Hill I will always stand my ground on:
It is absolutely unreasonable & dangerous to forbid people from bringing their own water into a music venue (or anywhere else) unless you're providing free filtered water inside. Selling bottled water is not a substitute.

And don't even give me excuses about people putting vodka in their water bottle. People also bring pills & gummies or they pre-drink at home. Deal with that problem directly.

Don't run a fucking dehydration extortion scheme.

@LilahTovMoon The only power that man has, as long as he is a private citizen, is the willingness of others to break the law on his behalf. That's it. Break that chain and he is no longer a threat.

What I really want from technology these days is passivity. Physical buttons, and PASSIVITY.

No guessing, no anticipating, no predicting.
No autofill, no autocorrect, no autodrive and PLEASE God no autoplay.
