Things You Pondered Today

[JB]

  Theyre sure as fuck not taking Bowies shit down from spotify.  Typical bs.

Why would they take it down? Fill me in here.

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? 

[childhood]

What the fuck, I thought you were like 15?

I'm assuming Cigs is talking about how Bowie fucked like 16 year olds? Maybe that's been getting renewed attention lately, cause of all the R.Kelly stuff going on?

Pretty embarrassing question, but anybody got a rec for a good vape liquid site? I've just been going to shops, and I'd just as soon cut out that interaction.

Haha, I didn’t say that I was the one with the AARP card.

Was that an insult?

  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?

this the kinda shit that made me get rid of it in the first place

This stuff is getting scary. China's social credit system is going to be like a science fiction nightmare, and I'm pretty sure google has a large role in its development. I don't think it's conspiratorial to believe facebook, google, etc. are collecting much more data than they admit.

i hear “hey i haven’t seen you in a while” way too often in occurrences where it’s not possible ive ever met this person .. i think i must be super generic looking

"Is this art?" Has been in my thoughts lately..

I have the concept, the shapes and the colors. Mood too. But when does grains of sand become a heap?

Stoked to have a muse and motivation and a questioning mind. Now all I have to do is decide if it indeed is art.

why is Bob short for Robert? Why is Bill short for William? And how the fuck is Dick short for Richard?

[Bagelskate]

why is Bob short for Robert? Why is Bill short for William? And how the fuck is Dick short for Richard?

Idk about the first two but I’m guessing cuz some dude along the line named Richard was quite the dick.

[childhood]

Did this get discussed on here already?

what about the names richardson and dickson? did some people take their father’s formal name and some people take their father’s nickname? or were there dudes named “dick” but it wasn’t a nickname?

[childhood]

Didn't want to start a new thread for it, but this Philly skater-writer wrote an article on trends in skate shoes that's worth reading.

why ordering a sandwich from a deli i go to all of the time is usually cheaper than ordering in because they make up prices in front of me

  People who smoke weed pretty much daily and say that theyre "so high" when they smoke weed.  I dont get that. I smoke weed daily and weed dosent get me "high" just makes me want to skate or go cycling.

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.


anyways did anyone see that new gillette commercial? i agree with the message but why the fuck is a razor company trying to preach that message, or any message for that matter?

[Dorknerd]

It’s the tunnel focus symptom. I smoke everyday. If I start doing something straight away then I’ll be productive. If I don’t then won’t. That’s why I have a beer then skate to the spot/park. Set inertia in motion.

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 guess there are more dudes out there being misogynistic than i thought, and it does irk me when i hear/see that stuff irl and once have gotten into it with a friend spouting off some dumb shit that could be described as "toxic masculinity".

idk its weird, i dont discriminate anyone based on sex or race or whatever so when i see reminders to not do it its like yo im already not doing it so chill. but i may be in the minority.

and in all honesty ive been a bic razor guy since highschool, nice and cheap. shalom.

[FROTHY]

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. I just never fell for their 6-blade high tech razors to begin with. Shit is too tech - shoulda gone out of style with Osiris D3s and bleached goatees in my opinion.

[JB]

Did you guys get that gillette 5 blader in the mail as a "birthday present" when you were growing up? I did and fell into buying those expensive ass blades for years. All my friends got them too and many did the same thing.

[feedmeseymour]

5 blades is nuts, im lucky i dont have sensitive skin so i can get away with shaving with those 2 blade jams..

ive always wanted to get a shave from a barber but never pulled the trigger. also considered buying a straight razor and shaving like that, just dont know if its that good or not.
