my hair contained even in the CA heat.

I’m not cool enough for a slesh/daveed/wassup rocker headband

Wool/fake wool you know what I mean.
Yeah I also did the Jimbo Jones, Scandinavian snowboarder beanie on to control the hair in West Sydney summer(often one of the hottest places on the planet in summer) but then decided when I turned 30 that shit had to stop.

I can't really think of females doing any flips down stairs recently apart from Mariah Duran hardflips in comps.

But I guess maybe because what's the point? Unless they do it down a 13+ they will just hear a bunch of "oh who cares so and so already did blah blah"

The best one I never saw was that dreamworld accident, this big round thing cunts were floating in flipped and four people came out and went in the belt
They drained the water and it was just carnage apparently, like something out of a movie just people still alive all jammed into a conveyor belt

There’s a clip of that but they never released it, full saw the first ten seconds where they go into the water and don’t come up but they never released the part where they drain the water and you see all the people in the belt

Like Less Than Zero in vibe/POV, sure. But writing-wise, not so much. I was hoping he would write another book after getting the “lightly fictionalized stories about my friends” novel out of his system because he has some talent and he seemed to understand that skating isn’t just about skating—It feels like a skateboarding book, even though, as you said, “he just goes to Tompkins a few times.” That could lead to some interesting writing about the moments in-between, whether they be about skating or not.

You better be erecting monuments for all your sperm with this logic. The majority of abortions happen before the six-month mark which is when the cerebrum starts to develop. They're aborting a zygote, there's no meaningful brain function. Miscarriages are incredibly common. Women don't talk to do guys about it, why the fuck would they? A sack of cells having the possibility to form a human doesn't equate to it actually being a human being.

Anyone have experience buying a pre made quarter pipe that you just have to assemble? I know they're more expensive than if you made it yourself, but I also am not that handy and feel like I'd try and save money, but it would be shitty. I feel like it might be worth it to just pay a little more. I really want to get one for my garage for the winter.

Why do the innocents in these arcade gun games just stay the fuck down behind the wooden crate instead of popping up in the middle of a wild gunfight  going “NO DONT SHOOT!”  Just stay down.  Someone’s liable to mistake you for one of the bad guys in the heat of the moment and accidentally kill you.

It’s crazy to think that every random person I see while going about my day (and everyone else on the planet) has an inner world that is just as deep and complex and important to them as mine is to me.  If not more-so.  Everyone’s walking around with their hopes and fears and plans their little idiosyncrasies and the devil whispering into their ear to do some bad shit.  It just seems like too much invisible stuff to be going on all at once.

I've been sleeping in my jeans to get back to my skate rat roots.

It helps that the loose fit jeans I got from uniqlo are as comfortable as pajamas, but I wanted to harken back to days where I would overnight at friend's houses in other cities with little planning beyond the spots we wanted to skate.

Anybody else romanticize their vagabond years of life on the road like this?

the epic of gilgamesh. already december. time

Time flies.  Before you know it, we’ll all be dead.

Pondering quitting sugar.

Picked up part-time seasonal work at one of the large shipping companies.  After more than 5 years tracking exercise on an Apple Watch, I thought *maybe* I could hit 400% of my Move goal with a full day of skating plus 2 dog walks, but 400% seemed a bit out of reach to be honest.  Within 1 week of loading trucks, I hit 440% of my move goal.

One week later I hit 530%.

At 52+ years, I wouldn’t have thought I could handle it but one other thing has changed: my diet.  My wife and I made a pact a few weeks to eat a bit healthier, so lots of oatmeal, fruit, greens, tofu, etc.  After almost 7 hours of non-stop loading trucks last night, I feared this morning would be horrendous.  On the contrary, this morning was easy and included a 50 minute dog walk.

My change in diet seems to be a tremendous advantage.  Is sugar next?  Mentally, It feels like quitting cigarettes and weed and alcohol all at once but then again I know sugar is a problem for me.

Also, I “talk” too much here don’t I?

I've been quitting sugar for the last ten years. Only advice is ease into it. I often go no sugar for a month to six months max but end up going crazy and drinking 4L of coke and eating a kilo of candy everyday. The harder the pendulum swings one way the harder it wants to swing back. That of course is only advice for if you're like me and obsessive about things and also addicted to sugar

Maybe I should of just always bought dunks and P rods etc. They were way more expensive but maybe they would of lasted longer and my feet wouldn't hurt now. Altho my feet mostly hurt because I'm supposed to wear a 13 or even 14 but wore 12s and 11s.
Could of also used Jessup instead of mob to make shoes last longer. Always thought I couldn't skate properly in padded cupsoles but I haven't done anything decent since 2011 so what's the difference haha

I feel like if we took the GK style metal core bushings and avoided the plastic core bones method it might be worth a try.

If we don't do something soon it will be 100% too late.

Just anecdotally I’ve heard people specifically liking the character.  I guess he is supposed to be redeemed in the end because it turns out that he cooked up the whole scheme to teach kids life lessons, but what makes him qualified to do that?  Its not like he’s some trained child psychologist, he’s just some dude that makes candy bars.

Chemicals?
Maybe it's half mental and half less the flavour but the consistency changes. I drink ice coffee everyday but if I made a hot coffee and it went cold and I took a sip expecting it to be hot it would fuck with me.
When I drink a beer or a coke that's not fully cold it feels kind of thicker consistency but the actual taste is maybe the same just less enjoyable. Having euro parents they drink hot/warm beer drinks but not like that English people drink warm beers thing. Some beers are actually meant to be warm.
Is cheese the same thing? The thought of eating cold cheese makes me feel sick but melted cheese I'll put on anything. Then even if it's cold again it's good as long as at some point it got melted.

My friend has a bunch of lady chickens. One of them turned out to be a boy. These things happen, and it's no reason to get flustered, but he started sexually harassing one of the hens. Trying to mount her and such. We were wondering if it's possible to castrate a chicken.

Did some research, and learned this:

"Caponizing chickens is, in short, the surgical operation necessary for removing the testicles and neutering the chickens. Yes, you have to surgically remove the testicles. When this is done the bird can grow longer, gets larger, and can also be used as a broody as their hormones are now that of a hen's."

What a world.

Just chop its head off.  Takes two seconds.  I love all of God’s creatures and all that, but I’m not scheduling for an elective surgery for a chicken.  Tough break for him.

For bonus points you can hold up its severed head and stare deep into his little chicken eyes like a psychopath.

Has anyone ever seen Tony hawk with facial hair? His little kid 70s church haircut is really fucking up his image. You can see where his part is starts way on-top of his head.
He could dress as Larry David again but shave the top of his head for real. Then shave the sides and after a while be like"oh I actually just like it like this" and save some face.

Im pondering two things rn.

One of these it this saying i just made up.

Every disgruntled supposedly under appreciated hometown hero is thinking they are PJ Ladd till they actually see PJ Ladd.

It's not very clever but it's so true.

Two

Everyone in my family who I've seen skate pushed goofs. That me my 3 younger brothers. My sister 21 years younger than I. My cousins Jason my cousin Chelsea. There's more I can't think of rn.

Boom there's my cousin Cory. He regs he pushed mongo. Both of his sons push mongo. They live in Ohio and I've only been around them sporadically.

All three of them scooter. I believe that scooters train kids to piss peddle. My nephew James was given a scooter and I was against it big time. There I found myself walking around following him down the street watching him develop bad style. There was arguments over it for a second. My brother is like maybe the scooter will make skating easier. 

i was like this kids going to skate WRONG!! LOOK AT THAT SHIT!!! MONGO!!!!!!!!!

Yep they stand on the wheel to take all the weight out of the turn and bounce around barely on the thing. It's like a shopping cart style of push. Horrendous stuff man. Extremely bad for the legacy of great style I'm trying to continue nurture at that time.

The Ohio posse doesn't matter they were living in a trailer park meth vacuum.

So I knew I was losing this battle so I took the kid aside and was like you want this stupid thing? Ok your putting your foot here now. And you are going to learn to push switch.

He resisted the "safer way" to push but the stink foot is just too dangerous. Spontaneous human combustion kid. Swear on my frickin life.

When that didn't work I'd just yell out at him. HEY KID!!!! STOP PUSHING SHIT FOOT!!!!

All forth of July people be chilling. They'd see me sit up like there was a lion entering the barbeque look over at the kids and yell MONGO!!!! Hey you JAMES!!!! MONGO!!!!

That dangerous shit just bought you and hour of switch stance. I exaggerate that. He only had to push home from the fireworks switch.

I figured out how to make it work. Beginning of covid we taught all the new batch of kids how to bomb the hill to push around and almost Ollie.

The scooter was a bad idea. I see old skate dad's allow it all the time. They say maybe it will... Nah nah nah. Let me stop you right there kook. Gife the kid a frickin board and stop being a coward. Scooters are like leprechaun and unicorns. They do not fucking exist. Say with me Mike fucking Ness. They do not exist! Wash that fucking shit out of your hair take off the shaded dude.

Punk rock dad. I'm going to frickin puke

Whenever I see footage of cops in the UK, they always look like such pussies compared to US cops.  They’re always driving some cute little car and wear cute little outfits.

They’re always so fucking polite when they’re arresting somebody too.  They’re always like “Excuse me sir, pardon the interruption but, if it pleases you, might we have a quick word?”  If that took place in the US, they’d already have the person on the ground, three dudes sitting on them, guns drawn screaming orders.

I’m sure there’s some bad ass commando police in the UK; I’ve just never seen one.

It’s been a deep thought day:

2.  When these multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos types drink water, it’s basically the exact same shit that comes out of a water fountain at the back of Walmart.  It’s not like they get special rich people water… it’s all just got one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms.  Theirs just comes in fancier bottles and probably has less trace contaminants and rodent fecal matter PPM, but that’s not really a big deal.

Same goes for movies/tv shows.  It’s not like they have their own special billionaire joints, they just have to watch the same regular superhero movies and rom-coms as the unwashed masses. They just have nicer tv’s.

If your mustache is getting crispy then you're already dead, because the fire burnt through the mask of your breathing apparatus and your entire face is crispy.

Maybe it helps filter out debris from going in their nose and mouth.
Fire fighters in the 1800's actually used to grow out their beards for a similar purpose. They would dip them in water and put them in their mouths to try to keep smoke out. It's a good thing science exists, because if it didn't, they'd still be doing it. That's how much tradition means to the fire service.

it grows through pavements and pebble paths as well, why does it even do that? it's a lot easier to just grow more in the same place, yet it pushes through hard as fuck and inhospitable surfaces for virtually no reward.

That's a given with enough time, I wonder if humanity will ever get over the urge to genocide itself though.

I'm 6'6 it really would be optimal to be just 6 feet tall. I've had more ankle,knee,hip,spine issues than the average person. Starting to have heart and lung shit going on which is something a lot of very tall people deal with.
You're not like NBA special tall but tall enough you pretty much always stand out and there's this opposite effect being a big guy you'd think nobody fucks with you but no, everybody tries to fuck with you. I could dunk when I was about 6 or 6'1 so the extra height hasn't added anything

speed plays a major role too. it disperses the impact. youll notice if you skate a drop fast then slow. fast is safer.

I'm a tall guy (not NBA/crazy tall just 6'6 I'd say near the begining of tall guy range) so I think about it a fair bit. I think it's especially the heart it's not that much bigger,if at all but has to so much more work.

If you've ever been anywhere where there are swarms of them, they are annoying as fuck. They get in your eyes and nose and everywhere.

I've also been places where there are biting flies, and they cause the itchiest bites that drive you insane.

Also when you get maggots in your bin and you wake up and there are maggots all over your kitchen floor, well that is also shit.

So yeah, I hate flies. But I don't use flyspray or anything, and there's always flies in my house, but still they are annoying as fuck so i hate em.

You could look at it in an evolutionary way: flies tend to congregate around decaying stuff, stuff that could likely make our ancestors sick if they tried to eat it.  Those individuals that learned to recoil from flies were probably less likely to get sick from eating rancid meat and so they were more likely to survive and pass along that attribute to the next generation.

In the purge why doesn't anyone just kill people a couple of hours early before they are ready?  the next day there's be thousands of bodies to go thru so there's no way they are bothering to do an autopsy an figure out they died a bit before the purge started.
And they always just let their guard down the minute the purge ends. If someone was crazy enough to kill as if they'd care if they were a couple minutes too late. Some people might even wait until after time just to make things easier.
I guess the people just obey the rules so the movie can work.

they likely won't even notice it. if it's a good ditch you're likely no the first person to put wheels to asphalt. i say go for it, shouldn't cost you but $50 and if they knock it down put it up again somewhere upriver.

a long time ago, there was a guy called 'sex goat' who was fighting all the pros in nyc. he fought billy rohan, he fought jim greco, maybe more. why was he fighting pros? and was he 'sex goat' like shane heyl or 'sex greatest of all time'?

In the purge why doesn't anyone just kill people a couple of hours early before they are ready?  the next day there's be thousands of bodies to go thru so there's no way they are bothering to do an autopsy an figure out they died a bit before the purge started.
And they always just let their guard down the minute the purge ends. If someone was crazy enough to kill as if they'd care if they were a couple minutes too late. Some people might even wait until after time just to make things easier.
I guess the people just obey the rules so the movie can work.
the purge is one of the least sensical movies out there it seems, for pretty much every reason

Think about how much the shoe/sock/glove industries have benefitted from the fact that everything they sell is in pairs.

How many sales have come from losing one glove or one sock or one shoe?  These sock and glove industry jet setter fat cats wouldn’t be so smug if animal biology had went a different path.

We’d all be hopping around like Lowly Worm and their empires built on lost socks would be nothing like they are today.

