I mean…

And what I’m saying is it doesn’t take more time to opt out in my experience. Its just as quick to get manually verified as to be biometrically scanned.

¯\(ツ)/¯ maybe, but as long as I have the option and it’s not tedious to do so (which is the case), I’m gonna opt out and encourage others to do so. Fair enough if your perspective is you want to accept whatever new security theater data collection is implemented in exchange for some perceived convenience. Making your case here with me in this conversation has taken more effort on your part than opting out of facial recognition at the security checkpoint in an airport would have, and I find that fact amusingly ironic.

I’ve been in and out of DFW, BOS, and JFK since these facial recognition scanners went in and I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that there’s no additional wait time, or queue, or anything else if you opt out. There’s a TSA agent right next to the scanner who collects your ID whether you get scanned or not. That’s the same person who otherwise just checks it if you opt out. What are you even on about? Maybe its different at some airports, but I’ve been opting out every time I fly and it’s no big deal.

Actually no, they look at your face and your ID, make sure the information matches, and move you along. No secondary inspection, no difference except you didn’t get scanned with facial recognition. It’s the same process as before facial recognition was implemented.

Why even write that comment?

Hey, I’m not disagreeing with you here, but keep in mind none of those things are necessary for survival, and most such products can last decades if properly maintained.

I think you’re arguing against the most extreme interpretation of what this person said.

To give you an example, I’ll show you what it looks like if I were to interpret your comment in the same way:

In some capacity, you have to admit, self sufficiency is possible. Forged metal, magnets, and batteries aren’t necessary to sanitize water, grow, forage or hunt food, or to build shelter.

I think that’s how they said “gold digger” ~2700 years ago

I laughed out loud at this. Thank you.

S6E4 Game Changers dropped literally yesterday and you wasted no time recycling the joke

My solution is to host a virtual machine with my dev workstation, and use Windows or Mac for business admin stuff like email, slack, etc.

Are you sure there’s a conspiracy here, and not just a bunch of folks laughing at and copying a popular meme format?

Because its funny, I like Taylor a lot, no one is totally guiltless. This isn’t about making people accountable, its about making people laugh.

Got a link? That sounds extremely interesting!

It doesn’t have to be a compromise

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Any change to appease you would be a compromise, you understand this, yes?

This reminds me of when I made spaghetti and meatballs pizza. It was amazing. The spaghetti crisped up slightly on the edges, creating a satisfying crunch. Will make again.

Oh my god, you get it. Thank you for your continued existence. Keep going!
