Just trying to enjoy the 4th with my family at McKinney Falls State Park and a group of people come out with their giant loudspeaker and start blaring their music. Ignore requests to turn it off. I go over there and turn it off and then it turns into a huge scene. Another guy out there too backed me up. Told the park ranger about it but they responded way too late. Instead of trying to ban people drinking beer in parks, they need to ban these idiots with these giant loudspeakers ruining it for everyone else. Who else feels this way?

It is 4th of July here in the USA and I know I’m being a Debbie downer but as the title states..I think neighborhood fireworks should be illegal. Laying in bed and it sounds like a war zone in my backyard. What gives you the right to create havoc for your neighbors just because it is a holiday? You are disturbing pets, families with babies and infants trying to get to sleep, people who have to wake up and go to their jobs who are now losing sleep, for what??? Have your BBQs and house parties, play your music and get drunk, but for the love of America can we stop with the booming fireworks in the driveway?!

What is the psychology behind getting rather ticked off when someone says that they do not know about something that is seemingly common knowledge? E.g what does a&e stand for?

I've been binging on Squatter Hunters, and it just reinforces my belief that squatters are some of the most spineless people in existence. They are all very rude (as is expected) and some even use the property to engage in other fraudulent activities. Like, why can't they just go to a shelter or even have the human decency to sleep under a bridge if they are lacking shelter that much? I feel so much sympathy for the owners who take months to get their property back. And I hope they haven't claimed the lives of any victim, or caused significant, irreparable harm.

I have seen story after story of people's unleashed, untrained mutts hurting either people or other animals. Hell even when they're leashed some fucking thickheaded dumbasses let their dogs attack other animals because

"Oh, He'S jUsT pLaYiNg!"

No. The. FUCK. Your. Mutt. Is. Not.

I see this especially on beaches, as someone who is constantly looking at crab posts on social media I've noticed alot of assholes just let they're dogs attack ghost crabs or sand fleas. Ghost crabs are INTEGRAL to beach maintenance and health and so are sand fleas. Stop letting your fucking dog kill them.

Please note I do not hate dogs, my dad has 4 very lovely and sweet dogs. I'm just tired of ignorant owners and untrained dogs

Fuckin Nazi shitasses man.

Pisses me the fuck off. Reddit is genuinely anti new user.

Once and a while.

Should of. Could of. Would of.

There, they're, their.

Your, you're.

Could care less.

What am I forgetting?

Here we go...

I hereby apologize for the length, I just can't control my rantings... but keep on reading, you might find it interesting or questionn8ng.

Anyway what's done is done.

One of my fav music has quite evolved since I first got hooked by Ed Rush, Optical & other UK or commonwealth artists, Dieselboy for the us of a...

It evolved so & so that at my great [& unpleasant] surprise it has been labeled, quite horribly imao [-> Neurofunk !!! 😳😩😔]

Anyway I recently began to refocus on music, even found myself wanted again to attend parties, parties that I stopped enjoying then going to when what I predicted in our early years of "ONE PPL ONE RAVE" [back in 1991 if I correctly recollect] came true :

I quote myself --> "Today we are seen as degenerates, they call us RAVERS with disgust and disdain and claim that 'popping pills while frantically moving your body till sunup (and generally back to sundown ! 🤪) ain't & wont ever be my thing' like they are our betters we dumb, debrained junkies and our 'BOOM-BOOM-BOOM'.

Well I tell you that these fuckers we flee to live our thing together, the birth of a brand new cultural movement so big, inspiring and unifying, the emergence of a whole new universe that brings us freedom and joy, benevolence, friendship, generosity, self acceptance & so on... Well I tell you that one day sooner than you may think these fuckers will infiltrate and subjugate our dream, pervert it, and then, defenceless will you witness their appropriation of our culture, the ultimate mockery, the final insult... While diligently pushing your cart through the Pet's food alley of your favourite superstore you'll catch a familiar but unharmonious tune recognising House, Techno, Transe or Drum & Bass patterns twisted, sweetened, perverted to fit in advertisings on TV or any supermarket, everybody loves Techno now ! You've been robbed, therefore returning to your early state of "un-special", the mass has caught you up while you felt complacent, the mass ingested you, or is trying...

So enjoy while you can, that's what I intend to do till' those nightclubs rats and their so called disc-jockeys that are nothing more than vinyl pushers and button pressers [Eat shit David GUETTA & the likes of you ! Curse to your cohorts of brain dead uncultured fans !!! 🤬🤬🤬] self-blowing frauds with no imagination, inspiration, nor ability to make us feel things through their mastering of their MK2's, TB303 etc..., the breaking of their limits, birthing sound waves their creators never imagined rising from.

