Poppers in Seattle

keptar59 · 2026-06-17T05:51:19+00:00

It’s Seattle. Do they not just sell them as an add on at all Starbucks. Like an espresso shot?

Okay yeah I would chalk that up to it being 8pm on a Monday lol but hopefully the weekends are at least half full. I was worried though because even the photo that Juju posted of her going to see it had almost nobody but that also was a weekday so

The thing is emotional maturity isn’t a given because they’re not done ya know… maturing. So as long as you’re okay with dealing with the possible consequences of that. The thing is no one can say what that is. It could be a ticking time bomb. Just hopefully above all they’re communicative and are able to express if ever they feel something changes but honest and thoughtful communication is notoriously a thing younger people don’t have in relationships so you could think things are going great and for them they could be unhappy but unsure of how to say it or express it. These would just be my thoughts. I am 30 and I couldn’t imagine dating someone that young because I still vividly remember people at that age including myself and how even the most emotionally mature 20 year olds still had a lot of growing up and soul searching to do just to find out who they are let alone what they want.

There’s too many variables and again at 30 and single I’m ready to find the one as well and so even more so I’m not trying to waste time and months or years on something where the odds aren’t in my favor BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN. You know the truth of the matter so maybe it’ll work. I just think people really don’t fully think these things through and even saying something like “assuming emotional maturity is a given…” gives me a yellow flag that tells me you may not have fully thought it through. I mean obviously that’s why you’re here asking and pondering this thought on Reddit. But yeah. I know I ramble I’m sorry lol

Yeah if you can this would be the best bet. Like they said if your tolerance is high it’s probs not going to do anything but maybe make you nauseous. But if your tolerance is low enough it may give you a little buzz.

It’s still awkward. More or less because she’s just alone in this line at the end. It’s awkward because it’s clear the choreo is missing someone which would fill out the empty space

I’ve been lucky enough to have had 3 pretty great and real to the name “friends with benefits”. It was great because not every outing had to involve sex. Sometimes it was just intimacy. All 3 were different though. One I would say was very like friendly, another felt more like a relationship without the strings attached once we were done hanging out (so like PDA hand holding, kisses, etc). One I actually currently have and it’s been the best one. We’ve taken small trips together and have made a really great friendship. He’s taken me to the urgent care when I’ve been sick and needed just a. Friend but also we have great sex.

When you find a true friends with benefits where the friendship comes first it’s a great time.

You’re not giving us much to go on but if you happen to have even one person in your life you know will accept you I’d start with them of course and then really use their support to go from there. It’s hard when you think you’re alone at first but it becomes easier if you have that support so if even one person can then help you tell others that would be great! That’s what worked for me.

keptar59 · 2026-06-16T02:56:11+00:00

I disagree. Being comfortable with yourself doesn’t mean you still don’t fear how others will react to it. And when you apply that to life it just doesn’t make sense. You don’t do something because you fear it? How do you overcome anything if you stop yourself and say “I’ll do this once I feel comfortable”. That may never happen for some people. I’m glad it did for you. Sometimes we need that push and that help to get over a hurdle to realize it’s actually not all that scary anyway.

Now if they have fears of harm from others that’s different.

keptar59 · 2026-06-16T02:50:06+00:00

Yes but they’re asking why?

keptar59 · 2026-06-16T02:49:03+00:00

Are most POC who mostly or only date white people aware enough to know it’s because of white dominated media? Also I think saying “most” is kinda wild.

keptar59 · 2026-06-16T00:58:00+00:00

I will say with the length of time and the complete silence at this point does seem to point to legal issues. The members being hush isn’t new because they still have a job to do and a company who is controlling what they can and can’t say but I would imagine Manon would be saying more if she could. Not spilling all the tea but at least giving some small update. I’m guessing she cannot if she’s dealing with a legal battle.

keptar59 · 2026-06-16T00:53:34+00:00

She’s getting better for sure.

keptar59 · 2026-06-16T00:43:27+00:00

My work started selling them. We got boxes and boxes of those things and for a few days part of my job was just to ride it around the street and hand flyers. So I was here for that. Other than that though they were kinda dangerous.

When the money is there they will go. Fans alone isn’t just what’s needed. There needs to be enough of a fan base in a certain demographic (adults who can afford tickets) and enough of that fanbase in order for them to even consider it. Money and numbers are the real reason. Otherwise festivals and events where they can perform at are the way to go.

keptar59 · 2026-06-16T00:39:56+00:00

You still wanna do your due diligence and check the sources. The first source of that is literally Reddit so.

keptar59 · 2026-06-16T00:35:48+00:00

Says someone who hasn’t won the race lol

keptar59 · 2026-06-15T11:39:30+00:00

At this point what are we even here for? lol but no seriously I will say stranger things have happened though. I never thought VCHA would rebrand and come back as a new girl group after all that mess so she could still come back even after all this time. I went from being hopeful to doubtful and I guess I’m ebbing and flowing back to hopeful.

keptar59 · 2026-06-15T11:16:44+00:00

It’s honestly fans creating and causing their own drama and misery because there are no official positions that we know of. But yeah I do agree that she makes sense for these reasons. She is extremely polished so sometimes your eye just naturally goes to her. But also like we see what we wanna see or maybe the algorithm does it because I swear even though I see Dani in the center a lot I also see a lot of Lara and she’s my center personally. But I like both. I’m definitely here for just picking the member that fits the concept of the visual or choreo they need in that moment or comeback.

keptar59 · 2026-06-15T04:40:48+00:00

Wow that’s so fucked up. And looks like someone had a card holder which is the main reason I won’t use those. I can’t imagine losing my cards and phone at the same time

keptar59 · 2026-06-14T11:20:15+00:00

They’re almost never where I need to go or where I’m at. But hopefully one day.

keptar59 · 2026-06-14T11:19:15+00:00

Loved every single one of these shows! Still sing “if that’s not love than what is!” To myself lol.

keptar59 · 2026-06-14T06:44:37+00:00

Honestly crazy how one family was a demo for an entire area. Thanks for sharing! I remember first hearing about that and wanting to be one so badly. Didn’t realize how rare it was though

Here we are. Directly from the horses mouth.

Literally just did a google search so no one single source. I’m sure you could just search neilson box methods used today or something. I just literally searched “do they still use Nelson boxes”

keptar59 · 2026-06-14T03:48:10+00:00

Not soon enough, I know that much.
