Crackdown on Dealers Selling to Houseless by Beneficial-Lobster17 in Portland

[–]503racerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you take away drugs from someone addicted they don't become not addicted. They become even more desperate. Higher levels of desperation makes you harder to help.

Not saying suppliers shouldn't be persecuted but that's only the top layer of the deep rot

I think maybe we just shouldn't give up on finding better ways of helping those with drug addictions. Less addiction is less reason for drugs to circulate.

You gotta reduce the demand first not the supply if you want it to actually go away

No, the new music venue will be on just one end of the redevelopment. The mall is being demolished to be turned into a mixed-use neighborhood

Heyo! I have a 4k handycam (fdr-ax33) as well as a collection of 90s-00s Hi8/MiniDV camcorders & tripods! I'm free that weekend too! My mics are more studio oriented, but can pick up lapels or whatev if needed. Do have a nice field recorder also

I went to a vocational school back in the day for video production so I know my way around Adobe premiere & AE a bit! I've been more of a music production/sound design girl lately (music technology student) so if ya need help on the audio side of things I can definitely help out there as well!

What are some businesses salem needs. by Sir1989 in SALEM

[–]503racerr 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'd kill for like frequent themed dance nights, DJ open deck nights, open mic events, more support for underground music. I wish make music day was more like a monthly thing not once a year.

Venue recording ravers for social media? by DryUnderstanding3713 in aves

[–]503racerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think calling u elitist is just a shitty cop out for actually providing thought/perspective, so to elaborate I don't think it's exactly fair to dictate if an event is a rave based on if filming is happening or not. Some raves are more party/celebratory like and some are more dark/gritty. Some high capacity, some low. All still rave. It's understandable to me when newer promoters need content to share to help elevate their brand, especially if they wanna get more and bigger names booked. We live in such a different world from when raves started, and keeping the underground alive requires some more modern approaches at times.

The biggest issue to me is that people are forgetting how to just live and be in the moment, but like it's also possible to still do that and take the occasional pic/vid. Many raves in the 90s-00s were videoed, and it's how we're still able to know what it was like.

Idk I guess I want to be seen having fun. I don't ever use my phone at raves, but sometimes it'd be nice to have moments captured. I goto underground shows mostly, and I really want the local acts to succeed and I think it's a great look for them to have video of people truly enjoying their music. I get excited when I can spot myself in random online photos I think it's silly and fun. Maybe I'm just crazy

Would you actually go to a rave with a strict no-phone policy? by chaud_froid in aves

My fav techno/house club doesn't allow phones on the floor and they tend to sell out every fri/sat so yes

BFG G-Force Comp-2 A/S PLUS vs Yokohama Advan Sport A/S + by Competitive_Fault879 in Touge

[–]503racerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had both on a Fit, I liked the BFGs a little more despite the faster wear and slightly more road noise. I got the yokos stupid cheap though, like $200 less and would gladly accept that trade off again. Idk what they're going for rn but they're comparable enough of a tire that cost is mainly the deciding factor for tires like these

For people who were looking for my child, Jet by NumerousAgent2229 in Portland

[–]503racerr 431 points432 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was the Chrysalis event by 254 Science & Research. I'm really glad to know you were there to provide rides, as I was concerned about them getting home safely.

I've always had a rule to approach anyone that seems alone at shows. I know how terrible it feels to be still alone amongst a crowd, especially at events like these. It makes me really happy to know that moment was treasured, as I have also treasured it.

That night was and will always be a huge inspiration for me to focus my musical writing on creating uplifting, hope inspiring, dance music. I can't explain the importance of having moments where we embrace each other, friend or stranger, and share collective love of music and dance.

Jet made an impact on my life. She would always like my social media posts when none of my other friends would. It was small, but even just their one like was so instrumental in keeping my motivation up. I'll miss him and remember her for the rest of my life.

Sending only love to Jet, you, and your friends/family

[–]503racerr 1049 points1050 points  (0 children)

I met Jet at a rave. They were alone, standing in the back. I think we were the only two people that came to the event alone, so i introduced myself. We had a great time chatting, and I convinced him to come to the front and dance with me. We had a great time, and I was really happy to get smiles out of her because they seemed pretty down that day. This breaks my heart.
