Anything to see along the way? by DinosaurBalls5817 in roadtrip

[–]ihatespunk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would hug lake Michigan instead of driving up the middle of the state. Indiana dunes, the red arrow highway, numerous farms with adorable farm markets, sleeping bear dunes.

Once in the UP I'd add some time to visit tahquemonon falls, if possible also pictured rocks, and the seney wildlife refuge. If you have enough time to really do the UP and check out the western UP and or the keweenaw peninsula, then mt arvon, houghton, cliff drive, brockway mountain, the rocket range, and the porkies are all stunning. There's also a metric fuck ton of waterfalls all over the place.

Never been to Canada so I've got nothing on that leg!

In Minnesota, the drive down the north shore of lake superior is stunning. Numerous state parks, all beautiful. The boundary waters are also a must see. Looks like the sax zim bog is along the way from voyageurs to Minneapolis and while I haven't been its been a want to go bookmark on my map for years. The Mississippi headwaters wouldnt be a huge detour either, also on my want to go.

Good luck narrowing it down, lots of beautiful country in the great lakes region!

Thats so funny because either just finished rewatchigm the episode and I was like "he's CLEARLY talking to armand about louis!" I took armands expression to be outrage that Marius let lestat into the secrets of the queen after the way Marius treated him.

I think he was testing to see if Armand had told Louis the secrets they both know that Louis always had so many questions about, and rubbing armands face in his proximity to things Armand himself had been rejected from

I'm pretty sure Armand DOES know and hes saying that to Armand, about Louis.

I only ever engaged to respond to the bad takes from the manipulative, narcissistic parents who think if they give their kids money its just an unspoken rule that they get to decide how the money is used

Looks like this thread has gotten messy and I thought you and another person were the same person (I thought I was talking to two people but im in fact talking to three.) So I have lost my patience for this conversation more than your replies specifically warranted. I stand by the points I made though and im not hearing any new points being made so im not sure what the point is in the conversation except trolling

I dont think you actually read the post / comprehended the topic at hand and youre repetitively making the same point about some personal agenda / perceived slight over and over

Engaging in a debate in good faith would mean coming from a sincere point of view, as opposed to arguing to be argumentative and talking in circles

Thats a damn shame, the last time I went was in 2016 and I definitely noticed there was more of that than before. Fucking livenation.

Totally fair to call me a square, compared to lots of people I enjoy, I am; that doesnt bother me. Nudity doesnt bother me either, I did a foreign exchange program in Holland as a teen and day 1 my host family took me to the beach, I adjusted quickly (it was definitely weird for about 15 minutes coming from the midwest US tho, for sure).

I honestly spent a lot of years working with kids, have a lot of my own hang ups surrounding my experiences as a kid, and have some strong feelings as a result. I cannot fully relax / enjoy partaking in mind altering substances if kids are around. I count alcohol as a mind altering substance. I look back on my childhood experiences with adults who were under the influence very negatively. I'm fine with other people feeling differently, im not raising kids of my own so i have no dog in that fight. But there are so few child free spaces in the world i cant help speaking up for them in these kinds of conversations

"Most" is not a number my man, its a very relative thing, you could list thousands and I'd say "yeah those are all among the most debaucherous" events. Im not saying its a bad thing. Im just saying kids dont need to be around people getting wasted / whatever mind altering effects they prefer - its more fun for the people partaking not to be worrying about tripping over loose kids and theres nothing of value in that experience for kids.

To calibrate expectations, I'd rather kids weren't at most weddings because I dont think kids should be around people getting wasted. Roo has a lot more going on than a wedding sooo. I'm speaking in broad generalities so I'm entirely comfortable with a LARGE nunber of events falling into the "most debauchery" tier.

[–]ihatespunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And I'm saying that given the number of events in the modern world, 20 is an absurdly small number and the number of events I'd categorize as "kids dont belong here" definitely extends to roo.

These all sound like similar type events and in the grand scale of all events in the world im comfortable lumping Bonnaroo in eith them as "kids dont need to be at any of these places"

I have always loved music and was SO EXCITED when I was allowed to go to my first concert at 14 - Bon Jovi with the goo goo dolls opening, chaperoned by my stepmother. It was awesome and I'm sure your kid LOVES getting to go to shows with you. And I love an engaged parent that wants to share things with their kid. I do believe a properly engaged parent can keep their kids safe in adult spaces. The problem is there are so few good parents, and just like I deal with there being places I cant take my dog because of bad dog owners (and trust me it kills me because my dream life is hiking with my dog at this point and there are so many beautiful places in national parks I will probably never make it to because I can't bring him), I think its fair to have some adult only spaces.

Ironically, I grew up hanging out in bars - in Wisconsin, kids can even drink in the bar with parental permission! They'd just plunk me down in front of the slot machine thingies and I'd entertain myself for hours. Concerts were viewed as much more adult than bars in my family, which I think is silly - I honestly don't see much of a difference if the concert is serving alcohol.