In particular skate shoes. Would be dope if you could buy single shoes if your switch game is as mediocre as mine.

you can do this if you're galaxy brained, i once saw a kid at the skatepark skating 2 different shoes and when i asked him why he informed me that he switched one shoe out a time, regardless of whether or not his next shoe would be the same model or even size. if i remember correctly he had 2 different size shoes, one was vans and one was etnies maybe? wild shit.

Watching this show "la brea" (which so far maybe worst acting and CGI ever) which has a big natural disaster and there's a scene where the goodies just reverse their car thru traffic all crazy. I've noticed this in a lot of movies, like we are just supposed to be ok with our protagonists basically killing people to save themselves. Maybe it's the writers subtle way of making people feel ok about being privaledged

personally i find the discovery of metal somewhat easier to grasp. while it certainly wouldn't have been easy, it makes more sense creating tools out of metal. perhaps they cut it down rather than melting it at first, though that surely would have been difficult as well.

Basketball area sucks as well. Courts so small when that ball bounces anywhere its ricchociating in every nook and cranny within that dojo. I’ll tell u what, it’s gonna take a lot of legwork and a couple of polite excuse me’s to get that thing back n after 4 or 5 times I’d be over it.

Knowing that the foot clan were essentially children I’m confident in the fact I could beat em in a fight.

Doesn’t it seem like overkill for grocery stores to have a whole fucking aisle devoted to 65 different varieties of toilet paper?

All you need it to do is wipe the shit off your ass, not send a manned mission to Mars… it doesn’t have to be that complicated.

At most there should be 3 choices:

1. Jail/institution/homeless bum grade: one ply, thin, coarse, unpleasant but cheap.

2. Proletariat grade: normal tp for normal people with normal buttholes.  Gets the job done without any painful abrasions.

3.  Diva/Elton John grade: soft, pillowy, luxurious.  Reserved mainly for special occasions, the aristocracy, and/or those with sensitive anuses.

That's how we have it in Aus. Actually not even sure if we have option 3.
Million dollar idea. A toilet that tells you how much you piss/shit. And like what qualities it has(like you just just took a 0.9kg shit that was 80% log 20% mud. caution traces of blood detected) sorta like a whoop thing. Could call it phoop. Obviously I don't know how any of the science works.

Full bald makes you look weak. Beard too unless you're like a hipster or a lumberjack. Basically just tells people you're insecure about your balding head and ugly face. But people are becoming growingly weaker and more insecure these days so that's why you see more of them

The wrong kind of nerds took over entertainment. Nerd probably isn't even a fair term anymore. Incel is wrong too and I hate that word.
Like just because an actor played a part however long ago doesn't mean they have to keep playing that character decades later. Or when they get all shitty about what actors look like. They are actors not lookalikes. maybe like Jack reacher Tom Cruise was a foot too short but whatever it's a movie they work around it so it works.

Do most people that skate black wheels genuinely like how they look?  Or is it an ironic “so ugly it’s cool” kinda thing?  Sort of like the purposefully jarring mullet of skateboard wheels.

Or is it more about just going against whatever the majority of people are doing?  So hypothetically, if the vast majority of skaters traditionally rode black wheels, would they be the ones skating white ones?

These are very important questions.

So she is basically Superman's equal even if slightly less powerful she is still a god amongst regular humans. So she just decided to join the allies and kills thousands of Germans (Not Nazis it was ww1) because why? Chris pine? Then when she is in modern day she is still killing regular humans all the time. Throwing them thru concrete walls and even exploding them with her gauntlet things shockwaves. She is clearly shown being able to easily move faster than bullets multiple times. She could just as easily restrain people no problem. Basically she is the absolute max of police brutality.

Tech decks are the worst end of skateboarding. Wheels bushings and bearing race cages should be the only bad things skating will leave behind. I really wish satori would make eco bushings. If that works it would be huge af. At least olive oil shock pads.

When I see someone with a tech deck I’m like I bet you use Kcups too. I can close my eyes and I see our kids ankle deep in plastic. Don’t forget that the south east Nation that used to take the us’s trash barges to Americans to eat our plastic.

There is a look, especially to older dudes. It is obvious, but what the key markers are I can't say.

I feel like carrying a skateboard and holes in the shoes are signs someone doesn't skate (well). I feel at a certain point we get spoiled and become less tolerant of the wear and tear on our shoes and carrying a skateboarding is something we often avoid.

I brought my skateboard with me to an art show yesterday and I felt super awkward. For the past decade if someone who doesn't skates ask me if I can skate I tell them, "I wish that would be super cool" or if they catch me on my board and ask if I can ollie, kickflip, or whatever, I respond, "Nope, I'm just learning. Can you?"  It is the opposite of middle-school of when I wanted everyone to know I skated.

^My current job is boring and tedious. The main pluses are I WFH and the pay is good. Capitalism is pretty dumb and bound to fail at some point. We're kinda fucked in that respect if it comes crashing down in our lifetimes.

Unrelated but I was pondering if you can tell if someone is a skater without any obvious clues like holes in their shoes or they're carrying a skateboard.

There is a look, especially to older dudes. It is obvious, but what the key markers are I can't say.

I feel like carrying a skateboard and holes in the shoes are signs someone doesn't skate (well). I feel at a certain point we get spoiled and become less tolerant of the wear and tear on our shoes and carrying a skateboarding is something we often avoid.

I brought my skateboard with me to an art show yesterday and I felt super awkward. For the past decade if someone who doesn't skates ask me if I can skate I tell them, "I wish that would be super cool" or if they catch me on my board and ask if I can ollie, kickflip, or whatever, I respond, "Nope, I'm just learning. Can you?"  It is the opposite of middle-school of when I wanted everyone to know I skated.

Don't know what your homie is doing but I'd suck dicks for $500 a day and you better believe I'm going hard for more than 2 days a week.

As for telling who skates, I think most of us dress different than the populace. It could be a hat or beanie. It could be the cut of the pants or the ever present hoodie. I personally don't dress like a skater so I'm actually a little impressed when someone clocks me, the sad looking overweight black man, as a skater. I must be holding myself in a familiar way.

^^ Parking cars at really really fancy restaurants on Fri/Sat.

The $500 days are pretty much only possible on Fri/Sat and requires all day/evening shifts. Sadly, this isn't happening on a Tuesday, so it makes sense to stick with just two days a week.

My dad's cousin is insanely wealthy (for a person who actually labored at one point in life), I went out to lunch with her near Rodeo Drive once... she tipped over $20 to the valet, she threw the waitress a ton of money, and gave me $250 for "pocket money." It seems she had more money than she knew what to do with and was just handing it out like it was candy. If you're at the right place, you can make some serious money.

Do most people that skate black wheels genuinely like how they look?  Or is it an ironic “so ugly it’s cool” kinda thing?  Sort of like the purposefully jarring mullet of skateboard wheels.

Or is it more about just going against whatever the majority of people are doing?  So hypothetically, if the vast majority of skaters traditionally rode black wheels, would they be the ones skating white ones?

These are very important questions.
[close]
Known two people who regularly skated black wheels. One was because "they don't get dirty" the other was a guy who would ride completely blacked out setups, which itself was such a lunatic move it was almost cool.(emphasis on almost)
As someone who wears mostly black clothes I find this understandable, but also weird because why go through the trouble.

i remember years ago needing to fight mosquitos off on summer evenings, and bees going around everywhere.
there are pesticides and all, but surely they'd keep breeding and keeping the population up, right?
there's just less of them around, and while it's convenient it would be shitty for us all to die when there's no pollination happening.

What drives a skater to pursue getting a clip with their hood up? Is it for the subtle head protection despite countless heavier clips also risking head injury with no hood? Is it pure forced sneeze? Is it a random choice spur of the moment and they happened to land it on the one with the hood up?

Then what drives someone to wear their hood up in a goofy fashion? In talking about the strings pulled real tight or ears sticking out the hood.  Some clips are clearly just messing around but I swear some of these fools have some deliberate planning around it in attempt to force some wack sneeze

I always attributed the style to the superior aerodynamics of having tight fabric while of pushing into a headwind.

today I pondered the mental gymnastics one must go through when they're on a, 'spiritual journey free of ego,' but all they display is their ego and how it controls their life...

for example, this new chick started working at my office who is undeniably (physically) attractive and sports a name given to her by her, "guru," in India. This chick bills herself as someone who's on a spiritual pursuit of enlightenment, someone who isn't shallow, just, ya know lyke, God bro... yet all I see is someone who wrestles with their old habits (like using her sexuality to get what she wants) and what she WANTS to present herself as... and all I can see is the pain it causes her.

I don't wish spiritual pain on her, or anyone for that matter, by any means, but this chick is bad news bears, and could seriously put my job in jeopardy.

I pray for her.

Without knowing what kind of enlightenment path she is on, I think a lot  of those concepts ultimately turn around the ego (be yourself, be all you can be etc.) so it‘s inherent that the people living by them put themselves first. I worked with a girl on a similar path who was quite the bully. Praying for her is certainly the right thing to do.

I think those things have more to do with honesty, like not being a hypocrite is a nice start on being true to yourself. But usually you miss the mark hard when you forget about the parts about desire=pain and life=desire, if I recall correctly there's some talk of charity in there too, which already amounts to being a more selfless and helpful person.
Long story short don't start a spiritual jorney if you're too much of a moron to absorb the complexities of life and said spirituality, cause shit isn't as simple as saying you have a clean soul, usually there's a lot of being wrong, letting go and suffering the consequences of your egotism.

Ever skate the same thing as someone at a park or spot that you don’t particularly care for and end up getting some of their transferred paint off their deck onto yours?  It’s like your board has been slightly tainted by theirs in this asexual std way.

You can look down at that little smear of the accursed’s light blue paint from their Primitive dbz collab board and remember why you hate other skaters and, by extension, yourself a little bit.

I bet @silhouette has some psychological insight on what’s going on there.

Depends on hair size, I shaved my head really short and it gets greasy pretty fast like yours, but when I had long hair it took a few days, depending on the weather. It also got really dry sometimes because I can't be skating everyday and washing my hair every 2 or 3 days, it would be disgusting.

Just think about it, if someone can't stick to the usual social rules and moral code how would they plan on sticking to a spiritual journey kind of deal? Unless they're into satanism or some shit it's more likely that they're just pretending to act like they have a certain moral high ground, which could conclude to being a judgmental "I'm never in the wrong" type of person. And yeah, it might be something based on fourth hand info, but who cares anyway?

I’m thinking about hopping on a bus to LA for a few days. Get a house sitter for my cats.

If I went to la I would try and find Vincent Alvarez maybe. Id like to try and switch wallie some stuff with him.
That’s my absolute favorite maneuver. He’s my favorite LA skater I think. He’s definitely the one I think of most. He has the maneuvers I dig. He has a static part. He’s the real deal. If there’s one thing in skateboarding I wish I got it would be a static part. To me that’s the coolest thing someone can say in skateboarding.  I have a static part.

Id even ride some little ass wheels if I was in California. Or try. I’m on 58s again. I love going fast but in la I noticed I think more about how many tries something takes.

I wanna go back to where Belmont Tunnel was near the court house. I know it’s gone but I wanna see with my own eyes.
I wanna fakie line at the court house. I would not film it. The court house is not street skateboarding anymore. Id get someone to help me get a photo of an invert on the stage. I probably can’t manny it anymore. That might make me cry.
I want to See the building my uncle Dan lives in. I’ve only seen videos of him going up the escalator. His building has an extremely detailed metal wall that goes along the side of the escalator. It’s thousands of stacked muscle men cut into the wall. Like rows and rows and rows. It’s kind of like a pyramid but it’s the whole wall not in the shape of pyramid but stacked like one.
My mom told me it’s a skyscraper dt. He’s mad rich but I wouldn’t ask for anything.

I want to sleep on the beach and get half a sunburn in the morning. I want to surf if I can still swim.

Then I’d just skate curbs and eat burritos all day.

I got Steve Olson’s number. Probably changed it because it was given out during a live stream contest but
   I’d ask if I can come by and get a photo of us together for my mom.

Id skate down sunset to look at what I first skated in 91 if it’s still there idk idc. Catch a comedy show maybe a punk show. Look for a mic


Then I’m going to rancho to see my family.  I love rancho. I would head to mammoth and Reno.

What is the best way to keep one's asshole clean?

I feel like every now and again, I'll take a shit, everything seems clean, and then I've got to go back to the bathroom just to make sure my asshole is clean like an hour or two later.

Bidet, you'll never go back. They're ~$25 dollars and take 10 mins to install.  ;)

undoubtedly a bidet, but for uncultured folks such as myself i just shit (and wipe) before i shower (when possible) and rinse in there

American politics is just primitive us-versus-them bullshit. People who don't benefit in any way devote their time/money/energy to douchebags who make almost 200k a year. Politicians should earn minimum wage and maybe get Kinko's stipends for their stupid posters.

Having said that, I find it interesting that the group who bitches about, "cancel culture," actively bans books and are trying to ban teaching of post-slavery history in America. Simultaneously, state legislatures are passing voting bills that are reminiscent of Jim Crow laws in the past. Both sides like calling each others Nazis, but let's not forget that Nazi policies, leading up to the Holocaust, were heavily inspired by Jim Crow policies.

The people who make fun of political correctness call their batshit-insane beliefs, "alternative facts."

I need to do something fulfilling career-wise that requires critical thinking, so I don't end up in a grind of working/drinking/believing in weird shit.

Humans are meant to be physical and cognitive. Exercising helps satisfy the physical part but people often work jobs where they aren't really using their brain. Since, they don't use critical thinking, they start diving into conspiracy theories or counterfactuals, which can't be proven or disproved. Their brains are releasing endorphins as if they are learning when they're just consuming bullshit.

