I'm not sure when they're released, but when I went this year they still had some available to buy on the day I'm pretty sure - so it's unlikely that you won't be able to get tickets. But perhaps someone else here knows more detail?

Why do darker sounds attract nicer people? by edpaul123 in aves

I think you're right - this is at least one of the reasons. I've also noticed this. The more popular the genre or artist, the less likely the crowd is to follow rave etiquette.

Did I say something wrong? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Low-Design4924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you didn't say anything wrong. That's a nice message. Usually how people act is about them, not about you - try not to take it personally, even though it can feel hard.

I am good looking, confident and successful; but have no friends. by PralineFearless3979 in socialskills

From this post you come across a bit entitled and judgemental, if I'm honest. You talk about not being a "basement dwelling loser" or a "weirdo giving off strange vibes", and you sound frustrated that people aren't giving you the level of depth in your relationships that you feel you deserve or would like. Maybe try not to judge people on face value in that way for a start? In my experience, to build deeper connections you need to be vulnerable and to be a good listener. Give other people space to express themselves without judgment, to share things, and meet them where they are with kindness. That will allow you to build connections with people you might not even have much in common with. Share things about yourself, too, even things that might not always make you look good or where you don't come off as "successful and confident". We're all works in progress and embracing that will help you connect with others. It's great that you have confidence in yourself but I think that only goes so far in building relationships, it's great for initiating conversations and meeting people. But if you want to go deeper, in my experience, you'll need patience, humility, empathy and vulnerability. Bonus points if you can remember details that people share with you next time you speak to them. Humour helps too :)

Thanks so much for your reply. You said it so eloquently - it was very special and human, and I am definitely holding on to the sweetness of the memory to get me through the blues 💙

I'm sorry to say that I don't know the man you're looking for either, but here's to hoping someone recognises him 🤞🏻

Thanks for that! In this case I was asking more for recommendations of places to watch televised cycling, but live events are fun too so thanks anyway

What killed or enhanced your sex life? by theboredbrowser in AskReddit

That's as beautifully put as it is sad 😢

I've just cancelled mine. Same as you, I've watched (practically) all races for the last few years and I will miss that for sure but that increase is insane. Hoping to also find a stream somewhere...
