Yeah, it's pretty frustrating, as the price of it should be way less, but American rail is just soo bad so often that it makes people just not even consider it.
The whole system could be electrified with awesome stations and lockers in each station etc.

Which is ridiculous because the country was practically built by it.
The good thing is a lot of metro areas have some form of railed public transport, the problem is that it's usually intertwined with park-to-ride crap out in the suburbs because it came too late.
I'm pretty sure LA is the largest city on earth without any real properly decent metro system. It's metro there isn't widespread enough to even be useful in Richmond, VA, much less a metro area with a population of like 18.5 million

I need a female boss again I hate working underneath egotistical males who are usually losers and have just been in the industry a while.
My current role isn't worth going to the mat with my current boss over but this dude is fucking over the owner just as much as me and contributes nothing but somehow can bend things to make me look bad and win out.

What is up with people in the shittiest health conditions being some of the worst patients to deal with? Like honestly. Whatever path life took you down sucks and I have empathy but don't be a dick and refuse to sign AMAs, elope out of the hospital, and be bitchy with nurses/doctors/techs about your care plan and procedures like you have the education background in it.
Like its really hard to feel bad for some of these people when they get all pissed-off they have to have an IV placed but refuse a straight-stick needle for blood draws. Get over it. You're in a hospital. Maybe don't call 911 if you don't want to deal with it??????? One of the best pieces of advice ive received so far is "They're the ones who got hurt and called you, not the other way around."

ngl where I work has a sick cafeteria. They bring in local food spots to provide meals M-F for super cheap and I can always get a dank-as-fuck chikken quesadilla. I've been living on Ramen and hospital sandwiches since March.
IVs fucking suck though, I get it. But it's better than drilling one into your bone via IO. You don't want that shit dude. I've been like 3 for 5 in the last few days and it's pissing me off but peoples vasculatures are totally different. I worked bedside for a critical seizure patient yesterday and stuck that thing in first try like it was butter and I was stoked. I might be going insane tbh.

I also hate needles myself but I play ball. I've been stuck plenty of times in my life. I still get queezy seeing my blood get drawn. I do not miss the summer of 2019 one bit where I nearly cut my foot-off and they pumped me with a shitload of fent and other fun fluids.

Nurses didn’t let me eat or drink almost the entire time I was at the hospital so I had to sneak food. Also I feel like I would’ve been able to recover 10x faster without the stress/pain of having an iv and just being in a hospital in general

I get it. I hate telling people that I have to "Run it past my care team" for just having a pack of crackers, but apparently it doesnt mix well with meds and IV fluids. I get it though. Been there. One of the greatest meals I ever had though was post-discharge McDonalds. Shit changed my life being loaded on pain meds.

There's two kinds of people in this world. People who need tactile feedback when parking in a parking space, and those of average or above intelligence
Friggin skatepark pebbles. Tried to find a broom. Local skatepark is litered with pebbles and things. I spent time kicking them all off. Obviously csnt get em all but got all you could really see.
Got bodied by one. Had a nice skid and then over the bars. Alright but damn concrete fucking hurts. Otherwise good first day back on a board. I've skated maybe 3 times since last august so its been a while. And this was prolly the longest I've skated.
Gonna track down a broom and try and keep it clean. Idk why skateparks put small rock everywhere along side. The mtn bike ish kids or playground style kids knock them in real easy.
Park is pretty fun though. Felt good to role around. Not the best design and only 3 year old but already falling apart a bit. Angles are pretty good. Weird layout in part but it works.
Park is like a block or so from home so I'll def try and roll around this season.

Wanna hear something craaaazy?!
A "Table Spoon" is the same measurement as a regular dinner spoon.
You can literally open your kitchen drawer and just use a regular, normal ass spoon to measure a TBSP.
But WAIT, there's more!
To-Go containers from Deli's come in standard sizes of 8,12,16, 24, and 32 oz. Meaning you can literally just use old take away cups from your cupboard to measure ounces out.
BUT WAIT, THERES STILL MORE!
8 oz are in a cup, so you can also use those containers to measure 1 cup, 1 1/2 cups, 2 cups, 3 cups, and 4 cups respectively.

I hate when you can't tell if it's fluid ounces or weight ounces. Looking at you baking recipes
14540843:Young_patty said:
Wish it was that easy. There's no deli around me quite like that and even if there was all the measurements are in metric which is what I'm used to. I just need to get a plastic measuring cup and draw a bunch of conversions on it or something for when I have to deal with this in the future.
14540844:ReturnToMonkey said:
The only things that should be measured in ounces are weed and shots lol. In which case, the conversion is always like 1:30 and I can remember that easy (1 ounce is ~30g, and 1 shot is 30ML)

I'm pretty sure I'm getting the "I wouldn't tell him I'm not interested because I like the attention I get" treatment. I got pushed away because life got busy and told to 'wait' and now the agreed apon commitments in this murky situationship are only being upheld by me, once again being pushed away for anything else. I'm in my mid twenties and find myself playing high school games here and I'm done. Next conversation is my disengaging in this.
Also: this is why you don't date friends regardless of how you feel. Fricken sucks.