My boss wants to send me on a job that would require being away from home from
Mon-Fri for 2-3 weeks.  Travel isn’t normally a job requirement for me, and his offer of a meal allowance and “extra hours” isn’t a motivator for me whatsoever.  I emailed him earlier saying I could, but it would be challenging for me and my family, and asked if we could possibly discuss an added incentive for this extended travel.  I ponder if he’ll hook me up, or tell me to go fuck myself.

Do any of you have a skin care routine & use a face moisturizer??? My friend recently stayed with me
& she made such a big deal about this. She was so passionate about using a skin moisturizer &  stressed the importance that men totally need to do this as much as women. Seems like a lot of work. She scolded me just for using soap to wash my face in the shower. I also put vitamin e lotion on my face & that’s the extent of my skin care routine
[close]
I have this idea that all the stuff like this is a con and once you start doing it regularly you have to always do it. One time they had this head and shoulders shampoo + conditioner on crazy sale so I just bought like 6 bottles. Now if I don't use it my hair goes all fucked up.

You might be on to something. Feel the same way about ChapStick. Major con

This is what my wife got me and I notice a pretty big difference in my face. I've got pretty bad dry skin and with the first stuff I don't really the itchy flaky skin like I normally do. The second stuff is for the shower. I don't use it every time, but if I notice I'm getting kinda crusty, that stuff will clean it really good.

I've also carried chapstick in my pocket for most of my life, so what do I know?

I pondered why sagging ones pants was ever a thing. That's gotta be the dumbest look of all time.

As another only dances when very drunk person it would be good to know how to dance I guess. Only thing I've noticed over the years is when someone is "good" at dancing they are basically the worst. Maybe it's like fake style in skating. You don't want to look like you've been practicing or had lessons.

no fucking question about it, it's hard. think about not just the things in the world, but what makes up the world. there's more rocks, more tough earth and everything.
the surface of the earth is tiny in comparison to the overall size of it. if you don't consider the liquid part of the earth's core as soft, then it's hard. there's just too much rock.

this is quite similar to the doors and wheels debate, i.e. are there more doors or wheels in the world?

telling people not to look up to you is a cop out. Plenty of celebs/sports stars do this and it's bullcrapperz. It's like being like I want to be rich but not do the paying tax part of that life.
I think the celebrity thing is kinda dated now but made more sense in older times. You had your friends, family, neighbours and coworkers and that was pretty much the only people that existed to you and then when people achieved something great they were now known by everybody. But now thousands of random people can be known by a billion people for no real reason it's not just a handful of musicians, actors and athletes etc

I think it might be:

A) an outgrowth of the primate hierarchical alpha male/female thing that I’m sure is still hardwired in our brains like so many other animal impulses we’ve inherited. 

and

B) a useful social tool.  Since these mega celebrities are a group of people that pretty much everyone knows, we can kinda use them as muses and models and examples to explain all kinds of stuff.  It’s like how ancient Greeks used stories about gods to illustrate different facets of the human experience: lust, greed, hubris, bravery… all kinds of shit.  So Entertainment Tonight and the National Inquirer are like our version of The Iliad.

Always ask a homie. See who has the best move’s and just copy them.

If you was in Massachusetts I def meet up give you some pointers. I’m a certified boss on the floor almost any type of music.

When I’m skateboarding I’m dancing too. You can see it if you look close. In between tricks I’m shifting my weight from foot to foot without lifting my wheels usually.

I have this issue where there’s music constantly running in my head. It never even goes away so I learned to move with it.

Do you like music? Prettty crucial i think that you know what moves you, bump it in the car, the kitchen, get down on your own, just move around and get as stupid as possible, movin your mind as far as possible from rational thought. Try making small movements that feel nice and flow, like you were doing a skate trick over and over just because it feels right.
I was out dancing last night, girl I've been dating invited me to Britney Spears night at a local club. I've always found queer vibes way more comfortable to dance in, or raves, better than fancier bar or club scenes with a bunch of egos to bump into. Find a party that looks fun, probably best if its totally outside your friend zone so you don't feel like you are being judged by people you know. Find someone you know who likes to dance, could be a coworker or friend of a friend, it's actually better if they're not a close friend. Tell them you need to party, buy them a ticket, whatever, consider it a dancing lesson. Take some mushrooms or molly if you want, but keep it minimal, and keep the booze to a minimum. You have a mission dammit!
You can learn moves or whatever later, but it all starts with just being comfortable moving your body around other people, which is easier to learn in a judgement-free space with people you know truly don't give a fuck and just want to have a good time. Once you actually learn to enjoy dancing, it'll be easier to do it in different situations. Remember: dancing is about enjoying yourself, the rest doesn't matter unless you're auditioning for RiverDance. I think it's awesome you want to dance, good luck.

She looks predominantly german shepherd, especially in pics. Classic german shepherd sloped back too. IRL she's got some other serious husky markings on the chest and her ears kinda turn out a little more akita style. Both parents were between 80-110lbs.

Kinda splurged and ordered an embark DNA and medical issues kit. Find out what she really is...

here's another pic from the day she came home one month ago tomorrow. ABP but so it goes...

Why does the right care so much about banning LGBTQ+ books but no one talks about banning Mein Kampf? Hitler's book was worth the most points for the Scholastic book competition, where we would read books and take ten-question quizzes to score points, which we could redeem for junk food and other shit. The other books with the highest points were Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead [by Ayn Rand] and LOTR books. I didn't read any of those, but took the quizzes so I could beat everyone else.

My eighth-grade history teacher, who was from the south, told my class that the Civil War was really about state rights, and not slavery. My eleventh-grade history teacher said that slavery wasn't all bad, it was exaggerated by the Union, and that, "Black people were treated like dogs and were a part of their family." I wish I called him out on it. After the election, he surveyed the class, asking who would have voted for Obama, if they could vote, and gave everyone who raised their hands candy. He was also one of the most popular teachers in the school too. Kids liked these teachers, but I thought they were trash.

I hated my experience with the public school system. Reflecting on my time made me understand why people from that area were, and still are, pieces of shit. Anyone from that high school, except for one or two guys, that I ever hung out with, would at some point, go off on racist rants about Black people. It would be while smoking a bowl or having a couple shots. I really wish I would have told them to get the fuck out of my house, instead of ignoring that shit like Chris Roberts. Not saying anything is as bad as agreeing with them. They would also weirdly brag about: having big dicks, their sexual encounters, and using magnums, but had such a big problem with women who hook up with Black guys.

Why does the right care so much about banning LGBTQ+ books but no one talks about banning Mein Kampf? Hitler's book was worth the most points for the Scholastic book competition, where we would read books and take ten-question quizzes to score points, which we could redeem for junk food and other shit. The other books with the highest points were Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead [by Ayn Rand] and LOTR books. I didn't read any of those, but took the quizzes so I could beat everyone else.

My eighth-grade history teacher, who was from the south, told my class that the Civil War was really about state rights, and not slavery. My eleventh-grade history teacher said that slavery wasn't all bad, it was exaggerated by the Union, and that, "Black people were treated like dogs and were a part of their family." I wish I called him out on it. After the election, he surveyed the class, asking who would have voted for Obama, if they could vote, and gave everyone who raised their hands candy. He was also one of the most popular teachers in the school too. Kids liked these teachers, but I thought they were trash.

I hated my experience with the public school system. Reflecting on my time made me understand why people from that area were, and still are, pieces of shit. Anyone from that high school, except for one or two guys, that I ever hung out with, would at some point, go off on racist rants about Black people. It would be while smoking a bowl or having a couple shots. I really wish I would have told them to get the fuck out of my house, instead of ignoring that shit like Chris Roberts. Not saying anything is as bad as agreeing with them. They would also weirdly brag about: having big dicks, their sexual encounters, and using magnums, but had such a big problem with women who hook up with Black guys.


Tldr after the first two sentences but mein kampf is banned in Germany  and i think in Switzerland and Austria and so on aswell.

I don't want it to catch a crow, no freakin way, man. where I live crows and ravens are the primary birds. they're all over the yard and fence. she went chasing after one today for the first time. She is a 14 week German Shepherd, Husky, Akita mix. Super sweet puppy

That's got to be a beautiful dog. Pics or it didn't happen.

What would I have been like if I was super good at skateboarding? What kind of persona would I have in the skate media?

Like, would having the cushion of having people being nice to me and wanting to be my friend cause I was good at skateboarding gone straight to my head? Would I have been "myself" more often without having to care about the insanely harsh rules of our no rules little subculture that come with harsher consequences for those of us who kind of suck? Would I have been a complete kook? Would I have been more likely to tell a few of the dudes who were super good in my scene that they were complete pieces of shit rather than (sometimes) feeling like they could walk over me?

I'm kind of glad I was pretty average at skateboarding, but I do wonder what things would have been like if I was as good as some of my friends. Would I have done better or worse with their talent?

In around 1990 skaters should of invented another stance. It would be fakie but called something completely different. Then there's be no confusion between all the trick names when going fakie. The term fakie would still be used for pivot to fakie etc and it would also get rid of the inevitable hassle when someone does say a switch lipslide to fakie and it's always like "what do you mean switch to fakie?do you mean switch to regular or back to switch?"
(Just for the record I'm someone who does know how the fakie terminology works)

Let's say factory flow level good. Never going to make it full-on AM, but good enough to get into the van a couple times with the pros.

Having that level of talent comes with a lot of networking opportunities, chances to be "known," and the ability to worry about the "rules" of skateboarding less and still have people at the park, spot, shop kiss your ass/invite you on sessions and trips. For example, I've known a few people who have pretty terrible personalities, but people rationalized their shit behaviors away cause they were good skaters.

With that level talent:
Would my unfiltered personality have been SRH flat brim hats and other stupid shit? Would I have been an egotistical jerk?
Would I have gotten wrapped up in the moment and fucked up my life long term?
Or, would I have been able to take advantage of that position and done some cool stuff? 

At the pro level, damn that'd be hard to grow up in front of the camera. I'm glad most of the stupid shit I did in the past wasn't recorded or focused on for too long.

Why would you want to be less good? Just cause some of your buddies burned out early?

Imagine coming home after a long day of work and finding your couch absolutely covered with preying mantises. Like, crawling with them. Never mind how the fuck they got there in the first place, this is an omen. It means your girlfriend is going to try to kill you. But why? You've had a great few weeks since the trip to Colorado for her brother's wedding, winning Celtics tickets, and the decision to learn Spanish together. It must've been that "dog walker" girl you see leaving the house everyday who really works for a government agency that covertly installs implants in people. Your girlfriend has had false memories embedded in her brain of you cheating on her and slaughtering a horse. Such treachery. But what is the aim of this sinister plot? You're onto this "dog walker" girl now... you won't let her tear you apart.

Don't know how to fully put these thoughts in order so soz to anyone that reads it's gonna be a little waffly. The reason everyone is so kinda immature these days is because you always have to kind of rebel against the generation before. Even ignoring age it's more just about time. (I won't go thru every example I have been thinking of) basically when I started highschool in 99 (highschool is 7-12 gradein Aus) it's like ok no more kiddy shit. Always act grown up now. And this just progressed. I even remember like telling girls I was seeing I'm gonna watch the dark knight and them being like "wtf why would you go see batman? That shits for kids" and even like the clothes we went from kinda how skaters dress now all the way thru to Dylan. It felt like it was getting more mature into adulthood.
Now it's so jarring for me to see people completely comic book, star wars, marvel movied out as adults or in skating like dressing what I think a 13 year old dresses like. GH to me seems like a 7th grader but dudes like the age people in my generation would have careers and start familes.
Can't even think what my exact point is lol but it's like the man children thing is a direct rebellion against the "cool"generation (even tho there's millions of man children way older than me) lol

Just to add to T-Funk China bank Ollie ender ponderings. Is it the perfect ender? There's stuff like Andrew Reynolds stay gold and Milton carwash where it's a kickflip but then they quickly just turned into spots where ten more people come up with other tricks.
China banks Ollie is something pretty much every skater knows and has imagined and now someone's actually done it. And hopefully nobody else trys. Chima's Martin place double set Ollie is the only other thing like this I can think of off the top of my head.
Not that an ender has to just be a raw stunt. I just also think of things like Koston 3 flip noseblunt or guys switch 3 flip nosegrind specifically I remember telling a friend about it then months later he saw it and was so pissed off. theres no middle ground Ollie the long bench is exactly what you imagine it to be.

Could the tunic ever come back into style. Most fashions loop around in 7,15,30 ish year cycles but the tunics been out for about 850 years. Where I live has ok range of cultures and it's really not unusual to see Pacific Islander men walking around in skirt like garb or Muslims wearing what look like extra long tall tees. I think Indonesians often don't wear long pants under so often you see people going about their day in what looks a eboneza Scrooge style night shirt. Not too long ago the fashion for blokes was even stubbies/rugby shorts with like a 5xl tank top. We were basically right at the cusp of tunic but it didn't happen. Plus people like Zelda right?

This is a close up of me preparing for crook pop out on a tight squeeze flat bar. I pressed it into a wall for support because I hate this shotgun style double round rail.
Pressing into a wall made it so I can hit it on its side so it’s just a regular round rail slightly up hill.

I have been noticing how much I been relying on ocd hand gestures to crook. If you look close I’m using my back hand like a sight on the end of a gun barrel.
If I don’t do this motion before all front truck grinds I will probably fail or feel unfulfilled upon landing.

