I think there are some requirements, might not be fair, but they exist. Also I'm pretty sure wanting to blow up a plane is one of them.

Okay that's true but if we circle back to my original point, it would seem that asking to see ID makes sense from a security standpoint.

If a person has no weapons and still is "too dangerous" to be on a plane, why are they not in jail?

I think that's the point, they'll get arrested if they try to fly. Doesn't that make things more secure?

What makes the real ID real?

There is no actual proven security reason for the TSA collecting this information.

That doesn't sound right. If there's a list of wanted or potentially dangerous terrorists or criminals, and I provide ID showing that I am not one of those people, isn't that a security reason for showing ID?

With an electrical fire in a ballroom full of 900 of Trump's enablers and the doors fail to open due to corner cutting?

You clearly didn't follow my logic.

Unfortunatly I don't have the means to help you, good luck.

If you want to have a romantic partner in the future then I suggest you figure this stuff out.

You could empathize with them, if they're open to it then maybe ask why it keeps happening. You could also say nothing if it's a stranger on the internet. If this person is important to you then yeah, tell better them how strong and brave they are and how stupid and mean that wall is. There's a time and place for constructive criticism.

Who shouldn't be taking care of themselves? Everybody and nobody. It's supposed to work so that if you need help you get help and if you can help then you give help.

It's a common trait of young people, often young men. I used to be one, guilty of it myself. "You're the problem" stems from a lack of sympathy, because they haven't had many bad things happen to them, emotional nuance, because they're young, and lastly they're taught to be independent and "solely responsible for their situations." Therefore it's extremely frustrating for people like this to care about others because someone who needs care is antithetical to what they've been taught, and they're taking care of themselves so why can't you, weak person?

I want to emphasize that people like this are not bad people. They are probably kind and caring and everything people should be, but they can't stand people not taking care of themselves. They can learn, and I suspect most do when they get older.

then the 'concerned' people start invading it and want to sanitize it so that it's 'inviting' to non-enthusiasts and they start policing everyone the way they police themselves. And their primary concern is not the idea or hobby, but it's presentation being as 'acceptable' to as broad a spectrum of people as possible...

I've encountered this first hand with anti-tankies. I was questioning their concern about .ml, suggesting they were being counterproductive and were actually advertising .ml, and several people responded that they're scared new users will find .ml and be so offended that they'll leave lemmy. It seems ridiculous to me that an average user would care about retaining and maximizing users on lemmy. Why would someone care? It doesn't make sense. This is lemmy, it's never going to be cool. It's where a bunch of nerds argue. People should go back to reddit if they want size and an echo chamber.

Oh, so just like me.