We feel connected, belonging as we witness the assembling of singular, technically demanding art, new tunes created right before our eyes by pure talent, commitment, all of this for and with us, there aren't no masters nor puppets, we are intertwined, the artist responding to the pulse of the crowd before him as much as the crowd blissfully follows the waves he emits through giant speakers walls... UNITY & INTERCONNECTION !!!

Those truly talented ppl we happily let us catch by the ear and willingly abandon ourselves to, as we follow them through their journey to the sounds, emerging some hours later realizing we are so fucking thirsty or hungry, never angry nor sad, but lighter, no heavy weight on our shoulders dragging us down but definitely lightness drivin us up while definitely so filled and full of emotions, vibrations, so many truly pleasant feelings that we know we share with each human surrounding us cos' we recognise the same bliss, ours, in every glance we meet, in those moments no need to speak, just a genuine gentle, honest warm smile, a glint of mutual understanding and complicity, some flirt even and then the beat makes us part ways, happy, feeling so fucking free and damn good, cadencing to the next adventure the next artist will invite us in... PURE BLISS & MAGICK !!!

Seeing a brand new tune made of two, three, man I saw Liza'n'Eliaz play on 5 turntables. They created that day an irresistible wave of sound made of ultra-pitched House classics, australian H-core, even some STEREOLAB [a marvel of UK pop].

To me a real Dj... Heck ! He's a real and good one when you can't identify from wich turntable comes this and that sound, when you see him twitch full on the one on his left, muting sounds you could have sworn where part of the main tune you are responding to for several minutes, too many minutes by the way, all of wich couldn't be contained on the engravings of this obsidian plate... CREATION BEFORE YOUR EYES !!!

As you may have noticed I am a passionate person and I thank & congratulate each of those who read me so far...

In my return back to basics I had the pleasure of finding ONE mix that engaged me further to my re-exploration of the sounds I scream over, that make me losing my air jumping, trying to follow the beat, then the snare, the tweet, ho let's try the bass... & so on.

That particular set I found on Souncloud was performed by OPSEN and is named KILLCAST 15, TRENDKILLRECORDS.

I truly recommend... then it lends me to EATBRAIN etc...

I should stop...

I know not everyone has this knowledge but i want to bitch about it.

Stop. Giving. Bananas. To. Invasive. Monkeys.

Yes, they are absurdly cute and i want to take them home and give them a tiny little house and give them all the love in the world. Yes, it is cute when they take things from your hands. Yes, it's cool to interact with nature and we don't have the chance to do that much frequently when living in the middle of the city.

BUT, those little guys are actively destroying the local fauna and flora and have no predators here. Also, by feeding them you are making them mentally connect humans and food, which can cause food aggression since they start seeing us as below them (giving that we are literally giving up the food we worked for and is necessary for our survival, this means they are more important than us, right?

People are getting away with not being judged far more than they should be. Clara's always great for saying it like it is and calling people out on stupid stuff they do.

it's the ultimate non-answer answer

As a previous restaurant owner nothing irritates me more than to see local businesses basically begging for people to frequent them. “Recently divorced mom really appreciates any business” “someone wrote a bad review please help me prove them wrong” When did crying on social media become the go to in advertising???

I wouldn’t say this 100% grinds my gears anymore. It brushes my toes maybe lol.

When people are in an argument and say “you so scary” to communicate that they think “you’re scared”, it just makes them sound dumb… not intimidating. That doesn’t make me want to fight you, it makes me want to hand you a book to read.

I’d prefer “you’re a p*ssy” over “you’re scary” because it just doesn’t make you look tough bro. It’s incorrect and embarrassing imo.

I tend to attract people who talk WAY too much. I’m quieter myself, but not shy and like to converse. I’m aware I tend to attract mega talkers and actively look for people capable of more balanced conversation. I’m referring to a very old friend in this story.

I went to a party on the weekend with a friend who talked so much that it clearly made people uncomfortable and sort of changed the whole dynamic.

She will also talk my ear off in a way that is just overwhelming and ends up stressing me out. She lives with family members on the spectrum and I think she’s just “getting it all out” but it is WAY too much for me. It would be for anyone. She’s a very kind and smart person otherwise so i don’t get how she can be so “inconsiderate.”

How are you not aware you’re taking up way too much space? Can you stop? Would you like it if someone told you nicely to give someone else a chance to talk?

I just don’t understand how people aren’t aware of what they are doing and making people uncomfortable. Mega talkers, weigh in!