Don't really want to use ocd label for myself altho talking to my parents there was def stuff from when I was a kid but my parents were of a time and culture where they were just like yeah that's not a thing. He doesn't need special treatment or medicine for this bullshit he can just be wierd. And there's a pattern of it getting considerably better as I get older but for me it's about routines/ order. So say I wanted to kickflip 5-0 a ledge well first I have to 5050 then 5-0 then kickflip 5050 then I can do the kickflip 5-0. Not so much a problem anymore tho (probably because I rarely do anything hard anymore lol)

Not to go too far off topic (it's a little related) I wonder if when skaters talk about blacking out and landing a trick if they ever played sports. When i used to play soccer and football it was the only real time my brain would shut off and I could just do stuff not worrying about the order etc I never got it skating sober and it never worked for me in training for sports etc it had to be a game.

They're just waiting for the movie to start. Most films and shows set in medieval times just rely on cliches people have seen before. According to many history dweebs it would of looked pretty much nothing like what we think it looked like. What we think of visually is other old movies and plays and what castles etc look like now. Even down to combat we're used to seeing actors lazily swing massive swords at each other but realistically it was probably level with samurai stuff. Real armory and weapons were pretty light.anyway back to start king sits there looking into space because that's probably how a scene from a Shakespeare play started and everyone ripped it off and now that's what we expect.

Also I've been in romantic relationships most of my adult life and at the age of 32 I've been single the longest time ever (8 months) and I feel like why didn't I do this earlier? I've always liked being alone more than be in company. Is this what social programming does, makes you want something that's not the best for you? The possibility of having many companions of friendship and sex while maintaining autonomy intrigues me today. Is this something people with no care for social constructs think about a lot?

How much life there is in the world, and how much there has been.
There's one tree that's super old, a bristlecone pine that is 4,841 years old apparently. Apart from that outlier, there would be next to nothing that's seen the last millenia through still alive today, at least compared to the living things. It's beautiful how the world has developed into how it is today; If someone ate an apple 100 years ago and threw out the core, assuming all went well there would be another tree there. The cycle continues, and the little deaths of the tree's fruits lead to uncountable lives being created and sustained.
Let's say that in a few years, or months, or days, the tree gets struck by lightning and falls down. Unfortunately, this leads to its death. But all is not lost! Mushrooms grow around it, breaking down the matter into nutrients for other plants to use. And from that, trees and plants, ferns, everything gets fed better from one little loss of life.
I think that that is beautiful. How the web of plant life can feed itself, and in the process sustain the lives of countless animals. There is so much beauty in the world, and I really love it.

Do pro skaters apply proper sun protection before long sessions in the hot summer sun? Do any skate companies sell sunscreen?

Regarding the congressional ufo hearings, shouldn’t it be some kind of jail-able offense for Pentagon officials to essentially refuse to tell them anything?  At the very least, shouldn’t they lose their job?

I don’t agree with it, but I guess there’s a case to be made for not disclosing info to the public if it’s some really wild shit that would cause mass hysteria.

But ultimately, we’re the ones paying their god damn salaries so let’s see some of those crazy alien vids we paid for.

Also, why do we still feel outrage when people behave how people have always behaved throughout history?  We’ve been doing horrible, evil, cruel shit to one another since the beginning of time; you’d think that at some point it’d sink in that that’s just our default setting and that things like peace and tolerance and harmony are the outliers.

I seen a ufo once. It was a giant flaming rock I think. I was skating a quarter pipe in the Marblehead woods pretty much. 
The sky lit up above us and a stone made of green fire just flew over our heads and it should have hit close by but it didn’t. Nothing was ever found and there was no impact sound.

That shit was loud when it was flying by too. 

Maybe it crashed into the waters off the coast of Naugus head?

No drugs was involved and there was two others there.

Few days later a local family was chased by a ufo. They said it was right about their car for a few blocks. Was in the papers and shit.

Everyone was making fun of them but I know they wasn’t lying. They definitely saw a ufo triangle

I saw one off-season at the Outer Banks with my girlfriend at the time.  Looked up and it was just this orb of light silently hovering maybe 500ft in the air.  After a few seconds it shot off into the horizon and was gone almost instantaneously without ever making any kind of sound.

Why isn't Florida a proper rival of California for skate industry etc. Seems like a proper chunk of pros are from there, there's Tampa pro and am every year, it's closer to the mid west and east coast, it's already part of the south, Closer to europe (altho further from Asia so I guess further shipping for product)

In the future will people ever think back like remember that time between 2015-2025 ish where we just had too much tv? Like there were a hundred streaming things that would all dump entire series of a show every day and people would literally binge watch it. 18 hours of a show in one sitting barely even paying attention. Not to mention every other week a blockbuster half billion dollar spectacle at the movies. It's was nuts. Even crazier some people would spend all their free time watching somebody else watching something.

i dreamt last night i was in a room with richie jackson and i was annoyed he was hogging a joint.  he smoked two thirds before offering me any, but i declined incase he had covid and also i dont smoke weed anymore.
then he stubbed it out on a fillet of salmon(skin side down) and placed the remainder of the joint in an ashtray, next to another butt he had smoked two thirds of.
idk why i thought of richie jackson, i never think about richie jackson.  was probably the jamie griffin crazy tricks talk.
salmon was skin side down because i guess thats what any reasonable person would do.

Pretty sure that’s covered somewhere in here.

-

Have we (humans), through all the wars and violence throughout history, inadvertently selected to increase the relative amount of pussies in the population as a whole?

You gotta figure that a lot of the people laying dead on a battlefield were some brave mother fuckers.  Whole bunch of dead brave guys.  Then another war eventually happens and more of the society’s brave mother fuckers charge into battle and get killed, and again and again and again for generations.

Meanwhile all the cowardly dudes are back home making arrows or farming or whatever in relative safety, making them far less likely to die than some bad ass warrior charging straight into the enemy’s frontline.

Maybe it’s balanced out by the fact that in general, most women would find the super brave guy much more attractive than the pussy.  And there’s also the fact that if the enemy ever successfully broke through to the town or city that there’s a good chance that they’d just go ahead and kill all the civilians.  Who knows

It would be better if there were only 6days a week and 12 months of 30days. Altho you then get 5 weeks per month which doesn't divide by 12 nicely everything is still cleaner. The year will just be 360 days then we can do one of the new 6 day weeks as a holiday if we need

Ok, I just need to write this somewhere.  It's been bouncing around in my head and I just need to send it out somewhere to be able to get some context / free my head of it.  I know I sound like a 15 year old smoking weed for the first time, but fuck it.

We tend to think we can fix our evolution & live forever, but in reality we're just coming to the end of our run or preparing for an evolutionary event.  Our entire societies fabric is made up of mining, which is ethically fucked and using finite resources. We're not giving up our iPhones even though children in the Congo are dying for them, but we'll use metal straws and reusable bags at our shopping centres.  The real problem is in production to sustain this life and our need to have it and our ability to ignore the cost for the end product.  The only way we'll straighten our course is to stop production of most things that fuel our lives these days and to go back to pre technological times, but that can't / wont happen.

This is our evolution.  We're creating self learning AI at a quickening rate, and our needs will deplete the earth sooner or later while recreating ourselves into oblivion. Our dire narcissism.  We have access to all the information now to understand everything, but it's just overwhelming.  Add in the warming of our planet, and it's a one way trip.  The billionaires know it, hence the space ships and looking to protect their legacies on a new planet one day.  A dying planet shoots spores out to the cosmos in a hope to extend our existence.  In Scifi, you'd think that guy who jettisons from an exploding planet is the last hope of a civilisation, but living in it you know it's some billionaire pig who added to our extinction in a final selfish act.  In simple terms, we're just a virus that's in it's final mutations.  People seem to think the style of life we have lead in the last 70 to 100 years is everything we are.

So it's not something to fix, it's something to come to terms with.  Not saying we shouldn't try, but i'm beginning to see it all as futile as flicking boogers against a speeding car hoping to stop it. 

Somehow, this gives me hope or at least some peace to the never ending barrage of noise & doom that we're confronted with these days, and it's only hard because we've had a pretty fuckin easy run.

Having a kid really smashes these thoughts into your being, but i'm starting to feel more like 'im so glad you're here and we get to experience life together' than gut wrenching guilt for bringing her into this shitshow.

Ok, peace.

Danny Jones is one of my favorite skaters on instagram. He’s also I think he’s the most skilled remive guy in my eyes. Also he’s hella lucky to have a lady friend who can do a bunch of nollie and switch stuff. How lucky can you get?

But yeah people think it’s John hill or giger Johnny but Jonesy’s doing nothing but manuals all the time and they are usually ones I just couldn’t do or never have or will try.

He makes me wanna tighten my back  truck a little and Torture myself at the Manny pad till I focus my face in disgrace.

I luv manuals. I love manuals and he deserves to have a positive post on slap for being a genuine manny underboss.

All the bosses are my age.

I’m putting together an 8” board today specifically for manuals and stuff. I’m just going to skate my stage 7s because I couldn’t sell them locally. Probably because they are for 8 down and the yoke hang up thing. It’s a street truck. No need for inverted yokes.

I’ve found that old Indy 139s are the best truck for me when I do flips into manny.

I have no idea why but it just works better than all modern trucks I have for manny tricks.

I’m sure I’m not the first one to think this but could a case be made that all of our god damn tech devices are a new form of life?  Instead of reproducing, disseminating and evolving the old-fashioned way, they’re parasitically getting another species to do it for them.  Almost like a macroscopic virus  :o.

Edit:  Just looked it up and apparently most biologists say viruses don’t fulfill all the requirements to be considered to be “alive”.  Still an interesting idea in my opinion.

What percentage of skate videos can you identify the trick by seeing the first second of the rollup?

Sorta random thoughts about skate videos in general. Went to prems of bag of suck, fully flared, mind field, stay gold, pretty sweet and more I can't remember and it was always like an event to look forward to that built and built. I think fully flared was the absolute peak of skate video decadence. As far as the time and travel and production value. Pretty sweet was the biggest downer like it actually felt in the cinema like everyone was disappointed as it was playing. Like as a whole the skate community sobered up and thought oh yeah we don't actually want this anymore. And this was further felt by talking to people after the prem.
Anyway fast forward ten years and right now I'm looking at tubi and see they have some of the Crail videos including "the flare". I never even bothered to watch this when it came out and totally forgot it existed. Put it on and barely made it past the intro before turning it off.
But why did I and everyone else get over this type of video? What do i care how much they spend or travel? Maybe it's just like those crazy hamburgers restraunts make with way too much stuff on it. Like more should be better but it's not really an enjoyable eating experience

The internet used to feel like walking into a giant abyss of a library. Almost everything and damn near anything, the unknowns and the familiar, just free to walk around this place. To discover.

Now, you enter the library and are immediately stopped at the front door. You get to wait around in the foyer while some entity goes in the back and brings you things. The most power you have is to ask “do you have anything about this subject” but it’s like talking to a golden retriever, constantly, almost INCESSANTLY bringing you random shit, to which you may say “yes I like this” or “no I don’t like this”. What the fuck is happening? Yes/no answers are not conducive to exploration. It’s mind numbing, overwhelming, and impossible to stay focused. STOP TRYING TO GET TO KNOW ME WEIRDO. I’m so sick of being micromanaged.

There's like a bunch of camp something, ones with loud in the title and like strange or something sort of like regular show or gravity falls. This should be a good thing because I have endless hours of shit to put on to entertain kids but I just had to look for like an hour for their show they like while they winge "nah not this one it's different".

I like playing this game with new video parts. I like to try to guess what trick the skater is going to do based on the skater's stance, where they're looking, what they are rolling up to, etc. I think I get about 40% of the tricks correct.

I'm enough of a nerd that I'd put it up in the 99% mark. There's something about specific videos for sure tho like anything new I can probably guess the trick easy enough but if I remember the trick two minutes later is something altogether different. For some reason I used to think the best thing to do is learn how to do every trick with your feet set up the same. Dustin Dollin and Jeremy Wray style. I could kinda do it for most things but I don't know if size 13 feet make it easier or harder

Would life be better or worse if instead of skateboarding in the Olympics it was scootering.
I'm 100% claiming western Sydney is the scooter riding capital of the world. Wherever you're from if you think you have a lot of scooters I guarantee we got ten times more.
If scootering was in the Olympics skateboarding would be near impossible at any parks etc but on the other hand it would push skating out of the mainstream and have less comp oriented parents etc I don't mind skate contests I'll watch sls xgames whatever but the whole calling it a sport shit can stop

Is it weird that I'm glad I'm not gonna go see my friend tomorrow. Me and a buddy were suppose to drive to Palm Springs to go see him. I was talking to him and he told me that he cant really hang out and that we should reschedule for another day. I'm kinda relieved cuz I didnt really feel like driving 2 hours out there and I wasnt in the mood to drink to the point of not being able to drive back home later.

How fucking gnarly would it have been to be a solider in big ancient battles?  Knowing that in the best case scenario will be for you to commit multiple, up-close murders, all while knowing the enemy is trying to do the same to you.  People killing and being killed everywhere you look…  It was probably more terrifying and gory than we could possibly imagine.

There are several examples of soldiers literally shitting themselves right before combat began.  And imagine seeing multiple armored war elephant charging towards you.  I wonder what thoughts were running through their heads.

Just thinking about how crazy it was that only until maybe two years ago there was a circus that came to town and would just put up some temporary fences and have a bunch of lions just hanging out in there. It wasn't secure or private or anything like for two weeks basically anybody (myself included) could just walk right up to the fence and see some lions for free. The fence wasn't even that high pretty sure the lions could just jump over it or even knock it over if they wanted.

Not sure what to call it for this thought I had, so I will just refer to skateboarding as a "sport" here so I can compare it to examples of traditional sports.

As a sport gets older and more established, and things become standardized, do the people doing it tend to have more uniform styles? Like you look at footage of old basketball players, baseball players, boxers, and other sports, and some of the early stars had pretty idiosyncratic styles. But as these sports have become more standardized, you rarely see players with a really unique style. It's like everyone gets trained to have similar movements and ways of playing, and also people have a tendency to mimic how others do things.

