Got a lot of attitude when telling them I preferred to opt out. Signs posted everywhere informing you of the right and the agent felt so put upon when asked. To the point that I mentioned to supervisor and she tried to over apologize like she cares and was going to talk to the agent, but she didn't give a shit. It's an intimidation/peer pressure thing, also they do scan your face, and then you can ask them to discard after the fact... But how many of us think that data is actually "gone" after they've collected it?

More likely you still have a scan somewhere in system, now just with an added flag labeling you as a difficult

Regimental...

Feels like a great time for a competitor to explicitly state that you in fact, do own your account on their site. Nuance to that as tech bros is always gonna be tech bros (and blue sky is also tech bros, just with temporary infective to say "nah man, it's cool baby..." for the time being while they build market share). But basically stating that you have full ownership and responsibility to manage your account, and that management transfers along with any kind of power of attorney shift or through any other related court actions

Think there's a lot of false premise and privileged POV in your statements here about your perception of reality.

Certainly not "fine mostly" by the major tangible measures that might contribute to a blanket statement like that attempting some basis in evidence. Maybe most counter to your position is the fact that the entire world is sliding right generally, most likely as an immature, frightened reaction to COVID-blamed inflation and opportunistic corporate price gouging. Among that, the lesser informed likely think that there is some "conservative" force that would reign things in - It's the idea that "Daddy will fix it", but in reality daddy never actually did fix anything when you were small, you just felt safe when he was there when you were a child. And Daddy isn't here anymore anyway - the person that would be daddy is headbutting windows at the US Capitol and asking Siri "how do you make pipe-bombs filled with liberal shit"

Also false equivalency with the Obama guns things - in that case, a lot of racist, conservative dickheads stockpiled weapons/ammo as a gut reaction and frankly a hope for a "race war", marinating in their always assumed victimhood, simply because a HALF black person was president. Versus now, where severely, actively threatened minority communities feel that they will potentially be forced into camps because of credible threats by the presumptive president elect gop do just that. So yes, now a few, exaggerated by media, are getting gun training and basic weapons out of fear of the collapsing world they observe first hand around them as the very real threat of someone kicking in their door in the not too distant future.

But I'm sure things are "fine mostly" for you. 401k doing okay? Still get your two full weeks in the Bahamas this summer vacation? Mom and Dad still paying your car insurance and cell phone bills on time?

Yeah... that's not a strength of that society. It's a failure. It's stepping over bodies on the street to go have a Sunday stroll in the park.

And your position is also self-apologist bullshit that helps you personally alleviate an inherent guilt you hold. You feel "accused" by nobody in particular so you state (again, to no one in particular) that "they" (you) don't need to feel bad for being a selfish prick in this moment.

The whole Russian project was to have our "polite society" collapse as we, as Americans, lost all faith in our institutions and turned against one another and in the process, also lost any kind of collective identity, which makes us a weaker target externally. That happened.

It's crazy to me, looking back, how much this was openly discussed along the way, as it successfully happened in slow motion over the last 10-15 years - wasn't there also a book released that just laid their strategy bare? If there are historians in the future, will be amazing to read the perspective on all of this with time and analysis from those not trapped within the cycle of death and hopelessness.

Curl is a good avatar for all these stubborn, ignorant conservatives wearing cowboy hats they didn't earn, forever in their daddy's shadow.

Just think about the sad, long life of Janet... This man's first cousin and long time beard that microwaves his Hormel chili each night.

That narrow-hipped man's blouse says, "Yeah I suck dicks, but I spits out the cum cuz I ain't gay brother!!!"

Merrick Garland needs to be remembered by history as an all time coward. The way we use Machiavelli to label a traitor, we need to use Garland to denote the most limp, failed and feckless human being.

Here's everything you need, press this one button and the majority of the country will celebrate you perpetually and history will call you a hero... Doesn't lift a finger, throws up down the front of his shirt, falls asleep.

Fuck Merrick Garland, without qualification.

False premise... not wanting Palestinian babies to be slaughtered en masse is not anti-Semitism. Fuck that.

There isn't a far right and "far left" equivalency - one side are fascists and the other are anti fascists. Opposition of objective evil is NOT an extreme, it's a baseline position.

Quiet propaganda, like this comment, did a lot to bring our broken society to this point.

"So reading all the comments here:"

Already told on yourself - We all know you can't read.

Have your fun here on the internet today, but just remember this "high" when your grandkids tell you you're not invited to Christmas one day. The people around you see the garbage you are in full color. They see the world you didn't care to save on their behalf. Enjoy that fucking loneliness and crawl to your forums for the only illusion of validation you'll have left at that point, from a fucking bot.

Chud.

X never was. Twitter is dead though

You sound like a scoundrel...

"You can drown out the screams and dance if you just hustle hard enough!"

This post should be the Mayor of Earth.

This needs to be a series.

Next is with one of them holding an "Abortion is murder" sign while the other says, let them finish my procedure first, it's medically necessary.

Your fucking snek is gonna get stepped on

"A convicted felon and sex offender wants to control your next country"

We all see you. Isn't enough praying in the world to make that fire in you burn out...
