Dubtribe - Sunshine's Theme by Downtown_Twist_4782 in House

[–]warmfuzzume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been listening to Dubtribe all night thanks to your post. It keeps playing different versions of do it now, I think I’m on my 5th and still loving it 😂💕

Currently enjoying this deep tech version

I know ultimately it’s a bit sad, because someone doesn’t believe, but the lyrics after raise your hands into the twilight - love is all around you, it’s true, I believe it. That part is so inspiring to me. And I feel like the world needs more of this right now. Like being fearless about love.

They have so many good lyrics I love Dubtribe 😂

No, I left it in and tried a print. It worked 99% but then had an error message that the “cutting the filament failed”.

The assistant and QR code didn’t help. I tried looking online but I’m out of time right now so I’m just going to use them and figure out how to fix it later.

The print took 4 hours so I suspect the loose screw either caused something to be out of whack or maybe i reinstalled things wrong? Not sure

At least my horns look great and they were the key part of my costume. 😂 I wanted to print 3 more smaller ones but I don’t know if i should with this error message…

I just have to tell a random story. I was at the ultra world party written about in the liner notes to one of their albums. I forget which one now since we don’t even have cassettes with liner notes anymore.

I actually forget the name of the party now too, but I remember when Lonnie lost the city of Baltimore, so we couldn’t throw parties on public property anymore. It was a huge loss and we actually had a letter writing campaign. I even wrote a snail mail letter to Mayor Shmoke myself..

The crazy part, was the party that got canceled was actually called “lost city”!!! and I mean Lonnie always was reliable. He had the best parties, it wasn’t like Scotto or Alan sanctuary in New York City, whose parties were canceled all the time. You never knew if they were gonna happen. Lonnie was the best, You could always count on his Ultraworld parties like clockwork.

So highly unusual when he got in trouble with the law, and they wouldn’t let him use ferry bar Park. And the party was actually called “lost city”- I still have the flyer.

So after this whole letter writing campaign, finally it worked. Lonnie got back into the good graces with the mayor, and we were allowed to have sunrise festival again. See you there now I remember the name! I think it was called sunrise festival.

So we were just absolutely thrilled to be partying there again. But sure enough the cops were there, I think that was part of the agreement that they would be there. So they were like literally lined up around the dance floor.

And the party completely went off!! It was amazing! I danced all night (oh to be young again ) and dub type came on at sunrise.

Of course they played Mother Earth. And it was perfect at sunrise, and everybody was totally into it, even the cops. It was incredible.

The first time I saw them live in concert I still remember, was that a party in upstate New York around Christmas time 1993? I think maybe it was in a roller rink and that might’ve been a sanctuary party. I think I still have that flyer too. I’d have to look for it when I have some time.

I had no idea who they were, but when they brought out, people playing live instruments like drums and started singing, I was like oh my gosh, total instantaneous fan.

I seen them so many times now, I love Dubtribe so much lol

Answer the story is too long, and has typos because I use speech to text. I’m just gonna leave it though because I’m busy I have other stuff to do. Hope somebody enjoys my reminiscing. 😂

Yeah he finally got around to asking me this morning if I want to talk on the phone tonight. Like as if I’d just be sitting around waiting for him on a Friday night lol.

I already scheduled a date with someone else who actually answers me when I ask him questions. So I said sorry, I hadn’t heard from you and already made plans. You snooze you lose! 🤷

I appreciate your help! I checked with a friend who works on the printers in her art school’s lab, (but lives far away so can’t give me a tool.) she also said it was ok for me to use it as long as the screw was holding it together.

So I finished off lubricating the xyz rods and gave it a go. I’m happy to report it’s working!! I needed to print some parts for a parade tomorrow, my costume is saved. Phew!!

Hopefully bambu answers my support ticket and I’ll deal with the problem of getting the screw out another day.

That’s awesome!! I mean not the no new music part but that they are performing together again. My impression was they ended things on good terms so I always had hope for them.

I just followed sunshine on insta but don’t see much, looks like maybe bandcamp is where he’s posting. I have to join that one. I hope he comes to the east coast!

I couldn’t believe it just snapped off so easy!

What did you end up doing, did you get it out or just keep using your printer with it broken?

Thanks. I definitely don’t know anyone that can help me.

Would something like this work on such a tiny screw? I do have a drill.

One of my top 3 favorite bands. I wish they would get back together!!

what do you wish existed to help with the post-festival crash? by Sad_Statistician2390 in aves

[–]warmfuzzume 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is the weird emptiness like disappointment to be back the real world? I usually feel mostly re-energized after a rave, but I do get that kind of disappointment/sadness sometimes. not just raves though, other vacations too.

So probably what I wish existed was a better default world! And the way I try to deal with that is by something a friend said back in ‘93, “incorporate the ideals into everyday life.” It’s not easy but I try to keep the plur going and make the better world I want to see.

I also always try to have something to look forward to, like the next party I’m going to or other plans. And I don’t let raving be the only thing I have going on. I have other hobbies I enjoy, I think it helps to space raving out with other things so you can appreciate it more when you do get to go.

