I bought tickets for me and my friends to go to a rave last weekend at Unveiled in Brooklyn and have never ever been treated so badly.

I was the designated driver. Stone cold sober. Driving for almost 2 hours. We were in a great mood driving to the city, were lucky with parking, and generally excited for the show. We walk up to the bouncers, and I was fumbling with my phone in my bag trying to get the tickets out and also my ID. I wasn’t in this man’s vision for more than 20 seconds before what transpired.

The bouncer, Rico, goes “She’s not coming in. She’s too drunk.” I was like “what are you talking about? I paid $120 for tickets and I’m not drunk.”

My friends wanted to get out of there but I wasn’t going to ruin one of my friend’s nights (she was meeting a boy for a date) so I told her to go in and I’d speak to a manager.

I take a while to center myself, and go back and ask to speak to a manager. I told them I was willing to do any breathalyzer test, and that I had had NOTHING to drink that day and wasn’t even planning on drinking at the venue. I just wanted to spend time with my friends. He said “I don’t care if you’re not drunk, you could be on other drugs” He knew I wasn’t even fucking drunk. He didn’t think I was pretty enough or dressed well enough to go in, I’m guessing.

This short little fucker Rico made me wait over 25 minutes to speak to a “manager” who was this tall french fucker who dismissed me immediately. He was just another bouncer. I was never allowed to speak to anyone from DICE or event management. I’m never a Karen, and I’m a bartender myself so if anyone could understand, it’s me. I’m not a difficult person to get along with. He was being abusive as fuck, and his coworkers were apologizing for his behavior, but refused to back me up.

After 30 minutes of having him dick me around I was fed up and I called him a short, bitchless, douchebag. I stand by that. He is all of those things.

He called me a “fat bitch” bro im 5’3 and 120lbs what the actual fuck. He’s abusive as fuck to women. My male friend almost fought him. It was a horrible experience and the event organizers are refusing to refund me. I’ve been going to shows almost every week for 8 years across multiple states and I’ve NEVER been treated like that.

They’ll steal your money and call you a fat bitch. Scumbags. Don’t waste your time or money on these evil fucks at Unveiled. More like Unbelievable.

Fuck that douchebag Rico especially.

EDIT: looking up reviews about this place on google is insane. i’m not the only person they’ve done this to. they seem to discriminate based on looks or how you’re dressed. I was wearing a long cheetah print skirt and a small orange top that had the middle cut out. I wasn’t wearing a dirty t-shirt or anything. A dress code should be stated when you buy the ticket right? I didn’t pay $120 to have Rico’s opinion on my fashion sense. Lorraine from customer service said:

“I've reached out to the event organisers to see if they can offer a refund here, although this is not guaranteed as our Purchase Terms state we can only issue a refund if your tickets are sold on the wait list or if the event is cancelled.”

EDIT #2: Holy shit guys we got to #1 on r/brooklyn today! thanks for all your support.

I’ve been emailing with Lorraine and trying to point out the larger pattern of abuse here. I’m firmly against selling tickets online, not disclosing that you have a “dress code” and then using that to not render services. This invites racism and sexism. Sell tickets at the door if that’s the case, not online.

DICE and the event organizers have completely blown me off. They’ve stopped responding. They want me to shut up about this. I’ve sent them screenshots of recent reviews, and tried to urge DICE to end their partnership with Unveiled NYC. I’m not sure what to do other than a chargeback. This place is a blatant scam, they want to take your money and not give it back NO MATTER WHAT. They’re clutching onto my money and I cannot pry it out of their cold dead hands. I would definitely call it organized crime. If I was the only person this happened to, maybe I’d think I wish I was less rude to Rico. But I know I’m not the only person he’s treated like this, and I want to stand up for others.

Having a discriminatory door policy when you sell tickets online is absolutely insane. It’s a scam. They don’t disclose a “dress code” on the ticketing app OR their website. I would have never came in the first place. and Feel free to leave reviews, I certainly will be writing a SCATHING one.

I’ve had my 7 favorite Miis on an island alone for two weeks in hopes that they interact enough to all want to live in one house. They are cut off from the rest of the island. Their friendship levels with each other are high enough to prompt the moving in together request, but it happens rarely and never works.

Is there a way to reset the orange thought bubble? Like can I close and open the game many times until they have an orange bubble? or is it time based? I’m looking for a foolproof method.

Any advice is appreciated thank you :)

The Universe Smiles Upon You

I want to get a tattoo in thai for my favorite band, khruangbin. their music and this message mean a lot to me.

I guess I’ve never liked lawns. I love plants and animals and bugs and I love having a wild lawn. Landscaping is the last thing I have on my mind. But I moved into a house with my grandma 3 years ago and since her passing I have been living here alone. I have never understood the true depths of how much suffering lawns cause until I have lived next to this guy.

He’s SUPER nice. He was friends with my grandma for decades, he’s a cop, he takes out my trash, and he mows my lawn. My grandma used to pay him or his son to do it occasionally, but I don’t pay him because I didn’t want or need him to do that. But he does it for free, which is sweet. He helped carry my grandma’s casket, and that’s something I won’t forget. So i haven’t said much to him and have just generally been getting through it. And I wouldn’t have an issue with it if it wasn’t every day, sometimes multiple times a day. I think taking care of his lawn and the neighbors is his “exercise” for the day or favorite outdoor activity. Something he does compulsively, not because it needs to be done. Which is a crazy take for such a noisy activity.

