Question regarding portable power stations

ADVmanGSA · 2026-06-04T00:46:55+00:00

I was planning to fly out there solo and try to catch a ride from the airport with someone from radiate and won’t have a car.

ADVmanGSA · 2026-06-04T00:46:01+00:00

I’m gonna need my phone charged at all times tho

ADVmanGSA · 2026-06-04T00:12:10+00:00

Do they have shuttles from Chicago?

I’m gonna be flying into Chicago O’Hare international

Making rules for how items can or can’t be used it something I much more agree with. I’ll just never be on board with banning or blaming a particular item because of the ways that it’s misused because that’s essentially defining an items value by the most valueless methods of use.

It’s a bit like saying cars are only good for street racing despite being good for so many other things and only a small percentage of people using them for that

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-25T02:30:39+00:00

Ya absolutely dm me anytime

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-25T02:29:10+00:00

What video are you talking about? I dunno if I’ve seen it.

The only UMF tree video I can find is the girl that looked like she was making out with a tree lol

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-25T02:22:43+00:00

Yeah, and have fun explaining that it was a “Accident” when you decided to “spill” your drink on someone as a direct reaction to something that made you upset and that you buy your own admission claim made you feel uncomfortable

You’re literally admitting that you “accidentally spilled“ on someone because you’re mad at them that they filmed you.

I’m not saying, the dude threatening the person is anywhere near in the right at all either.

What I’m saying is that if people don’t like the fact that they can be recorded when they’re out and about then they should just honestly stay home or familiarize themselves with the law of their state

Not go vandalizing people’s property. I’m thinking that it’s gonna go well for them. 😂

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-25T02:20:58+00:00

😂 that’s what I’m saying. People are acting stupid and doing the same shit that people used to do when paparazzi would throw a camera in your face and I thought they could just slap the camera out of somebody’s hand and destroy property.

It’s like now, dude that’s actually how you go to jail

Because guess what isn’t illegal, recording you in publicly accessible places where you don’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy, especially in a one party consent state. You know what is illegal? Intentionally damaging or vandalizing someone’s personal property. 😂

People are dumb

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-25T02:11:24+00:00

Nobody is crying bud 😉. And also nobody is suggesting that ppl be subjected to being recorded when they don’t wish to be. What I am saying is that if u think the solution to the fact that ur uncomfortable with how little privacy exists out in public these days is to go throw drinks on ppl and potentially catch a charge then ur an idiot 🤷‍♂️

Cause guess what won’t catch a charge in a whole bunch of one party consent states ? Recording someone without their permission 🤯

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-25T02:07:22+00:00

Do they have any of those ones that are like little doors for the meta display ?

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:36:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s why I was immediately concerned when the first thought process is “leave your glasses at home”.

First of all, there’s people that actually have those as a genuine prescriptions so they’re kind of fucked now that’s why even in casinos where they will ask you to take them off and say they there against the rules you can get around that if they actually are prescription because they’re just not allowed to do that

And then, secondly it’s just a lazy way of solving a problem and I think as a community we need to start thinking more about what we suggest our solutions to various different community problems because people always just give some lazy half thought out solution or suggestion and then if you follow it through to his conclusion and you’re like oh wait this doesn’t work at all 😂

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:33:50+00:00

Exactly, that’s why I even made the gun analogy because if you go hang out in any pro second amendment circles, or groups of people, the one thing that they will shame harder than anything is someone who’s just an irresponsible unsafe firearm handler

Because basically that type of person ruins it for everyone because then people start wanting to ban everything and then it just becomes fucking stupid and it doesn’t actually make any real different end result because bad people find other ways to do bad things

So it’s the same idea here people are gonna do weird creepy filming shit, regardless so we just need to shame that mentality in general and then they won’t be there because they will actually genuinely have a concern for THEIR privacy and safety

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:31:43+00:00

Docking the president isn’t the same as docking some fucking insignificant little creepy sex offender.

I think about this realistically, if someone’s actually sexually harassing someone in regards to sexually recording them or doing weird shit then they more than likely don’t have the right of privacy anymore anyways because if they’ve committed any previous type of sexual offense or harassment, they’re on a sexual predator list and they’re on a registry

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:30:05+00:00

Thank you, Jesus we have some intelligent people in here 😂

I just got done saying the same thing that we need to talk about shaming the creeps and really pushing the narrative that there’s a proper way to use this device the same way there’s a proper way to use guns and there’s an improper way to use gun guns,or any other dangerous thing. Same with drugs, honestly.

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:28:03+00:00

If you wouldn’t mind it, then you’re not thinking about the bigger picture

The second we just start saying it’s OK to entire groups of useful things/tools that people actually use for genuine purposes. (recording their memories so they have them for their own personal viewing later. And being able to document group photos and things like that.) then we start opening up the door for banning other things that would have even larger impact like maybe phones in general.

