Months of anticipation. Watching videos, scoping the used market for gear, and trying to find the answers on the "right" beginner setup and finding a board I wanted... Finally, everything came together in the last few weeks, and I was able to get out tonight for the first time.

Basically, I realized I will suck way more than I could have imagined; I largely did some pushing, balance and tic tac practice but you know what... IT WAS SO FREAKING FUN.

I can't wait to get out and LARP again soon. I also only ate sh*t twice, and they were just a small serving, but my hip is sore haha. I am so thankful for pads and meant to even wear some hip pads today but forgot them at home. That won't happen again.

All this to say, get out there and shred gents and gentleladies - I am looking forward to where this journey goes 🤘

Since Decades came out, I decided I wanted to go back and really experience the metalcore catalogue since my old ass definitely misses that vibe and wow am I really glad I did.

I tend to be a production snob, and I always felt like Creatures was a bit underdone anytime a song would come on so I never gave it the chance it deserved.

That album just slaps even if the production isn't just quite as compressed or layered as is most modern stuff.

Anyways that album slaps and wondering if anyone else went back and did the same or just wants to share their love for Creatures 🤘😉

Basically title. Hoping to keep this civil and encourage candor! Would like to know your thoughts on this and if it's just a hard no or not.

Looking to get into skating. But ya know. Not sure if I'll really love it. How much am I gonna hate myself as a 6'4 guy with 13 shoes on an 8.0 board? I want to skate street and transition too.

Reason I'm asking is there's a really good deal close by otherwise I'd be basically looking at spending over $100

So I've been getting back into some vans recently and I really forgot how bad the break-in period can be..

So I wanted to throw a shout out here since between some comments I've seen in random threads here and also tips I've found in some vids on youtube I really appreciate the communities' tips on how to break in especially the heels really quickly!

It took my still painful shoes after several hours of wear time to no more blisters with just a little bit of bending effort and putting some dumbbells on the heels for several hours.

I'm sure there are some graphics out there that come out great every time, but I just ordered 2 shirts for the first time on teepublic and though one of them is almost satisfactory (way simpler design but blurry nonetheless) the other is fairly blurry and since it's so busy it looks kinda meh.

I mean these are just band shirts and they're on their softstyle blanks which I really like, and they weren't exactly expensive, but I was hoping for some clearer images. Just wondering if this is just kind of expected that print quality won't exactly knock your socks off?

I just got back into dating a few weeks ago (M36) and I'm already exhausted. The apps themselves are just awful. So much emphasis on swiping based on limited info of someone's looks or some perceptions of their personalities based on the photos and their shoes ig?

It's just incredible to me how much of this is all about looks. I'm not someone that would say looks don't matter either, they of course do, but heaven forbid people actually post bios or share interests.

I just don't get why I'm supposed to just swipe and hit up someone based on their aesthetic or how good their photos are and then spend time and money to try to interrogate them to figure out if they're a match. Like what in the f is this life.

I have about $1500 worth of damage from the storm. Really unsure if I should file since everything I read seems to paint a picture that a 2nd claim could really hurt my file. My deductible is $500. What say you all?

Also the car insurance claim was about 1.5k if that's of relevance at all.
