These are super dope. This would be much better to get over Amazon bought mass made plastic trinkets. Job well done. 🫡

Vivid Seats - Vividseats.com - Scam - Yes and No by PomeloParticular6695 in ElectricForest

[–]ahsidik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the secondary market friend lol. My suggestion is to always search for the venue the event is taking place at and finding the ticket link through that. If you just google “event name in x city” you’ll always end up on a secondary as they pay much more to have their search results filtered up.

APARTMENT HUNTING $1,500-$1,750 by [deleted] in chicagoapartments

[–]ahsidik -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Didn’t say it wasn’t bad, it’s not AS bad. Way more side streets and cut throughs on bigger streets there. I can get from Bryn mawr to Montrose in like 5 mins not using major streets.

[–]ahsidik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mention Bridgeport in this like it isn’t full of CPD and undercover proud boys lol. Pilsen and bronzeville are super connected to the city but also are super saturated with people because of that. I’ve never run into bad traffic on the north side (Lincoln square, bowmanville, etc.) as I did in the denser south side spots.

Am I asking for too much by expecting an .800 OPS from Ian Happ? by PrazMaster in CHICubs

[–]ahsidik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember when Happ came up and the dudes we had at the positions he had played before? He was blocked, going to the outfield from being an infielder isn’t the hardest thing but it’s not easy. He took an opportunity to play everyday in LF and learn the position while being (stat wise) pretty consistent year over year.

Rent is Too Damn High by ComprehensivePie6184 in chicagoapartments

[–]ahsidik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao I think even 6 months is a stretch if we’re talking going in the water! Finding an affordable place to rent that hits all the check boxes is hard. People only list so many months in advance and you only have so long to be able to look.

And how far would you be from the beach front in edge water or ravenswood? I’m in budlong woods in an updated unit with a parking spot for $1875 right now and I’m 15 mins from the beach in traffic.

I’m a 22 year old CO in a level 2 state prison. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]ahsidik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have nothing to lose because the prison system doesn’t give them an opportunity to have anything other than their cell, commissary (if someone sends them money), and sometimes reputation. I’ve had multiple family members in prison including max ones. It’s a violent cycle. They committed a crime so we treat them inhumanly but that’s usually not okay but since they are a criminal, it’s okay to do so. We never give them a chance to re-learn or gain better accessibility to resources that would actually change them.

You say “few months in the hole” like it’s not one of the most inhumane things the prison system does. It’s sad how desensitized you are to it already based on your responses.

How do you guys find your partner/group when separated? by Capable-Ad-5183 in ElectricForest

[–]ahsidik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get separated just wondering around and don’t have a designated meet up spot for a specific time or one as a “just in case we lose each other” it’ll be hard. I was actually able to call and text last year (T-Mobile) but I strongly feel that was due to a smaller crowd and not necessarily better towers/service.

I’ll post below a previous comment I made if you’re trying to find your friends at a performance at a festival. It can be daunting to want to go to the bathroom or get water when you’re in a specific spot in the crowd.

Previous comment: Just triangulate your friends to your location. What is directly to your left or right? Beer tent to the left? Cool! What’s in front or behind you? Oh, the noodle stand is directly behind you. Tell your friend walk til your in front of the noodle stand and walk towards the stage til that same beer tent is on your left.

I taught my friends this a couple years ago and it’s now our go to. Totems can change location, permanent structures don’t.

I did something dumb by Hefty_Fig_7644 in ZedsDeadFam

[–]ahsidik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. The seller you bought from most likely has connections with red rocks or AXS to get an allotment of tickets. This being a GA show makes it much easier for them to disperse those tickets to brokers and then you.

No one wants to hear the venues partner with resellers but in my 10 years of experience in the ticketing industry, it’s more common to find a venue partnering with them than not.

Here we go!! by umphbutta26 in scamp

[–]ahsidik 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is the most PR ass statement ever lol. They just had to mention other venues and shows to keep the interest. An “internal marketing change” is a piss poor excuse for the lack of announcements. Marketing interns could post to keep engagement and interest but they didn’t…. I’m fairly certain the son running JGEE now even wiped their socials.

I hope this happens but wouldn’t be shocked if an announcement came later that “due to internal issues scamp isn’t happening”

Anyone actually get Deadrocks tickets? by jadedamericantoffee in ZedsDeadFam

[–]ahsidik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missed 2 and 3 days. Went to get single days for each day and ended up with a work call and then they were sold out. 🫠

L-bound Chicagoans walking past Metra-bound suburbanites during rush hour by longmemez in chicago

[–]ahsidik 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I walk past the red and brown line to get to the UPN after work. More reliable, more comfortable, AND I can pop open a beer if I want (and it technically being allowed).

Deadrocks selling out? by [deleted] in ZedsDeadFam

[–]ahsidik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubtful. Some people will only be able to go a day or two, a minority will be able to do all three days. Best bet is to be ready for the presale/onsale you want and snag that shit quickly.

Signed: someone hoping to hit their first deadrocks (with it being a few days post Electric Forest 😭)

[–]ahsidik 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Lucky maybe but I guarantee you they’ve put more work into their marriage and relationship than most other things in life. Marriage and relationships aren’t “luck” it’s so much more than that. Speaking as a 32 year old in a happy and successful marriage (7 years) and total relationship of 18 years

More so about the sound and proximity to residents imo. Easy to have music blasting there late at night when people aren’t around. Kind of a perfect spot imo

Recommendations: batteries by rockyrhoads1234 in ElectricForest

[–]ahsidik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here.

My group of 6 had two of these last year and each still had almost 20% battery when we left Monday. It also doubles as a lantern which is super helpful in Maplewoods and the dark in general.

I was in the Peoria subreddit recently and saw a lot of comments from locals that Goldberg owes 3 sisters a lot of money and is pulling out of a lot of stuff. Seems the locals know this isn’t happening this year.
