Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

[layzieyez]

Nice! Job well done. Are bugs feasting on you out there?

Not stoked: Inverter coolant pump went out in my car and dealership wants $500 to replace,  but also charging $100 just so they can say that's the problem when I already checked the code on my reader and AC is cutting off because system is overheating.

Stoked: I can buy genuine OEM part for $150 and do it myself with the help of YouTube. Looks easy and only cost a quarter of what dealership is asking.

Ordered a bunch of weed edibles and some nicotine gum to try to quit my smoking habit, not fully stoked cuz I'll probably fail

Nicorette spray helped me quit. It tastes bad, but it works on cravings pretty quickly. And then eventually you kind of like the taste. Weird stuff, but I liked it.

never heard of the spray I'll give it a try if this pack of gum doesn't work.

When I wanted to quit drinking for a bit I ate shrooms then the next day felt like I had the worst hangover. Didn’t drink for 3 months.

[Garnet]

interesting strategy, I've had an easy time keeping my drinking in check over the years mostly cuz I don't binge

Thanks (I think this was to my post   )

I'm surprised no mosquitoes yet and no real issues. So, far it is a great place to just sit and enjoy the summer. However, I worry the ants might take over by the end of summer

It was, and ants sucks.

I have never tried but I remember my late grandparents used to sprinkle cinnamon around the house to keep ants away

I'm closing in on 24 hours with no tobacco and only half way through my 30 pack of gum. Might actually be able to kick these fuckin death sticks

DIY boric acid ant bait recipes work well for me for both sugar and grease ant types. It also kills roaches that decide to make a meal of it too and boric acid isn't terribly toxic to you, but I'd keep it away from areas pets can reach.

Thanks for the ant advice.

I bought some Raid traps and they are beyond worthless. I tried to push some of the ants into the trap and they still wouldn't take the bait.

You need to wage war between society, i assume they are leaf cutters?, they are basically the only other species that are pinnacles of ant evolution in the sense that they have very large colonies, are highly socially sophisticated and have lots of divisions. So you need army ants, they will attack the mature colony, soldiers of both species will face and engage in an absolutely cataclysmic battle that will go on for days before the army ants should finally break through the defense. The leaf cutters have many soldiers, they produce very large ones at that, a soldier weighs hundreds of times what a worker weights. The soldiers really can’t do much work for the colony though, and this is what we exploit. They are massive, they are very expensive, and they are only for one purpose. The army ants have each other. Great numbers of the huge leaf-cutter soldiers – thousands of them – will be recruited to the front lines to try to defend against your army ants. I can guarantee you that eventually they are not going to be successful. The army ants always end up breaking through. if you cripple the army ants 30 to 1, and monitor them daily, picking them off with a nerf gun from the rear of the formation, for every 10 inches of space gain, find the mean of the rate of the invasion and use the area under that curve to figure out how many army ants you will need to start off with, so that when they finally win, they will be significantly weak enough that a couple of healthy bark scorpions should be able to finish them off. Let me know if you need a scorpion guy.

Had a wild experience in the airport this morning.

Security goes through my bag and tells me I can't bring my trucks on my carry on. He tells me I can go back to the ticket counter and see if I can check my bag. Now mind you that my flight was just gonna board in like 20 minutes. I go to the counter and they tell me I can check my bag, it's already closed. So I go run to my car in the parking lot with my carry on bag, drop off my trucks in the trunk and run back. I have to go through security again. My mom keeps calling me telling me that I need to board. So I keep running and reach my gate and it was closed. I was bummed. Luckily my mom calls me tells me get to gate 11. I run to that and by the grace of God they were still checking in flights. Give them my ticket and pass out on the bridge to the plane.

When the whole Virus thing is over people can get back to "normal". Which is cool but on the other side I like how everybody is chilling right now.

So I´m stocked about people getting back together, but not stocked on a stressful life.

