Things You Pondered Today

Why do people want to see my new apartment? It's a 1 bedroom. That means all that same shit you've previously seen is just now in a different space. Why are you trying to invite yourself over?

Nothing at all against someone being hyped to show a new place to friends but it's just strange when it's reversed

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.

Is the DVD version of Klein and Kirchart's part from the End online anywhere? I'm curious what it's like with the Tom Petty song instead of Under Pressure.

Who was the original Mr. Wilson?

In a few years, will summers be my enemy? Will it be to hot to even think about going skating? Will I sitt inside the whole day and wait till it's evening.. Getting old sucks already. But getting old and skate on a hot afternoon is a thing from the past i guess.

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

Does porn make anyone else cry? Asking for a friend.

[botefdunn]

When my best friend's dad went bankrupt and comitted suicide, her family fell apart and she wound up getting into hard drugs and through that, doing porn. She was 18, on lotsa drugs, and had no one looking out for her. She used to call me fucked up, not even knowing where she was sometimes, saying her life had turned into a nightmare. It made me feel sick to my stomach, there was nothing I could do to help her, and yeah, occasionally it made me cry. Telling you for a friend.

Why doesn't the Plan B Second Hand Smoke DVD cover mention Jeremy Wray?

[TastyBurrito]

Why we call it an orgy when we can call it a clusterfuck.

Quiet quitting is like kegal exercises, you can be doing it right now and no one in your office would be none the wiser.

[Mean salto]

If you break or lose a tv remote a replacement is gonna cost like $50 or maybe you can find a universal remote for $35 but you can get a shitty smartphone for that price. 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.
TVs should come with a shitty smartphone as a remote they could even be done cheaply because they don't actually need the phone or camera

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.

[fineslime]

been thinking a lot about the electromagnetic properties of the universe, and how we as humans are energetic and magnetic beings. this concept of "you get what you put in," or, "karma," if you wanna call it that, is a very real thing. although I've always tried to live my best with this in mind, when I connected the two concepts it changed my world and how I interact with myself, my thoughts, and my beliefs. LIFE - I WONDER - WILL IT TAKE ME UNDER?

Just finishing an academic article on nostalgia and can tell you you’re perfectly right. Nostalgia as a widespread phenomenon first became a thing with 1950s sitcoms being played in endless reruns in the 1970s. Availability drives nostalgia.

[Gary Gloverberg]

How did Jeremy Davies figure he could make a career out of talking low? Every role. Hats off, not even talking shit

[ChuckRamone]

Are the Most Vertical Primate movies any good? Would they be considered exploitation of chimps?

[wo_bauer]

I'm wondering if the aughts were in fact better than today. Sure diversity didn't exist then, and people were as foolish as ever, but affording food, being housed, and having mental health healthcare are suddenly luxuries in 2023. Where did it all go wrong

[DarthDingusMaximus]

Whatever happened to Erik Bush after this video, does he still skate? I know Slap has a lot of people all over to talk shit.

What do you guys think?

[EXTRA SPICY]

Jamie Foy is 27
His dad just turned 80.
Meaning Foy senior was 71 when Jamie graduated high school.

Today I pondered, is Jamie Foy the Theo Von of skateboarding?

You know what I pondered today? Not a guitar player so I’m curious if Tom morello is like an Andy Anderson of guitar playing

Which is worse? People who quit skating because it's too hard, or people who can skate but quit once they find out they won't be going pro or getting rich/famous from it.

The second.
Skating is supposed to be fun so quitting because it's too hard seems pretty reasonable.

[ChuckRamone]

why does hockey release dvds of their videos but not fucking awesome?

[matt_2993]

Where does the first fruit fly fucking come from

[dublak2]

Should I continue attempts to save my marriage for the sake of my child, or should I stand by and watch it decay into resentment since she won't meet me halfway.

But I pondered this yesterday too. and the day before that. and the day before that. etc.

[ChuckRamone]

Why do we have to sort of chew foods like yogurt which are already really soft? My guess was to mix in some saliva to predigest it and make it easier to swallow.

Too hard.

It's ok to have dreams about being the ledge god of the year 2000 even though you're just a violent drug addict queer who can flip into shit.

It's ok to realize you can't afford 4 or 5 seven point fives a month because you only get one from the local with no team

Theres dozens of easier manipulated wiz kids running around slaying granite switch who won't make your brand smell like Italian subs and a old bus port from rotten denim and rusted studs.

It's better to be a bike messenger anyway. You don't gotta sell anything but drugs and fake drugs

Smack a taxi or two with a kryptonite Lock and you forget about who black balled you at the b&b

[Banned from the room]

I was looking at this. Would be cool to see a Yant style rollin blunt smash vert nose press thing.
Maybe someone do like kickflip in nose mash a dump truck.