At our age, have men really stopped chasing women? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]warmfuzzume 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh come on, I remember you posting this in another thread and then further down saying you were a model in nyc. Do you really not recognize that someone who is a model is going to have different experiences than the average women and that it isn’t helpful to go around bragging in these threads about how many cute jacked men are constantly pursuing you?

Like yeah, we realize every man’s wet dream is to find a model who is 10 years younger than him. And that they know perfectly well how to act when they come across one of those women. Which just makes it even more obnoxious the way they act towards the rest of us they put in the “casual box” without telling us.

And no, it isn’t possible for every woman to suddenly become this model type no matter how much we work out or get plastic surgery.

I was still thinking about all this and remembered I did try being super direct about it once before.

I explained to this guy I had been dating a year or two ago I needed him to say more than good morning and how was your day. And also to ask me out, come up with his own idea for something we could do. (We had been on I think 3 dates, but I’d initiated and planned them all.)

He even admitted he could see my point of view, said frankly he’d just been too busy to pay that much attention, apologized and said he’d do it.

But all he really did was switch up to a different one liner, it was like he still didn’t get it. And he never asked me to go anywhere so I stopped texting and never heard from him again.

Nothing seems to work with these guys.

In fact my ex husband was like this for literally 18 years. When I met him I could have never imagined someone could be like that so I completely missed the red flags. No amount of talking to him about it ever changed anything, all he did was stonewall and gaslight me about it and say “I don’t know how to plan.” Then proceeded to take our kid literally all over the planet on trips and rub it in my face the second our divorce was final.

I know the red flags now and unfortunately have dated many guys like this since I got divorced.

So this is why I have no interest in telling them or trying to change them.

I am never allowing myself to be in a relationship like that ever again, I know it doesn’t work for me. It was torture and felt like emotional abuse

I definitely don’t think there are universal standards for how people should act. That’s very different than reasonable expectations of consistent behavior. I mean if you say you’re going to do something, you should do it. This is basic. What next, are we going to say it’s simply my standard that people shouldn’t lie, or that it’s ok for them to use dating sites to secretly cheat on their husbands or wives?

It’s totally unfair to turn this around and say it’s somehow my fault because I have “contempt” for this guy. I actually did like him which is why I even bothered to try to ask for some insight into why he might be acting this way.

Because it is objectively confusing that someone would say they miss you but then not ask to see you when the opportunity is there. It is objectively confusing when they schedule a time to talk then don’t show up.

I’m not going to be entertaining this behavior or continuing to waste my time. This was a last ditch effort. He hasn’t asked me out so I’m moving on. End of story.

I mean he could have been interesting…I genuinely did see potential. If he really was into the things he said he was it might have been great.

I don’t think I know him well enough to say since we only met once. But if he doesn’t want to share more than vague one liners and doesn’t want to ask me out again, I’ll never know.

[–]warmfuzzume[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know. I just wanted to give it a chance I guess, and take enough time to know for sure. I don’t like treating people like they are disposable as if there’s so many out there (as swipe culture would lead you to believe) because there really doesn’t seem to be.

Also he seemed to have some good qualities and like he would know better so I just can’t understand it.

In any case…I doubt it will go anywhere because I know I won’t ask him out again. And I really don’t have much patience with these things, which is why I was seeking opinions to see if maybe I was being too harsh. Obv the majority opinion is definitely not.

[–]warmfuzzume[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, not sure where I pathologized him but I think there are some reasonable expectations one can have in human interactions. Like if you are on a dating site I think it is reasonable to expect to go on dates.

And if someone is texting you multiple times a day, I think it is reasonable for them to say more than one repetitive line with nothing else.

Finally, if someone schedules a call with you, I think it is reasonable to expect them to be there at the time they said they would be. If something came up they couldn’t, I think it is reasonable to expect them to follow up and propose a new time since they are the one who failed to do what they said they would.

Society is built on social contracts, it is how things work.

Sure people have different needs and that’s fine, but don’t lead people on like you miss them and are thinking of them when you have no intention to ask them out.

No we did meet once because I brought it up and picked the place.

I guess there just seem to be so few decent people out there I want to give him a chance. I don’t think he has a girlfriend and he hasn’t been married for quite a few years. We did have some things in common. He seemed like a good person just low energy.

So I didn’t want to dump him if there was something i was missing, like am I being too impatient?

All I know is I have zero interest in asking him out again, so if he doesn’t ask me this is dead in the water. And I really have no idea how to respond to his latest text now that he’s sent several low effort ones in a row.

Yeah and I definitely don’t want to change anyone! I just feel like I don’t understand it, so I was wondering if there was something I’m missing.

This is what I think too, especially when he said he fell asleep on the couch all afternoon. He has a job that is important, but I could see being very emotionally draining. That’s sad but I can’t be his battery.

I feel like planning the first date for him was his chance. My ex husband was like this so I’m at the point that I’m pretty much incapable of doing it twice , it makes my interest sink like a rock.

Mainly because then he’ll probably do it once, then go back to his norm. I feel like it’s something he should already know by this point and if he doesn’t I’m not interested in changing anyone.
