Things You Pondered Today

[givecigstosurfgroms]

  I remember in a D Way thread someone was explaining southern Cal culture and how skating and surfing are the 'normal' and being an outcast as a skater wasn't a thing for them like it was for the rest of the continent.  Anyway I think that's why all that so cal pop punk that started the whole pop punk wave that was such a pile of garbage existed in the first place.  Its a bubble in socal it seems.

how does IG verification work? I noticed the Nine Club is verified but Krooked is not. the other day I also saw a bar with about 2,000 followers that is verified. it seems very arbitrary and political.

yeah i dont really understand that, i think anyone can apply for it but insta decides if you get the blue check or not, im not real sure about it either

I don’t pay to attention to sports but I was listening to bill burr today and he was talking about Alex Bregman hitting and home run & holding his bat all the way to 1st base . 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 .

Kool to have a punk crust band named Crunk Pust and play at punk crust festivals if those are a thing.     "Yo, we're Crunk Pust."

I was thinking about how "skate pairs" were a thing when I started skating. This was a Meza Skateboarder article if I recall. Like Heath and Klein, Dill and AVE, Wenning and Pappalardo. Two pros who always skated together.

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.

I got offered an insane amount of money for this.

via Imgflip Meme Generator

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

sean and sage, max palmer and cyrus, tom knox and nick jensen, mike arnold and casper brooker, there are a couple more, those are just trendy examples. i think marketing is really focused on depicting "crews" and/or sending one electric guy everybody likes on a lot of tours (ex. all the bald guys on nike and converse - paul grund, nik stain, bobby d, hjalte - always on random tours together. for the second example there's hjalte again, he's everywhere). skate clips are like friendship simulators more than ever

Those are all good examples I didn't think of, and you're right about the crews. All the crews contribute to the glut of content now, in addition to the companies.

I was wondering whether it's nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? One of those days.

[WastedHippy]

I go back and forth in preferring seasons, sometimes summer gets way too hot and I hate just feeling hot and working up a sweat over doing nothing, but on the other hand it sucks when its too cold to enjoy whatever your doing outdoors.

As much as the jacket screams “not for sale” I’d take the mini.

It is not too weird selling it but buying it for a lot of money sure goes against it.
But whatever...

[WastedHippy]

The selling point to me is that John Travolta touched it

I want to buy land. Anyone who contributes to the collective can live there.

I did it with an apartment for nearly a decade. Lots of good times and bad times.

Gentrification killed that.

How can gentrification kill it if you own the apartment?

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.

the international space station does one complete revolution around the earth in 90 minutes .. that’s four miles per second .. it blows my mind that astronauts do space walks outside of it yet they don’t experience acceleration

what is an insane price to you? no offense but that looks like the most uncomfortable piece of clothing ever.

haha this is a good question, I'd be curious to know if anyone actually just made an on the spot purchase due to a banner because it seems unlikely

I wanna try that cinnamon Coke that Twitter ads have been pushing on me.

Spent a bunch of time just looking at SkimTheFat archived pages this weekend, that site was way ahead of its time.

It's because they aren't accelerating any more.

ya i don’t quite understand it .. they’re “moving” 4 miles per second somehow .. im dumb so i don’t think it’ll ever register

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 just made spam with hash browns and put a slice of cheese on top for dinner. Being broke is fun. What’s the strangest concoction y’all have come up with when money is tight but need to eat?


It’s not that gross but it’s not great.
