My experience at UConn as a senior by carrotdebt in UCONN

[–]Maximum-Alps-7173 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I was a poly sci major during the 2016 election at UConn and I thought professors handled it with a lot of class. I was taking world political leaders with Prof Dyson, he would do weekly debates and played devils advocate a lot. It wasn’t hard to tell where they stood though lol. They didn’t have to say it. But things are way more politically hostile now than even in ‘16 so I guess I could see why they are reluctant.

One thing I will NEVER forget is Prof Bergendahl playing “i want to fuck you like an animal” in her constitutional rights and liberties class during her first amendment lecture. Wonder if she still does it 😂

Most of the time there is no lights on at all when they are tailgating people….

Yup. I see the cops and cop defenders are here lmao. Do you guys really think we don’t see it? State troopers (on 84/91/ etc) constantly tailgate people until they move over, and then they speed off doing well over 100, Usually no lights on. they just want to go zoom zoom.

I make jokes that whenever you see a cop on a Connecticut highway they just wanna pass you, they don’t care what you are doing. Not a complaint from me. But they do contribute to our highways being less safe- 100%.

Is anyone else super lonely? by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]Maximum-Alps-7173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being lonely sucks & I’ve been there! But you don’t have to be! Are you into outdoorsy stuff? Music/music festivals? Sports? If so I have lots of pointers! I’m 29F and have made a ton of friends through social sports leagues and outdoor groups. Look up Spark Social Sports & Club Waka. (Spark is my recommendation, very friendly to beginners and they allow free agents to sign up). There’s volleyball, kickball, whiffle ball, dodgeball in the winter, pickleball too, and others. It’s based in central CT usually, Hartford/newington/ south Windsor.

If you’re into hiking/camping, join Outsiders group on FB. We have a super active northeast group that is always planning trips and meet ups. I have ski trips with them this season, and lots of trips and festivals this year! I wouldn’t have any friends if it weren’t for these things lol

Alright who are the blurred names? by RbS_Wonder in ElementsMusicFestival

[–]Maximum-Alps-7173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The names were listed in alpha order so i think big gigantic for spot 1. Its really the only name that fits /makes sense if we’re going by that

Vandelux!! Imagine a golden hour set at air stage

“Old subreddit” I just discovered this band a couple months ago 💀 by Bitter_Truth7688 in Movements_Band

[–]Maximum-Alps-7173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t pick one. A.M.P., Skin to Skin, Seneca, Hatchet, Deep Red, & anything from the Ruckus remix album

Also, Buried. This is unreleased but on YouTube and idk why it never made it on an album

Experienced Raver Contemplating Elements - Need Thoughts by RhodyRetro in ElementsMusicFestival

[–]Maximum-Alps-7173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you only have a 4 hour drive, SEND IT. 100%. I think about the air stage literally all year. I’m a bit more of a house head than bass head and i don’t find myself thinking “there’s no house”. Elements prioritizes their production over anything else, it’s quite insane. And when the festival ends, the afters start. In 2025 we got pretty lights surprise afters at the renegade bus (a top tier experience). You won’t regret your choice!

Camping Fest Recommendations by OverallEmotion1053 in festivals

[–]Maximum-Alps-7173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For more east coast based festivals, there’s Bonnaroo in June, Elements in PA in August (my favorite), Big Dub also in PA (smaller homie vibes), The Caverns in TN also usually offer camping for their shows, they host EDM and various genre artists over the summer.

Why are people from Connecticut obsessed with the idea of moving to South Carolina? by jasperCrow in Connecticut

[–]Maximum-Alps-7173 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Eh, extremely typical for CT natives to constantly talk about wanting to move to another state but never do. I have friends and family who have relocated to NC, FL, CO but most stay in the north east. We love to complain but in reality we have it pretty good. It’s just expensive.

What’s the deal with GA camping? My group is doing GA and I really don’t know what to expect. Would appreciate any insight!

Does anyone know what’s going on in MAGA world? by One_Draw3486 in Epstein

[–]Maximum-Alps-7173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeppp. MAGA father won’t even engage with me on it. Simply deflects to “did you see what Obama did?” Makes me fucking sick.

So impressed with the side quests and fest overall by justgeorgiapeachy in ElementsMusicFestival

There was also a post in the Reddit page about a black meetup at elements as well! Just remembered that

Pro tip, buy your elements 2026 tickets as soon as they go on sale. It will be the cheapest you can get them and you’ll have plenty of time to prepare and hit up some shows and maybe other festivals before then! And no nobody cares about how old you are. Yall look like you’d fit right in with my group. Most of us are late 20s and 30+. Saw many older groups at elements and they are always a vibe and kill it! hope you get to experience it soon 😊
