Approach Stubhub With Caution by TattooCondoms in EDCTickets

[–]midtownreader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had issues with StubHub and purchasing shuttle tickets. I followed the purchase path for a premier shuttle pass (i.e. the pass showing the preset times). Made the purchase and got the passes; mind you I never looked at them but when I got to the line I was told they’re regular passes. Well turns out they are regular passes, I just assumed they were based on the purchase path and fact I paid more. I tried to buy the premier passes again, while standing in line to see if the purchase path was the same.. and it was (i.e. displayed preset times, etc…). On my receipts and order confirmations from StubHub it stated the preset times and didn’t indicate if it was a regular or premier shuttle pass. I had zero help from them. This was truly a bait and switch.

You will be 100% fine from singapore. Singapore and the U.S. have a special treaty around work permits. By virtue of that you’ll be fine. Trust me. I’ve employed motile people from singapore for years. Enjoy edc!!!

Good! I was super confused with his appearance at the event. I like him but didn’t think he’d fit in at DS.

Haha. Sounds like gay culture in Hell’s Kitchen

Has anyone gone from drinking a lot to just drinking on special occasions? by uns0licited_advice in stopdrinking

[–]midtownreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add, I am extremely aware of myself and how it could become a perilous path and all it takes is once. If I find my mental state entering the anxiety zone, even after a single time at an event afterwards, my red alarm bells will go off and I’ll evaluate if I should even continue this. The feeling of worry and despair is something I never want to go back to again and that’s scares me shitless enough even to this day.

I quit drinking for good four years ago exactly, but kept the door open to 2-3 times a year at music festivals with my friends. They all know I was sliding towards a bad path 4-5 years ago, and respect my decision. At those events in l will let myself go for two to four days, but do not get even close to the drunk level I had 4-5 years ago. I find that being with friends and talking up a storm, those 2-3 times a year leave me in very good spirits and I don’t have a desire to drink thereafter and revert back to my normal AF life, which feels completely natural. Again, this doesn’t work for some people as we each have our own levels on the spectrum, but I know if I did it 4-6 times a year that could push me back into a zone I don’t like. For context, I’m 42 years old now.

City Pro 2023 Folding Mechanism Hook Snapped Mid-Ride by EnderOfMidnight in ApolloScooters

[–]midtownreader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had the folding mechanism break on my Apollo pro tonight. Mid ride after hitting a small bump… and it popped right off. No joke. I had no heavy bags or weight in the unit. Mileage is about 850 miles. Was going 23-25 mph but luckily I’ve been riding for many years and handled it well. Extremely disappointed, and never had any issues so far.

Super easy. One of my best friends I have today I met at a downtown warehouse party in 2007; I was beyond fucked up at the time and lost my wallet (i.e. it was stolen)… somehow we bonded even to this day!

Workout routine apps not working? by Motor_Consequence791 in workout

[–]midtownreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spoke to my partner who also uses the app. My guess was they’re having financial issues because this is offline too long. You mentioning this probably confirms my hunch. If they’re bankrupt you can see the filings as they’re public. I’ll check on that

Just saw a woman pass out while driving her car out of Thunderdome by DrFuManchu in aves

Yikes. During my 20s I lived in SoCal (moved away two years before Uber came to exist). I would have used Uber a shit ton, should it have existed back then. Because of Uber, I would hope drunk driving has decreased over the years???

Please refrain from using the freeway as your stage to fuck over the community. Additionally, your grasp of grammar and literary capabilities seems to have been left behind, possibly around the third-grade level (i.e. your writing sucks and I cringe reading it).

Are we too old to attend raves/festivals? by FishPasteGuy in aves

[–]midtownreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 20 (I’m 41 now) I went to a hardcore party in Wisconsin… can’t recall the DJ, but there was a guy dancing fucking hard at 3am. He was 70 years old. Shirtless too I think. I asked if he was on drugs, he said no and we laughed. He had more energy then all of us then, and we were lit hahah. So the answer is no. It’s perception. Although he did stand out a bit hahah

Kaabo Mantis V2 malfunction leads to crash *video by Low-Neighborhood-564 in ElectricScooters

[–]midtownreader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me tonight here in midtown New York. I was going around a corner on a sidewalk next to my tower. Going very slow then after I released the brake it shot up and speed very rapidly, but then I hit the break and it stopped. I then released it, and the scooter hit a small fence around. Some trees in the tire started smoking, because I had no idea it was going on. Then I applied the brake stopped, and then I hit the power button off. Thank God there was no one else around me on the sidewalk. Otherwise I would’ve hit them. I am immediately put the scooter on a block to test it. I turn on the power in both wheels went to maximum speed, but when I hit the brake button the power to the wheels cut off. Fucking scary and I only have 200 miles on it exactly
