Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

DeebieSkeebiesthat's the case for like everyone that came out here this year, lol. soo many miserable, pissed off jerries that came through the lifts i worked at this winter. I totally get it, though. you don't want to drop hard earned dollars to ski boilerplate, shitty snow in the middle of march when its normally awesome and cold.



Locals here just piss me off most of the time, idk why. every chairlift ride is "bitch bitch bitch, moan moan moan" with locals. Its like yeah, i get it, it sucks, but work with what you got and have some fucking fun. Ive skied countless bulletproof days skiing chutes,cliffs, whatever it may be and those were some of my most fun days on skis i have ever had. Idk why people cant just fucking nut up and work with the hands their dealt, you know?


I have the best days on shitty snow. It forces you to think differently and it is so much fun! I always hit stuff I normally would breeze past on a normal day and it is awesome.

theabortionatorBeen waiting on getting my car fixed. Finally got it back today. Make it home, not even 50 miles and it's fucked again.

Had no plans of staying in colorado for the summer. Don't want to. Don't know how the fuck I'm going to get anywhere. Debating leaving it where it is or lighting it on fire and spending the last of my money trying to go some wheres cool and shake this depression.

Just cannot get ahead. Have tickets to see music with friend the next 4 nights in denver but that's probably a no go. Have to move out of my place where I've been living in the morning and I don't even think my cars going to make it a mile down the road. Maybe 5 tops.

Really don't know if I'm going to be able to pull this one off.


I just want shit to make sense. I want to work somewhere for a change where things go well. This was my worst season I've ever had, even counting ones with season enders. I legit only had 3 days where I had fun at Beaver Creek the whole season. Found out I broke my wrist mid season raking the sides of our HORRIBLY setup features. Now I have to figure out what's wrong, what do do, if workers comp will cover it since everything was working in that shithole park, etc.

Also found out today that people have been putting skimmers in credit card machines even gas pumps in the area, somebody stole my shit and have to make sure the bank doesn't charge me for what some scumbag in aura spent. Canceled my card.

Basically, was barely going most of the season. The thought of being able to do some hiking this time of year, leave, do a nice road trip and get the fuck out of here was really all that was keeping me going.

Now my head is just spinning, and I want it all to stop. Fucking over it. Going to try to pull something off and keep things going but I just don't know this time. Might be time to pull the plug.


Sucks that you're getting dealt lemons. You sound like a pretty awesome dude. Hope things start to come up bruh.

BenWhitI mean, I had an unreal time. I skied terrain I have never dreamt of skiing before. after 10AM conditions were so springy and park skiing was super fun. Hot laps all day. But I had the vision in my head that I would be tits deep in snow smiling ear to ear. We had a great time, I just wish the weather had stayed that way and ruined every one else's winter hahaha... like if it's going to be warm and slushy, stay warm and slushy. don't rub it in my face.


if it makes you feel any better, ive been stuck doing HW all week while its been nuking so no pow laps for me :(

Chris Christie is a fucking dope, How people support that lard-filled asshole is just baffling to me. Saying he would "shut down" every medical and recreation weed law in the states is just silly. He's fine with denying patients medicine, but he'll never ever ever dare to go after fast food or obesity. Fuck him, I hope he chokes on his own fat in his sleep, jabba the hut looking fucker.

This isn't going to mean much to most people but the Journal of Pharmaceutical Science is really pissing me off right now. How do they not understand the concept of white backgrounds? That grey textured thing just makes an already complicated paper even harder to read.

Even if somebody doesn't like pot or recreational drugs, how could they like that fat fuck? The states voted in these measures and a presidential candidate is claiming he is going to fight back... But, the people voted for it! That is anti-American to attempt to overturn a measure that the voters decided on. He doesn't stand a chance in hell to make it

There was this cunt in CT I think. Senator or something 10 years ago maybe that went on this whole rant about how she survived cancer without using marijuana and therefore nobody else really needed it or should have access to it.

I wish i knew her name so I could go shit on her doorstep. Misguided cunt barely scratches the surface on that one.

I can't believe anyone could be such a fucking bitch. That's the same as saying "I survived this surgery without taking any pharmies for pain" so nobody should be allowed to". Actually far worse but same concept.

In her tiny little brain she was this amazing person but in reality just another dumb cunt.