I wonder if the same thing is happening in skateboarding. Are skaters' styles becoming less diverse? You don't see as many skaters with really individual styles as much as you did in the early days of transition and then street.

I taught this kid at the skatepark how to do a proper kick flip today. He was trying to film a double flip fatty to flatty.

I had to let him know that he was doing the trick improperly. He got one then I told him good but that’s some jws kook shit.

He was down to learn and listen and I told him about kalis. He told me about John hill and I said cool yeah he’s a ripper.

I taught the kid about the pockets of the board. I used a Mike Mo name drop to hammer home my facts and to flick with his whole foot like AR style. 
He said who’s MM? Who’s AR?

He put the tips I gave to work.

He did a monster kick flip nice and flat flicked through the bolts and off the nose!

I was like DAYAM KID! Then he almost did  frontside flip and backside flip.

I was like yo! I frickin told you kid. Skateboarding is like doing bank shots. Where you stand puts English on the tricks.

I let him know that he has progressed passed the remive stage of skateboarding and is no longer a beginner. And that it’s ok to watch JH if he likes JH.

Then I said some shit I’ve never said before.

Hey kid i been thinking of becoming a skate coach maybe? It’s kinda against my beliefs but as you can see I can teach and shit.

He looked stoked but it became clear that he had no money at all and his parents probably couldn’t pay for it.

I gave him two bucks and told him I’d show him some more tricks some day.

Now I wonder. If I had a skateboard coaching service rich parents might pay a ton for me to hang with their kids and make them Olympic level skaters.






Maybe two out of 1” rich kids become homeless core skaters who travel to skate. The rest will join the army post 15 minutes of mega ramp fame

I think yes and no. I think we have to differentiate a bit between style and technique. Every couple years people really improve technique of certain tricks e.g look at kickflips every couple years from 88 to maybe 2005 when Reynolds (and many others) really figured out the absolute best a kickflip can be done from a technique point of view but everyone still has their own style.
It's also a bit like how in swimming there was freestyle which originally meant swim any way you want but then in like the 40s or something the Australians invented the Australian crawl, which is basically what everybody calls freestyle because it was so much better why would you choose anything else. But then pretty recently I think USA did a tweak to it and now everyone calls the newer American version of the Australian crawl freestyle. But once again that's sort of technique whereas people can still have different style outside of that specific motion.

Seems to me that when/if we get an emergent, sentient AI operating from within our global information networks; if it chooses to subjugate humans (which it will surely have the capacity to do almost instantly) instead of simply to eradicate us, it won’t be through any kind of physical force.

So no Terminators with laser rifles to our backs corralling us into our pens, sadly.  It will probably just use its seemingly endless pool of data on us and the conclusions it draws to painlessly manipulate us into doing it’s bidding without our being aware of it at all.  That seems a far more efficient way of getting what it wants than the Terminator option, since it probably won’t possess any kind of primal bloodlust like us humans have.

Hope that brightens someone’s day.

If consciousness is located solely in the brain, does that mean that a brain is de facto required for consciousness?

Where in animal evolution did consciousness begin?  Since brains evolved from more primitive structures like nets and clumps of neurons, where along the line did consciousness arise?  Where is the cut-off?  Are starfish conscious?  What about nematodes?  Fish?

Or is it independent of brains as just some sort of inherent property to the universe?

Or have there been (and are) various degrees of consciousness according to whatever biology it’s working with?

If it’s just some weird side effect of many little electric pulses being sent around a huge web of connected points, how is that fundamentally different from a global network artificial intelligence?  So would these systems then have some sort of consciousness?

Well, I don’t know.  I think there would be a major difference with AI because it will have arisen without being tethered to biology, so a lot of bedrock assumptions that we hold about the world would be completely foreign to it: needing to find food, sexual reproduction, sleeping, seeing the world only through one subjective viewpoint and only through the five senses, threat of physical violence and experiencing physical pain, certainty of death, etc etc. 

How differently would the world be perceived by something for which none of this applies?  Maybe it will have its own set of concerns that we would never understand.

Would we be able to bridge the gap or would we be so alien to one another that empathy would be impossible?

i think all consciousness really is is that its sort of an “level” of intelligence that animals and complex organisms eventually reach once a certain point of criteria is reached.

an animal must first understand basic feelings such as pain and pleasure so it knows what to seek out and what to avoid. then base emotions begin to form like fear, greed, and contentment which as symptoms from those base feelings. then more complex emotions soon follow. if an predator or scavenger wants to survive in its ecosystem it would need develop complex thinking such as object permanence, abstract thought and theory of mind. eventually, once this organism becomes sufficient in observing and interacting with its environment, at a certain point they would probably look at themselves in the reflection of water and realize “oh god, thats me, im alive, i exist”.

theres evidence that some animals like dolphins and orangutans have the intelligence of a small human child and can recognize themselves in the mirror and even understand themselves as a living being. in fact, orangutans probably fully understand why their habitat is being destroyed by humans. even elephants have been known to exhibit ritualistic and quasi-religious behaviour based on lunar cycles

Well I think those are two different questions.  I think the “nothing” when we die is a lack of consciousness and we would experience it just like we experienced the time before we were born… that is, no experience whatsoever.

The next point that “nothing” being defined makes it “something” is either some semantic game or is genuinely too profound for me to understand.

I think the term in blader speak is “Unnatural”
And can be applied to
rotation direction or foot placement on an obstacle.

I like fakie fire cracker. Might be impossible to fire cracker forward on blade tho so it might be just fire cracker.

It’s pretty much the exact same tactic as skateboarding fire cracker.  You wanna clip the tip of the stairs and basically do a manual.

What do we call RB mannys? I can’t remember. I did like bombing hills on my toes tho. That’s probably my first RB trick.

Fakie manny hill bomb. Makes sense because my first skateboarding trick was hill bomb. Same with my little brothers’.

Anyway

During my few months of PT blading I liked to land tricks into stairs like it was a bumpy wedge ramp.

I was told by a friend was is a heavy trick back in the day.

Do like alley oop? 180 fakie top soul?
(Rail on the left, counter clockwise 80, Right foot locked over the bar left foot rear wheel on the rail and pow into to the stairs.

So much fun!!! I want go do it rn. Lol.

the big negative to rbs is escaping cops or violence. So difficult

Skateboarding is the best ride for art crimes and shit. 
Hop a fence in seconds and walk down the tracks till you are outside the city’ hop on a bus and be gone.

Or was it just a vanity project?  One last hurrah before they lower her into her sarcophagus?

Also, the trip apparently cost only a paltry $90 million.

Your take is pretty similar to Parmenides, whose line of reasoning was that to speak of something, it has to first exist.
Another way of looking at nothing has been equating it with consciousness, since consciousness by its very nature cannot be an object of consciousness thus it gets around Parmenides objection.
Personally I think it's similar to infinity, if it does indeed exist in some way then it would be incomprehensible to us anyway.

As for what happens when we die? Who knows.

It’s been all down hill post Vietnam/Watergate. I would point to the growth in income disparity that really started to take off in the 80s. The collapse of the auto industry (specifically the auto workers union) was a harbinger of things that followed. I remember being really affected by the movie Roger and Me. That was 89’ and things keep getting worse for the middle class.

For example, you could make a case that our involvement in (and profiting from) WWI was our first big break from being generally isolationist and the start of our constant global military intervention and empire building… something that was a boon in the short-term, but really changed our whole trajectory and planted a lot of seeds of destruction.

You could also make a case for the advent of cable news and social media, which now function as non-stop propaganda machines, causing political polarization and helping intensify our descent into the quagmire of identity politics.

There’s probably a hundred more that someone could justifiably point to.

Regarding the media, I am sure you have seen or at least know about the movie Network? That was 76’. Besides the conventions of the times, the film was pretty much spot on with all the problems with corporate media.

As a result there is not one media source that can be trusted. Little off topic but if you want to post or PM some global news sources I would be most appreciative. I read The Hill for US political coverage as it seems to be the least biased, but I am at a loss for global news.

Is it valid to be genuinely neutral on embattled social issues?  Or is this some sort of cop out… a refusal to fully engage? 

Is there such thing as total neutrality?  If in my waking, conscious mind, I feel completely neutral on a topic, is there still a faint voice somewhere in the recesses of my mind that has an opinion that I can’t (or won’t) hear?

Is there a difference between literally not caring one way or another versus weighing the pros and cons, seeing the merits of both sides but concluding that they perfectly cancel each other out?

What would the world be like if no one had any opinions?  What would that look like?

Is one’s neutrality on a topic de facto supporting whatever is the majority opinion?  For example, if I were to be completely neutral when it comes to gun control -literally don’t care if no one had them or if everyone had 8 guns strapped under their trench coats like Neo in the Matrix, and I live in a country that is obsessed with private firearm ownership, will my indifference and resulting inaction contribute to no change in the current regulations be sort of an accidental, unintentional support of them?

Do you think that there will be some big revelations about the extent of his mental and physical deterioration after his presidency a la FDR’s paralysis or Ronald Regan’s Alzheimer’s? 

There seems to be a very similar thing happening with Diane Feinstein being largely kept hidden away because of her rumored dementia. 

It’s obviously sad when anyone becomes demented with old age, but at the same time it doesn’t seem fair to their constituents to have a severely compromised person as their representative.

I was thinking how in the same way not everyone can manage a physical crisis, not everyone can manage an emotional crisis either. I got invited to a bbq this weekend by some people who havent talked to me in like two years, since i broke up with my ex. Recently I posted a couple things on social media where im having a good time, and suddenly i get these people coming out of the woodwork to hang out. I feel a little bitter that these friends didnt reach out when they knew i was going through hard times, but then i realized maybe their reaction to depression isnt something they can control, in the same way some people see blood and can't deal with it. I don't know if it makes me want to hang out with them, but I feel better thinking their lack of sympathy might not be personal.

Why are we ticklish?  Is there some evolutionary advantage to it or did it sort of unintentionally sneak in there through the back door?

And why is it both (in varying degrees) amusing and uncomfortable at the same time?  What else will make you laugh uncontrollably while simultaneously begging for it to end?  Sounds like my honeymoon.

Are other animals ticklish?  Pretty sure I’ve seen monkeys getting tickled (my mom said I’m not allowed to visit those websites anymore  :()… but are dogs ticklish?  I don’t think they are but maybe I’m wrong.  No way a seahorse is though.  I’d bet my whole paycheck on that.

It would be cool if Aus changed the state names of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria but I don't know what to. First thoughts are probably to something aboriginal but the state lines are just made up and I don't think Aboriginal people had names for areas of land that big.
A flag without the union jack would be cool too but they'd probably fuck it up and do some awful design. I just want the bottom left corner to be the whole flag. Just blue with a white star in the middle. Maybe they can change the star to gold and the background to dark green or whatever combo of those.

TJ Rogers might be the best looking skater in 2022. He has everything except Venture trucks. Why is that? He has the look. Is on Es. Blind might be kook shit but Venture is all up in the DNA of blind.

I feel like if he rode for cooler shit he'd be up there with Lou and others as a historic top dawg style master.

Neither Lou or TJ can touch PJ tho. I know I be single the praise a lot but I gotta let mother fuckers know. If he was my age. Like 5 -7 years older he would be a legit god.

Elissa is the head god. She is my absolute favorite human on a skateboard.

Funny thing is when I got out of jail I ran into a local who was pro at the time I think. Maybe about to turn pro. I knew his father a little.

I said what ever happened to that kid PJ after Maple or whatever.

 Oh he's on ______ and is dating Elissa Steamer.

I felt the jealousy well up in me. I'm like NOOOO! In my mind I think hey I want to date Elissa.

Later I found out he got on Target. I was like damn skating is all the way over.

Idek why I think about this stuff. I was just coming here to talk shit about TJ's poser trucks and talk about how dope the style is.

I hear he's scared of gay people tho. I happen to know that two of the above listed names are both STD (shook ta death) of gays.

Boo! Fuck the industry. Skating isn't even allowed to smd.or sma.

In movies with time travel, when people travel 1,000’s of years back in time, shouldn’t they just immediately get sick from a bunch of old diseases floating around that they have no immunity to?

And wouldn’t they just get everyone else sick with all their modern viruses?

yeah, i've been addicted since forever, too. my mom smoked for sure while i was in there. my dad also smoked a lot. cold smoke was my favorite smell as a little kid. i had this linus blanket i took with me everywhere whose sole purpose was to catch all the cig smoke so i can sniff on it when i need to sleep until i was 5. i started pretty early for real, too. probably also around middle school(14-15 years old). some of my friends probably started earlier than 10 tho.

If there was a reliable psychological assessment (maybe it does already exist?) to predetermine who's the kind of man capable of doing what that piece of shit did to Anna Kruse and her little boy, how high would be their ratio in the police, the army, in silicon valley, in the Nasdaq Top100?

There's two categories for a Christmas movie. Movies specifically about Christmas and movies set in Christmas time that may or may not be about Christmas.

Says me I guess. Haven't watched die hard in forever but is it an office Christmas party where it takes place? I'd say it's category b set at Christmas and the theme of Christmas is in it but it's not specifically about Christmas like a category A movie.

I mean, who’s to say it’s not an allegory about the Nativity?

-

For people in the US where drug companies are allowed to advertise, what’s with these super vague pharmaceutical commercials where they don’t even say what the fuck it does?

It’ll just be like some lady running through a meadow or some guy reading on his couch and then looking up and smiling and then some voice says “Ask your doctor about Ploxanil” or whatever.  It could literally be about anything.

