The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It’s just water in a can. How did Liquid Death become a billion-dollar brand? (www.nbcnews.com)

Wait hold on, so someone buys tickets to an event, show up, and have to buy canned water.

What, in your imagination, should be the next steps so they "don't consent to being abused"?

Don’t go to that venue again

[–] papertowels@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

Doesn't sound very instant to me

Bring your own water.

[–] papertowels@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In my experience many venues do not let you bring your own water

Hence the abuse...

[–] papertowels@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Okay, so what's the instant solution here? Apparently it's as easy as not consenting.

[–] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thought I was agreeing with you...

[–] papertowels@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

Oh we're definitely both in agreement that they're being dicks. My issue is that the original comment I replied to is essentially victim blaming folks by saying "all you need to do is not consent, boom, problem instantly solved".

Based on everyone else's input (notably OP neglected to reply), it's clear that the best you can do is not go to the venue and hope that results in systemic change.

I wouldn't bet on that solution.
