[OC] Spotted on a road which is funded by my taxes
  • All true. Most of the argument about free travel isn't about taxes per se. It's about being able to travel on those for which you paid taxes without further restrictive encumbrance. I'm sorry arguing for that but at the same time I understand the constitutional case for it.

  • I'm not sure the book has been closed on this one. You don't have to be a sov citizen to read the constitution and know that laws get passed all the time that violate civil rights for instance. Laws get overturned when they are challenged and someone has standing. Appeals courts are issuing rulings all the time that reverse what many assume was iron clad and untouchable. Jimmy YouTuber could be wrong but if he tests it and appeals with standing, we might just be surprised by the outcome.

  • Comparable
  • I ate some Mexican food with a bunch of jalapenos and it gave me the worst monkey claw. I almost passed out from the pain. I could have used an epidural for those waves of ass labor but there I was alone on the throne.

  • Anon has trauma
  • Seatbelts do cause injury (bruising, hematoma, etc) with hard impact but it’s usually a better outcome than being ejected from the vehicle and then having brains ejected from your skull..

  • Intel is laying off over 15,000 employees and will stop ‘non-essential work’
  • Traditional QA is horse and buggy shit anyway. Shift left and make your tests the requirements (ATDD). Testing is self service, automated and there's zero delta between behavior intended and behavior tested. Put product owners on the hook to learn Gherkin and Bob's your uncle.

  • Outrage after French MP says Israelis 'not welcome' at Olympics
  • I'd like to request my tax dollars stay the fsck out of religious conflict as well. This has been going on for thousands of years. I don't believe in unicorns and leprechauns but I do believe there are many serious issues to solve that have nothing to do with imaginary deities.

  • Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face.
  • Opt out. If we don't exercise our rights, we lose them.

    "What if they retaliate and make life difficult for me? "

    That's both illegal and against policy. If someone delays your right to travel for this specific reason, delay their job by asking for their supervisor and their name and employee number. Then file a complaint. That will dissuade that public servant (and their leadership) from exhibiting such behavior and encouraging it respectively.

    "But they are capturing your image in 10 skillion other public locations."

    1. Sure, and you have the option to create your own privacy in public.
    2. Further, what's the real purpose of the scanner at the TSA check if they already have that detailed image of your retina, your facial pore patterns and whatever the fsck else they store? They don't have that level of detail yet on CCTV.

    If you don't care, then that's fine. Some people don't mind the slow encroachments on 4th Amendment protections. Cool. Others do. Cool also. That's why we can opt out.
