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.

I fucking hate parents that bring their kids to a brewery and let’s them run around screaming and be wild unchecked. Then when the kid eats shit and trips on something they scream and cry inside the brewery because the parent wasn’t watching the kid since the parent was too busy drinking and socializing. Then the parent tries to calm the kid down inside said brewery because they are too lazy to walk away from The bar and their beer to clam
the kid down. Thus making everyone around they suffer the wrath of their screaming and crying child who is hurt because said parent was too lazy and preoccupied drinking to protect/ parent said child.

Is this like a brewery with a tasting room or a restaurant with a brewery attached? I feel like most of the proper brewery spots here are all 19+ whereas the brewpubs are pretty family friendly with menus that are very appealing to children? Also would be cool if parents occasionally supervised kids, there are certain times to give them space to learn and run around and be crazy, restaurants are not one of those times.

This is a small brewery in the keys of Florida. They don’t serve food at all. No restaurant etc. they do allow kids with their parents because again this is the keys so family’s do travel together so they’re accommodating to parents with kids. There is zero kids menus or things for kids. Also this was 9:45 that they arrived with their little kids. One little girl walking around in a diaper and one little boy maybe 9-10yo at most.

GayWolf420Genuine question how has WoFlowz parents not stepped in at this point? Seems like you come from a decent financially stable household and you're just absolutely blowing it by partying and whining about how hard your program is online. Some of us would've killed for that opportunity in college instead of working shit jobs the rest of our lives. Get a grip dude. You're sitting on a golden ticket.

you’ll be happy to hear i’m paying a portion of my tuition every semester until my gpa is above a 3.0 after failing Pre Calc! So i’ve been working as a ski coach and door dashing since friday to earn more money to contribute than just what’s in my savings. Here’s a pick of my morning commute as the sun rose friday morning.

Multiple choice test are not good for a lazy person like me. I calculated few prolems so I will pass and just guessed the rest. How to pass derivative course in Jalmar's style. Maybe skiing will bring my studying motivation back before integral starts.

This is how I got my initial history teaching credential back in the day. 150 question test, 70% or better to get licensed (90% if you didn’t feel like answering the essay questions). I knew 90% of the American history questions and the world history stuff was surface level that anyone with an hour of Wikipedia browsing for a week or could have answered so I just flipped through and finished bubbling in the answers I needed in 20 minutes. Essay question ended up being about a battle that occurred in my hometown which gave an even bigger cushion for failure.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TI once did this for an entire final. 3 hour exam turned in after 10 minutes.

I didn't have the balls to guess everything.

I'm shooting my self in the foot with this. I don't need to study that much so I will not learn everything. GPA doesn't matter at all as long as I'm passing most of the courses. The problem is that I need to know everything from high school math in a single exam. It would be easier to study for it if I would learn everything properly now. I need the best grade from math final exam. My future plans took a turn from studies that are easy to get into. Thank god we have studying vacation before the exam but it's still going to be challenge. It's a grear sign that I'm stressing over a year before the exam... I hope I'm not feeling lazy then.

I only got away with it because it was a summer transfer credit. As long my overall grade was a C or better it transferred raw credit without the grade. D/F meant no credit which was mathematically impossible.

Yup that’s my process too.

I think it leads me to question myself and not try as hard of tricks on the hill. I should be trying more stuff more often because landing something hard is probably the best thing you can do for your confidence lol

I know I've bitched about this before but bad drummers. First I'm formerly a drummer, idk why everyone without rhythm loves to get drunk and play drums badly. Also if you're playing and ask the person to chill they should fuck off. Next time I'll be more of a dick about it.

Not even the same guy that plays that wouldn't get off the drums on my birthday last year.

I know people like to play but if someone asks you not to should respect it even if you're good. Honestly the good people will, sucks the shitty drunks can't take a hint.

Open mic so not a show but still. Had a ton of friemds come out thay wanted to hear me play my songs. Still went well but it get wayyyyy fucking harder to play when you're either trying to adapt or play against whatever the fuck some shitty drummer is trying to play. I keep time, I play acoustic singer songwriter stuff. I don't need a drummer, and def not a shitty one ever.

Still played a great set and homies were stoked, just makes it 3 times as difficult. Feels like baby sitting while you're working or something.

Still nice to have a night off with friends. Even though i haven't slept since grave shift last night

I don’t mind kids at breweries if the parents can control them. There should also be a curfew. Most Down here don’t allow kids after 7-8pm but not all, which is fucked.

I fucking hate codependent couples who don't spend any time apart from each other.
My roommate (who's been one of my best friends since high school) started dating an ex mormon girl a few month ago, and within 3 weeks they were attached at the hip and spent 6+ nights a week together. Ever since then, he's been flakey as fuck, shows up late to the few social things he goes to, always brings his girlfriend and just whispers to her the entire time. She doesn't ski (fucking mormons) so I doubt he'll spend more than 20 days on the mountain this year, despite having an Alta and Ikon pass, since they can't bare to be apart for a whole day.
We're going on a Japan ski trip in 2 months (been in the works for a year) and he's entirely useless at planning, saying he'll "be free this weekend to figure it out" then not leaving his gf's side for 48 hours straight every fucking weekend. I've just started making plans myself and booking things. I've booked everything for us except for one hotel, which he insists he'll handle, but it's been 28 days since we decided on a few options and he still hasn't booked any of them. His excuse is always something about work, or travel, or whatever, but he really just refuses to put any effort into anything but his girlfriend.
This is an exact repeat of his previous (also ex mormon) girlfriend who dumped him 4 times, but he couldn't live without her and took her back every time she had 2nd thoughts about the breakup.
I really can't stand being around couples like that and if it lasts a few more months, I'll probably ask him to move out and move in with her instead.

Financial advisors my god. Understand my background was a minor in Economics and I would call my first wise economic decision to NOT MAJOR IN ECON go make that oil $$ instead because in Econ unless you are the .05% (probably have to be a kiss ass at an Ivy) you will only handle others money while having no experience having money on your own and now I’m being hit up by these young pipsqueaks who dead ass can see my portfolio up 200% on the year but they think now that they are 4 years out of college and got promoted from call center to financial advisor that they’re qualified to handle my money and take a cut. Feels like tipping, I’m supposed to pay you for making my life more inconvenient?

guy asks me what my idea of success is. “Is it a big house? Fancy car? Beautiful wife (idk if he said this part but with how gauche he was being he might as well have) but it’s like guy I have all that success is not being suckered into paying someone 1% of my net worth to handle money the rest of my life my parents had a financial advisor great careers and fairly low cost of living yet barely retired by 67 and it still feels like sometimes they need to borrow money from me

sorry idk if rant flex or claim whatever it’s just hella annoying. Really feel like financial advisors whole job is to sow doubt in your personal financial and it’s hard for me to not take personally from these little shits

All parents have a favorite child, some of them either choose to not say anything or wait until their children are fully grown, and some of them are emotionally abusive and tell kids before they're fully fledged adults.