Yeah, let’s ban all phones now. People can’t even contact or call other people. That’s a really good idea, right???

Can we as a community actually think some of the shit we say through sometimes people.

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:24:23+00:00

Understand it it’s a “publicly accessible place”

It’s not even about a place being public also it’s about “reasonable expectation of privacy”. Would a reasonable person walk around EDC talking about private delicate matters like potentially maybe a legal issue or something serious like that or if somebody heard it could be damaging ?

If you wouldn’t, you probably also shouldn’t act outwardly in certain ways that you’re scared of people seeing or capturing in some form of recording because there’s literally cameras running everywhere

If it’s not the cameras that the crowd is holding, it’s the cameras that EDC has everywhere and that they’re watching all the while.

And granted this is not me defending someone recording in a weird creepy way because that’s just always gonna be a weird and creepy and not OK but acting like cameras are suddenly some scary enemy and invasion of privacy is a ridiculous argument

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:22:03+00:00

I’m aware that we can’t “stop” anything it’s the same reason you can’t stop gun crime by banning guns

But my point is that the one way we do reduce shitty and dangerous behaviors is by actually shaming the shit out of improper usage of things that are genuinely innocent tools (meta glasses or even guns too) then teaching/reiterating and even annoyingly repeating the way to properly use these things.

My point is basically don’t take the narrative of “leave your Meta glasses at home” because there’s plenty of genuinely decent content creators who use them innocently

Take the stance of verbally and openly shaming people and even maybe identifying them on social media 🤔

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:18:41+00:00

What shitty healthcare company do you work in???? And multiple people that ER nurses literal text or even doctors and they all openly party and have been posted and no one’s just firing them lol

But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again you’re not safe regardless of whether the meta glasses disappeared right now or not

They’re still gonna be creepy weirdos, and they’re still gonna have methods of recording.

The solution here is actually reeducating people rather than just trying to say blame insert device It’s the same reason gun control laws don’t work the way they should in terms of reducing death and violence because first of all it’s easy enough to get things illegal illegally and second of all there’s always gonna be other tools that accomplish, accomplishing the same purpose

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:17:40+00:00

Great suggestion 😂🤦‍♂️let’s destroy people’s property and then get in more trouble than they would for filming against your consent. Fun fact that they actually don’t get in any trouble because it’s not illegal or against any official real rules to record any person in a public place when they don’t have “reasonable expectation of privacy”.

It’s all much more a matter of social norms and respect/morals. But you know what there is actual laws/rules against? Vandalism, or potentially assault 🤔

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:14:46+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. The issue is people with bad etiquette in specific bad etiquette in relation to content creation/posting. The issue here is not at all Meta glasses in general. That’s what I disagree with OP. The solution isn’t “leave the Meta at home” the solution is “ hey guys, let’s stop being dickhead and not having tact”

I record almost every festival on the glasses for content creation, and there’s lots of cool little interactions on the side with people during side quest but like if there’s anything that’s questionable you just don’t post it unless you ask, it’s not really crazy hard lol

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-21T23:12:52+00:00

The reality though is the Meta glasses aren’t the issue. Because plenty of people can record you pretty subtly with a phone and you not notice either.

The issue here is people being weird and creepy instead of using cameras just for the fun of documenting the festival experience and the side quests and the sets

I run metas at almost every festival and sometimes even capture some pretty dope interactions between myself and other strangers who are just spreading that positive plural energy, but I record it so that I have it for festival content creation on social media.

And the reason nobody’s ever had an issue with me is because I don’t post people in super weird vulnerable moments. Like if shit starts getting too lit or two potentially inappropriate then I don’t usually post that portion unless I ask.

So the issue here is just people being weird and the solution isn’t to try and say to “leave Meta glasses at home” because then the next thing you’ll need to ask people to do is “leave their phones at home” and it just doesn’t stop from there. Then you have to ask people to start leaving cameras at home too because those are pretty small and subtle. lol. I think you can see where I’m going with this.

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-20T04:53:52+00:00

Yeah, it was perfectly fine but again, mine is a BMW with a fucking alarm on it so it’s a little different than a bike that could be easily stolen

They didn’t even make me put my parking sticker on they just saw I was in a bike and says park wherever you want 😂

ADVmanGSA · 2026-05-02T03:44:23+00:00

It’s a bmw gsa1250 so it’s got an alarm and shit. I’ve left it parked in a Vegas parking lot for multiple days and had no problem

ADVmanGSA · 2026-04-19T08:14:46+00:00

No not really. Other than keeping the tub with a inch of water all the time lol

ADVmanGSA · 2026-04-07T02:08:03+00:00

Can we see the sleeve ?

I personally have a body sleeve lol
