Skateboards are ancient. Catch up.



actually, skateboards are more popular than they have ever been, at least around the college campus i work at

people of all social groups: nerds, whatsits, hot girls, jocks, hipsters, sex addicts... everybody who is 19 is skateboarding to get from A to B

i see multiple people every day who have clearly been on a skateboard like twice in their life, and they are just starting to learn, because it's super cool and everybody is doing it

no joke when i saw that movie as a kid i thought that "dickhead" was a role people actively tried to fill in high school.

then i got to high school and realized that's absolutely true.

Tonight I saw a 19-20 year old call the cops on a concert venue because him and his 21+ friend got kicked out because he got hammered there and the 21+ friend was buying him drinks all night.

HE CALLED THE COPS ON HIMSELF. An hour later my friends told me there was something going on in the parking lot involving cops and bros behind my bar (I'm the bartender). The same assholes were telling the cops that they'd call their dads lawyer and poo poo.

These retards have no idea about the real world and consequences.

if I'm out with a girl who's still in university or whatever then I'll pay for sure, but insisting to pay if i'm out with a girl who actually makes money because "I'm the man" is just weird and definitely a "m'lady" thing in this part of the world, but I know things are different in the US and I have no doubt that's how Claude Wayne himself seduced Natasha back in the day

Nah, it's kinda weird and unspoken. Like the Boomers and the WW2/Korea guys really don't interact at a lot of Veteran's organizations and when they do it's tense as gently caress, but there's a drat near instant bond they can get guys in their 40s-30s who were in. Maybe it's because we're the same age as their grandkids, maybe it's something else. But I've always noticed it

I can relate to my tech industry peers AND my tech industry co-workers whose children are my age AND also my friend who's in his 30s and isn't always a construction worker but does it when his writing gigs are thin :smuggo:

But then again when I say tech industry I mean embedded software, so if you're working for some web dev company I am truely sorry for your lots and I probably would've snapped by now in your position.

I was considering putting it in quotation marks—he was hired out of college and has only been working there for 3 or 4 years—because it's such a fluffed-up title, but he does basically what my boss does, which is design the system from above and tell people what parts of the system to do.

He has a good salary and a very low cost of living (Nowhere, Wisconsin), so I don't really have a leg to stand on other than saying all there is to do in Wisconsin is drink a lot of beer and accumulate blubber for the winter.

There's a kind of innocence about the lifestyle that strikes me. He can afford whatever new toy or gadget he wants, and he and his wife are perfectly content to eat pizza and beer regularly and not care too much about how they look. You can really see the progression toward the WALL-E world.

tell yourself that if it makes you feel better but I talk woodworking with some 90 year old WWII vets and they make it very clear that they're disappointed not with my generation or yours, but with every human being who doesn't work with their hands and who won't fist fight for what they believe in

this puts the average generation x person slightly below the average millennial kid growing his own weed in terms of the value of their life to the oldest toughest men on the planet

nah the m'lady types are MRAs and would expect a woman to pay since if she wants things equal she must pay.

check your privilege next time and realize men have it easier than women and the scale should be balanced at some points.

I still don't get why im supposed to care about some decrepit fucks opinion about me. WWII vets is an increasingly dead group of people so ya know im gonna go out on a limb here and say they're irrelevant to me the guy living his life instead of nearing the end of it.

you don't have to be racist to be xenophobic or hate "bad" poor people
