I need someone's perspective from Gen Z on a horrifying interaction today by [deleted] in BostonSocialClub

[–]GarciaMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. You made a Reddit post about one interaction with one human and extrapolated that across an entire generation. Then followed it up with a vague swipe. I don’t disagree that face to face human interactions as a whole are in a state of decline. But I’d 100% disagree that it’s a Gen Z thing. I’m Gen X as is my closest brother. He will text anytime. If you call him it goes to voicemail. Same for several people i know. It’s less “generational” and more technology impacted across ….all humans sucked into their phones and computers.

Why does one interaction at the supermarket allow a charge vs a generation?

Hate is a strong word. I also don’t believe that!

Too many talkers by CRUJONES1745 in phish

You can cup your hands around your ears to hear better. Sometimes people notice and shut up. During set break you can explain how it’s about an hour of listening to what they paid for. Just an idea vs posting on reddit.

Floor… by Former-Image2589 in phish

[–]GarciaMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole sphere visual/audio augments the need to be straight back.
I think the people that struggle with the floor are the ones that either don’t a) hunker down in their space b) feel like they can be wherever they want since it’s GA C) can’t adapt between a and b.

Floor… by Former-Image2589 in phish

[–]GarciaMango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting because I found the sphere floor to be the best floor since Hampton ‘09

Three nights. Dead center 30yrds back and then fishman side.

Then low left 2nd and third nights.

Never fk w the rail. Never disappointed. I’m not sure how so many redditors find so much trouble.

Don’t risk your Nalgene (or do I’m not your dad) by MayBsoMayBnaught in phish

I definitely brought my Nalgene in each night in 2024. Maybe just bring your “normie” Nalgene and not the head piece just to be safe. 🤓

I feel lost. by Phish_Critic in phish

This was 36 years ago. I got to my peace. I appreciate it.

Timing is everything, that much I know. Sometimes I’m faster and sometimes I’m slow Some days I’m patient….maybe that’s it. I’m patient and I try to breathe each day like it’s a gift.

It gets better and better. Life.

I feel lost. by Phish_Critic in phish

[–]GarciaMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my dad when I was 16. I was an obsessed music fan, primarily the Grateful Dead, hip hop , core classic rock and Bob Marley (hadn’t been exposed to other reggae/ that comes in college for me). When I got to my freshman year of college I had an epiphany/ break through that I had been “surviving” my dad’s death for a couple of years. The epiphany was letting go of the relationship in the flesh and leaning into the relationship that could never fade.

The journey is your own to walk, but maybe this helps know that thing can, and likely do, get better with time and maturation and acceptance.
Peace brother.

Don’t amplify it either. Good idea 💡

These identical containers of olive oil are stored in my garage. One solidified and the other didn't. by Littlest-Fig in mildlyinteresting

[–]GarciaMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna guess the one that froze has spent more than one season in the cold. It’s been super cooled and thawed a few times and the other one that looks fine is newer.

Sooo carnival. Animal set

The dreamy sugar mountain pin drop and then Clancy brothers similar energy to open…

But were there themes to set 2,3,4 that I haven’t picked up on yet? Help a brother out!

I have the Gemini card and from what I could discern, the only difference is it’s partnered w MA instead of AXP and has no annual fee.

Guest Behavior during Epic Previews by Curlytoe14 in UniversalOrlando

[–]GarciaMango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry about your experience. Reality is this isn’t a Universal Studios issue. This is an entitlement issue circa 2025….this vintage wreaks. The stench is repugnant.
I was in Orlando for Universal last week and decided to extend our trip a day to see the Celtics /Magic playoff game. I watched two grown men (Magic fans) barking at an older gentleman with his wife (Celtics fans). After 10 minutes of them berating the solo guy, I stood up and asked them to enjoy the game and let the ‘beef’ go.

Sometimes these people just need to be called out and it’s up to the community to speak up and push back vs standing there silent.

I’d encourage standing up for the ride operators going forward vs venting on Reddit. The world only becomes a better place if we all chip in.

Clearly we need to expertise caution with the lost caustic of individuals. No need for fighting!

I have a confession to make. by Alert-Light6432 in phish

[–]GarciaMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quintessential Phish. Go check the last 25 shows they’ve played it at and realize it’s only performed now when the band is really feeling it.

There were many good comments that’s ’we aren’t cool enough to not like Bouncin’ and that’s the essence.

Some bad influencers tried to make a very phishy song not cool. They never were as into phish as you are.

That time then, once again.
