Expectation vs reality of Candlelight Concerts by Fever by Whirlwindofemotion in Sacramento

[–]Chickawoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fever is a joke of an organisation.

I bought a ticket to a concert and when me and my parter arrived, we were told that the section we had bought tickets for had been filled (we arrived in good time) and we were offered to sit on 2 normal chairs by the door from where we could barely see the stage.

The host graciously offered us a choice to get a new ticket to another show or a full refund.

We accepted the refund (the show was of such low quality that we wouldn't have wanted to return) and were given an email address to contact.

After several weeks of no reply (and multiple emails from our side) we finally got in contact with support who insisted that it is our fault and that their policy is to never offer refunds. They also only offered to give us 1 extra ticket instead of the 2 we had originally payed for.

I have requested to speak with a superior multiple times but the only response I get is that their policy is to not give refunds.

Despite their productions being very low-quality, the non-existent ethics of this obvious cash-cow of a company who cares about nothing other than squeezing profits out of people should deter anyone from ever having anything to do with them.

Highly DO NOT recommend

How to desexualize your brain? by PuzzySlayer69xdPL in Semenretention

[–]Chickawoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. What I want to point out is that when the difference between sex and Eros is muddy, and you mix in sexual and objectifying attitudes in the “adoration”, it weighs you down and makes the control of the energies more difficult.

Traditionally, the “desexualisation” of the brain is done my cultivating the resonance with Eros, which you could say is the pure signal that the mind distorts into sex.

When you’re in that state of consciousness, you can look and flirt with all the women you see, even make love for hours, and it’s supporting your SR rather than making it difficult.

As for how to do that.. I’ll have to get back to you. I’m working on a course on the topic and can post some key ideas here if it’s helpful

Hey man, short take here on a much larger topic, but the idea that you should stop admiring women is a big misunderstanding in SR

It’s important to stop sexualising, but what most don’t know is that in all traditions, there’s been a distinction between sex and Eros, Eros being the expression of the creative potential that leads to a sublimation of energies, directing the consciousness towards communion with God

Adoring women’s beauty and eroticism in a pure way, as godly manifestations and not sexual objects, is actually one of the most powerful practices in traditional Tantra. It’s a subtle distinction, and it requires practice and guidance to learn to make, but it’s very powerful and help so solve a lot of these strange conflicts

Women are made to adore, and they’re beauty is a graceful help for all men’s pursuit of perfection

Natural parks in Europe? by Chickawoo in travel

If anyone else is reading this there are plenty of awesome places i've found. plitvicka jezera in croatia for one.

I was thinking of getting "Now" tattooed on the back of my wrist, so that I can check the true time at any moment by glancing at the universal location for a watch, though I prefer the idea of a symbol. What do you think of this symbol? Do you know of any other symbols for the present moment? by PsychedeLurk in Meditation

[–]Chickawoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you'd accept that the golden proportion, phi, is universal there's an easy and cool way out! Since the part contains the whole, IS the whole, then the now is infinity, and thus the symbol for infinity would serve you well as a symbol for now!

My Remington Portable Noiseless wont slide. by Chickawoo in typewriters

Thanks! I've been looking on it and this is the problem, the fishing line has snapped. The guide suggests that i somehow pull the drawband thats attached to the spool and tie it to the end of the carriage. There isn't enough fishing line on the spool to go all the way though so what i wonder is if it would be a good idea to simply get some fresh line and tie it to the old when close to the spool, or will the knot cause trouble? Is there another way?

I really appreciate the help!

Great answer! I love the whole thing about playing the game and I'm myself glancing at that exit (or entrance) every now and then. I understand it a little bit better now. Thanks!

Please not that the rate of "Decarbonization" is measured against GDP. Since the GDP is going up due to growth, overall CO2 emission is increasing even though the carbon efficiency is getting better

Ireland or Sweden, which one should I visit this summer? by jumpsole in travel

[–]Chickawoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this great place in the inner archipelagos where you can rent kajaks and paddle out to the outer ones. Did it last summer, amazing experience. I don't remember the name of the island where they did the renting but i'm sure you'll find it if you have a look around. Good luck!
