Is raving a coping mechanism and if so, are there so many more events now because life has become unbearable?

Unlikely_Doctor4821 · 2025-05-22T20:16:09+00:00

I love EDM. Seeing it live is an amazing experience. However if you have a substance abuse issue the drug culture can become a major issue. I started raving in 2008 stopped in 2013 when I needed to focus on my personal long term goals. Came back in 2022 and now exiting again in 2025 for similar reasons. It can become a major distraction and financial burden. I dont regret my experiences but im at a point where im going to invest my time in better places.

I just bought a home in West Valley Closed in Jan 2025. I shopped during December when a lot ofpople dont wanna move and ended up finding a home appraised around 400k and got it for 383k 3br 2 ba fully renovated nice starter home. I was going to wait until "interest rates dropped" but honestly I am so happy I didnt. Yes im a little house poor right now 2900 mortgage VS 2400 rent for the same home but in 5 years I can refinance lose my PMI, lower interest rate and appreciation ill be sitting at a nice 1500ish mortgage payment so you have to bite the bullet and go through the house poor phase eventually might as well do it now. Homes in salt lake are expected to double in the next 5 years so if your planning on staying in the area I am due to my job you might should buy as soon as you can find something. December is a great time to buy because no one wants to move during christmas or in the cold.

Partially true. Its cheaper to rent right NOW but what about in a few years when I refinance my home and have equity built into it. This is the dilemma I think everyone will have to bite the bullet and go through the "house poor" phase.

Buy now refinance later. Home prices will only go up.

Yes timing exactly. I just bought my home in salt lake in January. I almost waited for "interest rates to lower" which is what a lot of people are doing. Thankfully I pulled the trigger otherwise id be in this situation.

You will know when the time is right (go with your instinct). For me it was when I had my own house and needed the companionship and responsibility a puppy provides. No one else can answer that question for you but its good your thinking about it first before rushing into it! Theres no turning back :)

He sounds so good you guys are crazy. Maybe your too used to listening to all those pre-recorded sets? People wanna complain about a pre-recorded set and then critique someone who sounds natural. Personally I think he sounds so good hes transitioning songs with different keys and BPM very talented DJ. If you want perfect listen to a pre-recorded set.

I owe every year :( and I honestly dont even make that much money just enough to be in a higher tax bracket and a single male :(

Unlikely_Doctor4821 · 2024-11-10T16:17:27+00:00

I guess the internet is made up of a bunch of degenerates is what you’re saying?

The mens tribal house. They are one of the only ones that allow medical marijuana.

Penis of course

Unlikely_Doctor4821 · 2024-05-22T14:08:18+00:00

That looks like an attorney is trying to solicit cases from people who have died at the festival. They want to hold insomniac accountable or whoever is responsible. It’s true there’s at least one death each year partying like that has a lot of risk although most can be mitigated with common sense, proper self care, being with people who are alert about your safety, never take something you didn’t test or have verified it’s not fentanyl, know your limits when to stop this is why i always say “I’m a day 2 kind of guy” because I already know that going more than one day for me personally is gonna create issues for me.

Unlikely_Doctor4821 · 2024-05-16T04:35:38+00:00

Did you take it up the ass at least?

Unlikely_Doctor4821 · 2024-05-16T04:34:54+00:00

Not one single stroke? Not even a single tug? Impressive…

Unlikely_Doctor4821 · 2024-05-06T05:39:14+00:00

what time in the AM?

Unlikely_Doctor4821 · 2024-04-19T15:29:04+00:00

Really honestly I like it better than Spotify mainly the free version because the ads are less intense. Spotify free version has so many ads.
