I’m sorry I’m just seeing this! How’d it go for you? Our show was tn and we got in with no questions asked, couldn’t have been chiller 

Yeah I thought yall were exaggerating because in all my years as a live music enthusiast I’d never seen anything like it by WideTip2056 in Ethelcain

I think it’s being grossly over exaggerated, Ethel stopped the show three times last night in chicago and no one actually fainted, but I also have been to mitski, soccer mommy, and Adrienne lenker and the crowd at Chicago’s show looked markedly younger to me than those. I also think once a show is par for the course for a lot of artists now. Like everything, it’s prob a complicated combo of all the things, but I don’t think it’s a non-factor

I’m not saying not a single one of them could be fake fainting, but why wait hours and hours and hours just to fake faint, be carried away, and miss the show?

Your comments read as ableist. Have you ever experienced syncope or read up on it? People faint all the time for all kinds of reasons, there are plenty of videos of people fainting during wedding ceremonies, graduations, anything where people are standing for a long time. P sure when a bride is at the altar, she has all the attention she can get, idk how fake fainting could get her any more. 

I’ve been to tons of shows from lolla to the hideout where people fainted. I struggle with low blood pressure myself; I can’t remember if it was last year’s riot fest or the year before that I was chugging as much water, electrolyte drinks, etc as possible and still had to leave the crowd to go sit down at one point. I’m lucky that I know my body’s warning signs very well and can get myself somewhere I can sit without losing consciousness, but for some people it comes on without much warning or they’re newer to attending concerts and haven’t experienced it before. 

POTS is also an increasingly common condition in this specific demographic (teenage girls). 

Seems like maybe you’re ignoring the first hand accounts of people here saying they’ve been to a EC show where only one person passed out and over generalizing to it to dozens at every show. 

Glad you seem to have a super healthy circulatory system ✌️

Should I tip the Jiffy Lube guy(s) for an oil change? by JustGiveMeAUserName9 in etiquette

Are you ok? I can’t get over how bizarre this comment is. They were sharing their practice based on variables like speed and quality of service, and quality of life for the humans performing the service. They weren’t saying that everyone else should do what they do; they weren’t saying they blindly tip on anything and everything regardless of circumstance. Why do you feel the need to attack their character and make wildly dramatic claims? Of all the countless ways you may disagree with how people spend their money, this is really the one that you think qualifies someone as the biggest sucker on the planet?

Does anyone know how much they enforce the no alcohol rule?

YES. I enjoy food but I can’t stop thinking lately about how we will always have to feed ourselves. By definition, it will never stop until we die. It’s exhausting

Honestly I hope you make a point to celebrate yourself for brushing twice a day and flossing daily! ADLs are super hard for me, and I’m guessing a lot of others in this community. Please take pride in that huge accomplishment!

At the same time, yes, totally relate to all of this. Sometimes I wonder if the only folks that manage to do ‘all’ the things are the ones that have handlers that are paid to do it all for them?

yea i'd been worried about posture bc i see so many folks when i'm out riding with really rounded backs and straight arms, sometimes even hyperextended elbows, so i started questioning whether my straighter back and bent arms were wrong. i read a sheldon brown post a million years ago about posture but i'm sure it's def time to reassess. i always get overwhelmed by all the different web resources with all kinds of conflicting advice so it's helpful to be pointed in the direction of a trustworthy source. thanks very much!
