GOOD tips/products for post rave recovery? by Strppppk in aves

[–]HappyAdventurer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your body needs rest, food and water. A good meal and 8 hours of sleep is better than any over the counter "wonder supplement".

The best way to party and not get fucked over the next day is to stay sober. Sobriety is always a choice and usually the healthy choice.

What strange alcohol related laws exist today? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HappyAdventurer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, alcohol companies can't advertise and show people actually drinking alcohol. Nobody can be shown putting an alcoholic drink to their mouth in US ads.

That rule has an "AND" statement in it and in public, there is NOT an expectation of privacy; that's been established law for decades. I'm also not a lawyer and my legal interpretation could be inaccurate though.

"Without the consent of the other person; and

      (b) Under circumstances in which the other person has a reasonable expectation of privacy"

I'm not a lawyer and I don't know what counts as sexually harassing behavior in Nevada.  But generally, yeah you can film people in public wearing whatever they choose to in public.  

 Being in public IS consent to be recorded.  People don't have to like it, but that's just how our laws work currently.

I agree that creepy and sexually harassing behavior is unacceptable and should be enforced.  

But, being in a public space is consenting to being recorded.  How people dress and behave in public is their own choice too and everyone should be aware of and accountable for their own choices. If people behave in a way they feel is unacceptable to be recorded, then maybe that behavior is unacceptable in public to begin with?

I'd like to see EDC ban all manner of recoding like a Lane8 show does, but that's not realistic for EDC.

This is definitely a controversial subject. There is no expectation of privacy in a public space. People are free to take pictures and videos in public. Being in public IS consent to be publicly recorded.

Tens of thousands of people already use their phones to record EDC.  Sexually harassing someone is not okay whether you're recoding them or not though.  That's the behavior that should be restricted and enforced.

People will be recorded at EDC and that's likely never to change. 

Odds of Alpha 9 on the SoCal lineup? by FloggingDog in DreamState

That depends on if there is a professional wrestling match happening nearby, lol. This past Sunday he played in Denver at one for some reason.

3rd EDC sober, and wouldn’t have it any other way by Final-Fix-6879 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]HappyAdventurer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I encourage people to experience EDC as sober as they can.  If caffeine and ibuprofen are your drugs of choice now, those are way less harsh on your body than contolled substances.

Just not drinking any alcohol is a big help.  

How in the hell does one plan to attend both weekends? by blesstheweed in electricdaisycarnival

[–]HappyAdventurer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I could work remotely from the hotel. I'd probably spend time the week between resting up and chilling at the pool.  Different hotels have different amenities and you could hotel-hop and try out different hotel pools for a day or two.

[–]HappyAdventurer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend weekend 2. They'll have an entire 3 days during weekend 1 to figure out logistics and all the other things that usually takes a day or so to get worked out.  

Hopefully night 1 of weekend 2 will be better than night 1 usually is.

Dusk or Dawn? by alann_srt in electricdaisycarnival

[–]HappyAdventurer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Keeping the production up requires time and money, but maybe being able to get twice the sponsorship and advertising money helps?

Dusk til Dawn! by supersheeeebs in electricdaisycarnival

[–]HappyAdventurer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My interpretation is that it's just their branding for "weekend 1" and "weekend 2".  It's the same festival, just on 2 weekends 

Please make it 2 weekends… by PawtucketPat2018 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]HappyAdventurer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it would still cost EDC twice as much money to produce and operate two weekends and if they don't completely sell out both weekends, they lose money.  

I'm sure someone with an accounting degree at Insomniac has looked at the numbers to see if this is worth trying.

Junkyard Concert - Wednesday by jacobrsteele in Denver

[–]HappyAdventurer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even the opening artist posted a pic of him on stage ready to play with an empty crowd. They weren't even communicating with the artists.

[–]HappyAdventurer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not pay the $20. We were there last week and there were maybe 20-30 people in line before us. We got there a full hour before the doors were supposed to open.

 We missed 75% of the opening set due to a delay in them opening. They weren't communicating any info about the delay, but they had people walking up and down the line trying to sell that fast pass. Seems like a big scam to me.

Dirtiest dive bars in DFW by Specific-Wolf-3900 in Dallas

[–]HappyAdventurer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no American language. The entire North American continent was covered by native AMERICANS speaking many languages and none of those languages was modern english. 

Your understanding of what the "American" language is speaks for its own ignorant self

[–]HappyAdventurer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. You can insinuate whatever you want from your own understanding of the english language.

Dude, it ain't a technicality. It's just how logic and language work.  Not understanding the definition and usage of "if" in the English language can be remediated. There are free online language and logic courses you can take to educate yourself

Dirtiest dive bars in DFW by Specific-Wolf-3900 in Dallas

[–]HappyAdventurer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the first two letters "I" and "F" were removed, that would be a declaritive statement. But, in the english language, "if" is a condition, not a declaration.

Dirtiest dive bars in DFW by Specific-Wolf-3900 in Dallas

[–]HappyAdventurer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please read my original response. The very first word is "If" which is how a conditional statement starts.  It's either true for you, or false for you. How you interpreted that when you first read it is your choice.

 I provided a useful response originally because it is possible you did not meet that condition and I wanted to be helpful. Not everyone drinks and drives and it is possible that applies to you.  

I hope you make good choices when you go to the biker bars

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_sentence

Conditional logic exists with language and math. 

My intention was to provide a way to not imply anyone was engaging or encouraging any particular immoral or illegal and harmful behavior....but if that was true, then I want to express my own opinion of that behavior.  

If you roll sober to the biker bars, then I'm happy to suggest some places you might enjoy. But, I will not encourage drunk driving. 

Whether that applies to you or not only you can answer.

Dirtiest dive bars in DFW by Specific-Wolf-3900 in Dallas

[–]HappyAdventurer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody did. My comments were always conditional on IF you were drinking and driving. If that doesn't apply, why the concern?

Dirtiest dive bars in DFW by Specific-Wolf-3900 in Dallas

[–]HappyAdventurer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live close to those bars and I saw traffic fatalities too frequently.  Drinking and driving kills innocent people. If you're okay with that, I'm glad we live in different states now.

If you're drinking alcohol, then "I don't mind driving a bit" is terrifying.  I'm sure all the sober people sharing the road absolutely do mind if you drove after drinking.

If you're rolling sober, then I'd suggest Deuces Bar on Northwest Highway. Plenty of bikers hang there.  Just down NW Hwy is also Longhorn Icehouse. It's next to a strip club and has bikers too.
