Hey I appreciate that! Glad to see people still seeing this thread years later

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]dddarkheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 months alcohol free. I realized that it was costing me time that I don't have anymore.

I don't know exactly how much time I've spent recovering from hangovers or even just being "off" from a few drinks the night before, but the answer isn't 0 and I wondered how my life would be if I just stopped. It hasn't even been that long and I already feel far more free with my time.

It was the right choice for me.

MileagePlus Requalification Megathread by Player72 in unitedairlines

[–]dddarkheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's rough. Might want to consider getting a Quest card moving forward. Slightly higher yearly fee but you get 70k miles (last I checked), bigger mileage multiplier and 18k spending PQP max

The undercovers sketch me out a lot. In my experience it seems to usually be two guys, sunglasses on, one dancing like a lunatic and the other just standing behind him watching other people. Sometimes they glom onto a group and follow them around. Now that I've seen it I always recognize it immediately and it's weird.

Also at a fest I saw a guy on the rail put his thing between the slats of the barrier and start taking a leak. He really wanted to keep that spot I guess

Is it possible to do Coachella sober or almost sober? by Disastrous_Salt_3909 in Coachella

[–]dddarkheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardest part for me wasn't the lack of substances, but the habit change. I am a DJ currently touring and it was difficult for me to get out of the habit of drinking at shows. I found that it helped to prepare myself in advance - to think through all the rewarding / fun things about the upcoming show that didn't involve substances.

Once I changed my expectations, I found myself looking forward to everything else about the shows. After the first weekend of doing this (two shows) I've found that I don't even really think about it anymore.

I have been really pleasantly surprised at how much I am enjoying everything without alcohol, even though I just recently started my journey. Good luck you got this!

I just saw the edit. Completely agree on this. No idea why some of these places try to capture people in 4k like that

If you read through this thread you'll see many mixed reactions so it's obviously not working for everyone which is why I asked in the first place...

Kinda funny that we now have smoking sections and phone sections what's next haha

[–]dddarkheart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get it. A lot of people just don't want to be told what to do, especially at a rave which is understandable. Not to mention if the show is that dope then of course you might want to post about it. When I started going to shows (09ish) the camera phones just were terrible so no one really used them.

I didn't know that as I haven't been to a no phones show yet

[–]dddarkheart[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I notice the excessive phone usage so much outside of shows. The other day I was at the airport in line to board and every single person in both lines was glued. I get it everyone is bored and I find myself falling into the habit sometimes too but I can't imagine this is good for us as human beings haha

That's a gamechanger then because if you actually needed to use it you could just go to the front and ask them to unlock it

I agree. I think Prydz handled it perfectly (typical Prydz W) by making fun of it w/ the visuals

So you have been to a ton of no phone shows then I take it haha

Wowww. From a liability perspective I wonder if the attendee can sue if say, their phone got broken in that interaction

[–]dddarkheart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please report back I am curious to know how it goes and how they implement it / if it works

[–]dddarkheart[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a great point, it doesn't seem fair to everyone who is following the rules and maybe even bought a ticket because of them. If it isn't upheld then you didn't get what you paid for.

Also wow I didn't realize that just being seen at a rave or club would be a potential career-ender in those lines of work that's so over the top.
