Those were the days man..

RinseDrizzle ,

Woah, memories.

We grow up so fast.

RinseDrizzle ,

Bad dog! Nnnnnno!

RinseDrizzle ,

Been seeing some hype on that. Worth?

RinseDrizzle ,

Cheers for the write up! Might have to give that a gander.

Shit is scary out there. Had a situation recently that definitely reinforced how spooky it is being a woman in public.

So I'm chilling with the crew at a bar, came out to catch a homie mixing originals. One of our friends is a cutie. She's with 3 of us fellas. We're in a booth, very obviously a group that came here together. One of the regulars kicks it with us for a bit, harmless banter, classic bar chat shit.

He ends up chilling for a while. We're cracking jokes & having fun, he says his dude owns the bar, etc. He gets a bit flirty (again, felt fully harmless at the time), goes to fetch us a round of brew. She only wanted a water by this stage in the night. When she finally gets around to taking a small sip all her internal alarm bells go off, thinks sum'm tastes off.

We manage to pick up the vibe and dip before anything extra sketch went down and had a lil debrief, made sure everyone was ok etc... One of my dudes had also taken a decent gulp first and seemingly got pretty woozy off it. Now, I can't for sure confirm whether it was truly laced or just shitty dirty bar hose water and a mild panic attack. Can't say whether homie was chemically woozy or placebo woozy (very well could've been tired from long day and lots of brew + dancing), but either way, enough to be a scary situation! We're like 95% sure shit was sketchy.

Absolutely worth trusting the gut when you get an off feeling. Better safe than sorry, all that. As a dude, I've NEVER needed to think twice about a gift beverage at a bar. I circle lots of music scenes and almost every single time I'm out I'll catch a random free drink, smoke, lol candy or whatever off a stranger randomly offering. I've definitely asked to confirm what these gifts are, but generally felt safe enough to take their answers at face value.

Ladies DEFINITELY can't be as cavalier about gifts from strangers though... That's how they end up the subject of these crime podcasts.

Idk, felt like a relevant story to share.

Stay safe, stay frosty, y'all ❤️ Good weekends all around!

Juuust when you forget how dark the world is for a moment, someone gotta shake your faith in humanity all over again. No thanks necessary, of course, but appreciate ya all the same! 🤙 Even on a goofy night, squad ends up safe at home, every time.

Oh yeah! We IMMEDIATELY began talking about safe words/phrases, like, while we were processing wtf just happened. Smart move having something extra inconspicuous like that! Definitely better than whatever dumbass tropical fruit phrase we semi joked about at the time. 😂😬 (Lol fuck, vaguely recall a phrase about needing to take a nasty shit, uff).

Will for sure be on German Shepard Mode next time we catch a night out. Gonna be hard to turn that off for a minute...

RinseDrizzle ,

Yeah dude, all that pick up artist shit is pretty toxic and counter productive imho. Especially these incel influencers talking about "deserving" goddamn anything. Like, being a "good guy" for a minute doesn't mean you deserve a sex treat, you dirty dogs! 😒

Now, I've thankfully been committed in a ship for a while now so can't speak to modern dating scene (fuck it looks bleak for lads in them middle thirties), but I always leaned on my funny bones more than anything back when I was making moves. That and, now this is pretty obvious, just treating women like regular people -- cause they are! (Duh).

I never tried too hard to "have game." I've just been a perpetually evolving amalgamation of shit I find cool. If you're just naturally comfortable and confident in your skin, and visibly having the most fun in the room it's way more attractive than trying too hard. Desperation reeks. Least that's my take.

Of course the rules are a smidge different when you're 11/10 fine as helllll 🤣 I've seen the chat game on them Chads and it gets reckless lmao

Good on ya for the introspective reflection though, truly! Not necessarily a bad thing to cringe at past you; that means you're growing and improving.

how can something be so courageous and yet so true (slrpnk.net)

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee...

RinseDrizzle ,

Vaguely related.. reminding me of my struggle as I research investing in new laptop.

Looking for something powerful enough for live DJ, live music production performance with groove box, keyboard, etc, ideally graphic design sufficient as well. Want ability to move my crafts to a buddy's studio or a proper gig.

Big needs of course are robust processing power/ram, loads of storage ideal, battery life a big plus, quieter than gaming PC preferred, lots of ports a must, and goddammit I want it to last more than a few years before it declines sharply.

I really don't want an Apple. Been there; done that; over it. College graphic design machine had a graphic card that crapped out extra early. Plenty of spots would recommend Apple. Haven't gone too deep on Linux so no idea if software and live performance will work on that consistently and reliably. Generally use mostly Windows 10 these days.

If anyone has any insights or recommendations on a lappy that checks my boxes I am all ears and eager for discussion!

RinseDrizzle ,

oOo, don't believe I've stumbled across that before! Mighty intriguing concept, I'll give it a gander.

Cheers for the plug 🤙

RinseDrizzle ,

Big ups for the thoughtful write up! I'll be sure to add that to my list as I dig in deeper.

I'm graciously able to say I'm finally, finally at a stage where I have a lil extra fun money to play with. No Daddy Warbucks, but we can actually think about toys I've had on the wish list for ages. For something that I'll be using for gigs I'm absolutely able to see value investing in something that will help me hone my craft.

Certainly in no rush; I'd rather measure twice and purchase once. (Well maybe a bit of a rush lol that summer fomo will kick into high gear any minute now fuck me it's basically April lol)

Appreciate you, have a great weekend! 🤙

RinseDrizzle ,

Damn decent of you, cheers! 🍻.

I very well may take you up on that. Shouldn't be too hard to justify a second new toy either 😂

RinseDrizzle ,

Elden Ring... soo.. lots of murder

RinseDrizzle ,

Lol definitely could argue theft and property damage too.

RinseDrizzle ,

There's a sweet spot for sure. With FromSoft games the best strategy was often sleeping on it for a day. Gives the brain time to defrag and better learn moves, timing, etc. Coming back to Sekiro after an extended hiatus was pretty brutal though.

RinseDrizzle ,

Lol I mean, I think down votes are more for tone, but while I'll love to see this proven wrong I wouldn't bet on it. Tough sitch.

RinseDrizzle ,

In short, liability laws are a bastard in a country with no national healthcare rights.

RinseDrizzle ,

I understand some of these words.

RinseDrizzle ,

Lmao bye Felicia
