Oh you absolutely do "show problem," but the mercury affected you in a way that prevents you from seeing it.

Spot on. Make it known in advance so people can make informed decisions.

Thanks for something new to read up on, I've never heard of virtue signaling before. Perhaps I'm out of touch. If I had to guess it would have something to do with me expressing my opinions and you not agreeing with them and feeling a little hurt?

I can see why you went there, but I consider a roof over your head and a place to buy food a little bit different than going to a show. You can listen to music at home, but you can't pull a roof or food off the internet, yet.

Thank you for your insight. You're obviously more knowledgable than I am on the subject, and you could very well be right about the cause for the price of the coworkers meds.

My initial point was that one should not assume all diabetics are overweight. I've dealt also with gestational diabetes among members of my family, so I have done some research, though am not as well versed as you are.

... and third post, I just re-read what I'd replied to, and you're right. They claim to agree to not infringe upon said medical equipment and please ignore my jumping to the wrong conclusions. Sorry if I got your blood up, my mistake.

Second post, upon reflection I may have responded to the wrong post. Are you talking about the TSA or going to a concert? I'm not being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative.

Bullshit on your horseshit. Nobody is forcing you to go see a show if your life is dependent on your use of your cellphone. They aren't taking it away and refusing to give it back the second you walk through the door. You can still say "no thanks, my life depends upon this device and I'd rather keep it, I'll move on and would like a refund, thank you"

Fair enough, it's action->reaction at it's simplest. You want more rigid rules? Sure, great, deal with the consequences of lower attendance.

I'm not the one to pull out my phone and hold it up for 30 minutes recording part of a set, but if I get a message I'll check it, and I also don't want to give it up, so like you, won't be going to those shows. I do still think the artist can ask for whatever they want though.

Also I fucked up grammar elsewhere, SOSUMI. Natalie Portman, hot grits, frist post.

*has.

No, in fact they had the nerve to post under their actual account. As the AC below you mentioned, you missed a few. I'm sure you could have thrown in a cuck or beta or something else too. I hope this have given you a few insights as to how better up your trolling game.

There likely wasn't a response because it's a huge edge-case. It probably came up in a meeting at some point, and someone said "if that ever happens, we'll deal with it then."

I've heard anecdotal evidence of a person here or there that was stopped by TSA for a colostomy bag or non-phone-based insulin pump. You've got a someone basically making minimum wage trying to "follow the rules" so they don't lose their job. It's embarrassing as fuck if you're the one it happens to you, but there should be some understanding, flowing both ways.

Well, you pretty much said it, most people can't be decent people anymore. I'm not a fan of the artist mentioned here, but I do think an artist should be able to perform under conditions they'd like to perform. Siouxsie Sioux for example has -- in the past -- been a stickler for venue temperature when she performs because her vocal chords could be damaged otherwise. While that could suck if you didn't know you should dress warmer or colder to what you're used to, that's her livelihood.

I wouldn't expect people at an opera to be holding up their phones and carrying on with random conversations either. Don't like the rules, don't go.

So I guess I both agree and disagree with you. It's your money, you do what you want with it, but you could miss out on some great performances just because you don't want to give up your "right" to something.

Shit. Yes, I actually do. I meant to write $1000/mo. Mea Culpa.
