Yes this is insane. I’m a U.S. citizen and if I’m not allowed to fly because of some arbitrary national security measure then that measure had better be public information and known before I book a ticket. If my government has denied you the right to travel without telling you why I genuinely and sincerely apologize and take responsibility because it should not work like that and ideally I should be able to vote out…

Why does your citizenship status matter? The right to domestic travel within the United States is enjoyed equally by everyone within the US.

That's a constitutional right, and rights belong to citizens, not persons...

If they ask for it :shrug: also their tld is literally .gay so I think they’re pretty aware of what they’re asking for with their pronoun preference.

If it asks for it.

Isn't "they" wholly inclusive? It is a genderless pronoun.

Amusingly, "they" is not one of the pronouns it prefers.

Feels like a passing of the generational torch as elsewhere in the thread there’s large arguments about pronouns while younger people who are way past that are out here getting into wide open Jenkins servers for active airlines lol

Didn't know you could tell someone's age by their comments.

Laws are written to protect multibillion corporations and billionaires. Prove me wrong. If we truly lived in a sane society, companies with lax security and god awful security policies would be punished.

Depends on the country.

Mine was founded by some overseas family that can still come over and start telling us what to do as they please.

So uhhh, yeah, can confirm, Canada’s laws basically revolve around keeping old money wealthy without providing any value to anyone.

The crimes that were written into law by democratically elected representatives?

Are they though? Bernie Sanders wasn't even allowed to debate as a popular presidential candidate because he didn't have a corporate sponsor or Super PAC funding. If voters are only choosing amongst candidates put forth by the establishment, and the establishment relies on funding and support from special interests, then democratically elected is somewhat different than democratically selected, isn't it?

I wasn't referring to the executive branch of the US government, in fact that branch has been chosen by state appointed electors and not individual citizens since its beginning.

So if I leave my front door unlocked, I should go to jail when someone steals from me? What nonsense.

Probably not. But if you owned a warehouse and you left it unlocked without security, and someone steels from it stuff that is owned by somebody else, then maybe you are liable somewhat.

My pet peeve about using "they" is it seems to imply an undue politeness or superiority. Plurality is an ancient metaphor for power, and many languages today have the same form for a plural "you" and a polite "you". Another example is the royal "we".

> My pet peeve about using "they" is it seems to imply an undue politeness or superiority I suppose it could be considered similar to Spanish and French where you have "you" (peers) and then formal "you" (authorities).

Same in German. The formal address is in plural. “Sie sind…”

I don't know if you are joking or I need to break it to you that in most cases passports are the de facto identification for foreigners and passport S/Ns are being used as part of identification procedures.

As a perpetual foreigner I've never had to use my passport number for identification.

>passport S/Ns are being used as part of identification procedures.

Where?

They change frequently? My passport is the longest-lifetime form of ID I'm offered, the absurdity of using Social Security Number as an ID aside. Most passports last for 5-10 years in my experience, and I'm not sure the number changes when you renew it.

> I'm not sure the number changes when you renew it.

Of course it does. Numbers used to identify people generally don't. Passport number identifies the individual document, mostly so it can be checked against INTERPOL's SLTD database.
