Quote pyramids could definitely get out of hand but it was much easier on the eyes to see who said what. At least for me.

It's to discourage quote pyramids.
Ok, no really, I have no idea why it's been changed. Systems thing with the new Wowhead News.
But why would they return now when it's the original set up for quote boxes....also, really tempted to just fix up the box with quote tags and see what happens......

Tommorow, the annual Rainbow Pride March is taking place in Slovakia. If you do not know it, it's the event where (mostly) homosexual people gather and make a peaceful protest sorta. Well that's how it works here, it's to raise awareness of the LGBT community in Slovakia. I assume in countries with legalized homosexual partnership and better tolerance for homosexuality, it could just be an amusing event, like a carnival or something, who knows.
Anyway, you know how I posted the thing about Bratislava in the "where do you live" topic? Well... let me translate something for you. It's a list of safety regulations, posted on the Facebook page of the Slovak Pride.
Do not attend Pride by yourself. Come in the company of someone else.
Listen to the instructions of the organizers and the national security (my note: Yes, the national security units are always deployed and they always surround the entire location where the event is held, like a living wall. Because the scum of the Earth is right on the other side.). Do not go out of the safely surrounded area by yourself. Before leaving the surrounded area, put down all your rainbow accessories. Ideally, try to leave Pride followed by a person of the opposite gender. Hold your hands if you have to. Be polite to police men, do not flirt with them.
Do not wear sandals or high heels. Ideally, bring comfortable sport shoes.
Do not start up any conflicts. Do not respond to the screaming from the protesters. Do not argue with them.
Whatever happens, do not panic.
Do not touch canisters with tear gas
, they are very hot. Pride staff will always be available with bottles of water, so you can clean your eyes if needed. If there would be rocks flying, protect yourself with your backpack, handbag, or banner. You can use them as a shield.
When the event ends, all attendants will be transported home safely by special buses.
I left out all the fluff that was supposed to make it lighter and less scary, so I assure you that this translation of mine is definitely scarier than the real instructions, but all of the translations I made are actually accurate and present in it, word by word. Using the transparent as a shield too.
edit: replaced "transparent" with "banner".

What is "a transparent"? I know the word as an adjective, but not as a noun.

That really heartbreaking, Thror. I'm glad the police are willing to risk themselves to protect them.

I don't think it's English, but I know some other languages it is banner.

Oh, sorry, I forgot "transparent" is not the english term. Yes, it is a banner.

I really wanted to attend it too, but it's right on my sister's wedding day.

And Thror, that's pretty scary, but at least they are allowed to parade. That's a privy gay people in venezuela don't have.
To give you an idea of how bad is it: In an attempt to squeeze even more votes, chavez a few years back dipped his toes in the water about this issue saying that "maybe" he'd consider at some point in the future legalize gay marriage.
Cue even the most ardent chavez ultranationalist zealots protesting on the streets, flags burned, riots, and screams of THE SKY IS FALLING. Needless to say chavez backpedaled so fast he probably broke the pedals in the process.
For shame.

So today I went outside in a bikini to paint and when I ran out of space on the paper I just painted on myself. *sane*
Very sane.

In comparison to me, that probably is very sane.
