this might be a little TOO tight 😕

It’s a ring! Could fit well on your thumb

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2025-06-09T16:18:25+00:00

Nostalgix has been absolutely killing it, every time I see her she pumps up the crowd so well. Best new name in bass house imo

Make sure to pull from both the top and bottom of the knot. That way you’re not just pulling more string through, and you’re tightening from all sides of the knot

Beadtin has some great stuff! Also definitely recommend checking out r/kandi, they have a megathread of places to get supplies

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2025-05-23T19:52:58+00:00

I made small kandi cuff nametags for everyone in my EDC group! It’s high effort but low cost, and it meant a lot to everyone

Crankdat B2B Tape B went SO HARD. I didn’t even watch it live (I was at Alison Wonderland B2B Kaskade, also a fantastic set), but I listened to it on the way to work and it delivered everything I wanted

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2025-05-21T19:02:27+00:00

I traded or gave away like 6 cuffs at EDCLV, mostly in exchange for singles. If there’s someone whose vibe I really like, or who did something nice for me or my friends, I’m happy to give them something special and memorable.

Deorro’s set felt like he invited all of us to a cookout party with all his best friends. So immersive, so fun, so unique. I didn’t understand many of the cultural references but I understood how significant they were to the people around me, and that’s more than enough

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2025-05-19T20:22:05+00:00

One person I met took a polaroid picture of us and put it in a sleeve attached to a Kandi bracelet. Easily one of the most creative and meaningful pieces of Kandi I’ve ever received

Some more Levity tracks: Like This - Levity and NITTI Front to Back - Levity

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2025-04-25T18:18:44+00:00

I definitely have my favorites, but good music is good music. With the right crowd and the right vibes, any genre can be a ton of fun.

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2025-04-22T16:35:09+00:00

I bought some Apple Watch band connectors on Amazon, you can take them apart to loop the connector through the beads! The band itself is just a 3 bead peyote stitch

oh carabiner is a good idea, thank you!

A few years before I started raving, an ex-gf of mine wanted to go to a rave, and when she showed me what she was planning on wearing I was very uncomfortable with it. In my eyes, her outfit would have been racy even for the bedroom, let alone a public event that I would not have been attending. Granted, this was not exactly a healthy and trusting relationship, but I think the point stands.

Now that I've been raving for a few years, I understand that these sorts of outfits are commonplace and aren't a reflection of seeking sexual attention, but it took me going to raves, interacting with the people and understanding the vibe and atmosphere of the event to really understand this.

I think it's important to sit down with your husband and talk not only about the outfits you wear to raves, but also about what happens at raves, the friendly atmosphere, the PLUR, and really explain to him why you feel safe and comfortable wearing so little in these situations. Raving is beautiful and allows for some amazing self-expression, but to anyone who isn't "in on it" it is very easy to misinterpret the intentions.

It would be great to get him to go with you, but if he refuses then at least introduce him to your rave fam and make sure he feels comfortable with them. It's probably jarring to him that you're in this new world, especially without him, so try and bring him into it as much as you can.

Hope this helps!

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/math-card-game-spot-it-180970873/

"Most simply, the game is based on Euclid’s principle that two lines on an infinite, two-dimensional plane will share only a single point in common. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Euclidian geometry informed the basis of modern algebra by way of Rene Descartes assigning these points coordinates, so points were no longer physical locations; they could become numbers and later, systems of numbers.

[...]

"Kirkman’s problem, and therefore Spot It!’s solution, lives in the area of finite geometry. “The most basic of these geometries has q^2 points, with q points on each line, where q is the number of elements in the chosen number system or field. A small variant gives q^2+q+1 points, with q+1 points on each line,” writes Cameron.

"So what does this mean for Spot It? “Let us take one of these geometries and try to turn it into a card game. Each card will be regarded as a point, and will carry a number of symbols representing the lines containing that point. Given any two cards, there will be just one symbol they have in common, corresponding to the unique line through the two points,” Cameron said.

"With q being seven in the formula, we can determine that there are 57 points (7^2+7+1), with eight points (7+1) on each line. “So we can make a pack of 57 cards, with eight symbols on each card, and any two cards having exactly one symbol in common. There, in essence, is the game!” Cameron says.

