- Comment on What's the point of the "Airport Security" (aka: TSA) in the USA? Does the "Airport Security" ever actually scare away potential terrorists? 2 days ago:
Others have mentioned how bad the TSA is, but with they aren’t mentioning is why it is so bad. It’s basically the third rail of . As soon as a politician starts to suggest that we redo the TSA they are accused of being weak on security and weak on terrorism. So because of it, there’s no real way to change what exist all they can do is add another layer. And yet the bad part or messed up part is still in place. Even TSA agents know that half of what they’re doing doesn’t make any sense.
And by the way, when I say half that’s a figure of speech, not a literal.
If the TS agent doesn’t do exactly what the rules require they’re just fired. Once you get fired from a government job good luck on ever getting another job in the government.
Instead of the politician, sitting down and asking what is working and what is not working and rebuilding the TSA. It’s just used as a for political, cheap shots and a way to attack the other side. Both Democrats and Republicans are doing the exact same thing. Anybody who says otherwise just lying to themselves
Insane amount of money are spent for just a small benefit. Meanwhile, it screws up travel time. There’s a reason why some people stand in for hours just to get on an airplane.

Sorry about the extremely long delay. I’ve started both and gotten a fair amount into them (yeah I know should have started one finished it then did the other, but didn’t work out that way) but at this point I’d say yes. Release them at the same time.

- Comment on Is there a way on an iPhone when you go into the Photos viewer do you have it only show videos with a simple click? 1 week ago:
Except she didn’t scroll. Just unlocked the phone and tapped photos. Maybe a possible accidental long press somewhere
- Comment on How would you forgive someone that poisoned your dog when they only offer bad faith apology ? 1 week ago:
I think it depends on the context. Was the poisoning accidentally, unintentional because of not realize a dog can’t have that item, or left poison out for something else and the dog somehow got into it? Context is important.
- Comment on How would you forgive someone that poisoned your dog when they only offer bad faith apology ? 1 week ago:
I need more context.
What do you mean by bad faith apology. Be specific.

That takes some long ass arms. Although you could use your toes, but the down side is you might break your toe when then gun goes off.
- Comment on Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome? 4 weeks ago:
So you are saying a person can’t possibly get addicted to legal drugs then when those drugs are cut off they can’t possibly turn to illegal drugs?
You are saying that a person can’t get addicted to drugs for other reasons? Ex: mental health issues that aren’t being fixed?

That is a good point. He could die of a heart attack on national TV and Maga would find a way to claim something else happened.

I haven’t had a drink since before the turn of the century. You better belive I’m having a drink, when that fucker dies. I’d piss on his grave if I could find it and not get arrested doing it.

- Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38] 5 weeks ago:
Most of them are a pain in the ass to properly clean. My mom has a ninja air fryer. There is no way to remove the top grate. The grease builds up in it.

For those that missed… Yes I’m joking
- Comment on What is stopping the vice president from ever murdering the president? 1 month ago:
The president Can’t be held accountable is one thing. The vp as far as I know (if the vp killed the president) would need certain people in the cabinet to make him president. They’d have to sign off on it.
But of they signed off on it then really at this point nothing stops it
