@popvulture I’ve heard Austin has grown at an exponential rate! The low key cool towns like ours have been blown up. Hard to blame people for wanting to move and live somewhere great. But, shit…how hard is it to have some damn human decency??
-
@Mizmazzle yeah man it kills me. Just not enough room here, tbh — Austin’s a fairly small town in terms of footprint. I’m so GET OFF MY LAWN it’s not even fun haha. Sigh, crotchety old man status here I come

@popvulture I thought we liked our presidents to look like “Tales from the Crypt!”

@Mizmazzle said in Random Rants:
I moved to Denver from Southern California when I graduated high school. Quickly linked my skateboarding passion to snowboarding. Fast forward 30 years and I’ve all but given up on it because the insane traffic this town has developed over the last years. I used to get 30+ days a season. That’s down to about 4 nowadays. I hate spending my weekend in traffic. What used to be a 50 minute drive has often become 4 + (sometimes each way) hours to go battle crowded lift lines and douche bags who have lost basic sensibilities and etiquette, asshole drivers, taillights for ions. We Decided to go up this morning cause we got some nice snow. Left at 5:00am. We’ve now sat in traffic over an hour and haven’t even got out of town yet!! Fuck this bullshit!!!
Went through the same thing when we lived there. I basically stopped skiing around 2016 bc of it. Even doing backcountry skiing was getting terrible. I can only imagine how things have changed since leaving. Really the only solution here is to buy or long term rent a condo up in the mountains and drive up on off hours so you're already there the next morning before the lifts open.

@popvulture we do!! Kuma is her name. She just turned 15. Do you have one too???
-
@Mizmazzle nope, I just have a cat. My girlfriend just moved in officially though, and one of our next moves is to get a dog. Not sure what we’ll look for yet, but I’d love maybe like a mid size cattle dog. Need a good lil nipper in my life.

@popvulture good luck with the new living arrangements. That’s pretty exciting. I didn’t realize how small my couch was until my wife first moved in back in the day…that damn couch is still too small haha.
-
@Mizmazzle haha being 6’2”, it’s paramount that I have a big-ass couch, so I totally feel you on that. Thankfully I already found the ideal one for my sasquatch size at CB2. You shoulda seen the couch my girlfriend gave away before she moved in, was like a torture device.
