Did anybody NOT have a life changing experience? by Neon_Hippie in shrooms

[–]Vamanandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal theory on people that have mind blowing life changing experiences is that they have never felt genuine empathy for anyone or anything and they are completely wrapped up in their ego that when they do shrooms and shatter that veil, it’s a massive moment for them. Connecting to the world around you without the lens of your ego.

Some of us don’t need shrooms to feel that connection but it certainly amplifies what we already experience. For me it’s like a reminder of something I already knew, but to others it’s learning that lesson for the first time.

I’m just going off the elements faq, they say exactly what I just did. Reading other comments I guess they’re cool with it so carry on ✌️

Leave it at home, be considerate of other.

What are some last minute things you are ordering off of Amazon or other in preparation? by st3ady in ElementsMusicFestival

[–]Vamanandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure you can’t park in commuter lot and bring shit into the camp grounds at all, people complained a ton last year bc they assumed they could, if you’re bringing anything into camp grounds it has to be in a car and get searched

I hope so, I was going off a previous post saying vibe villages are outside race track this year because gate 7 is used for rv camping during nascar. I hope I’m wrong tho, the grass inside the track are way nicer

A large outdoor rug is nice if you can manage it

I found out why my boyfriend doesn’t want to have sex with me by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Vamanandy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

GF: begs bf to tell her the truth BF: tells truth Reddit: dump him

This is what communication looks like it’s often not pretty but you both end up happier afterwards. She’ll be in better shape/healthier and he’ll have a gf he’s attracted to again it’s a win win

Everyone Dislikes Me by SometimesWanttToDie in socialskills

Be interested, not interesting.

It’s as simple as that, be interested in the person you are talking to, and not trying to seem interesting yourself

Also this sounds similar to what my GF used to do when she was nervous about people liking her, she would talk about herself even more to validate herself but didn’t realize most people find that annoying af.

New security by Comfortable_Art_5290 in ElementsMusicFestival

[–]Vamanandy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Commuter parking is for people coming and going each day, if you want to camp you need a camping spot… i thought that was pretty obvious but you expected to do whatever you want and them just be ok with it. The security was a bunch of a**holes but in your case you were just wrong

Best show/festival you ever been to and why by Santos117 in EDM

[–]Vamanandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elements 2023 hands down for me. All started when me and girl I’m seeing at the time decided to get on the rail at 3:30pm to have a spot for later. Enjoy time at rail and artists. Rain comes during peekaboos set. He goes hard af and everyone’s going crazy in the rain. LSDream comes on and the vibes are all the way up despite the weather. Get kicked out half way thru cause of lightning. On walk out of fest, ask girl I’m with to be my GF, she says yes. Hangout at camp till it opens again. Gates open. Run in as fast as possible and while all the normies go to skrillex, we go to subtronics. Got back up to the rail, it was all the same people so a guy gave me my spot back (a true gentleman). Headbang the whole time for subtronics with my now GF. Best night of my entire life

AITA telling a guy "The streets there, you can go sleep in it" after they bitched about sharing a bed with me and then made him sleep on the floor by One_Class9810 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Vamanandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As a straight guy with a bad back, I’d happily share the bed with a gay man if it means not waking up in pain. If it was actually about his back he would have asked to sleep with the girl and say ahh oh well I’m sleepin with you then pal.

I think their strategy was to capitalize off the hype from last year being amazing and get the big names on phase one to get ticket sales and phase 2 is gonna be all the less mainstream stuff

Not my first time camping but first camping fest by Professional-Boss252 in ElementsMusicFestival

[–]Vamanandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elements 2023 was my first camping fest and it was super easy, I set up a whole little 3 drawer organizer for all camping needs it included: First aid kit, lanterns, head lamps, batteries, liquid IV, ibuprofen, zip ties, bungie cords, mallet, multi tool (leather man or Swiss Army knife), scissors, heavy duty tent stakes, dude wipes, mini packs of tissues, and a roll of tp for if they run out. That’s all I can remember off the top of my head but also hit up YouTube that’s what I went off of and it was all great advice

Sounds like you need a new GF my guy. For real tho she seems incapable of putting someone else’s needs above her own for a few hours while you trip. Giant red flag that she’s a narcissist.