In of the biggest problems in this country of ours is peoples in ability to change. Stupid laws will stay in place because "that's the way it's always been" rather than making any sense.

Dry counties, not being able to buy beer on sundays, stuff like that. What the fuck difference does it make. The only reason those laws still exist is because people don't like change.

In addition to that americans seem pretty horridly incompetent when it comes to voting. We encourage evry stupid piece of shit to get out and vote, yet we never push them to learn about the candidates. You get a fucking sticker that says "I voted" as if you did something good by voting. IF you didn't spend any time researching the candidates and simply went out and voted you're a stupid fucking cunt and should get an appropriate sticker.

That said, this is america and things will be slow to change if they ever do.

We're still 10+ years at the very least from marijuana being fully legalized. That really goes to show how useless people are.

I do not think they encourage people doing research because after a while they will realize the politicians are mainly fighting for corporations and rarely the people.

Where the fuck does parenting go wrong when your child hits the cashier at a grocery store demanding to have the candy you bought him.

This has happened to me the last 3 shifts ive worked. If i did that my parents would have slapped me or gave me some punishment but these parents do absolutely nothing about it.



Shit irks me man

Hit me once, shame on me, hit me twice, you're fucking kid is going in a blender.

But really though, that's fucked. And yes I agree. Every kid is special and parents don't do shit for discipline. My johnny can do whatever he wants, in the restaurant, on the bus, in the terrain park, wherever because my johnny is so fucking special.

It'll all work out in the end. I'm alive, I'm not as poor as I used to be, I have some great friends, and a bunch of other things.

I just get really depressed sometimes, and then when you tack on a wave of other problems, it just hits me like a brick sometimes and is overwhelming.

I was pretty happy that after this last wave I changed my thinking the next day and within another day was starting to feel at peace with things. Still anxious and overwhelmed to an extent but much more able to cope.

I just need to find better means of working through things from the start. This last head injury def didn't help anything. I seem to be more depressed and more prone to dive full into it when bad things happen.

I've really gotten to experience some cool places, great people, awesome music, and a lot of time on my skis and my board. I really don't have things that bad. I think if I can scrape together some loot and get a better car that's reliable, that will help things. Also hopefully have a better winter season next year.

Hopefully this summer I'll get a chance to start my rail project, and maybe do some long hikes and try to center myself out a bit.

Then maybe I won't post fucked up shit anymore lol. IT wasn't even to be over dramatic, I was in a scary place. I just need to figure my shit out, make a plan, and hope for the best.

YOLO

for how bad and addicting sugar is for people it is crazy how much people give it to their kids. I mean ice cream once a week is not problem. The amount of sugar in cereal for example is scary. If you ever wonder why so many kids are fatfucks I blame cereal and the candy right at the register like it should be normal to eat that much sugar everyday. Don't get me wrong, I had my daily Hershey Almonds as a tike - I was also fat back then.

go away


Skinny people hate on fat people and vice versa. Fat and skinny people also take it personal when people in shape (insecurity). Fat people also developed this odd vision that because somebody has muscles they must be dumb. Yet that is false as well.

Just stop it all together and worry about your damn self

I do man calm down.

Just looking at some skeletons abs and rib cage is just as gross as looking at a fat asses moobs.

If you are extremely skinny you will look bad with a shirt off just like a fat person would. Thats all. I don't know what context the poster I replied to got comments about his weight from....but if its the summer and he wants to walk around gun show 24/7 he should know that it will look bad just like an overweight person doing the same would.

Would you make the same argument about fat people that they can't control their weight and stay fat no matter what?


Whatever man theres no point to this argument based on your logic Id be an asshole for judging someone for having an ugly tattoo or being flat out ugly.

no. Fat people do not have the same excuse. The majority of them do not have a medical excuse (even though some claim it is their body type). But, I have known skinny people who eat way more than normal but stay skinny. People who can't lose weight are doing it wrong.


My point is stop judging people. Bad tattoos, ugly, buck teeth. Fuck it. No need to judge anybody. Worry about you

I was always very skinny. It took me till my mid 20s to get a little belly flab action. That was probably the absurd amounts of beer, and it still wasnt bad. Now that's kind of gone away again.

