We eroded the meaning of everything. Concepts have creeped so far from what they meant that not nothing means anything more. Everything is what it is you and not necessarily anyone else. Definitions have changed to be convenient truths for each’s benefit. Algorithmically enforced

It’s hard to not believe everything is about yourself when you are definitionally the center of your psyche.

@drinkonsaturday It'd be cool if you at least shouted him out and linked to his page. Instead you use ChatGPT to generate a post without any effort. Esp ironic because the post is all about hard work & attention to detail

You can absolutely tell when a guy owns and operates his own skatepark. It’s in the details that most people never notice. The maintenance tells the whole story.While everyone else is out riding, he’s on his hands and knees with a grinder, a level, and a bucket of resin, patching seams that would’ve sent a kid to the ER at a corporate park. He knows the difference between a clean 1/8" expansion joint and a sloppy 1/4" gap that’ll eventually crack and cup. He feels it in his knees after hours of crawling the transitions, chasing flatness most skaters take for granted. The patchwork fixes take forever because he refuses to half-ass it. No quick spray of black paint over a death trap. No “good enough for the kids.” Every repair is done like the park still has to last him another decade of early mornings and late nights. He knows exactly how the plywood breathes, how the concrete cures in summer humidity, how one misplaced screw head turns a perfect line into a wrist-breaker. And yeah—if you want something done right, you do it yourself. That’s not just a saying, it’s the religion of every true DIY skatepark owner. The blood on the coping, the sawdust in his hair, the endless battle against weather and wear... that’s love most people will never understand. Respect the guy grinding it out alone. His park might not be perfect, but every inch of it carries his name.

My fav current trend is Ozempic chicks posting pics in the gym as if the hard work yielded them these results. I love seeing people get healthier but i am not into false advertising

Social media platforms need to add an Ai filer. Ironically using ai to filter out ai content.

@TheYea I think e-bikes will soon be consider as dangerous or more than action sports soon. Despite those things costing 800-1500 they are totally junk. I wouldn’t have my child going 25mph are bikes so poorly constructed.

Every kid in my neighborhood has an e-bike, no skateboards, scooters or rollerblades. Electric power only. Action sports gonna need to learn how to work together sooner or later..

I usually post about health but I thought I would share this. I hope it saves some of you from bad consumer decisions: Totally agree. I feel the same way about expensive cars. Buying a "nice" car was one of the worst decision I have ever made. I was constantly worried about it getting damaged and it began to own me. I will only buy trucks that I can beat up for the rest of my life. Don't let the things you own end up owning you.

🚨 MIKE POSNER SAYS HIS $70,000 ROLEX MADE HIM MISERABLE — SO HE DITCHED IT FOR A $40 TIMEX American singer and producer Mike Posner says buying a luxury Rolex turned out to be one of the worst “deals” he ever made. He thought the watch would make him feel cooler. Instead, it made him anxious. Posner says every time he traveled with it, he was constantly worried: • it would get scratched • a backpack zipper would damage the face • he’d forget it in a hotel safe He says the watch was a Rolex Day-Date with a diamond bezel, a model often referred to as the “Presidential” Rolex because it has been worn by multiple U.S. presidents. Eventually he realized something unsettling. “I didn’t possess the Rolex… it possessed me.” So he ditched it. Now he wears a simple Timex and says it gives him way more joy because he doesn’t have to worry about it. His message: “Don’t slave away for possessions… don’t let your possessions possess you.” Did Mike Posner just say the quiet part out loud about luxury status symbols?
