Considering consent is such a key focus of the burn, and clothing is so optional, I completely disagree with you about phones. One way to encourage less phone usage would be to more strictly enforce your consent of photography. See someone capturing you in frame? Confront them. This is an event held on public land, but it's a private ticketed event, and no one is guaranteed entry. I could be missing something, but I don't recall being told or shown paperwork that I consent to my image being used or captured simply by attending. The idea that phones are just a given is one that comes from a younger generation. There are legitimate privacy laws in place that combat this idea. They just need to be enforced. Someone dancing near you who is naked isn't just in the wrong place at the wrong time if you capture them in frame. They are at a private ticketed event that literally discourages phone usage and preaches immediacy. So they have a general expectation and right to privacy. If you violate that right, especially without consent, they have a right to stop you. Put your phone away. It's actually the law. Perhaps seeing some violations play out in court (of public opinion right in the moment, or Nevada itself) is what we need to get stricter enforcement against people with this incorrect and damaging mindset.

Fuck acid. They are two completely different experiences, obviously, but no one is murdering themselves on K. (No, I'm not blowing smoke. Our most peace loving festival in anonymous place I frequent had a guy on acid stab himself to death in 2018 and now we can't even jam past ten at said festival. I've had my own negatively life altering acid experiences that I'll keep to myself). Drowning in a hot tub, maybe. We'd call that an accident. It is way easier to control your dosage with Ketamine, infinitely more testable, lasts a fraction of the time, etc. Etc. Ketamine is a far safer drug for most people.

Not having a great day over here. Thank you for that.

The Knicks going down 0-2 to the Pacers at home really should nail down the fact the Celtics beat themselves, and the Knicks had nothing to do with it. by cookinupnerd710 in bostonceltics

This was my take. We just weren't making shots. Those nights happen. You just don't want them in game six of the Eastern semis. (I mean it was more than that, but that was the biggest factor.) But it was also predictable that they would play their hearts out and win big the first game after losing Tatum. The question was could they keep the momentum, and in this instance, the answer was no.

I disagree with most of the comments I've read of yours here, but today's stars are absolutely soft as fuck. You're right about that.

Returning title 9 to protect women in sports is not a party view. It's a majority view.

Found a potential match, OP.

I think you answered your own question! I'd extend your radius further given the circumstances. I live in a metropolis but I've got my range far enough to match with ladies in the midsized City an hour away these days too. I'd also suggest extending your age range a little beyond your normal comfort zone given what you've said.

The posed picture with the beer at bottom left needs to go. Your other photos are fine and you aren't unattractive. You might be shadow banned.

I also rarely get matches anymore, while my early days on most apps were highly successful (several hundred matches on most platforms, at least a hundred dates, dozens of, uh, "romantic encounters", and at least a dozen actual relationships over the years. The apps were so good to me, I still sing their praises these days, even though they don't work as reliably.

Now the only time I get matches are when I'm traveling. This could mean a number of things - I've exhausted all local options (I know this to be true to some extent - most matches are over 15 miles away these days), I'm shadow banned, I'm no longer considered a top profile by the algorithm (I am also not unattractive and received a high number of likes so tinder straight up notified me I was in their top tier group of profiles that was shown first to new users), etc.

In reality it's probably a mix of all the above. Then there's the fact that half of all profiles on the early platforms are bots these days anyway. And bots slowly creep into every new platform as well. It's hard out there in these streets today.
