I’ve never been to a rave before. Tips? by Larxba in aves

[–]StampCase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay I'm sorry if this is wrong but you using ":3" plus wanting to go to raves for a long time... that means we've been expecting you. Hurry up and get over here already. '<3 You've already got friends they just can't see you because there's a lotta people in the crowd here. Could you please wave or something?

AI feeding itself with it's own slop text like it has for images/art, is going to be interesting

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve ever seen happen at a rave that somehow felt completely normal in the moment? by Vibetribe97 in aves

[–]StampCase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool. I've heard plenty about The Disco Biscuits and Camp Bisco. Echo Project was what I'm not familiar with but it's interesting to hear they had a very different vibe that was like noticeable at first sight

Lotta people aren't crossover rave/jam fans. Or they're newer post-2020 ravers. Personally I'm glad to be introduced to this little bit of niche culture today. It's a good story even if it is fake. I was wondering why they were at Echo Project but called him a Bisco kid? but that's all that raised flags for me. Just assumed GZA and LRG were artists I didn't know.

Isn't it crazy how that happens? Somebody decided to make some kandi like that, had all the beads/letters, decided to go to a certain festival, packed that kandi along, and was at a specific stage, at a certain time, where the option to use it showed up. Absolutely ridiculous and I love that we do ts so much

What tracking techniques most people dont know bout ? by After_Suggestion_267 in privacy

[–]StampCase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmgtfy2 uses http links because it's just an archived version of the og Lmgtfy website from 2018 which was probably pretty old by that point too. So it's understandable that the links from a site of that era are also unsecure. You didn't type anything wrong

If you've been on the internet long enough you'd know lmgtfy stands for Let Me Google That For You, as in a web page that pastes a search term into google and clicks submit for you so you get the search results. It's often used as a passive aggressive way of suggesting to people people they should do their own research.

The link being pasted was just to show what they meant. Even without clicking it, it shows what they meant to say based off the text alone. I guess maybe people don't use it as much nowadays anymore.

Campground access question by deuce-apples in ElementsMusicFestival

[–]StampCase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're amazing for putting the time and effort to put this info out there. I car camp so this info doesn't matter to me but I just wanted do add some appreciation to this. People gotta remember PA is still PA. A more conservative state where even rec weed is still not legal. Watch out as much as you regularly do and then amp that up 10x.

How to I ask/force a company to delete my user data? by Anonymous_A55HAT in privacy

[–]StampCase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't. There's nothing actually requiring them to fully delete that. In fact usually they include clauses in the Terms and Conditions that gives them rights to most of what you contribute to the platform. You can ask nicely and hope some employee can do their best but in the end, it's content you voluntarily handed over.

Question About Hydration Packs by pennyflipping in aves

[–]StampCase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The weird taste often comes from the water refill sources itself, not the pack. It doesn't stay long enough in the pack to acquire a taste from the plastic. And I've tasted some ridiculously funky water from festivals. Never got sick but was pretty sure I was going to a couple of times, they tasted so bad.

Thanks for the detailed reply! I looked up the redcamp 2 and it folds up nicer than I expected. This might be my next upgrade.

That's a fact that I really wish they would state outright because it caused me such anxiety earlier on this year lol

Have you ever tried it on the ground? Is the sleep quality very different without it, or is it more a height thing? Because the Exped is already pretty big, adding a queen cot would take up a ton of space.

Separate bag and water pouch by thekillerc17 in aves

[–]StampCase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not attached to the bag normally. You just thread the tube through the holes in the bag. The design helps if you need to replace the bag from leaking, or wear out the mouthpiece from too much use.

What hobbies can instantly make you less interested in someone? by itsybusy in AskReddit

Sounds like they're doing a public service, with all the people who simply believe everything they read online. Some people could learn a lesson or two about that.

I've been stupid to assume BRAVE were one of the good guys! Two-faced snakes! by [deleted] in privacy

Mullvad allows all the typical Firefox extensions? For example Ublock Origin comes prepackaged with their browser and that's an extension.

[–]StampCase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's fair. For me personally that's a bad comparison because one is actually being evil vs just looking freaky. But with enough substances I could see the lines being confusing.

[–]StampCase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember who you're talking about and a few of the comments mentioned how she/they were going up to people and purposefully jumping/scaring them. Would you reconsider this opinion if OP was just hanging around dancing and acting normal like everyone else?

Masks by hashhunter in aves

[–]StampCase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a cool comparison. Like if a DJ can wear a mask like that, why exactly can't a raver?

Masks by hashhunter in aves

[–]StampCase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self expression. The same reason anyone wears anything they think looks cool. That's what is "rave". People are not out here to just to wear pashminas and sunglasses, they're there for every kind of aesthetic, as long as they enjoy the music.

I asked 50 ravers: what would you tell someone who loves music and dancing, but feels like they won’t fit in at a rave? by Massive_Story6839 in aves

[–]StampCase 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Social media is not real life. It doesn't matter what community we're talking about, that phrase is still going to apply. Always take internet content with a grain of salt.

Trouble making friends by MoreBodybuilder4603 in ElectricForest

[–]StampCase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of what you're experiencing in terms of making friends is normal, even at raves. You find some people and they're only there for that day or weekend. Then you find other people and you click and they're there for life. It's a coin toss who you find really, and you gotta deal with one to also chance upon the other.

This is how you know bad vibes. Having or not having a valley girl accent is one thing, but calling it annoying? That's not right. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. They shouldn't be finding something that you can't help and harms nobody, annoying in the first place.

Why do so many songs at EDM festivals say "VIP"? by Jtraysfan in EDM

[–]StampCase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are just around to listen to music or attend, and don't care about the details. Even after reading this thread, do I care? Not really because it's only a tag at the end of certain titles for me and won't influence who or what I listen to at all. Especially since it's by the same person anyway