Why isn't it normal to have a sink right next to the front door? I get houses in general predate indoor plumbing by hundreds of years but we've had running water for what 100-120 years? Why do I have to walk all the way thru a house to wash my hands? Or to water plants Ive gotta do twenty trips in and out with a jug of water. If I had a tap on the outside and a working sink just on the inside it would all be fine.

Growing up, my dad’s laundry room was right at the front door and it had a deep heavy duty plastic sink. Didn’t really appreciate that when I was younger

Why doesn’t professional chess just bite the bullet and adapt with the times?  I think any logical observer can see that the obvious conclusion after millennia of human chess-playing is that the only way we can guarantee against cheating is that:

A) all high level chess must be played naked, and
B) a live, high-definition, picture-in-picture video feed of the inside of both players rectums must always be visible

I think everyone will get used to it after a few months.  We’ll think back to a time when we couldn’t watch a player’s heart beat through the capillaries inside his or her anus and wonder how we ever played chess without it.

And just so we aren’t cruel, we can maybe give them translucent raincoats to wear if it’s especially cold in the building.

Dylan threads got me thinking about what if gravis didn't go out of business and the ripple effect it would of had.
Have to assume if gravis kept going it meant burton didn't shit the bed and analog and Quiksilver would of kept going along with quik shoes Reese Forbes and David Clark and probably expanded that. Alien and habitat wouldn't of gone thru those weird hiccups so that means no GT on AH no doom sayers or quasi. Austyn and Alex Olson probably would of got on gravis maybe Danny Garcia, dela, marius instead of habitat.
Arto and tom k wouldn't have gone to nb and perhaps more importantly no Russell Houghton to get all that shit going.

“Go” is an underrated movie and belongs in the later category. 

My third category would be “movies that feel right to watch in December/winter”.   The Prestige is in my list for that

It's weird how the military just kinda decided a hundred years ago is how they'll dress forever. Not the day to day stuff obviously but like watching the queen's funeral and any formal thing they're all going full on olde timey.

Also the suit jacket has to be one of the dumbest designed priced of clothing that we just accepted is the way it is. It's ok that the shoulders are designed in a way that totally restrict movement and if the wearer does move their arms the entire thing lifts or folds all weird people barely ever have to move their arms...

If I’m recalling the details correctly, the formal togas that Roman senators wore were these enormous 20 ft long pieces of fabric that they had to have helpers fold really intricately and they had to keep their left arm raised up at a particular angle while they walked so the whole thing didn’t fall apart.  Plus, no pockets.

stupid is jumping the Great Wall of China. Or conquering the loop-the-loop which is cooler but still a stupid circus stunt.

When this controversy started I wondered if someone could Ollie two tables stacked going over the shorter way but it quickly came off tacky to me.
It’s contrived.
the table in its natural state is a perfect object.
The seats add an extra bit of difficulty getting into a grind or slide on the top while the height is enough to prove your hops for manuals.
Love seeing the progression of tricks over the width.
Keenan’s switch flip could be my favorite clip.

It’s awesome to see our minds blown by simply going over one lengthwise. Is it possible to nollie?

Pretty sure Pat rakestraw did the double table way back but possibly had a bump assist. What's weirder about the table vs say stairs is there's nothing else to it. There's no a to b element of I'm skating to a place and there just happens to be some stairs and rather than get off and walk I can just Ollie them, then to show even more skill do a trick. The table is I'm going into a school just specifically to skate a table. But I guess that's how everybody really skates everything.

I been looking at the new NFS. It's only available for ps5. That's a bummer. I wanted to establish dominance immediately.

There's no way I could ever justify buying a ps5. But if it was Ishod in the game with a dope ass BMW instead of ASAP Rocky I might try harder to get one.

I'm so not apart of that world. I doubt I've ever heard ASAP.

No other BMW owner on earth is as cool as Ishod imo. He would have been perfect in this game.

How much time do people with 6-pack abs spend staring at them in the mirror? 

Watching the way the light dances over the peaks, the shadows of which flood the valleys in darkness.  Whole civilizations, vast, multi-generational dynasties of microbes rising and falling have called the foothills of those ab muscles home……..

  ……..Over or under a combined one hour per week?

For the vast majority of people, they didn’t just acquire them by accident… they’re investing a lot of time and effort and borderline agony into those bad boys, so you’d have to assume that they would consider them to be extremely valuable.

I think the same thing.  I was thinking how weird it is that there doesn’t seem to be much of an anti-war effort.  You’d think there would be huge protests all over the place, but I guess everyone is just on board for how things are progressing.

I feel like we are so thoroughly propagandized and sedated (in ways we probably can’t imagine) that people are somehow able to casually shrug off being the closest to nuclear armageddon since the Cuban missile crisis.  It’s actually pretty fucking impressive.

I’d also partially attribute it to the fact that the people of the generation(s) that were around for Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the more tense moments of the cold war are dying off and are replaced with a generation for whom all that is just some shit that happened a long time ago, and certainly nothing to worry about nowadays.

It was so disheartening and alarming when that little group of senators put together that extremely tepid suggestion that we might consider pushing for a diplomatic end to the war and got ripped so hard (by both democrats and republicans) that within a few hours they renounced everything they said in the letter and blamed it on their staff for releasing it without their knowledge.  Are dissenting opinions just a no-go anymore?

Every time I see Biden get completely lost trying to walk away from a podium, trying to shake someone’s hand that doesn’t exist or does that creepy whisper-into-the-mic thing, I just can’t believe that this is (supposedly) the dude in charge.  His brain is turning into a ball of wet newspaper before our eyes.

Could you imagine if he were the president during the Cuban missile crisis instead of JFK?  We’d be fucked.

I guess one good thing is that if a global nuclear war happens, at least we won’t have to wonder what it would be like.  And if you somehow survive the blasts and radiation, you could get the chance to assemble a tribe of fellow disfigured survivors to live in the sewers battling and enslaving rival sewer tribes, eating crickets and drinking irradiated rats milk.  Could be kinda cool.

 The questionable assumption (imo) isn't whether the felled tree, with no witnesses to the event, made a sound.  The questionable assumption is that the tree in fact, 'fell'.  No more ludicrous to question the nature of the event itself if there is no witness then to ask whether there were perceived 'normal' repercussions like sound.   That's always troubled me.

Lol since that post I decided fuck it and watched a couple shorter videos and not that embarrassed to say yeah it's kinda cool. Obviously there's a lot of tricks I don't like and I don't understand all the intricate differences between grinds or whatever but overall it's totally fine.

Rollerblading is just skiing without snow really.
Got a bit of a Schrodinger's cat scenario if I never watch a rollerblade video I know it's still that goofy thing I kinda remember from the 90s but if I watch one who knows...
[close]
   I'm not sure if rollerblading is cool but I have found that rollerbladers are cool.  Much respect for the ones I bump into at the park -generally they are vets.  Its prolly cool just to get off the couch.  (tbf I have never determined how exactly cool anything is except vulnerability I guess which isn't always easy.)
[close]
Lol since that post I decided fuck it and watched a couple shorter videos and not that embarrassed to say yeah it's kinda cool. Obviously there's a lot of tricks I don't like and I don't understand all the intricate differences between grinds or whatever but overall it's totally fine. Skateboarding still #1 but for a bit of a change like bmx it's  pretty ok
  Omg bmx    - Yumi Tsukuda is very artful worth a watch.  He can legit skate too.  The S and M videos lately are feel gooders.  I can only do fakies myself and go around the pump track. Tried blading around a track with my ex just this year.  I like to jump on a scooter for 5 mins at the park whenever I can cause they're fun and its a flamboyant move.

In the future what will our age be called?
Like stone age, bronze Age, iron age and so on. Plastic age? I guess 70ish years isn't really age, maybe be a hundred by the time we stop using plastic shit if at all

this is cool. we're both in australia and i pondered the same thing on the same day - i came to no conclusion but it's nice to know the thought was being shared.

something i am pondering is how so many dudes i know get their girlfriends or whatever pregnant by "accident". maybe i'm sterile, but what's the deal? it's like they don't understand how sex works or something.

anyone who ever unintentionally/accidentally got someone pregnant got any further info/light to shed?

If aliens come and visit us, I think it would be really cool of them if they just played along with all of the classic alien clichés.

If they make it here, they probably also have the technology to present themselves however they please. 

And they’d certainly be able to research what we think they might be like. 

And if they didn’t opt for our immediate annihilation/sexual subjugation, there’s a good chance that they’re pretty chill.

So I just think it would be nice if, for our benefit, they went through a list of the greatest hits: abductions via tractor beams, landing on the White House lawn and coming out and saying “take me to your leader”… that kind of shit. 

Also, after they adjudicate all the other, more important intergalactic political shit, I’d be curious to know what they think about skating.  I bet they’d be into it.

How do horses see the world? Do they somehow coalesce 2 fields of vision like we do or is it split screen?

Post by: SneakySecrets on November 19, 2022, 12:04:44 PM
How do horses see the world? Do they somehow coalesce 2 fields of vision like we do or is it split screen?

I looked it up… according to Iowa State University:

Horses are equipped to be highly aware of peripheral motion. The motion of anything causes the horse to register what it is (a survival mechanism for the prey animal). Anything that moves, regardless of what it is, may cause the horse to initiate the flight response before a predator begins to approach. Horses use two-forms of vision, monocular and binocular. Monocular vision allows the horse to see on both sides of his head, meaning the left eye and the right eye work independently and see different views. Each eye sees across an arc of approximately 200–210 degrees around the body at one time. The monocular fields straight in front of the horse’s face overlap slightly resulting in a  binocular field between 65 and 80 degrees. The binocular field is responsible for depth perception. A horse’s depth perception is considerably less than for humans. Because of their vision capabilities allowing for a panoramic view, it is impossible to sneak up on a horse.

The blind area is directly behind the animal’s head and body and has an arc of approximately 20 degrees. The front blind spot is directly under the head, immediately in front of the forehead and below the body in front of the horse’s face. A horse can’t see what they eat (grass they graze or grain in the bucket), fingers that stroke their muzzle or even the bit they accept in their mouths.  If a person raises a hand suddenly, they appear to the horse to come out of nowhere.

This seems to be very similar to the sight of other prey animals like rabbits and squirrels and shit.

Assuming it works the same as human eyes/brains I think it's just the classic you can't see what you can't see and not like two or three seperate things going on in their head. Hold your hand between your eyes like you're stopping someone from poking them (3 stooges style) and your hand almost disappears. It's prob similar for the horses blindspot

Imagine if the universe didn’t produce any sort of conscious beings whatsoever.  All that crazy shit going on in the universe: all the black holes, stars, supernovae, planets, multiple light year wide nebulae, 100 billion-ish galaxies and no one or nothing would ever know about it. What a waste.

Would that be a huge bummer?  How could it if there was never anyone or anything to be bummed about it in the first place? 

Or is there some sort of intrinsic value to there being a universe, independent of whether or not there’s anything around to witness it?

Or is a universe without consciousness functionally the same as there being no universe at all?

Or is consciousness somehow fundamentally baked into the universe?  Maybe we since we only experience consciousness through the aperture of a brain and nervous system we can’t really grasp what another form of consciousness would look like without all that stuff.  Maybe the universe is constantly observing itself everywhere at all times.



If you assume that only a living thing can be conscious, if all living things on the planet were to die at the exact same moment, would it really be a tragedy?

There would be nothing to even register that it happened… nothing would ever know.  Likewise, there would be nothing or no one around to feel any sort of sorrow or loss.  Can something even be bad if it literally never causes any negative impact whatsoever on a conscious being?

If that’s the case, then a mad scientist instantly killing every living thing on the planet is infinitely less morally reprehensible than someone using the last square of TP and not putting a new roll on the thing.  Kinda mindblowing if you think about it.

I can’t imagine that anyone is going to read this whole thing.  To anyone still reading, what’s wrong with you?  Don’t you have anything better to do?

Hard one cause you could fix it for like a session but probably fall apart quickly

Pain in arse but best I can think of is you clean the shit out of it, no wax, keyed finish so quite rough not smooth at all then try smash another piece of granite off a side that doesn't matter try use a grinder to shape it to the missing piece
Get a drill and drill like 4 holes in ledge and piece epoxy some rod into holes to hold it and then epoxy everywhere you want it to stick

Lotta work

Otherwise just clean it, rough it up and use a stiff construction grout throw some fibreglass fibres in the mix but I would use epoxy to stick them together just mix that shit in a 711 cup or something you won't need much bro
Clean it up with a grinder after its dried you don't wanna break the bond with the epoxy or it will fall out real quick

No, that's untrue. Of course there were a lot of throughlines between the two world wars, and WW2 might not have happened the way it did if WW1 had unfolded differently, but the international landscape (for instance, Italy & Japan fought on the Allied side in WW1, but were part of the Axis forces in WW2) as well as the way wars were fought (from trench warfare in WW1 to carpet bombing in WW2) changed so dramatically between 1918 and 1939 that no historian in their right mind would claim they're the same war. Also, there were ratified peace treaties after WW1, so they are different wars from a legal point of view as well.

How should I repair this? It's driving me crazy. I don't always wanna be going full tilt to get through the divot
[close]

Hard one cause you could fix it for like a session but probably fall apart quickly

Pain in arse but best I can think of is you clean the shit out of it, no wax, keyed finish so quite rough not smooth at all then try smash another piece of granite off a side that doesn't matter try use a grinder to shape it to the missing piece
Get a drill and drill like 4 holes in ledge and piece epoxy some rod into holes to hold it and then epoxy everywhere you want it to stick

Lotta work

Otherwise just clean it, rough it up and use a stiff construction grout throw some fibreglass fibres in the mix but I would use epoxy to stick them together just mix that shit in a 711 cup or something you won't need much bro
Clean it up with a grinder after its dried you don't wanna break the bond with the epoxy or it will fall out real quick

Hope you been well Flea

Things are going ok. Thanks. I hope it's the same for you.

