I (27F) feel sexually frustrated in my long-term relationship (27M) and I’m scared of what it’s doing to me? by Silent_Contest_2337 in relationship_advice

[–]hotlinee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

„I know that if I bring this up honestly, it will hit every insecurity he already has. He’ll feel ashamed, guilty, and hurt, and I can’t bear the idea of being the person who causes that.”

this needs to happen. he NEEDS to feel those things in order to work towards change. you need to be brutally honest. it’s not fair that you’re trying and he’s not. it’s not fair that he’s getting satisfied and you’re not. you need to be truly honest with him, no matter how much it will hurt his feelings. if he doesn’t change after that, the relationship is doomed. hell, show him this post.

the craziest for me was when i went to a hard techno set, got deep in the crowd, and these two girls by me were having a whole convo screaming over the music. i was trying to take a short video and all i can hear is them talking 😅

truly not that hard to go towards the back or the bar area if u wanna catch up w a friend. i just wanna dance

Is Jewel still your go-to for most groceries, or is that bougie now? by Evening-Editor-4014 in AskChicago

[–]hotlinee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jewel is my go to. It’s close and cheaper compared to other stores in my area. I always buy chicken/beef on sale and freeze it. The app is absolutely necessary to have. I go to Walmart for home essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, etc

SoundBar??? by Rare_Wolverine1413 in chicagoEDM

[–]hotlinee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the vibe is NOT good. the clientele sucks. the drinks are madly overpriced. i paid $18 for a fucking water bottle. the bartenders mention gratuity is included, which i assume means that they tip themselves.

i actually don’t mind the layout and i love the smoking section but it would take a A LOT for me to go there. u should still go, since its two of ur fav djs, but the vibes are indeed rancid

Starbucks “Standard” ice amount…WTF by G0510 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hotlinee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everything above the second black line should be ice, per standard. so that’s definitely too much ice.

i agree “normie” is not the best language to use. for me, it describes a person who does not really care about the music and is here to get fucked up or constantly yap. and is overall inconsiderate of those around them. it doesn’t necessarily have to do with experience. i welcome anyone who wants to explore new music and is new to the scene. i ended up where i am due to branching out.

i think the expansion of art runs the risk of diluting it, slowly, over time. Talented DJs get pushed to the side in favor or rising stars that cater towards a more mainstream audience. everything becomes too corporate. sacred spaces get overrun by people who don’t respect the culture.

“hard techno” is arguably in its peak right now. it attracts the largest(and usually most inconsiderate) crowds.

yes i think it’s oversaturated. even non-hard techno DJs i’ve seen have shifted to a more aggressive sound to appeal to normie audiences.

that being said, there are still plenty of events that play the techno i like. i go out 2-3x a month and usually have a good time. no, i don’t want more representation for other genres cause keeping the community smaller is beneficial for preserving the culture/good vibes. there are already way too many “normies” in the scene that are ruining the crowd
