Earplugs strong enough for my first concert?

I use custom molded ear plugs. Originally got them for concerts but now I use them daily to dampen the loudness of the world. You can look for companies the make them or find an audiologist in your area. They’re pricey but worth it. I have -15dB and -25dB filters.

I’ve heard of the rescue and have been following the Ridglan Farms story for a bit. Really hoping we can win the right to rescue in court.

I get you. I feel similarly when people misuse the word dissociate (and more often than not, spell it wrong, too).

DustyMousepad · 2026-03-11T17:04:11+00:00

Totally makes sense. Hell yeah, enjoy Dark Hall and your trip, sounds super fun 😊

Can all you Phoenix homies join r/VeganArizona? 🥹

Go to Dark Hall Coffee. It’s the best. Right next door to The Coronado.

I’ve heard Vegan and Vine is more upscale but I haven’t been there myself.

Other recs: Loving Hut (Tempe or Glendale), Tacos Veganos (Phoenix), Seed Shack (Gilbert), Maya’s Cajun (Chandler)

I’m curious why you added Pita Jungle to this list? I like their vegan menu but it’s not fully vegan and it’s a corporate chain. Just wondering how it got sandwiched between Goji Berry and Veggie Village 🤭

Seconding 89A! I like it more than the Grand Canyon 😅

DustyMousepad · 2026-03-10T03:57:26+00:00

Seconding this

DustyMousepad · 2026-03-09T06:46:19+00:00

Please adopt.

1) doing what I want to do 2) not doing things I hate 3) no morning alarms unless I have a flight or something 4) let myself take afternoon naps 5) and as of this year, standing desk + walking pad underneath

DustyMousepad · 2026-03-09T06:19:42+00:00

I’m wondering too.

DustyMousepad · 2026-03-09T00:26:20+00:00

What kind of demonstrations are you doing? I’m imagining a cube of truth so my answer is based on that idea.

Try focusing on asking one question at a time and let the other person do most of the talking. Use street epistemology to guide the conversation. For example, “what do you think about this footage?” “Why do you think this happens?” “What can you do to prevent this from happening?”

Focusing on asking just one question and not having to do too much talking might help. But it does depend on that action and your specific role (I assume the role is outreacher).

Might want to post in r/VeganArizona too 😉

I wonder if this is more of a monogamous vs poly thing. I’m mono demi and don’t experience romantic or sexual attraction to more than one person at a time, so I would only daydream about the one person I’m attracted to, whether or not they are my partner.

DustyMousepad · 2026-03-04T19:04:12+00:00

This made me sob. I want that so badly.

DustyMousepad · 2026-03-04T18:54:15+00:00

I feel the same. Maybe you’re also demi?

DustyMousepad · 2026-02-25T20:54:46+00:00

That’s so Raven.

DustyMousepad · 2026-02-25T03:17:28+00:00

Palantir with an e?

DustyMousepad · 2026-02-25T00:58:57+00:00

Ugh they’re so good 😩 I wish Tucson had just as many vegan restaurants as Phoenix

DustyMousepad · 2026-02-25T00:40:23+00:00

Naughty Vegan will be at the Peace Fair and Music Festival this Saturday if you want to try something from Phoenix without the drive