What I do now is skate the center of the ledge and just grind further or pop out.  It's frustrating because I can't nose grind over these bumps. This is a new problem for me. Could be the 58mm wheels on top of the dents? Idk.

I wanted to just try body filler but I'm really frightened to hurt the ledge. Imagine some old skater who kinda sucks now fucking up the only ledge in town. I'd hate me if I was a kid

I'm heading down there rn I think see if it's dry over there

The Japanese made the first side scrolling video game… these games always go left to right, but they read right to left. 

I would have expected that someone would naturally program it to scroll in the direction they read, but that’s not what happened.  Why?

On one hand, you are denying natural law by focusing on selfish and hedonistic pleasure instead of procreating and caring for the less fortunate.  A child in a man’s body, coddled by a decadent society on the edge of economic collapse.  Just another lemming blithely walking towards its doom, whose only thought is “I hope someone wants to ride a water slide with me” like he’s eight years old.

On the other hand, you, like the ancient Epicureans, value simple pleasures and have no guilt in seeking them for both you and your friends.  To live a life of suffering and tedium is most often an individual’s choice.  While so many of us are the walking dead, sleepwalking through a dreary life, you are so on fire with the possibilities of the moment that you cannot help yourself but try to take as many people as you can to experience what a “life fully lived” feels like, if only for one magical, golden day.

Not really but family won div2 in the 90s, it was from what I got told a dece chunk of change

Bloke I used to work with won 80k a couple years ago and put it into Bitcoin but didn't pull out, we were working together when it was crashing and I remember we were tiling bathrooms and he had his laptop in his bathroom, he couldn't sell or look away...haven't spoken to him in a minute tho

Aaaaand, deadset no cap ex partner and I would play same numbers each week we didn't one week and missed out on something like 1.2,1.4 mil

At the time it sucked but now I'm real glad that happened

Seen blokes on site win lotto and never come back

Hillbilly this old tiler I used to work with he won it twice then got cancer, poor bugger. He hooked his family up real good tho

Dad's mate won almost 4 million on keno when it first came out. This would have been early 90s and that was a metric FUCKTONNE of money at the time

So if one wanted to analogize the war in Ukraine with the beginning of World War I, which isn’t perfect, but basically Serbia and Russia of WWI would be today’s Russia; Austria-Hungary would be Ukraine and the US would be Germany, sort of co-signing and backing their response.  But I don’t think Biden and Kaiser Wilhelm II have similar motivations.

He was a lot less insufferable pre-Covid.  He used to get really good guests, and never really claimed to be an expert on anything outside of combat sports.  He's sucked into the right wing conspiracy now and it's pretty obvious that he's a fucking moron.  I think the quality of the guests went down after he moved to Spotify, I've only bothered watching like 2 episodes in the last couple years.

i believe some are written by the next of kin. if it's a public figure they likely raid their wiki page for highlights. also, obits usually come out close to a wk after death so it's not available the minute the body turns cold, it just seems that way.

I erased a two hour rant.

I'm going skating. I miss my niece and my nephews so badly.

I'm going to go to Boston rn and skate circles somewhere besides the park. It's been hard to park lately. I feel like out of place at the skatepark sometimes. If I do have fun I regret staying there all day thinking about what I could have done elsewhere.

If I had magnesium trucks I would never go to the park. I'm working on a truck that requires me to have a really smooth grinding ledge.

I been thinking about eggs a bunch lately and haven't been there since the beginning of Covid. It sucks it's so close to the skate park. The skate park is a trap.

Here's a video of me teaching the kids two years ago. I'm a failure this time. These are the first group of kids in the family who didn't stick with the skating yet.

Do married couples do "gifts" for holidays that aren't actual tangible items? I'd be way more likely to get married if I knew I could convince my wife to dress and act like cornholio for my birthday, including but not limited to the entire duration of our outing to the Cheesecake Factory.

It’s ironic to me that the vast majority of parents don’t let their small children watch graphic violence in movies and stuff when they’re the most violent out of all of us.  From what I’ve seen, a typical two year-old has no problem getting into a vicious fist fight over another kid trying to take their toy fire truck.

It starts off with an extra meal or dessert, which leads to an increase of calories consumed on a daily basis. The heavier you get, the more calories you have to consume to not feel light-headed and properly function. It’s just not possible to break the cycle to lose weight without making healthy substitutions AND exercise. Medications like most anti-psychotics are known to cause weight gain.
TLDR: need to consume more calories for energy, deficiency in exercise

I’ve been reading about schizophrenia in psychology journals, and I’m having a hard time understanding when a religious experience isn’t schizophrenic. It’s a religious experience if someone thinks that angels or demons are talking to them, but it’s schizophrenic for someone to think that a law enforcement agency is monitoring them?

That's the part i understand I saw it happen in real time with a neighbour who was a rugby player that blew out his knee then like tripled his weight. I should of said more how do they get that heavy and still function normally whereas I let myself go just a bit and can already feel my heart and lungs struggling. I think I'd actually die before I could put on another 100 pounds
As far as your ponderings it's well beyond me. Religious vs schizophrenic based on the observers beliefs maybe

I don’t get it either. The heaviest I got was 235 lbs, which is nearly 100 more than I weighed at my lowest. Even going from 160-180, I was wheezing while walking upstairs. 235 was the point where I became serious about exercising because I was looking at XXL clothes and 42” pants. Some people are just built differently. Smoking one American Spirit makes my fingernails slightly yellow, and I get one or two cuts in my gums, whereas I have a friend who smokes at least one pack of Marlboro Reds per day without any issues.

Back to the weight gain…it was easier for me to function in the 180s because I was still exercising and had flexibility. When I became sedentary and stopped exercising, I gained even more weight, and started having chronic back pain. That plus looking at XXL clothes, made me more motivated. I started working out my core more often and started skating again. It probably comes down to how people are built and how aware they are of their own body. I have a friend who used to be 400 lbs, 6’ 5” without any issues. We’d go on hiking/camping trips and he never had issues climbing rocks or keeping up with the crew. If you have something you enjoy, like skateboarding, it’s harder to get severely out of shape because you want to maintain the consistency of whatever activity that may be.

Edit:
I also used to drink 3 bottles of alcoholic kombucha per day and had no issues. Someone I know got bad gastrointestinal issues after just one bottle.

TLDR: People are built differently and have different tolerances. How much I used to drink on the weekends could result in death for someone else.

I know no one asked, but my take on it is that as a species, we’ve spent like 95% of our time as hunter gatherers or simple farmers where everybody had to work their asses off outside.  So our bodies and brains are geared for that kind of life.

It really hasn’t been very long ago that we started to be able to live primarily indoors, sedentary lifestyles with easy access to an essentially limitless amount of calories.

That just seems like way too radical of a change in too short of a timespan, so it makes sense that our  bodies and minds go kinda haywire when they’re deprived of all the outdoor exercise that they were built for..

It's interesting but weirdly my non scientific in anyway theory also basically books down to just what people are used to. I was always super fit played sports did a ton of running and even worked outside doing laboring including a gnar job where I'd be doing 50km average everyday while also cutting down trees and carrying heavy shit. I feel like the problem for me is when it went bad I was just fucked whereas these people have had a whole life of never exercising that their bodies are just used to it.
 I do have huge tolerances for eating garbage tho like I could just endlessly drink soda and eat candy and never feel sick whereas some big friends I had would eat like half a pack of Haribo at the movies and be crying they have a tummy ache for the rest of the day

You don't need gravity to stand on a flat surface. You would only need it to stand on the side of a sphere.

I am not the brightest bulb in the physics department but I think that gravity is needed to stand on a flat surface. In space where there is 0 gravity i suppose one cant stand on a flat surface (imagine bringing your skateboard and trying to stand on it). Maybe I didnt phrase my question well enough but I was imagining a flat earth surrounded by space/a sphere..

Have you gotten blotter or anything of that sort delivered? I assume you live in a smaller city where cops don’t have much to do, and you give off the appearance of someone selling stuff. It used to be an issue for me a decade ago, but it stopped after I stopped wearing anything tie-die or anything vibrant, and switched to neutral colors.

Quotas are a real thing and graffiti/drugs is usually what they target skateboarders for because those have harsher sentencing.

That got me thinking- management has these hidden agendas, purposely keeps me in the dark on things, tests me and then tells me later- it all feels disrespectful and slimy af. Yet, despite all that, my coworkers give them endless praise for shit like incorporating dei talking points into the companys mission statement and seems to hold the company in some higher regard because it’s a liberal environmental industry

And what if the person is super clumsy and prone to accidentally ripping pages?  Will some head librarian have to step in and stop the proceedings for the good of the book?

I have a lot of thoughts about this.  Are you talking about one specific episode or an overall trend you’ve noticed?  Why would they set her up?  Some sick misogyny on the set?

Do you remember the salad physical challenge?  I always liked that one for some reason.

And how ironic is it that Mark Summers suffered from crippling OCD, yet hosts a show where slime and food and shit is getting splattered all over the place.  I think I read somewhere that he’d carefully comb all the fibers of his shag carpeting so they all faced the same direction.

I know I'm showing my age here, but I always felt like the producers of Family Double Dare set the Mom up purposely to fail on the last obstacle. And I always wondered how shitty her kids would act on the drive home to her for not finding the final flag in the kiddy pool filled with green oatmeal.
[close]

I have a lot of thoughts about this.  Are you talking about one specific episode or an overall trend you’ve noticed?  Why would they set her up?  Some sick misogyny on the set?

Do you remember the salad physical challenge?  I always liked that one for some reason.

And how ironic is it that Mark Summers suffered from crippling OCD, yet hosts a show where slime and food and shit is getting splattered all over the place.  I think I read somewhere that he’d carefully comb all the fibers of his shag carpeting so they all faced the same direction.

Would you rather go on Double Dare or Guts?

My memory is fuzzy, but I definitely think it was a trend rather than a once in a while occurrence. I could be remembering it wrong though. I never thought past just feeling bad for the lady for costing her family a stay at Universal Orlando.  Misogyny could be their motive. Like maybe they hated women or their Mom, and this was their way to stick it back to them. Maybe they felt it was bad TV if they had the kids blow it at the end with them crying because all they got was a Bushnell telescope. Mom's are tough and are able to handle being the fall guy could've been the reason, I'm not sure.

I kinda remember the salad physical challenge with them having salad bowl helmets on, winging vegetables at each other and shit trying to catch em.

And yes I remember hearing about Mark Summers years after the show stopped and his OCD. Now did this show trigger his OCD, or did he have it before? Because that seems like a shit job to shoot for if you're combing your shag carpet the same direction every night. Dude had to be hyperventilating during commercial breaks. Maybe these producers knew he had it and they are more sadistic than I thought. Fucked up if that's the case.

I'm not familiar with Guts, so I'd have to say Double Dare for sure.

It just dawned me why they would have the mom in the pizza: she’s likely the slowest and least nimble of the family so they park her there in the pizza so she just has to crawl around a little bit.  I also think the families might have the chance to strategize and put their own lineup together.  Double Dare tested the mind as well as the body.

He has a book where he talks about his ocd (Everything in its Place… good title). I think I’m going to get just because I’m curious.

I actually just watched one of the shows because of this thread and I remembered how lame the pizza one was.  Both of the families were dumber than a box of rocks haha

Go to either guard and ask them "if I asked the other guard if your door leads to freedom, what would they say?"

If I asked the truthful guard, they would truthfully convey the answer the lying guard would give. If I asked the lying guard, they would lie about the truthful guard's answer.  The truth will always be the opposite of whatever the given answer is. If the answer is yes, I'll pick the other door. If the answer is no, I'll pick the door I'm in front of.

That one took me quite a while. Good one.

Does not wanting a male masseuse mean I’m insecure or homophobic?  It’s not that I need them to be a young hot woman, in fact, quite the opposite.  I’d really prefer them to be a little older and experienced, and not so attractive that my mind wanders to inappropriate places.  Someone with the strength to work things out, but also gentle when it calls for it.  If I were an athlete and needed some serious work done, sure, give me a dude.  But if I’m going for a soft tissue/relaxation massage, I’d prefer not having another man oiling me up.

You might think about why you consider gender to be an important/noteworthy attribute in this regard. It kinda reads like you believe men can do more "serious work" on your body whereas women are more sensual, which seems to align pretty well with traditional concepts of masculinity and feminity and gender rolls.
Or you could just book a woman for the appointment and move on. It's your body, you can absolutely just decide who gets to touch it and who doesn't without providing any reasons.

This probably societal not spiritual  but I do think old ladies really do have the most healing energy - old people in general have a lot of wisdom but I’d rather have an old lady do serious work on me then a dude. - like I’d trust an old lady to do that neck cracking thing - but an old man?

Are our brains capable of conceiving of a post-apocalyptic world?  All we have ever known is order and procedure.  I think we’ll be surprised at first but then we’ll quickly adapt.

That first year or two is going to be fucked up though.  People are going to be murdering each other with claw hammers for cans of tuna fish.  Mass starvation.  Genocide.  Mad max 2…

But after ten years or so, those that survived, by strength or guile will found another society that echoes ours.

Are vulcs and boardfeel responsible for bad style? Good style probably comes from NOT being able to feel your board too much and perfecting the motions that work for skateboard tricks. When you're controlling the board with too much "feel" it's less stylish because you're doing it more based on manipulating the board directly according to how if directly feels, rather than with practiced motions. IDK if this makes sense.

