I was about to say what u/SaffellBot said more eloquently.

Humans are weird 😉

Agreed, with no context this is just confusing. Like, is it a straight couple in a double wedding? Poor choice in bridesmaids dresses?

You mean the free child booster seat that used to appear on my doorstep every year?

People have different life experiences and do different things, you nematode. Think before you speak.

After beating up his master, a former slave named Bass Reeves escaped to freedom during the Civil War. And years later, he became one of the most feared lawmen in the Wild West. As the first Black Deputy U.S. Marshal to patrol the region, Reeves reportedly arrested 3,000 outlaws. by TheBipolarExpresss in Damnthatsinteresting

I love drunk history, it's legit. And they went out of their way to cast appropriately too - wherever possible you have in-group actors. The Wall Street riots, Alcatraz occupation, and ADA episodes are all great examples of that

It seems he's evolved a sense of humor about himself, at least a little. It's nice to see the redemption arc. It's a shame Dustin Diamond didn't get that far.

Ugh that's no fun either.

It's mostly my right ear. I just wish I had a cool reason for it, like I was in a rock band or a roadie for Kiss or was in army artillery.

Nope, I'm just a nerd who spent too long around loud servers 🙃

Ex-Trump Lawyer Says Congress Already Has Evidence That Should ‘Easily’ Result in ‘Disqualification From Office Forever’ (Video) by norcalnatv in CapitolConsequences

Yes. And still, I have no expectation any of the top players will see proper justice. We had a chance with the second impeachment to strip the traitor in chief of his ex president status and justice was denied with some of the most blatantly false statements I've ever seen from Congress.

I will celebrate on the day justice is served, but I'm not buying party hats before the guillotine drops.

It's terrible. For they said, oh you can pick up your tickets or we can hold them at will call.

Then it was, we can mail them to you for a small fee.

Then, hey you can just print them on your own! But we're still charging a fee to do it.

Then it was, we're still charging the fee but you can just show the emailed ticket on your phone.

Now, apparently major ticket vendors are forcing people to install an app to show the ticket. In the name of fighting counterfeits.

Sure. And I'm sure that app totally doesn't scrape every piece of metadata it can to monetize you too.

Honestly I haven't been to a major concert for years, and I'm pretty done with them overall. Between ballooning ticket costs, crap like this, and exhausted bands on forever tours is just not worth it.

Oh and, without a proper paper ticket there's no physical momento of you bring at the concert. But I'm sure they'll sell you a $65 shirt or a $40 photo you can have signed for only $60 more...

Live, not a still or static image. Time based codes, moving bars etc.

And this right here is why I don't complain about booster seats. As annoying as they are when kids get older, they save lives.

"should" unfortunately doesn't seem to apply to him. Mocking a man's disability on national TV should have ended his campaign. So should taped admission of sexual assault. Blatant violations of the emoluments clause should have ended his holding office. And so on for dozens of examples.

The system is broken because one arm of the federal government has abdicated responsibility. We cannot hold presidents accountable.

And also a Drunk History, which isn't probably as factual but does feature Jaleel White...

Honestly with those kinds of festivals if I went to one it would probably be with a cheap burner phone. Just the evolution of "only take your ID and one card". I've done that for years at high risk events

I'm not sure, I have a thing in the wall that kind of looks like a network jack but smaller? that wire goes to another box that does ☆ﾟ. * ･ ｡ﾟ magic ☆ﾟ. * ･ ｡ﾟ and then connects to the internet.

A screenshot on your phone is a 1:1 representation of what's on your screen. It should be the same resolution or near enough the same for a camera-based barcode reader to scan.

Note, a screenshot is different than e.g. taking a picture of your computer screen with your phone. That may work but you need to have a clear photo and it's dependent on the complexity of the barcode.

If you took a screenshot and it didn't scan, either the original would have also been too small or something else changed. As others have said some of the tickets apparently have a time-based component, that may have been the case for you.
