Covering sucks. Nursing is hot before you have to put a sweaty blanket on, babies want to make eye contact while they're nursing because it's about connection and not just nourishment and in my experience, once they're old enough to grab the cover, they'll just throw it off their face and expose your titty anyway.
As it turns out, having my tits out publicly didn't lead to complete societal collapse, no matter how much I hoped it would.
Good. The rule is stupid and deserves to be worked around. Water is essential. I hate when I go to these kinds of public places and they give you no option to get water other than bringing it yourself. Poor logistics on the part of the event organizers.
I think these rules are intended to be malicious. If you want to make it hard for people to organize but just banning them is illegal, the next step is to just make it super uncomfortable for them to hang around, so, no water.
It doesn't look like the rule is from the event organizers. Most likely local government who want's the money from the event while keeping the turnover high so that people will come, spend their money, and fuck off as soon as possible.
This is often (but not always!) done at events where either the organizers, or the permitting government, suspects that people may use drugs and want to "discourage" such behavior.
TBH that just makes it more of a human rights violation.
I went to a club in NYC 20-ish years ago and they were selling bottled water for $6 a bottle (in 2001!) The bathrooms only had hot water so no one could refill. It was also quite hot in the main room. Scumbags.
Well, that's because it isn't right. But this sort of backwards thinking is extremely common in anti drug policy.
The RAVE Act and crack house laws only punish organizers who knowingly allow drug use to happen at their events or premises...Rave organizers told Anderson that, as a result, they try to avoid looking like they're aware of drug use at their events...Some organizers don't even offer free bottled water to help prevent heat strokes, a potentially fatal side-effect of some drug use on the dance floor.
How does not selling watter discourages drug use? Like, i get that some drugs can or must be diluted in watter, but I know you can get high on most things without it. What was their logic? Drugs bad :c Heatstroke yay c:!??
You are on the right track but it is more malicious than that.
The drug deals done in dance clubs is generally the clubs own product being sold. In every jurisdiction in the US essentially, establishments that serve alcohol are by law required to serve free water. If some suckers spend the $6 on water, cool, but otherwise, those water bottles are the best way to hide drug profits.
Ever wonder why DJs are spraying the crowd down with bottled water from the bar and it isn't just part of the clubs set design? They gotta get rid of the inventory.
