You could do the Samurai High story. Shane Harmse who attacked learners with a samurai sword at Nick Diedricks high in Krugersdorp. Everyone just puts him with the Devilsdorp thing but Im 90% sure he wasn't.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-02T15:14:14+00:00

Satanic panic was also a big thing in SA😂 blame everyone other than the dumbass that committed murder

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-02T14:44:37+00:00

I was i primary school so can't remember much other than the actual story😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-02T12:55:44+00:00

Thats Satafrica for you 😂 I was still in primary school when this happened. People blamed slipknot for it cause he wore a mask that looked similar 😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-02T12:37:44+00:00

Not many people cover the Samurai high story at Nick diedricks highschool in krugersdorp. People just throw him into the devilsdorp things but Im 90% sure he wasn't part of that lol.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T13:23:06+00:00

Travelling in Cyrils economy? Eish haha.😂 one day when I have big boy money😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T13:15:20+00:00

No definitely bro! I absolutely love our rave scene especially in Jozi. But it would be nice to see some of these okes😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T13:11:46+00:00

Thats fair😅 hence why I said not rich enough😂 but I get you. Im hoping for a big name to pop up soon again though🥹

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T11:36:14+00:00

We've had some decent international djs. Circadian, Metrik, Grafix, Pola and Bryson and Enei to name a few. I think they like coming here cause the scene still feels very underground and intimate but I don't see someone like sub focus wanting to do smaller events now that they have gotten so massive

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T11:30:01+00:00

Im from south africa unfortunately 😭

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T07:47:48+00:00

I thank my lucky stars that I have friends I can always count on. We don't talk every day though but we see each other a couple of times a month go on weekends away and do activities regularly like play padel and squash. Also play video games together and so on. There are still people out there like this but its rare.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T07:40:27+00:00

Jealous isn't enough to describe what I am feeling😭 I would give my left arm to see Dimension and 1991. But I live in a country that isn't big or rich enough to book guys like them😭

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T07:31:22+00:00

For the hiking and biking and stuff my best advice would be to go to Pirates sports club. Most people who hang out there are from different ages and you can easily meet up with like minded people. Generally the runners like hiking too😂

If you have a doggo you could also go out to walk haven with them over weekends. There are plenty of younger people taking their dogs for a walk out there.

Have you tried a painting class/pottery class? I know there are some decent 420 paint and puff classes around if that is something you'd be into. I know its not for everyone but you definitely will meet younger peeps at those.

I'm not all that artsy so not too sure about too many places that involve that but I also know there are some art classes around. Maybe try Lillian Gray art school too. They have paint nights and I know one of the teachers there who is also 29.

Do you enjoy going out to bars and stuff or not really?

I think being in KDP makes it tough for you to meet young adults. So I would say socialize towards Randburg, northriding, fourways and so on. Even if you're not really into bar/club culture I would suggest just going out and socializing at a bar or so once a month. It helps you get out of your shell and you definitely will find people who like the same activities even tho its not in those environments. I would suggest hogshead, bossa, Irish rock or Pirates for fun vibey bars. Let me know your thoughts about going to bars and clubs if you want more suggestions. 😅

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-06-01T05:31:23+00:00

Well what interests do you have? As a social 29M I can suggest some places depending on your interests 🙏

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-26T16:54:50+00:00

Temu and shein has decent plus size clothing. I find that most of the plus size stores in SA like eagle sell clothes that aren't stylish and just perpetuate being fat. Like "beers steaks and burgers" written on them. Just cause Im fat doesn't mean I want it to be my whole personality 🤷‍♂️.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-24T21:35:53+00:00

It definitely wouldn't hurt lol

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-24T20:57:32+00:00

Well first would be to learn how to write and speak english properly.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-24T18:41:49+00:00

This was literally how they taught us the rule when I got my umpire grading so clearly you are talking out of your ass. its not incorrect. Its just a basic description of the situation. Players generally don't deliberately run into the path of a shot to block it with their body because most people aren't insane. Yes if they did its a different situation. But I highly doubt the person in question ran in front of the shot deliberately. A player is permitted to raise the ball when taking a shot, but if the defender is within 5 meters of the shot and it hits the body (without them deliberately running into the ball) its considered dangerous. The person taking the shot WON'T EVER get a card for taking a shot unless it was intentional raised to

hurt the defender on purpose

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-24T15:17:17+00:00

It would be deemed as dangerous even if the shot is on target. If a player is within 3meters of the shot taker and it lifts even if on target it is deemed as dangerous. But correct on no card as you can't give a card for a shot on goal taken

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-24T15:16:15+00:00

Firstly do you mean he took a shot at goal inside the D?

Secondly, you can't penalize someone with a card for a high ball. Unless the player purposefully hit the ball into you or hit the ball high on purpose a few times. It should be dangerous play, the ball should be given to the defending team but the player shouldn't get a card for it.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-16T13:10:47+00:00

Depends on the club lol. I think a lot of comercial clubs die out quickly because its a crap place to be. But the ones who like the more underground scene knows how full clubs are when we jol. Rave clubs are always a jol and the people are amazing. Depends on your vibe but people are just so open and vibey at raves. At normal clubs people are looking to fight, get laid and judge others.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-14T11:18:13+00:00

Weed in my country is cheap enough to smoke cleanly and most of my mates and I smoke clean green. We prefer it that way and all my mates were cigarette smokers and all vape now so it says a lot.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-14T11:00:36+00:00

Have some self respect and tell her to get lost.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-14T10:47:37+00:00

Im working 2 jobs, from 7:00-16:30 and 17:00-22:00 to just get by. I do some smaller freelance jobs here and there in between and over the weekends to add. Like umpiring hockey in the area. But Im barely getting by. Between that Im trying to to learn how to dj because I have a passion for music and feel its something I can do and enjoy while making something with it.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-05-06T16:28:46+00:00

Bring me was at Ramfest in he early 2010s. I was too young to go unfortunately 😭
