Things You Pondered Today

[Atiba Applebum]

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.

“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

Bongbong Marcos: Best name of a current world leader?

[Banned from the room]

I'm taking a few days off board.

I got everything going for my next ride. About to put it together tonight. But I gotta let my body heel.

My brain is getting worse with every head hit I receive.

It's impossible for me to quit skating tho. I'm going to roll till death
Also I want to live forever rn too

Gotta take care of this body

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...

the personal implications of how certain i am of the degree of genuine satisfaction, that i would derive from having an opportunity to actually put my hands on the cowardly fucking little piece of shit who almost hustled my aunt--who is in her seventies and worked nearly 40 years of her life--out of tens of thousands of dollars through one of those Zelle scams going on right now. the stress and anxiety of dealing with this almost put her in the hospital recently, and is as much a form of terrorism as anything else that designation is used to convey...

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.

You just destroyed my preconceived notion of the toga being a light breezy utilitarian garb that no one would have any real complaints about. What’s next, the Scots actually wear underwear under their kilts?

There were varieties that were way simpler and probably quite breezy.  I’m just talking about the fancy formal ones.  Look at all the shit that’s going on with them.  If he droops his left arm, that thing is turning into a puddle:

Skateboarding is really weird. Like the things we use to measure skill stairs, handrails, picnic tables, benches, garbage bins. Skating on or over a picnic table is kinda stupid when you think about it. Guess it doesn't matter.

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've never had them but I think you'd get everything required from one or two 10 second glares a day.

  We're (n America) seem to be heading straight toward WW3, and people have too many other (internet) things to concern themselves with to say anything about it.  People drew lines in the sand 4 or 5 years ago now to prevent them from saying anything about what's presently happening.

What if rollerblading is cool? I mean honestly I doubt it, I've always been mostly neutral towards it they're just people with a hobby like skateboarders just their hobby is dorkier BUT I watched a couple snowboard videos recently and I'm guessing because of that was recommended skiing videos thought fuck it and watched one and I think skiing is better looking than snowboarding. 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...

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.

   I hate being cold so I'm afraid it will be massively uncool.    It seems obvious from his apparent state that Biden does not make any decisions but perhaps this assertion will get me labeled as 'c--------y theorist'.

I think in the future they will look back at now and be puzzled why so many leaders were so fukn old. They will think it's a novelty like the Roman feasts where they are until they vomitted then kept eating. Just like lol wtf were they doing back then fukn idiots. (Or however they talk in the future)

     Perhaps fair in some cases for sure but the same could be said about some younger people.  Not assuming you're on about Biden, but I'd say it's pretty naive  to believe he's 'in charge' or makes decisions.

hi guys, i'm trying to find a video. i forget if it's jordan something or other but someone skates to chief keef "war" in a bronze video but i can't figure out which one. anyone remember that?

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