[Dr-Feelgood]

resigned from my job and put in my three weeks notice....happy for a change but ill also miss alot of the people at my work, we have a good crew going and its not a bad job at all but diving into the unknown will be good for me

[A Not At All Naughty Chemist]

Got my own place for the first time and i'll get the key tomorrow but it's in a pretty sketchy neigbourhood. Curious to see how it'll all play out

[FrenchFriedClownFingers]

i just dont think i;; be able to work shit out with my dad. i after much introspection and self inventory have come to conclusion that i h need lifelong therapy most likely and my father is old school minded, he thinks you can power through it. i guess it's hard to accept that i got really good at keeping quiet

i am very stoked on that i will not have to worry about money for awhile but i really would like something to bring some money in weekly. i am working on all my hobbies a lot so who knows. i found a pair of all black halfcab pros with the white soles for half price brand new online and also found a set of bones v3 wheels 50mm new.

ive got a lot of skate gear horded up since the pandemic has me sketchy and im getting much better. it kind of sucks. thats also something im not stoked on is getting better at skating because i see down the line i will not be able to afford to burn through shit like i am currently. i've never shit through a board in a month until this point in my life, it's bitter sweet.

i really feel i have to apologize for the way i post, my disorders are in high gear plus im just zoned out all the time and i get overly excited about stuff i like as a child would..it kind of sucks being peter pan yall but when you have nothing worthwhile to live for, why not?

Not stoked to have just puked a bunch and had diarrhea.

Super stoked that I feel much better though!

I needed my bearings back so that's good and these trucks already claimed by my nephews who are learning hills so I'm stoked.

It breaks my heart when I give stuff to other kids in the family and then they ditch it like it's a pet rock.

I did a set up for my nephew M. He was really bummed on the deck.

I was like yo you can't skate really and these are 8" trucks you're grandma got.
I only have the rain board rn. There's a pandemic rn so we can't go to a shop...

It will teach you to ditch shit foot and do a kickflip from center board look it's got marks for kids to learn with.

Send clips we'll upgrade as you get better. I promise.



"I want a long board" (sigh) my thoughts are you can't roll down hill kid or listen at all.

I think longboards are like two $300. Kids tripping if he thinks I'm ever dropping cash on a long board. It against my religious beliefs I'm sorry.

Short board is the way even if you're just doing hills. I love hills. Kid wasn't going to be doing hills anytime soon because of the hills are illegal in that town.

So after much complaining

I did custom bushings for him because he wanted tensor tight trucks. I gave him my 80hds because he liked soft wheels with a brand new set of reds because he said the other stuff that kept skating after with No issues was too slow.

I was getting bummed on it but whatever man.
I was trying to help the kid. I was that kid.

 Yo it's all stupid shit going on on that end of the tree. And the last time they came out in 91 they got me on drugs and there was a huge family blowout. When they came up here during the pandemic history just repeated itself.
I feel so bad for the kid his family is drifting BY CHOICE further into madnesses upon madnesses and I couldn't help at all.

So
He never used any of this shit. Nobody tried to make him go outside. They didn't make the kid brush his teeth or shower.

The one kid who's doing all right they say is "autistic and treat like him like s***.

Ranting

Maybe it's because I asked his grandmother my aunt why do all three of your kids push shit foot? Is it from scootering? That's usually the case.

She said their dad does too!!! and we died laughing.

I have friends who skate like that. I don't care anymore. If that's how you want to represent your art go for it more power to you. I think it's more dangerous

Im teaching our kids it's wrong. I'm teaching that switch push is important.



Well anyways the s***'s back and I don't think Ill be seeing these kids again. That's a sad.

I definitely don't want their adults around my other nieces and nephews after seeing the radius of the impact crater they left when they departed.

They cause nothing but mud every where they go and I'm running a fine tuned program of not repeating the past mistakes of others.

I really tried but they was definitely going to fuck up the program.

Long rant this should be in mental illness.

[Frank]

get well soon man

[layzieyez]

I hope you're ok. What's the recovery like for that? Please let us know if we can do anything to help.
