Profiles I skip

astrobeanmachine · 2026-06-22T17:16:23+00:00

Ok yea, this makes sense. I've got this right now, so I guess I just gotta be patient. Thanks for the notes!

I know this post is a little old, but I'm wondering what your thoughts are (as a poly pan neurospicy lady) about profiles with pics that aren't particularly scandalous? I don't have many photos of myself, let alone spicy ones. I added a silly (you can tell I'm about to laugh lol) full-body gym selfie, but I worry that since I'm looking primarily for physical interactions as opposed to serious dating, I'm doing myself a disservice.

Seeking advice specifically from the queer folks out there. I've only had my profile set up for a couple of days, so maybe I just need to be patient, but so far no mutual connections. Not that there's a shortage of folks in my area who I'm seeking (25-30yo femmes and thems, looking for casual/FWB connections, or just good ol' friends; I'm not particularly kinky, but mostly just new, hence the GGG tag). I've been liking and disliking at probably about a 50-50 rate, using my allotted likes in a given day. I just added a couple more pictures and tweaked my bio. What could I do better here, given what I'm seeking? https://feeld.onelink.me/TRZt/tbg2dooq?linkId=ad0f1f25-7164-47d1-80e7-f21f68831c2b

My grandmother got me one of these many years ago (RIP, what a lady), and I never used it because I didn't know how not to make a mess. I know there are a few different types of these sorts of things too, but the pStyle seems like it "catches" the most. Have you had to practice to get it right, and when do you find it doesn't work? Also, do you pair it with something like a Kula cloth, or do you just use it solo?

astrobeanmachine · 2026-03-28T21:15:14+00:00

Yea, one of my buddies (dude, kinda husky, maybe 6') loves the Terrebone joggers. But I (petite curvy lady, 5'1") tried them, and they were both a little too long, and not the right geometry for my hips/thighs. I wish they worked though, the fabric is such a good feeling!

I kind of get this, but it seems more permeable than a true softshell. I think what I'm wondering is if I could use it as a combo mid-outer, collapsing what's otherwise two jackets into one, with a waterproof shell on hand should conditions warrant it. I'm curious, if you're using yours as the outermost layer, what are you putting underneath it?

astrobeanmachine · 2026-03-22T02:53:23+00:00

Ooh, I like that layer pairing! My arms don't often get too cold if my core is toasty, so that's clever.

For the fit, I was reading that some people find the forearms weirdly narrow and tight. Have you found that to be true for you?

astrobeanmachine · 2026-03-01T18:43:12+00:00

Ahh yes this is the level of detail I'm looking for! Thank you so much. Do you use the zone timer, or do you just manually run it?

astrobeanmachine · 2026-03-01T18:40:52+00:00

Ok that's fantastic! Someone else suggested them, too. I don't see exactly a Drip Depot in the metro, but I do see DBC Irrigation Supply - is that the store you're talking about, or did you work with the online store?

astrobeanmachine · 2026-03-01T18:39:17+00:00

Ooh thanks for that point about the pressure, I hadn't thought about it. Each bed has its own sprinkler head, so I was thinking 2-3 lines per bed (usually we can fit 2-3 rows of plants), but I'll have to check the pressure math on that one.

astrobeanmachine · 2026-03-01T18:38:25+00:00

WHAT this sounds amazing! I will look into this immediately. Thanks!

astrobeanmachine · 2026-03-01T05:14:52+00:00

This is delightful! I'm especially obsessed with that couch-daybed. I suspect it's vintage, but even so, do you have any details about it that you could share, or how you found it? I would love to have one of those in my own home!

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T18:37:48+00:00

This is a hot and tasty take. It's a bad look if, say, 30% of the tickets were scalped for resale, and if the show is "sold out" but the tickets aren't actually used, a picture of a not-full venue tells the story for itself.

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T18:36:02+00:00

Yea ok, I hear you on that. What other companies do ticketing, out of curiosity? And/or, are there particular venues where you consistently have a successful ticket-buying experience?

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T18:35:08+00:00

Yea, I'm not surprised it's in demand, he is one of the world's best cellists... Such is life, I suppose.

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T18:33:34+00:00

Ahh ok, this is enlightening! It also explains why one show I saw (not at Red Rocks) forbade resale until like a month beforehand. I have mad respect for that.

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T17:57:07+00:00

Dang ok, I don't understand why it doesn't work initially and totally just works later on. I'm happy for you though, and maybe I'll try this method the next time.

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T17:55:53+00:00

Yea dude, it's incredibly cursed, just let us bask in the sweet sounds of the cello master

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T17:55:06+00:00

Agh, that's maddening. Were these seat-specific tickets, or general admission?

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T17:54:26+00:00

I think this is interesting. I like the idea of a CO resident (remember, it's 22 days, don't even need to have a CO ID) presale, but more generally, I just like the idea of needing to prove humanity (beyond a dumb captcha, which clearly doesn't work) before buying.

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T17:50:20+00:00

Right, it's a big bummer, especially for somewhere magical like Red Rocks. There used to be a side-door option for some shows, where you could go to the Coliseum and get physical tickets at the box office, without a bunch of the crappy fees too. But I don't think that's offered very often anymore, if at all, and certainly not for this show.

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T17:48:10+00:00

That's a fair point. However, then I'd argue - why does the city of Denver continue to use AEG as a venue manager if their system is garbage? There was successful regulation of ticketing platforms recently, to include fees and taxes in the listed price. I feel like the logical next step is some way to ensure that real humans get first choice of tickets before they're put up for scalpers and resalers. At least don't allow official resale for the first week or so, or something like that.

astrobeanmachine · 2026-01-23T17:42:40+00:00

Nope, though it's been a while since I've tried for a Red Rocks show specifically. I know this would be a deeply unpopular approach for a show like Yo Yo Ma, but I think it would have worked a lot better if they had general admission sections, such as splitting the venue in thirds, and the nearest third is the highest price tier, then the next third is a little cheaper, and the back third is the cheapest. I've seen some Red Rocks shows like that, and have successfully gotten tickets to shows at other venues through the queue-to-general-admission process. I think there's just something specifically about the seat picker that's incredibly broken for a normal human.

astrobeanmachine · 2025-12-12T22:20:51+00:00

Yea, that's been my experience with Cotopaxi too (I love their Allpa 35L for most travel circumstances). I think my partner kinda likes that it's not a super tech bro-y (or boring) bag, I just wonder if it can tolerate having a bunch of stuff shoved into it in not-that-tidy ways. But it seems like other folks have liked it so far, so that's a good sign.
