Things You Pondered Today

[Banned from the room]

Crob just bombed Chad door dashers. Who don't dress up for work.

I wonder what happened to him? He seems like he's the type offended by exposed feet.

Oh my gosh that guy as slides with no sox!! I'm gonna break a vein in my forehead! I gotta go

[rusty knees]

my -10 rep here pretty much aligns with my personality,
opinionated just enough to piss a few people off slightly

[JM]

Why the hell are frontside 5-0’s so damn hard now? They were a warmup go-to, and now they’re the hardest fucking trick in the world.

[Haze]

when you’re doing keto and bust in your girl, you technically gave her a sugar-free cream pie. And before anyone comes on here to say “oh but you know all cum has trace amounts of sugar in it” No - not if you’re doing your keto right.

Today, I briefly considered what sort of mythic creature I am: Of course, I’m Hell’s gatekeeper…The mighty hound of Hades, Cerberus, but I also have a little Skate-Satyr / Horny-Centaur energy y'know? I don’t know whether I wanna slay a Gorgon, or try to get some Gorgon pussy. I don’t know if I wanna Shoot arrows at medusas head or some shoot some fuckin’ loads…But, I’ll tell you what I’m not is a fuckin chimera. Chimeras are fucking garbage.

Idk if this is the right thread, but it seems somewhat fitting. Today I went to the local art museum because it was free and something to do when I’m injured. I spent about 2.5 hours browsing through most of the exhibits. It was cool, it’s a good museum. but i’m not sure I fully absorbed any of the exhibits.

It got me thinking, what’s a good strategy for big museums? Seems like the best way to do it spending a lot of time in only a couple exhibits the best way to understand what they have to offer? Any other tips for museums?

This popped into my head after reading the BHADWP2 thread where people are complaining about Stu’s hardcore band shirts or whatever.
What compels people to be so up their own ass about whether or not someone is a “legit fan” of the band t shirt they’re wearing? Why does it truly matter to You in the grand scheme of life? Does calling them a “phony” stroke your ego and make you feel high and mighty?

I’ll admit, at one point in my life (teenage years) I truly gave a fuck about someone wearing something skate related without skating. But, if you’re in your mid-to-late 20s and older and you STILL care about that shit, you need to check yourself.

I try to have as few expectations as possible about how much or what I'm gonna see. Maybe I have one piece in mind that I'm interested in, that's it. The less I care about anything in particular, the more I'm able to enjoy the experience. I like having the mindset that I could go in and come right back out or stay for hours, and it wouldn't make any difference, either could be could.  It isn't always possible, but sneaking in might be the best, because then the art becomes secondary and it can more easily surprise you. In practical terms, if there's a marked route, I don't follow it, and if there are crowded areas, I avoid them (I'm aware this sounds contrarian and silly, but oh well). I also like to sit down for awhile. Great post, now I want to visit a museum.

A person who owns, or operates a hotel is a hotelier.
Does it thereby follow that, as an owner & operator of deez nuts, I am a scrotelier?

Here's what works for me.
Multiple visits is really good. On the first visit to an exhibit I can see what's there, get an idea of the layout and content. Then when I return to that exhibit I already have a framework for what's there, so my mind isn't busy building a map and a catalog, and I can just look at things.

I haven't properly tried it with a new date but museums also seem like a really good spot for a first date.

Pretty sure that I’m years late on this, but is Steve Berra just evil Zach Braff?

Do you think you should edit yourself when you like reluctant interview or should you just be brutality honest and hope for the best?

[Pasta Monster]

The prosecution of Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein will probably be considered anti-Semitic in the near future.

[addie pray]

idk bout that 1 chief

[JM]

I wish I could redo life.

I like Mike Arnold very much. He might be my favorite modern style as that's is exactly what I wanted my peak aged vocabulary to translate like.

So yeah at this moment he's like right above everyone but Funk Troy and Kader on my style tree.

Where is Funk? Have I missed anything recent? The whole world has bit his style. Now they're flipping into the flat gap truck bash. Not quite as fast but I seen a few close.

If I was to give advice is don't flip in to those Mr funk. Keep it style keep it fast. Do it fakie backside.
That's what I wanna see fuckin big time.

I've read this sentence like 6 times in a row and I'm struggling to understand.
Do you mean should you edit yourself if you're in a job interview?
If so, fuck yeah. Lie your ass off. Say whatever they want to hear. Get that money.
If it's an interview at a company you're really stoked on and you're hoping to stay there for a long time, maybe don't outright lie but also don't shy away from sugarcoating the truth. Sugarcoat the fuck outta that truth.

Which skateboarder looks most like John Stamos?

Well shit… my hiccups are cured!

Thanks.

How hard is it to move to another country?

[Banned from the room]

Y'all see that new Powell kid. He just popped up on all the channels. No gimmick. No frills. Straight up skating. Seems like a pro waiting to grow up so far.

I can't wait to see what's next.

&& Looking stronger in 2024 too. If that was filmed this year. Lol. Hope so. Seems they run videos from a footage collection.

Zack too. I'd kill for those switch powers.

Is anything capable of being funny without being at someone's or something's expense?

[Haze]

I want to get into rock climbing. I also want to own an Edward Scissorhands mansion with a huge library/study, where I can keep all of my Bats and Ravens, where I can create in peace, far from this wretched society.

[Banned from the room]

People keep bringing up some stuff you inject into your stomach. They say it heals all things and makes you skate like king fuckin Kong. For 300 a month. Has something to do with hormones in your body.

Wtf are these fools trying to do to me?

[ChuckRamone]

If you skate an obstacle connected to a skatepark that was not made for skating, like a set of stairs or a rail leading into the park, does that count as street?

[Haze]

“Barísta” is a funny job title

“I’m a Bah-Reese-Tah! I make art at staaarbucks…I’m a Bah-Reese-Tah!”

STFU!

And that stupid fucking venti shmenti crap…

large black coffee no cream no sugar thank you.

One word: Bodega!

[LeDave]

Thunder Sonora 147's..... Still pondering.

[Blind Fisherman]

Would it truly matter if I were wiped off the face of the earth? I'm nothing and no one to anyone. I find comfort in my own demise. Why can't I just "check out" if I don't want to be here anymore?

[LeDave]

I can’t change. I can only change when I’m alone. The people I know will always be the people I know. I can’t change when I know what I know.

[JM]

What the hell am I supposed to do with all these extra truck washers?