And I'm the person that will eat 4 or 5 meals when I can afford it. I remember superbowl sunday a few years ago I killed two xl pizzas and a dozen or so wings. Eating 10 hot dogs, maybe more even when I was young. Always been eating tons of food and was always skinny. Not like starvin marvin skinny but pretty damn skinny. No matter what I ate I just couldn't pack on the weight. Finally around 21 /22 I filled in and that's about where I am now.

What should I have done, get reverse liposuction? Like hey doctor, can you stick a few pounds of somebody elses fat inside me so some poster on the intrawebz will be able to get off if they see me walking around in the summer without my shirt on.


IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

I'm in the same boat, never have I been able to keep on weight. I eat a pretty regular amount of food but I'm still skinny as a rail. I'm pretty active though so my body never has time to even acuaccumulate fat it seems like.

However I really don't get why people are so quick to defend people for being fat. There really aren't that many people that just can't help it and honestly its just gross. It shows that you don't care about your body. Everyone should accept everyone, but at the end of the day its still gross when people have poor hygiene, whether its just smelling like shit from never showering or just being fat.

Another thing that kind of irks me about all this fat stuff is the women who like to sensationalize being fat and "owning" it. Obviously the unrealistic models these days aren't the greatest for girls' self esteem but that doesn't mean being fat is just something you should embrace. Being fat, by most people's standards is not attractive. Really its no ones fault, we all just instictually want a healthy mate, not some turd in the gene pool. Not everyone is beautiful, and I'm tired of people on the internet acting like just being super positive is gonna make things better.

TLDR: saying its okay to be unhealthy isn't helping anyone

Shit irks me man


Its not where their parenting went wrong, its just a lack of parenting, really. I'm talking purely out of my pasty white ass here, but whenever you see a kid acting up like that with no parent in sight, its just clear to me that the parent really isn't all too thrilled on having a kid, not that their are stressed and dont want to deal with their kid. They dont want to deal with their kids because they simply dont give a fuck about them, Its just another financial burden for them that they want society to deal with vs. themselves.


I think it only gets worse, though. Going to HS in a affluent ski town really opened my eyes to how shitty people can be to others. Soo many kids with drug/drinking problems, small rap sheets, mental/personality issues, etc. all because of a severe lack of parenting, I wanna say. A lot of the kids I knew personally had parents that made well over $100,000/year, traveled a ton for their jobs, and seemed a lot more invested in their careers and own self vs. their own families. I guess it was just easier for them to cut their kids a check every month as opposed to actually doing their parental duties. Its sad, though. The kids are pricks but there is a reason for it, you know? Id be an asshole too if my parents didn't give a flying fuck about me.

I just don't get why people can't mind their own business. And it just seems like whenever I'm on my way up, something shoots me back down again.

So me and my boyfriend of about three years broke up on this past Christmas eve. It was absolutely fucking terrible the circumstances of everything. We still cared for each other a lot but he fucked up big time and just couldn't deal with it and started in a huge downward spiral. We've been friends since then, we hang out every so often and its whatever but it's been rocky.

So I get texts chewing me out this morning about how I need to stop being such a fucking scummy person and whatever (I know that part is true but I don't think I've done anything too scummy lately) and I find out that some girl "Annabel" who claims to know me has been texting my ex like crazy trying to talk him into getting back together with me. This bitch has told him things that are most certainly not common knowledge. And I don't blame him for thinking its me but he knows I don't play mind games like that. It just sucks. I don't even know who thinks this kind of shit is funny especially when she's bringing up my past drug issues and using the fact that "you two should have a baby right now" as a reason to try to manipulate him into getting back together with me.

She better hope that I never find out who she is because she is going to get absolutely beaten the fuck down.

yeah, I was kinda thinking this. I agree with him all the way on kids food, though. its all loaded with horseshit and parents should feel ashamed for feeding their kids that crap, but there is a reason there is so much of it out in the markets and food stores and shit. The demand is so high because no one wants to make any attempts to eat better, meaning absolutely zero self control.




ahhh its just a cycle of shit no one wants to fix, it seems.

I agree with him all the way on kids food, though. its all loaded with horseshit and parents should feel ashamed for feeding their kids that crap, but there is a reason there is so much of it out in the markets and food stores and shit. The demand is so high because no one wants to make any attempts to eat better, meaning absolutely zero self control.




ahhh its just a cycle of shit no one wants to fix, it seems.



