I mean…

BetterDev ,

Actually no, they look at your face and your ID, make sure the information matches, and move you along. No secondary inspection, no difference except you didn’t get scanned with facial recognition. It’s the same process as before facial recognition was implemented.

Why even write that comment?

BetterDev ,

I’ve been in and out of DFW, BOS, and JFK since these facial recognition scanners went in and I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that there’s no additional wait time, or queue, or anything else if you opt out. There’s a TSA agent right next to the scanner who collects your ID whether you get scanned or not. That’s the same person who otherwise just checks it if you opt out. What are you even on about? Maybe its different at some airports, but I’ve been opting out every time I fly and it’s no big deal.

BetterDev , (edited )

¯*(ツ)*/¯ maybe, but as long as I have the option and it’s not tedious to do so (which is the case), I’m gonna opt out and encourage others to do so. Fair enough if your perspective is you want to accept whatever new security theater data collection is implemented in exchange for some perceived convenience. Making your case here with me in this conversation has taken more effort on your part than opting out of facial recognition at the security checkpoint in an airport would have, and I find that fact amusingly ironic.

BetterDev ,

And what I’m saying is it doesn’t take more time to opt out in my experience. Its just as quick to get manually verified as to be biometrically scanned.

Hey I’ve been there, and after reflecting on it, the truth is, (at least from my perspective), you don’t really, truely want it yet. Don’t take that as judgement, I’m certainly not in a place to judge, but I’ve kicked severeral multi-year addictions, and weed was one I had the pleasure of just “deciding to quit”. For me quitting weed came with breaking a friendship of the longtime smoking buddy I had, though after getting off of it and reflecting, I realize he was just using me as a convenient spot to store his weed. YMMV, but I think you got this, and hopefully my experience lends some light onto your difficulties with quitting.

My guy they (formerly I) know. After you’re hooked it feels out of your control. It becomes a mechanism your brain uses to alleviate stress or to relax. For me, for a long time, it helped me socialize, as I was alone in a new city, working a serving job. After it became a part of who I was, stopping wasn’t just ceasing buying and smoking cigarettes, it was now changing my identity and my personality.

I’ve quit now but I’m here to tell you its big ask of someone, and you shouldn’t judge folks who try and fail, but treat it as a vallient effort, and encourage them to try again.

I hear you though, having been a non smoker for a few years now I can smell it and I know what you mean. Just try to remember those are real people behind the addiction, and that for those of us old farts, some of us thought it made us look cool, and were led into it, despite the warnings.

BetterDev ,

All good, I’ve been there too :)

BetterDev ,

What the heck is archinstall?

BetterDev ,

Oh I thought that was an April fools joke! I’m pretty sure I saw something about it on April 1st on the homepage. Had no idea it was a real thing.

BetterDev ,

It’s probably to avoid paying tolls, assuming the auto tag readers can’t figure out the font

BetterDev ,

That would be illegal. This is in a gray area

BetterDev ,

S6E4 Game Changers dropped literally yesterday and you wasted no time recycling the joke

BetterDev ,

Isn’t that… Just like… How you write titles and names?

I think it would look wrong if the title didn’t use title casing.

BetterDev ,

It doesn’t have to be a compromise

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Any change to appease you would be a compromise, you understand this, yes?

BetterDev ,

Got a link? That sounds extremely interesting!

BetterDev ,

Because its funny, I like Taylor a lot, no one is totally guiltless. This isn’t about making people accountable, its about making people laugh.

BetterDev ,

Are you sure there’s a conspiracy here, and not just a bunch of folks laughing at and copying a popular meme format?

BetterDev ,

Oh my god, you get it. Thank you for your continued existence. Keep going!

JustZ is only saying Joe Rogan is a moron. The term “full moron” isn’t a commonly used phrase on its own, but the word “full” followed by an adjective or noun can be used to enhance the descriptive word, such the quote “never go full retard” from the comedy movie “Tropic Thunder”. The context is that an actor played a person with a mental disability in a movie, but they tried too hard, and the performance was uncomfortable for some people.

I feel compelled to note that I don’t condone using hateful or disparaging language when describing the differently abled.
