  • Every Time I Die. It was a very small venue, the stage was like 2 feet off the ground and I was front row. No barriers or bodyguards, you could just reach out and touch them. The ceiling had pretty low beams and people were hanging from them at times.

    They let people on the stage and if they lingered too long, theyd shove them off. They put on a wild show, interacting with everyone and just going crazy. That venue didn’t last long, it was open for 2 years and shut down after a zoning violation and some other issues.

    Honestly I’ve never had that much fun at another show. I’ve been blown away by several performances, but the energy has never topped that one.



  • I’ve ordered from them a few times. I wanted to see how bad the products are and they give new members a pretty good deal.

    The products are generally better than wish, but they are still hit or miss. Think dollar tree quality for most things. I can’t recommend electronics. Most of them are extremely cheap and won’t last. There is a lot of etsy art/designs stolen and resold. Prints tend to be lesser quality because they don’t have access to the original files.

    They will spam you with notifications/emails whatever else they can and constantly tell you there are deals to get free things, but most of the time it stops you from getting the free item without inviting people or making multiple orders. Many of their big coupon offers they advertise like $200 off coupon is actually multiple little coupons that equal $200 off, but you’d need to spend hundreds to actually redeem them all.

    Still, I’ve gotten some things from there that aren’t bad. Those cardboard cat scratchers? You can find them for 1/3rd of the price and they are the same quality as any major store.

    I will always recommend to shop local if you can, but a lot of us don’t have that choice, and some of us can’t afford it anyways.


  • I was on Reddit for over 10 years, but I had less than 10 posts. There were many times I’d miss that it was image only day, or my post would be grouped into some category that wasn’t allowed, even though I never thought it would fit that category. I have social anxiety so when my post wouldn’t make it through, I’d feel like an idiot for not understanding the rules.

    I developed this habit where I type out a post and then never submit it. I’ve been trying to break the habit for a few years now. Lemmy needs more activity, so I at least try to comment every once in a while to add conversation. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to make my own posts again.
