The existence of autism implies the nonexistence of autism't.
(...or something like that. Don't look at me; I only work here.)
If it were up to me, there would have been a universal passenger-strike when the TSA was invented -- or maybe when they started in with the whole security-gate nonsense in the first place (I think it was the 1980s?).
Assuming air travel can ever be made ecologically sustainable, I'd like to feel mentally comfortable doing it, and be able to see friends off at the gate instead of sending them unaccompanied into Security Theatre Hell. What we have now (the last 20+ years at least) is bullshit and I don't understand why people are tolerating it.
@fatsam I was told that requiring payment from prospective employees was definitionally a scam. I guess I grew up in simpler times... :spiral_eyes:

@rnd I suspect your main area of competence-deficit is in properly evaluating your own competence.
(In your head are two wolves. One of them thinks he's super-competent; the other one actually is.)

Image Description: a New Yorker -style cartoon, apparently from (of all places!) The New Yorker: a shaded line-drawing showing a parent bird perched on a branch above a nest of new hatchlings, who are poking their beaks upward and ready to receive the worm which, for some reason, the parent bird does not have. The parent bird is instead looking crossly (angry eyebrows) at the hatchlings and apparently speaking.
The caption is "Your generation is so entitled."
The artwork is signed "E. BLACK", who is presumably @efblack36 on some other site that is not fedi. Tsk! #GetTheeToAFediverse
@Jirikiha I've run into situations at least twice where I set up an online banking account for myself, then was utterly unable to set up accounts for one or more family members* -- no explanation, no appeal, way to contact them except phoning (we all have phone-phobia).
(fwiw: My way of dealing with this situation was to not use that bank.)
* (the whole point of choosing the institutions in question was so we could easily move money around between family members)
@farah Regarding the second part of that, I would now like to quote Queen at you:
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Queen has now told you not to delete yourself. You cannot disobey Queen. I have spoken.