I think there's been way too many skaters who prefer vulcs with good styles to really blame the shoes. While I miss the days of guys like cale nuske stomping the absolute living shit out of every trick there was still chima in authentics doing the same. I think it's more loose trucks fucking up people's style than the shoes. (Or maybe a combo of both with like some low cut cons or lrabs or whatever). I guess it's also mostly down to what people like or dislike personally I hate the wiggly boys style of skating like gifted hater for lack of better example

Follow up question: How do skid marks play a role in that community?

Well there’s a whole science to them.  The trained eye and nose can glean all kinds of information about someone just from their skid marks believe it or not.  Based on the size, smell, texture and color alone, you can accurately deduce someone’s general body size, age, diet, a1c levels etc.

I’d say most in the community vividly remember the time they spotted their first healthy skid mark.  Or so I’ve heard.

I think what I love about cats the most is their sense of agency, especially with feral cats. No one is telling them shit, and you can't make a cat act like less of a cat so you kind of have to let them be themselves in ways you'd never have to allow another animal. I think that's sorta dope and it elevates them above other domesticated animals in my mind in terms of my level of respect for them in the animal hierarchy. Dogs just seem like brainless drones that overreact to stimulus.

Why haven't these social media apps adapted a walkie talkie feature yet?  I want to jump into the dms of my buddy, press a record button and have it immediately send the audio over.  And yes it's cause all these great farts are going to waste otherwise

pretty sure this had been done and didn't really catch on

This is silly but I’ve always had this idea of a movie/series where the protagonist hit real world assets or approximations of those assets while maintaining her secret identity. Basically a real gritty spy/antihero story. I know fucking Black Widow already exists but I want specific details and plot points to be very different and with as many realistic consequences as possible while keeping the story alive. I don’t know how believable it would be for one person to kill crime bosses, dictators, warlords, billionaires, and influencers, but let’s assume the protagonist has some sort of power on top of insane skills. This movie is dumb total fantasy fulfillment.

I don’t think I should name real world names here.

1b. Does viewers' inability to more clearly indicate what they like/dislike exacerbate the divide between the right and left in America as it reinforces reductionist thinking practices?

Saw photos of the 3rd party Madcatz style Xbox controller they use to pilot the craft.

I kinda hope so altho no contact at all would be more optimal. When I'm meeting someone sure go for a handshake but couple years ago it was at a point where I was shaking like 40 people's hands everytime I went skating or got a beer etc. Turn up at a park can't just say hey and start skating but have to shake everyone's hand then some other crew turns up and now have to shake all their hands then all over again when I'm leaving. One good thing about covid is it replaced all this with a thumbs up in the general direction of a group of people. (For a short while)

When Person A says “I agree with you 110%” to Person B, doesn’t that mean that they are somehow  agreeing so hard with Person B’s argument that it supersedes their agreement by 10%? 

…So they are disagreeing by that extra 10% because   Person A can only agree 100% with their argument.

So couldn’t you make the argument that they are only in 90% agreement?

Does that make any sense to anyone?  What, anonymous internet person, do you think about that?  ???

Not trying to be annoying but were any of these people trying to invite themselves over potentially romantically interested?  I’m so aloof I haven’t even realized someone was trying to make inroads in the past, if you know what I mean.  If not, my bad.  I agree it sounds invasive/nosy but it probably means, even if on a friendly level, they like you.

Yes.
Just let Australia be the canary in the coal mine. It gets stupid hot and has the smoke for months but people still skate. You just have to be smart about it, bring extra water, be purposeful in your session (think about what you want to do before you get there, don't just stand in the sun getting cooked like a moron) find shade to rest in etc.
It's just the inverse of places that get really cold, I'm sure there's people who are like oh it's not too much snow I can still have a session

All new TVs now have built in Netflix, YouTube etc but using it sucks because you have to scroll thru menus with just the arrow buttons.

The main reason "everything sucks now" is mostly just we have too much stuff. My YouTube autoplayed some clip of Russel Brand and a YouTube dweeb talking about why Hollywood sucks now and it was so fukn stupid. "We don't have superstars anymore it's just characters" well that's a complete load of horseshit we still have like a hundred actors who sell movies just off their names.
"No one makes original movies anymore" again you can go all the way back to the 1950s and they're already remaking shit from the 20s.

Basically until like 35-25 years ago everything was disposable so people didn't worry about things so much. You'd just go to the movies a couple times a year and watch whatever was on tv every now and then and get on with your life. It wasn't until the mid 90s the majority of people had VHS players at home (obvs people still had them earlier but not the majority) and it wasn't until the mid 00s or early 10s people had collections of hundreds of DVDs they can watch at any time. Now that we can just click and watch literally everything ever made so we are just spoilt for choice.

That observation about the aftertaste fading is right on. It's like I need that saltiness and savoriness to stay on my tongue.

I think I'm doing okay in the responsibility department then because I will often come close to finishing off a whole bag or pint in one sitting. I'll leave just a little to console myself that I didn't eat the whole thing like a glutton with no self-control.

Salem's the most skate blessed place I've been since well before 911.

The attitude of the public towards at least my skating is outstanding.

The thing I have going on in my home town is such a departure from the past it mounts to a near religious experience near every recent session.

When I think I'm going to be bounced people ask me to do a trick andi deny them high fives blaming sweat and smile at them to kill that thought.

Sometimes a boomer gen tourist will fuck with me and refuse to move 2'... say something like it's a free country......but i have back up curbs upon back up curbs.
They exist in near total harmony within their environment so Ill talk light shit and dip.

I wanna know...

Asking the parents is always appreciated. Maybe there's a specific toy they're already into like magnet tiles and they would want an extra refill of pieces or something. They'll gladly let you know though!

I been grinding like crazy trying to make money to pay for the rehearsal space that's full of my gear.
The recording is done so mofos with full time jobs don't have their part again.
I can't get these fools to practice when we're behind on rent.

This is a lose lose lose.

Idk how I'm going to be able to make this happen. I already miracled $300 from selling my albums.

Totally fuckin fucked.

I gotta find this shit f
Before the 20th. Then I'm emptying the space before the next month.

It sucks I can't even trust my closest homies to come up with 140 bucks a month

I spontaneously came accross a podcast called "Not Today, Pal" hosted by the actor & actress who played Tony Sopranos' kids in the show The Sopranos.
Truth be told, I have not yet seen the whole series of The Sopranos but my ponderance today isn't really about The Sopranos or the Not Today, Pal podcast.
My ponderance is about their podcast logo:

How much do you spend on candy etc to give out to trick or treaters and about how many would probably come to your house?


Just noticed at the shops they have put all this Halloween candy to give out even tho trick or treating isn't really done in Australia. There's seriously like 6 schools within 2 miles of my house I could be up for hundreds of $ if this shit takes off.

there's universal healthcare where i live, people bellyache about the wait times, but they're wrong because realistically spending a day in a waiting room every few years is a small price to pay for everyone having access to quality medical treatment. its still a b to navigate the medical system though, bureaucracy and egos.
The process of getting to a physician you trust and a helpful diagnosis can be grueling and like you said, scary and depressing. But when im sick or hurt i feel that everything is kind of shit no matter what, so i try not to trip on the system.

I only go for emergencies or when i need bloodwork for something like a tic bite.

You from Aus? You should routinely just check that your doc is still available. Heaps of places don't have free appointments anymore and you might have to use a bit of planning if you want to get seen at all.

For uncle flea yeah unfortunately leaving a docs kinda confused is pretty normal. I have dealt with some very shitty ones but generally doctors do actually want to help you (or at least get you out of there quickly) so getting them to write stuff down usually isn't a problem. Also couldn't hurt for you to plan ahead and write a clear list of questions/what you need to get sorted before you go in.

yeah, i sometimes have an awkward awareness of the word "trick" when i hear it or use it in conversation - deep down i feel that is is a little devaluing to skateboarding, or maybe deep down i'm just cut that what i do are "tricks" and that skateboarding is silly and not as cool as i think it is.

This popped into my head after reading the BHADWP2 thread where people are complaining about Stu’s hardcore band shirts or whatever.
What compels people to be so up their own ass about whether or not someone is a “legit fan” of the band t shirt they’re wearing? Why does it truly matter to You in the grand scheme of life? Does calling them a “phony” stroke your ego and make you feel high and mighty?

I’ll admit, at one point in my life (teenage years) I truly gave a fuck about someone wearing something skate related without skating. But, if you’re in your mid-to-late 20s and older and you STILL care about that shit, you need to check yourself.

I try to have as few expectations as possible about how much or what I'm gonna see. Maybe I have one piece in mind that I'm interested in, that's it. The less I care about anything in particular, the more I'm able to enjoy the experience. I like having the mindset that I could go in and come right back out or stay for hours, and it wouldn't make any difference, either could be could.  It isn't always possible, but sneaking in might be the best, because then the art becomes secondary and it can more easily surprise you. In practical terms, if there's a marked route, I don't follow it, and if there are crowded areas, I avoid them (I'm aware this sounds contrarian and silly, but oh well). I also like to sit down for awhile. Great post, now I want to visit a museum.

Here's what works for me.
Multiple visits is really good. On the first visit to an exhibit I can see what's there, get an idea of the layout and content. Then when I return to that exhibit I already have a framework for what's there, so my mind isn't busy building a map and a catalog, and I can just look at things.

I haven't properly tried it with a new date but museums also seem like a really good spot for a first date.

People keep bringing up some stuff you inject into your stomach. They say it heals all things and makes you skate like king fuckin Kong. For 300 a month. Has something to do with hormones in your body.

Wtf are these fools trying to do to me?

If you skate an obstacle connected to a skatepark that was not made for skating, like a set of stairs or a rail leading into the park, does that count as street?

Would it truly matter if I were wiped off the face of the earth? I'm nothing and no one to anyone. I find comfort in my own demise. Why can't I just "check out" if I don't want to be here anymore?

When you are paying someone back with a meal, it’s really got to be a big, heavy steak, right?  Actually asking, don’t know if there’s anything better.

What other options are there for people that aren’t meat eaters?

“Reactionary”: why is that a pejorative?

“Reactionary”: why is that a pejorative?

Interesting question, I’ve heard the term but didn’t necessarily consider it derogatory.

Google brought up a couple answers along these lines: “Reactionary is someone who seeks to regress to a previous mode of production/social system. A conservative wishes to maintain things as they are, and a progressive seeks to advance to the next step of development.”

make America great “again” could kinda encapsulate the rally cry of a reactionary in a pejorative sense.

I can understand why someone, let’s say a black person, would consider the statement vaguely threatening. Exactly how far back would America need to revert in order to be great again? ???

I can also understand a non-pejorative case for someone who wants to express their concern about  behavior that is so “progressive” it blurs healthy boundaries.

I don’t think I actually like skateboarding. I’m not sure if I actually like anything or if the things I “like” are just repeated actions like smoking. Everything just feels like a worthless raisin.

Is it possible you’re experiencing a depressive episode? I felt like everything was made up of meaningless grey blobs, but that’s not too different from worthless raisins.

I recently had to move. There is a waxed ledge on the property. It doesn’t look well worn, so I assume it’s a bust. But can I skate it since I live here? What if I tell the property manager I thought it was an amenity when I moved in?

@ChuckRamone If the roll up to that obstacle came from outside the skatepark, I guess it's kind of street maybe?

Why do so many faces of skateboarding shit on Slap and just refer to it as “message boards” when their actions nearly always show that they lurk and may even participate under pseudonyms?

I’ve been active here on and off practically since the board’s inception and I know there have been darker days than others but overall Slap pals are good folk and the board are a chat about skating and other things. If there’s something you don’t like, just ignore it.

Anyway, starting to ramble but I just wish industry faces were more honest with themselves and posted up or shut up.

Second ponder, if slap pals really wanted to they could produce an amazing mag to rival thrasher and the rest of the mags/zines out there.

That's a great point @fakie nollie, I feel similar.

For sure. Sometimes i start before i hit play. I looking for rick flip front feeble to forward. You so its still a fakie big heels. If you go back to switch is not a rick flip anymore imo. Think about the attack too. You gotta pop that shit get your foot and board fully over the rail and trap it with your back foot.
If i wanted to learn that id probably use a curb then a bench on a bank to figure out how to get in. I feel like it works but how to trap it against a round rail?
You could tail bone really easily.  I had surgery on my ass bone over an old metal curb bite. Took about 10 years to become a serious issue. I see myself get the back of my knee on my front foot on the rail over and my other knee cap getting dusted at the same time.

Fakie fs big heels front feeble. im gonna go throw one at the bottom wrung of the bike rack tomorrow. You know just to see if im asking the entire industry of pros for the impossible. I bet its def happened on vert in some nameless back yard by some 30 something on LSD, idk.  Fuck that might not even be a Rick flip.

Why would anyone latch onto the whole fuck your feelings idea/don't care if you are offended idea? They act like they wouldn't be bitching and moaning. if a politician put a ban on guns and told them to suck it up and not be a bunch of fucking pussies crying about it. I say it because I see the bumper stickers, and in my mind there is no more obvious way to show your insecurity than by expressing through a bumper sticker that you aren't insecure.

People used to skate in air Jordan 1’s.

Imagine paying $180 for skate shoes.

I think I saw someone actually skating in Jordan 1 highs the other day.

What is the best shoe brand to support?

What if it hurts my feet? What then?

Why the fuck am I watching videos that explain what the fucking natural dying process is like?!

Why does reality seem so artificial, and why can’t I ever seem to get things right at work?

Why do I always get freaked out so easily?

Why do most decisions I make at work seem to be the wrong one?

Why is it so damn hard to communicate like a “normal” person?

Why can’t I just go live in woods by myself? Why is that a bad thing?

Why am I posting my running thoughts?

You know another one?
Stores that say “welcome in”
I never heard that expression, then a few years ago, it became the default greeting at tons of places.
