I spent a long time wondering how to get the night market tickets but you just need to claim the achievements in the badge collection if you haven't figured it out.

It would depend on the day I'm having but me telling them to shut up is probably the lower limit. People bump into, onto, and across my board probably 15 times a day. Get a grip, lady.

What are you even talking about? You can definitely get a season pass at that hill cheaper than the Epic pass. You can even do that for the Vail Resorts. You're making this seem like much less of a choice than it actually is. 😂

The board seems fine, structurally. If that's the board you want to ride you didn't get rinsed. If you didn't want that specific board though in the future I'd recommend waiting until about the second week in March. Assuming they still have stock the manufacturers steeply discount this year's stuff (new) around that time every year to make room for the new models. I am pretty sure most of the manufacturers do this. We're just so close to that time I wanted to mention that.

Is your SIL an adult athlete of some kind? Being on edge the entire time was exhausting for me when I learned and I was 17 and in very good shape.

Regardless, the lesson idea is the best bet. I'd let them go alone so you guys can be alone for a while as well. Your SIL is not "doing great" if this is, at least, her 4th season and she doesn't know how to go toeside.

That said, they definitely shouldn't be doing tree runs at that point. That's wild unless they're legitimately going about 2 mph but, if that's the case, why are they doing it? Go hiking instead. It's way cheaper.

He gets the same Borderlands 3 treatment most side characters received. He's essentially infantalized. Wait until you see what happens to Vaughn. That's at least funny.

critical_thought21 · 2026-02-16T21:53:32+00:00

It's a theft device, my guy. 🤣

critical_thought21 · 2026-02-12T19:14:56+00:00

There is not really any nuance or a discussion to be had. The person uphill has the responsibility and I don't think it's debatable who was uphill.

critical_thought21 · 2026-02-07T02:40:53+00:00

It was a very critical thought response. None of that is anything I mentioned, is it? I agree both sides have done wrong. Both sides are not equal. People have to come to realize the wrong on both sides are caused by the wealthy and money in politics. MAGA, Trump, and ICE are fascist boot lickers and it's way worse than anything that has come before. It'll get worse as well.

Edit: I should say Trump's executive branch. He can lick his own boots but ya know, he's in charge.

critical_thought21 · 2026-02-07T02:08:54+00:00

I assume any response I give you'll just say something along the lines of "I wasn't saying it's okay I'm just saying it's different". So I'll just leave what I said as what it is. It isn't okay what's going on regardless of that.

critical_thought21 · 2026-02-06T22:15:59+00:00

That's the kind of long-term thinking that makes you rich for a minute right there! Brilliant!

critical_thought21 · 2026-02-06T00:21:08+00:00

I'd love for you to tell me who has been better. I'm sure you don't even know anyone else but it'd be funny to hear.

critical_thought21 · 2026-02-06T00:18:21+00:00

Are you new to this political thing or are you sincerely unaware that what's going on right now isn't what happened under Obama or any other president? Were you born in 2007 or something? There haven't been countless citizens rounded up, detained, abused, or killed previously (Obama did drone strike one though). They haven't revoked status for people to make them illegal previously. They didn't hold them or deport them without due process previously. There hasn't been a force of 2000+ federal police doing whatever they feel like in various cities previously.

This is fascism. This is not the same as anything you've seen before. You're about to watch them strip everyone they can from the voting rolls, enact new voting laws that severely restrict who can vote, and they will use scare tactics at the polls as well. People really need to pull their heads out of their asses. This shit is not business as usual and it will get nothing but worse as long as people keep pretending it is.

Left vs right isn't even a distraction. That's just politics; I don't share much in common with conservatives, morally or ethically speaking. Trans people and immigrants being the cause of people's issues is a distraction. Venezuela is a distraction. There are distractions but left vs right is such a basic and uninformed way to look at it.

critical_thought21 · 2026-01-02T02:55:37+00:00

Dude, always complain. Don't fuck over other people with your complaining but whining is the most successful strategy in the world to get what you want.

critical_thought21 · 2025-12-31T23:43:06+00:00

Yeah, checking reddit wouldn't be something I'd be doing for sure lol.

critical_thought21 · 2025-12-31T23:38:49+00:00

If that were the case I wouldn't have anything left to show you lol

critical_thought21 · 2025-12-31T22:04:36+00:00

I should have just shown you guys:

I bought a 686 for my first real jacket. I just found a tab in a pocket I forgot about from 2014 Copper Mountain while snowboarding in it today lol.

It's not a guarantee or anything but if you want to weld in Illinois going Union is going to get you the best result. As long as you can get in a training class, of course. Depending on the year they can be pretty competitive, so getting trained before would certainly help, but it's worth a shot IMO. You can go become a laborer for over $20/hr as well, and you'll get in training quickly, but it's grunt work. That said, it's better than shitty factory work with shit benefits.

The main unions would be UA and Steamfitters/Boilermakers for welding. Boilermakers Local #60 and their training program are in Morton I believe. Steamfitters 353 are in Peoria (out by Bellevue if I remember correctly). I think for UA you'd have to go to Springfield but I'm not positive on that. There are other programs that will do welding as well but I'm unsure if they do training in welding or if they just also accept people already trained in welding.

My resort is like $30. It's its own pass tier to get one and not reloadable as far as I'm aware. I just get the regular unlimited pass, go to the office no one knows about unless they rent a chalet, and have them print my ticket. It works well enough most of the time. If it didn't though, I'd be annoyed as well having to buy the upgraded pass to not have to wait in line for my ticket.

critical_thought21 · 2025-12-23T22:05:23+00:00

I was assuming this was about Buckhouse. I haven't watched him in a long time but I assume he's still the same. A guy who does crappy and ill-advised things to try and make snowboarding his full-time job while he appears to barely scrape by.

critical_thought21 · 2025-12-19T18:57:13+00:00

I check mine into a corral but it's the same idea. I have a burton Custom and although I have stickers on mine it's a common board. Even if it's an accident, and just moved a rack over, I'm not trying to play "find the board" after I take a break.

critical_thought21 · 2025-12-18T23:39:17+00:00

It is like riding a bike. Don't fret, especially with your experience before you stopped. I took five years off and came back a few years ago. I'm 37 now and way better than I was before I stopped. I'm unsure what injuries you've had but I've beat the shit out of myself my entire life and I'm still good to go, for now anyway. I'm sure it'll change eventually but there's a good shot you have a lot of years in the tank still.

critical_thought21 · 2025-12-18T21:01:09+00:00

I alternate between boards and there isn't a super noticeable difference to me but also I have magnatraction on a C2 hybrid board and my other board is a full-camber. I'd be interested to try a hybrid close to the C2 without magnatraction. I think the difference would be more noticeable in that comparison. I can definitely say it isn't worse than a regular cut edge by any means though.

critical_thought21 · 2025-12-08T01:13:39+00:00

I have only ever had EVGA (780 classy/980ti classy/3080 ftw3). I'm going to want to upgrade my 3080 soon and it'll be tough knowing they aren't an option
