So this IS about antisemitism and conflating behavior of individuals on the entire group.

Yes you did. One’s nationality has nothing to do with their religion and discriminating against people from a certain nation, especially current and e former military members engaging in genocide has absolutely nothing to do with religious discrimination. Go peddle your nonsense on Facebook. I’m sure it’ll get more traction there.

Why does every image on the site look like it was taken with a potato from 1985?

Ive never once been asked to show ID at the gate on any domestic flight in the US and fly several times a year. On this most recent trip I was asked to show my passport when boarding in Honolulu to Tokyo and again when boarding in Osaka to Honolulu but that’s it.

Someone else mentioned that gate agents can see your photo when they scan your boarding pass and someone else pointed out that you have to already be cleared by TSA pre-check to even make it this far, so it’s not something I’m even concerned about. I was just answering the question of how someone could swap places with a ticket holder to board a flight.

This person also “confirmed” above that anyone speaking negatively about tourists from Israel is being “antisemetic” too. Just your typical propaganda pusher.

Literally nowhere did I ask you for a source and the fact that you’re ignoring my request to quote me asking that just proves that you know I’m right.

Now you want to derail the discussion because you know your idea makes no sense, so you want to avoid discussing it any further. It’s a nonsensical idea rooted in smugness, bitterness, and wanting to feel superior to everyone else for having “the most extreme take” just like the “FuckCars” people who think everyone should be shamed for not riding a bicycle everywhere despite that being an impossibility for most in this country.

I’d love to but this guy thinks airplanes shouldn’t exist and I can’t afford to waste 6 weeks of vacation on a boat ride to Europe.

I did ride the bullet train and local trains all over Tokyo and Osaka and agree they’re fantastic, cheap, and efficient. That’s a goal to strive for. “Airplanes shouldn’t exist” is nonsense and counterproductive to progress.

Please point out where I “asked you for a source.” I stated I don’t know where you’re getting your ideas from because your grand vision only exists in a mythical fantasyland not anywhere on this planet.

This idea also doesn’t accomplish anything other than making people write your opinions off entirely since it makes little sense and would bring harm to tons of people with zero benefits.

First world countries with good public transportation use airplanes too, so I’m not sure where you’re sourcing your ideas from. Transporter technology is clearly the better option.

Have you ever been on a Amtrak before? Its a joke too. You might as well be advocating that we all use transporter technology instead. Furthermore, how do you cross an ocean on a train?

You give your boarding pass to someone else and they get on the plane instead. Doesn’t seem that complicated.

TSA is a big reason for the chaos.

I just had a very eye opening trip to Japan and back and their airport security is very simple and quick. The TSA agent at security checking ID is replaced with an a turnstile where you scan your boarding pass. That equivalent employee is instead at one of a dozen baggage scanners moving that line through much quicker. Everything is is run through metal detectors instead of mmWave machines where TSA gets to examine your nude body. It literally took me less than 5 minutes to get through. Meanwhile on my layover in Honolulu, the “10 minute” security line had over a hundred people trying to get through a single body scanner and wasn’t budging an inch.

Furthermore, the gate waiting area had tons of couches and other padded seating, tons of restaurants and high end shops, food court areas, smoking lounges, shower rooms, etc. Airports and airport security in this country is a fucking joke.

Thank goodness Good Morning America is giving this woman’s lawyer a platform to speak directly to the president of the United States. This is certainly the most pressing issue the country faces today.

We were recently forced to take AI training at work and this was exactly one of the training scenarios used, a financial analyst who needs to send a report to the CFO could just dump all the documents into Gemini and send the output out so that they didnt have to spend any time actually reading the corporate financial reports. I was horrified when I heard it but apparently we’re all supposed to have faith in our new AI overlords and put the pedal to the metal accelerating toward iur own demise.

They also did this when they removed port forwarding. I was expecting at least a couple hoops to jump through but they did it immediately upon request.

You might be shocked to learn that meth is Schedule II alongside Adderall and Vicodin while weed and ecstasy are Schedule I (no medical benefit).

My theory is that either its from people deleting associated files like .srt and .txt or companies intentionally sabotaging torrents so that it looks like they’re being seeded still but not fully.

In any case, the times this has happened to me I’ll try to play the file and most times it works still.

The US auto industry is so much more vast than US companies. We only have a few remaining ones, but everyone pretends like American brands are all that exist here in discussions like this.

So far ahead in what way? We’re talking about powering electric motors not building pico-scale computer processors. The difficult advancements in EVs is with the battery technology and battery technology is not specific to EVs themselves. We’ve been building cars for over a hundred years at this point so the rest of the car building process is already well established here.

Thats because people only vote for one of two parties therefore neither party needs to do anything to secure their votes. All they have to do is convince you that the other party is/would be worse rather than actually doing things that benefit people or have a real impact.
