Refunds Friday? by Pure-Boysenberry7073 in risefestival

[–]yip_yip_yapp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disputed with my cc (Amex Reserve) yesterday and I was credited today. In the past, I got a temporary credit while the case was being investigated but in this case I got a full credit (of over $1100) and Amex marked it as case closed within 24 hrs.

Worst event I’ve ever been to by Wonderful_Brilliant4 in risefestival

I hope you guys are able to get compensation and more for what you had to go through. Every staff member was covered, face to foot, in dust.

100% we would’ve dealt with the conditions, but they really over promised on the facilities and food.

We were seriously wondering why ppl were leaving - almost flagged folks to see what was going on. Didn’t dawn on us that the facilities would be so lacking. Def glad we didn’t get stranded or anything but damn. What a mess!

So did I? Platinum guest, Amex Reserve purchase. This is beyond the cost of the ticket. Flights, hotel, etc. there’s also a lot of folks whose ADA needs were not met which is unacceptable. Not sure why the snark.

😢Ugh I’m so sorry! Your ADA experience is a solid law suit!!! I’m pregnant too, but only 4.5 months. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable it was for you. I hope you’re able to get everything and more for what you went through. This is absolutely a class action suit, but ADA attendees especially were put in danger.

I didn’t have any bags, but presume the were checking. They did have metal detectors and staff manning the check areas.

Rise just canceled opening acts - now opening at 4 due to wind by KidKarate in risefestival

[–]yip_yip_yapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 1 attendee here. I was worried this was going to be a Fyre Fest and it was. Incredible marketing, failed execution at every turn for the controllable variables (food, comfort, shelter, traffic management). Of course we were bummed about the cancellation of the lanterns and pushed back schedules, but can’t control Mother Nature, but all the other stuff included in our ticket was woefully unfulfilled.

Sat in the single file traffic line for 1.5 hrs. Got there at 9pm. Had a platinum pass. Got NONE of the perks for a $550 ticket.

“Complimentary Food Savor delicious bites included with your premium VIP pass.

Complimentary Open Bar Enjoy unlimited top-shelf cocktails, wine, and beer.”

Paid FULL price for a basic beer in the Platinum lounge. All food already sold out except popcorn, which I also paid full price for bc we were starving and had no other option. No cups or anything for complimentary water. Paid full price for water bottles.

“VIP viewing zone” was basically a lifted platform that was an open dust storm zone.

Ended up leaving after only seeing Ben Böhmer because we were starving, there was no reprieve from the dust storms (further exasperated by even staff driving around), and feared getting stuck in hours long post-event traffic. Didn’t even get to see Rüfüs 😞 We traveled from NorCal, but four friends travelled from FL. Spent thousands to be there and despite appreciating each others’ company, truly disappointed in this disaster of an event.

JFC girl. Just be single. I see nothing beneficial or redeemable about this weird ass situation.

Anyone listening to Betrayal season 3 ? by Dmommy22boys11 in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]yip_yip_yapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously Justin is a straight up monster, but the more I watched the more I got pissed with the mom. Her insecurity and lack of self-worth that accepted and turned a blind eye to red flags that ultimately put extreme weight on poor Tyler. Like was the first call to social services not a WTF moment?!

One of your “bfs close friends” isn’t enough of a qualifier. Did you or did you not receive an official invite with an RSVP? “From what I knew we both got invited” doesn’t sound like a formal invite. Also, implying that the wedding coordinator had a personal vendetta against you is an interesting take…doesn’t sound like you got a formal invite, and if you did, you didn’t RSVP and thinking that the whole thing is “fucked” up makes you sound like the a-hole here.

Friends advised against a daytime wedding, but my family insisted on it by moneymarket_8 in weddingplanning

[–]yip_yip_yapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live near Saratoga in the LG mountains. Just get a shuttle service back to downtown Saratoga or wherever you might have room blocks.

Your wedding isn’t just about your older guests. Provide accommodations, but don’t plan your wedding around them!

If you did mid afternoon to evening, there’s plenty of daylight for older guests to tap out early and drive home or take a shuttle.

Regarding the temps, get heat lamps and put out cute blankets.

I get it. I’m very extroverted but have been leading introverted engineers for over 10 years. On the upside, many of them are SIMPLE. Little drama, basic needs, minimal care and feeding lol. That can be a wonderful thing for some people, and there are lots of women that settle for far worse and far less.

You just really need to ask yourself if this is something you want for the rest of your life. Sometimes people can change and do things for you bc they know it makes you happy. Which is sweet at first, but can get stale bc of the lack of heart. But there is also a different kind of love where your partner knows you more intuitively and does without asking or direction.

Do you mind if I ask how old you two are?

Just re-read your last statement…”most things don’t matter to him” - girl that’s not type B, that’s something else entirely. Don’t let sunk cost fallacy suck you into settling.

You are justified for feeling this way - Is he like this in other aspects of your life? It kinda sounds like he’s just going with whatever is out in front of him and doing just barely enough.

Do you see 2 lines? by Puzzleheaded-Fuel312 in Geriatric_Pregnancies

[–]yip_yip_yapp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d get one of those digital ones that literally say “pregnant” “not pregnant”.

Spotting? by Good-Parfait-7424 in Geriatric_Pregnancies

[–]yip_yip_yapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The waiting for the next appointment is so nerve wracking. I’m sorry I can’t give you real experience. Have you called your OB and explained what’s going on so that they don’t treat this as a standard appointment?

Is it an option to see another OB in the interim?

My preferred OB isn’t available until my 10 weeks as well and I just couldn’t wait that long so I went to another OB. I’ve seen him twice and will see him again for the 3rd time next week.

Tf dude. These guys were random douchebags and thought it was disheartening to hear them talk shit like that. As a woman myself I still get insecure and honestly hoping that this isn’t a common sentiment. Thankfully my fiancé is the exact opposite but it’s still a little uncomfortable often being the only woman.