Exactly. I'm never going to have kids but if I do they're eating decent. I was fed garbage growing up. A lot of people are fed garbage. If people started buying decent food and not the garbage, you'd see a shift in what's available at stores.

It's just all about what is quick and easy. Hell I do this for myself now because I guess I don't really care about myself but if I had kids, jesus I'd want better for them.

stucciHow about learn some self control instead


How are kids supposed to learn to not be fat fucks when their parents do not even know? Or when products are labeled "diet" but they are actually horrible for you. How are people supposed to know that it is just marketing to fool you? Cereal is a staple for breakfast. Yet most of them are filled with sugar and corn syrup. Also, they have cartoons on the front to attract kids.

Or products are labeled "low sugar" but that is because they replaced the sugar with corn syrup. Shit will still make you a fat fuck. So much misinformation out there that whenever some people are trying they don't realize their self control isn't enough. They're being tricked into thinking they're being healthy.

Not everybody has the time and smarts to research every product they consume. Better off to eat all natural. But then again it is more expensive.

Past centuries it was the rich people who were fat because they could afford to over eat. Nowadays more poor people are fat because the quality of their food is shit.

Tl;dr not always about self control. Sometimes they think they are doing it right.

I havent been on Newschoolers regularly since late 2012. I migrated to reddit for forums and I thought reddit was 100x better and more mature, but god damn now im just sick of those guys over there. Circle jerking like theres no tomorrow, everyones an armchair expert, every thread is just a bunch of people trying to one up eachother in witty responses. The small subreddits are nice, but they have their own niche circle jerks. I've said it before in 2012 but seeing different communities made me realize just how awesome Newschoolers is/was. Every response on reddit is a mold of the hivemind since any outlier is downvoted and hidden. On newschoolers, you have refreshing, conflicting views in each thread.

I remember having some genuine fun on ns and even though we're immature you can tell most people on here are genuinely cool people that I'd hang out with in real life. Not sure if this is a rant but just some thoughts I was having

Idk man, it's 2015 not 95. There is so much information out there thats readily available about foods that are good and food that are bad. Hell even netflix has something like 3 or so documentaries on food, it's all over the intrawebs, it's not that hard to find.

I'm not saying that everything is in any way perfect, just that's it's out there if they cared a little bit about their kids health.

That said poverty def has a big impact, and the "middle class" is really pretty fucking poor these days even. At the same time, I feel like better foods are starting to get more accessible again.

Idk. I just think it would be sweet if more parents put some effort into their kids health even if it takes a little bit more effort.

yeah man for sure. Lot's of parents may even think they're doing the right thing. That is what sucks. Or they need to save money so they have no other choice. The same family that needs to save money by buying shitty food sometimes has iphones for all the kids and 54" TV. But, can't afford to make chicken breast and asaragus for dinner instead of pizza.

Just so much misinformation out there it sucks. Easiest way is to eat natural foods. Doesn't always need to be fancy or organic. Just as little processed food as possible.

Stop fucking ruining the ANZAC spirit by posting photos of you at Dawn service to facebook. If you wanted to pay respects to the men and woman who died for our country then do so. But don't try and get facebook likes by posting photos of you at Dawn Service. (This only applies to teenagers who give a fuck about likes)

Fuck prom. Maybe it's just me not being a partier in the slightest and that I can't stand to be around the majority of the people in my school. I don't get the tradition behind it, I think high school dances in general are stupid, and I sure as hell am not dropping hundreds on that. Prom is the most expensive way to surround yourself with a bunch of sweaty people dressed up in wastefully expensive clothes, then get wasted and have sex. I know some people with the mindset that they can only drink and smoke on special occasions. I've heard some terrible stories including one of a guy pressuring a girl into sex against her will, when she refused the guy made her drink until she gave in.

I don't know why people put themselves through prom when they could just go to a house party and do the same thing without wasting their money. It's a pointless ritual in my opinion.

This whole social media whoring thing is ridiculous. I was snowboarding recently and caught myself thinking "i better stop and get a pic for snapchat so people know Im boarding". I realized what I just thought, punched my own face for being a basic bitch, and carried on enjoying life instead of showcasing it for others

i mean..or you could go and dance, and have FUN then go to the school's after prom and have more fun, if you aren't about partying.

I for one can't seem to wrap my head around how people don't find dances fun. Prom was one of the high lights of my highschool. Shit was dooooooooope
