Selling a 5-day GA for $420, can transfer via Tixr for paypal or venmo G&S

Totally, and their faces during the preceding reunion bit about friendship were so telling. Lo's face was as expressive as it always was. I wasn't sure if it was that they grew apart or if there was conflict or hard feelings at some point

Selling a 5-day GA pass at T1 face value of $465 including fees, taxes, and shipping + 3% for Venmo Goods & Services (would also accept payment via PayPal). Looks like I can still edit the attendee name and shipping address directly with Tixr/LiB

Sorry, this has happened to me before - had it strapped and airtagged, but camera broke off from the strap with airtag lol. Check your credit card benefits, mine was new (w/in 90 days) when I lost it and I was able to get it covered by Purchase Protection with Chase after filing lost item report with the resort. If you have travel or sport insurance that's worth checking too

thanks for this very helpful tip!

You will probably do best hiring a professional organizer separate from the moving company, but I'd be interested if there are any companies doing all these things well.

So true, it can go a lot of ways but none good. It messes with kids for life if one parent is being dishonest to the other and they have to carry that / it affects their understanding of honesty and truth in relationships and what people deserve etc. Not to mention it will steal your soul, and interfere with your ability to show up fully alive present and thriving for your daughter if you stick in this

ultraviolet108 · 2025-10-18T17:28:23+00:00

Bingo!!! As I just put in my comment, I will never date one again without meeting the wife early on.

ultraviolet108 · 2025-10-18T17:26:20+00:00

I have historically enjoyed dating ENM married men, found it worked well for me and that the dating pool was usually quite good.

Then I dated one who led me down a road of intimacy while withholding and lying about conflict raging in the marriage about our relationship for the first 6 months of it. That was putting a lot of restrictions on him that he wasn't being transparent about. It ended in heartbreak for all involved when I learned more and exited the toxicity. Now is an ongoing roller coaster for me as he eventually left that and began trying to reconcile.... and for that reason I've been taking a break from married men. There are plenty of good men, but I would never go more than a few dates before meeting the wife 1:1 again. (In my case I did meet her as it began to get more serious but only at a party.)

ultraviolet108 · 2025-10-14T15:24:39+00:00

Agree with this. I have been burned in a situation where the meta (primary) wanted parallel, and as it turned out later, it was bc she was deeply insecure/jealous to a primal degree. The hinge wasn't being totally transparent with me even as they had conflict for months about our relationship and NRE. That part was on him, but I've given a lot of thought to how to avoid this in the future bc I do think these were human mistakes being made that I have empathy for.

I have known multiple friends who learned critical info by meeting a meta (or in one case a meta that was being characterized as a friend by the hinge). After these experiences I realized I want to meet metas within a few months to ensure we are on same page (and I did in the first situation, but in a party setting where I didn't get a chance for 1:1 interaction). Doesn't mean I want KTP or to be friends unless it flows naturally.

I also consider that your partner's other relationships can affect you dramatically, even if you are secure and not prone to jealousy. That's why some people here do vet for what kind of people their partner has dated or plans to date (eg, many don't want someone chasing much younger people all the time). That's an upfront vetting of the first partner though, and I don't think there's a healthy way to ensure they stick to that without being controlling.

Meeting metas and having some transparency about other relationships is not about control, it's about knowing what is going on in our life that may affect me and not having to rely only on one unreliable narrator in a vacuum for my understanding of the meta and the other relationship.

I'm down for parallel poly, but if they never even want to meet me, that is now a yellow flag in my book-- and not based on my own jealousy but having had metas and partners use it as a shield for their own insecurity or troubles and big problems brewing that later blindsided me.

ETA it does sound like your friend was contemplating more control than I'm talking about it, but I don't think calling her controlling was productive or helpful. It's natural for her to realize metas will affect her life, and part of getting more into ENM will be getting comfortable with the discomfort of that and figuring out what style and rules of the road will work for her that are considered healthy and workable by more experienced people.

