Nothing. Are you saying there is something wrong with badass John Oliver? Or with evil John Oliver? Stop typecasting him. He is more than just his sexy looks!
That's a classic reddit moment. There's such a good community on that website, it's tragic that reddit wants to use that against itself.
These kind of protest won't reduce the traffic on the platform though. They might even gain traction and increase it. If it's not linked to reduced ad revenue, I'm afraid it's counter-productive.
Yeah they should've gone with something even more specific - like pictures of Joe Biden eating ham sandwiches. Something with limited content options so that the sub is essentially forced to become inactive.
I think their way was better. It lets the giant number of subscribers have fun and engage, while also screwing the Reddit execs. They'll eventually get bored and it will be the same result.
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.
Heh, back in my call centre days we used this neat little app called Caffeine. No installation required, just double click and stay online for the whole shift.
Like my office. We got new thinclients and someone who doesn't know how the rest works decided that these clients have to lock the user out after one minute of inactivity.
Since I very often read articles or forum posts or are in remote sessions to get shown by a user what kind of issue they encounter, I constantly get booted out. I tried caffeine and it doesn't work. So now I constantly have to tab ctrl.. It's very helpful when I'm reading...
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.
The 40 hour work week is outdated. I could easily get away with a 32 hour work week and get all of my work done. Here I am having been doing it the hard way and actually moving my mouse cursor every 10 minutes so my laptop doesn't go to sleep.
