popular mechanics 1963 tip, depicting the disposal of used engine oil into a gravel filled hole in the ground
(Please don't do this. Pour the old oil into the empty container and return it to the store for responsible disposal, or municipal hazardous waste facility, or whatever scheme exists in your location)

"Reverse racism" isn't really a thing.

The organisers make a thoughtful observation of existing positive discrimination widely accepted in pricing:

They also noted that staggered ticketing structures "are not uncommon".

"Discounted tickets are widely offered to various groups including seniors, students, unwaged, and locals to name a few. This structure exists beyond [the event] WAVES, and is utilised by businesses and organisations alike, in an effort to prioritise affordability for specific demographics."

Eggs are a bit curdled.

Flows nicely, but it's an inaccurate collage of plot elements.

  • Isildur lost the ring in a river.
  • Déagol found the ring in a river.
  • Sméagol killed Déagol for the ring.
  • Sméagol (now Gollum) lost the ring in a cave.
  • Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Frodo, Gollum, 🌋?

Gotta say, I don't read their posts as trolling. Perhaps some mildly trollish language in the first comment, but in the context of their further responses they do seem to have a critical but genuine and insightful perpective on the topic at hand.

Many countries around the world have been experiencing legislative overreach brought in under the guise of prohibiting racism/violence/antivax/etc, but written to effectively create a framework for suppressing any protest and discourse which any government of the day (and by extension their sponsors) can use to crack down on whatever they define as wrongthink.

That kind of predicted result strongly prompts the need to wrack our collective minds in search of a better solution, which I believe the commenter was trying to encourage.

So it sounds like an ID will not be a requirement.

Sure, but gov ID is permitted as an option if another non-ID option is also available.

Simply choose between submitting your government ID or, say, switch on your front facing camera so we can perform some digital phrenology to determine your eligibility.