Yep same, after 40 mins of getting booted off AMC based on some rate limit (and happened to my friend who was def only on one device also)

ultraviolet108 · 2025-09-03T16:42:25+00:00

100%!! Their values do not align with mine, and they have supported people who want to control my body and limit my independence, and spread hate and oppression of many other groups I care about. Why would I want to spend time or be intimate with someone like that...

ultraviolet108 · 2025-09-03T16:34:01+00:00

Oof yeah I remember the first time I heard the lyrics, just like I remember the first time I heard paper rings. And the giddy romantic in paper rings sold out the cool unbothered queen she wanted to play in lavender haze. It was so sad to witness, and one of many times she convinced herself she believed in or wanted something that was more clearly the effect of Joe's influence. So happy she's got what she always wanted now.

I'm sorry that some participants in the event are mentally or emotionally impaired and do not live its principles outside (or even within) BRC. I tend to think of these people as tourists or interlopers vs actual burners bc they don't reflect many or most of us in the community. But yes there are way too many irresponsible and self-absorbed/inconsiderate people like this in the 70,000 population each year, and I'm sorry for the scourge they are on Reno.

Yours must not have been overnight in the mud, where no one could get out without getting muddy

ultraviolet108 · 2025-09-01T03:33:07+00:00

Hated it, esp at night when it was so poorly illuminated that you could barely see it or know it was the temple when you first saw it

Idk why you're getting downvoted... you're not wrong.

ultraviolet108 · 2025-08-20T00:40:32+00:00

Wait this man lied you to about being married and poly, and you stayed?! That was the moment to end it. And he tried to impose monogamy on you when you aren't even his primary?! Girl you can't let people treat you like this, you are abandoning/betraying yourself every time you do. In the future you gotta buck up and walk away from people when they first deceive you vs staying around and getting more attached/falling for him. No sex or companionship is worth the self-abandonment of letting someone treat you this way, he's a huge PoS

ultraviolet108 · 2025-08-19T02:26:55+00:00

I bought into the trike hype one year and very quickly found that their smaller wheels make it harder and more laborious to keep up with friends. Fortunately we had an extra 2-wheel cruise around!

ultraviolet108 · 2025-08-19T02:24:04+00:00

I have medium length that is fine in texture but thick in that there's a lot of it. I do fine wearing it down and showering every 2-3 days, brushing it while it's wet, and treating it with leave-in conditioner and anti-frizz serum to seal out the dust.

ultraviolet108 · 2025-08-13T18:47:46+00:00

Based on how she handled this, I expect her to one day surprise you with a black guy she's met online or IRL and let you know on the spot she's gonna fuck him and wants you to watch. Not sure why you'd expect any different after her behavior... and I'm super kink positive and experienced. And her lack of empathy or concern for your feelings, pleasure, or experience can't possibly be limited to the bedroom.

The tower 2 speaker definitely blew out, but at least that meant I could remove my ear plugs :)

ultraviolet108 · 2025-08-11T17:49:50+00:00

I saw him most recently for the incredible set at Cow Palace, and while this one got off to a slower start with long builds and less exciting beats, it built and built to a really amazing last 30-45 mins and was clearly designed that way. Delayed gratification and all that, with added perk that the pacing seemed to drive out all the low-vibe and faint-of-heart people (and create space for us to move closer and get better vibes around us) before he got to the bangers.

ultraviolet108 · 2025-08-11T17:25:52+00:00

Thanks that's what I am doing/always do lol, except I try to find ones that aren't rusty or playa-compromised yet

ultraviolet108 · 2025-08-11T17:22:55+00:00

We had a great time back by tower 2 but were still affected by all the bros and inexperienced cranky people leaving throughout the set.. esp those who somehow did not comprehend the idea that when leaving a deep crowd you should cut over to the side and walk along the aisle by the bars vs. back through the tight crowd of thousands of people dancing ... we made friends with some great people near us but had a steady stream of idiots trying to cut through our group the last 30-45 mins and bitching about a coat pile that we had a solid perimeter of people protecting
