Rant About Whatever

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.

ReturnToMonkeyGood for you man. Restaurants are stressful especially with shitty customers/owners and it sounds like you've had all your fucks wrung out. I enjoy cooking a lot but I really want to get out of the industry as soon as possible. The tips and free food are nice but it's definitely not worth losing yourself over. Cooking dank food is sweet, but there's a lot cooler things to do out there.


Honestly it can be so fun, but the management gig has replaced fun, flexibility and easy hours with stress, anxiety, and 12+ hour days. Not to mention less money than the servers and bartenders.

torn between wanting to capitalize on my management experience and transitioning to another industry or just bartending 3-4 nights a week again and getting back on my fitness & skiing grind.

anything is possible! And that’s the exciting part!

I used to actually like electronic music. People change but I think I resent it more because if the people that listen to it. Nobody ever listends to it at a normal volume. A lot of people will just listen to it from early morning till whenever they go to bed full volume. Idk, i don't really like loud things. Brain injuries def impacted that too. Even my favorite songs played full volume all day id be like "yo can we just chill for a min"?

Idk there are bigger problems but that shit just gives me anxiety. I'd rather listen to an obnoxiously loud ticking clock than deal with that.

I don't mind things getting loud, but I also like som chill vibes too. A little bit of queit occasionally doesnt scare me.

This is the style of plates I got, combined with an old jacked up truck fits in pretty well anywhere in nevada


Nevada has a lot of really cool plates (and some fugly ones too). It's cool to support the different organizations in the state just by registering a car. I got a free lift ticket to any resort around the lake at a KTB sticker when I got my Tahoe plate. The annual registration fee supports the Tahoe Fund.

I don't think uhhhhhhhhhh taking on a 9 credit course along with another 3 credit course was a good idea.....That's a full semseters worth of learning split between 2 classes on top of working 3-5 days/week and commuting to school.

Had kids like this in HS history classes both on that side of the fence and the opposite, plus one kid who was a self-proclaimed atheist and challenged everything everyone said....Made for entertaining classes each day to say the least. Kids like that will eventually wake up and realize that the world isn't exactly what their parent's opinions and views made it out to be.

I remember some homeschool kids having their mind blown by the idea of nuance in philosophy. The concept that others views are just as valid real to them as their own blew them away and maybe both views are okay.

Trump sucks, Biden sucks. Why can't people just accept that some presidents are terrible and try to improve their own lives instead of shitting on other people about something mostly unrelated? Also, being president seems really difficult, especially in this day and age with so much social media influence on the population. Every little wrong doing has a lot more backlash than right doings have satisfaction.

Most engineers are too stupid for engineering. You'll be fine. You can fail a surprising amount of exams and still pass. That's uh, what a friend told me at least.

Ya bro I’m not even failing everything so I guess it could be worse, it’s just that I need to maintain a B average to keep my scholarship and that’s proving to be difficult

WoFlowzWhere the fuck is my melatonin. My anxiety is off the rails rn and I need some way to chill out and fall asleep


Def not recommended but on the same note a friend gave me a couple xannax while I was in tahoe. I don't touch them but at least one point in the winter my anxiety gets crazy bad and i meed to put myself down so i dont freak out.

Anxiety sucks. Even when it's casual if it fucks up your sleeping and ability to do normal things.

Random job but sometimes I would put o n.v a more mellow plannet earth to calm down and fall asleep. David attenborough all like "the dolphins swin and the whales look for food and you should go to sleep dude"

Sometimes if I'm anxious and its silent i get lost in my head. I don't usually listen to anything to fall alseep but being able to occasionslly glance up made me less stressed about not being able to sleep and let me fall asleep easier.

Not really a rant but I friggin miss traveling. Facebook has been hitting me with the member berries hard. I get bad anxiety and freak out when I can't move around. I did some traveling within the USA but I miss meeting random people in random places and either saying hello or developing meaningful connections.

I don't really know where my life's trajectory is going. The one thing that's been extremely positive is me buying a guitar. I play the thing all the time everyday. I don't give a fuck if I ever get really good at it. It consistently makes me smile and takes my mind off of all the stresses.

I'm kind of a nomad though and really hope to be able to pull off a big trip next year. I need to get out and shake things up, make my self uncomfortable, and live again. I really miss it. Something about movement keeps my mind from dwelling on all the bad shit in my head.

FTR, I'm doing alright, this isn't anything weird. Just seeing a lot of old travel things on FB and missing it and the people I met. Not in a particularly bad spot. Broke af and trying to survive fir another month till I get my first check from work when I get back north but doing ok and seeing good friends.

Those memory reminders are cool but can bring up old things that dont need to be brought up, travel will happen soon so maybe plan or look into where you want to go next summer. Keep playing that axe, my playing helped keep me sane in some bad times of my life so I can relate to the power of plucking a string, just rock that shit! Old man winter is on his way and you will be busy making some of our dreams come true by building some kickass parks and features, take the time to sit back and play that song of life.

Try ditching gluten and see if it helps. My wife went through years off feeling like shit every time she ate, now she only feels like shit if she eats something that she doesn't realize has gluten in it.

Are you a celiac? If not it might not help much. Have you tried dairy free? Fewer acidic foods? If it's pancreatitis, you'll have to try a bunch of diets probably.

Forms and triggers of ibs can develop as we age, resulting in diarrhea, constipation, pain , bloat etc… other problems can develop if it goes untreated and there could be many other causes, fungal overgrowth, diverticulitis, crohns, epi, liver malfunction, bladder or kidney issues, gull stones or dislodged gull stones now stuck in the iliac,thyroid issues, hemorrhoids, hernias.

If you’ve had a comprehensive metabolic and hormone test as well as physical and at least an x ray it’s time to see a gastroenterologist.