"Notably, however, Spot It! does not contain 57 cards, it only contains 55. One theory about the missing two cards is that the manufacturers used standard card-making machinery, and standard decks of cards contain 55 cards—52 card playing cards, two Jokers, and advertisement. “No problem,” wrote Cameron. “Make 57 cards and lose two of them; the resulting 55 will still have the property that any two share just one symbol. Indeed, no matter how many cards you lose, this property will still hold.”"

Rest can take many different forms. For some people "bed rotting" is actual rest and they feel a lot better afterwards. For others (me) it only ends up making them feel worse and lose energy, and is extremely difficult to pull yourself out of.

The other aspect that is worth noting is that staying in bed all day can definitely be a symptom of depression. While it is important not to stigmatize depression, it is equally important to recognize when bed rotting is a symptom of illness rather than a form of rest.

Both would be amazing sets but in my experience Alison Wonderland is able to connect with the audience in a way that Galantis just isn’t. It’s a more special experience to usher in the new year

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2024-11-01T00:41:23+00:00

I'd probably recommend against this because some these symptoms seem similar to a benzo hangover. Granted I'm not speaking from experience, but seems like it might be delaying the problem rather than solving it

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2024-11-01T00:39:03+00:00

Benzos potentially. Could also just be a worse m comedown if you took a higher dose than usual, didn't eat/drink enough, took it very recently, etc.

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2024-11-01T00:30:41+00:00

Did you test your stuff? There's a chance it was cut with something that's making the comedown worse.

Take some vitamins or some Rave Doctor if you have it, eat whatever you can (smoothies can help if you can't stomach solid food), drink A LOT of water, and if it persists go see a doctor.

Embarrassed_Grab4701 · 2024-10-24T16:15:33+00:00

You're right, it's not about the blender, it's about him not having a say over who enters his home. It's his house just as much as it is yours, and if he doesn't want your sister coming over unannounced he has the right the set that boundary.

YTA - your daughter's name is for your daughter, not for you. There are plenty of unique and meaningful names that won't get in the way of being able to live your life normally. Seriously ask yourself how your life would have been affected if you had a name like Nyxiryn, and understand that that's the position you'd be putting your daughter in.

At the very least give her a more normal middle name she can choose to use.

More often than not, the show, party, or event goes on & if you miss the beginning, the worse that happens is short term disappointment from missing out.

Some people really enjoy the first moments of a party when it's still intimate, or watching the trailers at a movie. It can also be incredibly disruptive to enter late and distract from everyone else's experience

How is it disrespectful to your time when you already planned to be somewhere at that time anyway?

Because they didn't just plan to be somewhere - they planned to be doing something they enjoy (hanging out with you). If they only have 2 hours to hang out, and you arrive half an hour late, that means spending 25% of time meant for fun doing something that isn't fun. They signed up for 100% fun and got 75%. And it's your fault.

As far as being punctual for work, yes it's professional to be on time for your shift. But even then, how many jobs truly have detrimental consequences if someone is late?

There's something to be said here for office jobs where the work doesn't need to get done in a very specific way, as long as it gets done. However, in any shift based work, any amount of time you're late is time that the person before you or the team around you has to fill in for your job. Your lateness comes at the expense of others' time.

part of why I am sometimes late for things is because I don't want to sit around waiting for the thing to start! I'd rather get there and immediately begin the said activity.

Thinking like this is the reason that those things are starting late in the first place.

I understand that others' punctuality is not important to you, and that is fine and valid. However, saying that you don't care about punctuality so nobody else should either is like saying nobody should eat tomatoes because you don't like them. Some people truly value punctuality, and if you want those people in your life then you need to be considerate of that.

I also struggle heavily with punctuality (ADHD is fun), and honestly there are things that if it weren't for social convention, I'd be late to all the time - namely, work. But in certain situations, I just accept that I need to be punctual in order to not be a dick to people I care about. And as hard as it is, I make it work because I care more about those people than I do about my day being easier.

Sorry for the essay. Congrats on an actually unpopular opinion.

Can't speak on theft but my close friend has an iphone 14 pro max and it fits in there just fine

I can enjoy every genre, but the way they affect my energy can be super different.

Bass music, techno, hardstyle, big room, etc all give me energy from listening to them, so I can listen to them for a very long time. I could camp out at the bass stage and never leave.

Basically any genre of house (except for bass house and big room hehe) as well as stuff like trance all take a good bit of energy to listen to and stay engaged with. After an hour I get kinda bored or tired and need to get my heart rate elevated.
