Yesterday was nowhere near the level of Metallica; that show at the racetrack was an absolute mess, whereas this gig at Central Park is actually decent by comparison.

But let’s be clear: some rubber boot isn't going to fix a disaster, nor will a plastic bag over your shoes get you through this.

How are the injured guys doing?

Jesse Campbell said:First off, it’s acting like the SS was rounding people up just to film them, while ISIS was out there beheading people—and I didn't even notice anyone getting slaughtered, let alone anything more extreme. Besides, Facebook is flooded with photos taken by regular people; I doubt they all had high-end intelligence agency gear.

Second, just because an event is a massive spectacle doesn't mean the rules don't apply like they do in the stands. It would be ridiculous if someone’s jaw got broken—WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN—but asking people nicely not to take photos is perfectly reasonable.

If you want to snap photos and record everything, go to the side bleachers and do your thing.

Third, after every single big event, we end up back on this forum complaining about manufactured drama, like that whole mess regarding the British flag last time.

Look, guys, someone actually has to organize all of this. People are working their asses off to make it happen. If you have enough energy to sit here typing, maybe use some of it to help the people who are actually putting in the work so a few thousand people can show up and enjoy something incredible. Show some decency and help out.

So what, am I supposed to just delete every photo on my phone now? 🤔

Two and a half, three and a half, four and a half, a dollar and a half, a man and a half...

The vibe is great. Kids and adults alike are just laughing and having a good time. We keep moving forward.

Man, that really burns you in the back. 🤣

We should organize a local referendum with legally sound, well-crafted questions aimed at dismantling the current mafia influence and preventing similar cronyism from taking root afterward. This would be legally binding for our institutions. Ideally, this could coincide with the elections for the next batch of bureaucrats in that overpriced, marginalized theater known as the European Parliament scheduled for May 2014, just to keep the referendum costs to an absolute minimum.
If people are out there collecting signatures for marginal nonsense like script styles or marriage laws—vague distractions meant to divert attention from the desperate state of the country—while fans are being arrested left and right, then that energy and those people should be redirected toward constructive volunteering. We need to focus on signature collection and marketing for a real referendum, especially now that the establishment figures in the city have hit rock bottom in terms of popularity.

If you consider things like script styles or marriage laws to be marginal nonsense, then you’ve essentially turned Dinamo itself into a vague distraction and a triviality. Everyone claims to want democracy, yet they spit on legitimate democratic processes whenever it doesn't serve their specific interests. A referendum on anything? Absolutely. Since we don't have a government that actually breathes with the people. I wouldn't mind "wasting" 15 minutes on any given Sunday to circle something on a ballot that actually relates to me and carries weight. Your proposal for a local referendum is solid. It would be the best 15 minutes I've ever spent.

I just had the screening done at Mercury a few days ago. The whole thing cost exactly $100.
The process has two parts. First, you blow into a bag, then they have you drink a glass of fruit juice mixed with a specific solution. You wait about half an hour before they call you back in to blow into the bag one last time. That’s really it. Results usually come back within an hour.

My advice? Show up right at 8:00 AM and you’ll likely be out of there by 10:00.
Just make sure you book an appointment in advance and go on an empty stomach. Also, you can't take any stomach antibiotics for at least a month beforehand.