Dude I had one where I meet this girl skiing and we go make out in the woods for a bit, ask her when she's free next week, fucking radio silence and then some BS about how she's sorry she didn't get back to me. Like, just tell me one way or the other but don't fucking play with me like that.

So, I just bought Oreos for the first time in a WHILE.. and they definitely nerf'd the size of these things. What the fuck! Did I just get bigger or did Oreos get way smaller!
It's not even 3cm wide anymore and it definitely used to be like 4cm.

They were like 7$ at the costco reseller. overpriced as fuck, but I went for it because I hadn't had them in years.
then I find out that they've been hitting them with the shrink ray from 'honey I shrunk the kids'
I think its fine for people to do whatever but I think having like 10 different pride flags is kind of wack. Just more weird divisions. If you're not an asshole generally but also don't know what they all mean thats fine. There's been a bunch that came out the last 5 years. It's a little much
14540853:r00kie said:
Yeah in a sorta similar spot.
Things going about as perfect as they could. Then I'm, for all intents and purposes ghosted. I'll hear from them every 2 days or so. When I ask if it's over I don't get any sorta clear answer. Just "it's perfect but I need to go to therapy hehe I always do this, but we're not incompatible and I really want this relationship but also I'm going to do literally nothing for it and just kinda disappear"
Can't get a clear answer on whether or not it is a thing anymore. What always gets me is when people say one thing and then don't support that with any sorta action. How a person goes from saying this is the best thing ever to I'm not going to end this but I'm also going to act like I don't even care about any of this a day later I don't know. Hard to not think the worst things about the person but it is what it is I guess. I think I need to start dating people 10 years older than me lmao. My brain monkey brain tells me to go the eye for an eye route but I've matured enough at this point to know that doesn't getcha anywhere good.
But at least it's bike season!

That is pretty spot on to me. I've been pushed away too many times now and there's so little emotional trust left that I'm sure what I'm holding on to so I'm letting go. Luckily, I'm be out in a river canyon the next six days so that and the rest of world will be totally dead to me.

For sure. Logos are way better when streamlined and not chaotic.
Idk, I get wanting to inclued everyone but it gets a little overkill and looks kind of shitty in the end. Even state flags. Or company logos. The simple ones just look cleaner.

Women that do this “slow fade” race to the bottom head game shit are cowards. They do not have character or accountability and they will make your life miserable. your best bet is to call them on their shit and break up with them. If they are apologetic then let them come over and suck your dick and then still break up with them because they suck and don’t change. Your girlfriend is supposed to respect you and make you feel desired. If she’s not doing that then kick her sorry ass to the curb. The only reason women feel that they can get away with the kind shit is because dudes simp over them.

Yeah it's difficult. I'd really like to go scorched earth but I don't want to mess things up with the mutuals or with the parents. Her dad's my bud.
So yeah, polite but scathing seems the route to go. At the end of the day I think I come out of this better than them a few months from now. Something something suffering builds character or whatever that stupid quote is.
Gotta have the stick to the principles and have self respect.
Got scootered at the park. Was doing laundry nearby and skating. Park is sometimes icy/wet in the morning and even till mid day. Most of it was dry and good to go but I didn't get much time before parents brought their super little kids on bs 3 wheel scooters or just to run around like a playground kicking rocks back in.
Then they left got to skate for a bit and school got out. Scooters and helmets lying in the middle of the park randomly, chaos. Started to skate again when they were clearing off and everything was starting to get damp and ice up again.
Felt good to get out and at least got some laundry done. Wish the park was laid out/built better but it's not too bad. The bowl is perma wet for the winter it looks like. Water is coming in from the ground through the cracks. If I could skate the bowl at least it would split the park up better.
There are people that rip on scooters. I have some friends that will hit street rails on them. But I think the problem is that theyre so easy to roll around people never really learn any kind of etiquette. It's like they're at a playground.
If anyone's skated arvada in CO. That snake run is sketchy when there's kids there. You come down fast and they just go back and 4th playing tag.
I guess at least people are sort of using parks but I wish more kids would get into skating. I guess its not as big of a trend but now all these towns have parks and some of them none of the kids skate.
I'm just scared of hitting a stray scooter left on the ground or one of the million rocks that keep ending up in the park.

God damn it I twisted my ankle on some really janky stairs and I think I've damaged my achilles. It's been 18 months since I've been without an injury. As soon as I heal from one, some dumb ass shit happens and I get another. I'm going to lose my mind, I miss doing things

Cringy hallmark movie ahh essay coming in but I just realized that I honestly really enjoyed this season. Although I only skied the first and last couple weeks of the szn I was smiling and having fun in almost every clip when I watched over my edit. Also I realized I don’t need to be doing durham spins to have a cool little edit and that if I just do tricks that I think are cool and fun (I really liked that wall ride) then the tricks will come out naturally steezy on video. Also not to mention I met so many new homies this season. I regret bitching about how much skiing I missed or how unlucky I was to have such a bad accident and instead I should’ve just been grateful that I was able to get a little bit of skiing in after something like that and make a decent little edit on top of it. Having a slam like that really makes you appreciate every single day skiing even if you are just straight sliding some features and filming homies.