You could take a ruler to his lawn. Not only does he mow, he leaf blows all the cuttings. It takes hours sometimes. Today, after I pulled an all nighter because I work late nights, He mows at 9am and also 5pm. There’s no schedule. And because he does my lawn and some other neighbors lawns too, it is CONSTANT. I have tried to tell him I want to participate in “no mow may” and I have texted him links to websites with information about the ecosystem but he still mows my lawn.
My neighborhood sounds like a construction zone constantly. I have grown to appreciate winter only because the constant noise is at least less. Summer is rough and right now this man is in full swing. It sounds like I live next to some sort of active construction site every single day. There should be some sort of laws regarding this because it makes the house almost unlivable.

The other day I was trying to get my cats in the car to go to the vet and they’re freaking out, this guy walks up to me and starts making small talk with the LEAF BLOWER BLARING. This freaked the fuck out of my cats obviously and made the whole trip so much worse. There was a spider in my backyard I have grown quite fond of this summer, and this guy lawn mowed him to death. The noise is probably so distressing to wildlife as well. There are deer, foxes, groundhogs, cats, etc., in my area. We live in NJ, which is already a toxic waste dump. I don’t want to breathe in gasoline constantly. Even if I could somehow communicate with him to stop mowing my lawn, he does multiple lawns directly next to me and across from me. The noise wouldn’t stop completely.

The emissions, the environmental impact, the use of water, the effects on animals, and my own personal hell have been enough. It really makes you think about what we’re doing to our environment EVERYWHERE in america. I promise to never mow a lawn a day in my life. We’re going all natural and sustainable when I own my own house somewhere else.

I (25F) have a really close group of 3 friends. Let’s call them Friend A (25F), Friend B (25F), and Friend C(25F). We have been extremely close, sisters, for most of our lives. I consider them MORE than friends, they are my actual family.

Friend A was groomed by a 28 year old when she was 15 years old, a coworker of hers. He (38M) should be on a list. They were definitely doing more than kissing. We really should have gotten the cops involved, but doing that to her felt wrong at the time for a couple reasons. Friend A had a bad home life and was dealing with multiple mental health issues. She was dealing with so much at the time. We told her it was fucked up and begged her not to continue with this, but she would shut us out of her life. She has a tendency to hide from people if she knows they won’t like what she’s doing. We also felt like it would end at some point.

10 years later, it has not ended. She moved in with him STRAIGHT out of high school. They have a child (1M). He was caught cheating on at least 13 different occasions. They have a 1.5 year old child together. He was on tinder when she was pregnant. I paid $20 on cheater buster AI to see that he was on tinder AT HIS OWN BABY SHOWER. A woman from tinder once tried to rob him and broke the windshield of Friend A’s car with a rock. He has also been causing financial strain. He bought a tesla and financed $20k for a TESLA that he also needs a subscription to drive. He barely works.

This man IS NOT a catch, he got fired at the grocery store and now works part time at a coffee shop for cash and trades cryptocurrency online. He’s a lot older than all of us. He used to be a crackhead. He’s overweight, balding, and just generally unpleasant to look at. He’s an asshole from staten island. Picture ginger and jewish and big. He lived with his parents until he was 35. He fakes incompetence when it comes to his child because he wants Friend A to come back home. It’s weaponized. “I can’t feed him if you don’t come home” type BS.

Friend A is drop dead gorgeous. I’m actually serious about this, she’s a 10/10 and should have been a model. She radiates beauty and light and love. She is one of the most beautiful women on this planet. She is a bombshell, her beauty is inside AND out. They have a beautiful son together who was born last year. I love them both so much.

Friend A FINALLY announces to everyone that they’ve broken up a couple months ago. She says she saw tinder on his phone again, even after she had their child. She starts going out with me and Friend B, spending time with us, talking to us more. We even gave a nickname to her new persona, and she started college for the first time in her life. I’m so proud of her. The only thing I’m not happy about is her decision to keep living with him for the foreseeable future under the guise of “co-parenting.” In separate rooms, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

Recently I’ve been spending more time with Friend A, and she’s been talking about this man a lot more. She’s been going on outings with him, saving half of her dinner for him (he’s almost 40 he can feed his damn self) and generally bringing him up in conversation subconsciously. They’re going out together for father’s day. He took them to the zoo. It just all feels very weird to me. I know her like the back of my hand, and I don’t want to be suspicious but I just can’t shake the feeling they’re back together.

Friend B has threatened to end their friendship on MULTIPLE occasions. if Friend A gets back together with him. Friend B is very quick to anger but she cares about people a lot. They in particular have been friends for the longest time, and we all have matching tattoos that we got at 18. It would be devastating to the entire friend group if there was a rift between them that couldn’t be mended. Friend C and I are in consensus that we love her and support her no matter what, but it’s so hard to see her be used for her body, for her heart, financially, and baby trapped. I’ve offered her multiple times to come live with me, and my grandma owns an apartment I could rent out to her for extremely cheap. Even free if she needed it. She just wants to stay and nothing can change her mind. It’s sad because we were so young and she was definitely groomed.

If anyone has any advice, please let me know. I need our friend group to stay together, they are pretty much the only family I have. I wish she would get away from him but I’ve tried everything I can think of doing. I don’t want to press any charges or anything because that would effect her son and i’m not willing to hurt him (or her) like doing something like that. I wish she would just sue him for paternity and have a healthy but separate co parenting relationship with him. I don’t know what she sees in him. The whole situation is really heartbreaking.

Any constructive comments are appreciated. Thank you
