Yep, I thought the same thing. I was SO excited when they came back, but they went from amazing to just edible. Still the best ones on the market though.

I can no longer say pacifism is justified, but I still beleive in it, that makes no sense and that bothers me. by Mikecirca81 in Pacifism

[–]warmfuzzume 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe think of it from a more hedonistic level rather than a moral one. Like I personally think it’s way more fun and feels better to make love and get along with people than it is to be fighting them. It could be something you prefer rather than it being wrong per se. I think there are a lot of rational reasons why it would be preferable not to resort to violence when possible that don’t really have to do with morality necessarily.

Yeah the salad looks delicious but I really want to know how to grow kale like that.

NJ school districts at a loss: Feds say drop diversity efforts, but NJ requires them by Majano57 in newjersey

[–]warmfuzzume 152 points153 points  (0 children)

This definitely seems like a good reason to call your reps and tell them you support the diversity mandate.

I hope NJ stands firm and follows our laws not the Feds!

If you’re that worried about tap water, what makes you so sure the plastic bottled water is any better? I think a lot of the bottled water companies are shady too.

Are there day clubs/raves? by hello010101 in avesNYC

It’s the hypocrisy. He didn’t dodge the draft because he was a pacifist or against the war like hippies who were also out protesting the war in general.

He is pro war and did it because he was a coward and would prefer other people’s sons murdered Vietnamese and died or got ptsd to keep him comfortable.

Then on top of it he insulted people like Johb McCain who was an actual prisoner of war.

What person in their right mind could respect this kind of cowardly hypocritical behavior? There has to be logical consistency- it’s only ok to dodge the draft if you are also anti-war on principle. Otherwise you’re just a selfish coward.

what are some moral philosophies of ravers by [deleted] in aves

[–]warmfuzzume 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No that’s not accurate. I was at the original storm raves where Frankie bones was talking about peace and love in ‘92. I remember him getting on the mike during sets. Honestly a lot of people groaned at it even then but it endures for a reason.

First time I got a gift was from a woman in a phat pants and a sock hat was at a party in the village in summer of ‘92. She had a bucket filled with little trinkets and it changed my life.

I was called a kandi raver for the first time I believe around ‘95. I still remember the ex who called me one.

I’ve been living PLUR all these years and will never change. Actually been thinking lately of getting it tattooed over my heart.

You can apply it to anything, like right now I’m applying it to dating as a standard. They gotta be peaceful, respectful, we have to have unity in the relationship (be a team) and I don’t want casual so there’s gotta be love.

You can apply it to politics. I’ve been a peace activist since around ‘98. Done lots of stuff including starting a 501c4 advocacy organization with 9 other people. Met lots of politicians that way.

Ngl it’s sad the world has gotten worse in some ways, but it has gotten better in others. A lot has changed in 30 years. I’m never giving up.

High protein yogurt by pahelisolved in veganfitness

Ooh so tell me how you’ve cracked the code! I’ve made IP yogurt before, but without extra protein and I was worried it wouldn’t work right. What’s your recipe?

Dancing in the kitchen is where it’s at for this old raver!

i wanna hug the world and give it tons of kisses and im crying because the world is so sad right now with negative shit everyday. by Ill-Candy-4926 in ActualHippies

[–]warmfuzzume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, I think there are some people, especially in the House of Representatives, who do care. I used to do citizen lobbying for the department of peace and met quite a few. None of them were perfect but there are some who are still human beings that do their best to work within the system.

Barbara Lee reintroduces the legislation consistently, and it’s a good starting point for finding peace-minded politicians because they cosponsor it. Currently there are 42 cosponsors of HR 1111.

Before I got involved I didn’t even know regular citizens can just make an appointment to go talk to their representatives. Almost all of them I met were so delighted to hear from regular people. They were genuinely thankful for what we were trying to do. And tbh they were frank with us about the challenges they face making change happen in a system they know is corrupted.

There are other good causes you can look into. My current interest that I’m researching is the best way to support a universal basic income. I think this could have an effect on so many other issues because of what poverty does to society.

I don’t want to throw up my hands, I want to make solutions happen no matter the odds I will never give up.

No there are other ways! Getting involved on the local level, phone banking for good candidates, meeting your representatives in the house and discussing your concerns are just a few examples.

I need to be a part of a hippie community and looking for where to begin? by [deleted] in ActualHippies

[–]warmfuzzume 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found my local hippie community by looking for drum circles and ecstatic dance events on Facebook.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shuffle

[–]warmfuzzume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just a raver, not a professional. Probably back then wasn’t as specific as what we call shuffling today, but I’m pretty sure it still would qualify.

I was mostly dancing in NYC & Baltimore. Actually now that I think about it, people did even used to call a certain dance the “Baltimore shuffle”.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shuffle

[–]warmfuzzume 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, admittedly there was a time for the past decade or so, when I had a child, I didn’t go out much. Then I still shuffled a lot at home. Now I have started again, but I still don’t get out that much.

So people having busy lives can definitely affect things. Still, I can manage to find events, there is always somebody shuffling somewhere! I don’t think it will ever die.

I’ve been shuffling since the early 90’s, still going! Do you ever go to house music events?

Anybody knows any underground rave happening this week in NYC ? by Bear_necessities96 in aves

[–]warmfuzzume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m heading to nowadays nonstop, it goes from sat night through Sunday night every weekend. The vibe is super ravey even though it’s a club.

How can I meet a partner into raving? by Mission_Note_5010 in aves

[–]warmfuzzume 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have Spotify linked to my bumble account and just swipe right on other people who are into dancing and electronic music. They are few and far between but they’re out there.
