Remember JD Vance said that childless individuals "should not have as much of a voice."

So the reasoning behind this is probably "childless individuals don't have to think about the future as much".

The natural extension of that reasoning is that older people should have their voting/political power diminished (since they won't be around as long)

I gotta say, a part of me sees the latter as being worth the former... I know it goes against many principles of government, etc. etc. but it certainly is tempting. Any armchair political scientists want to chime in?

I studied a lot of machine learning, going into the math and whatnot behind it.

In reality these days, you just start some model with a single line of code and you're set.

You have to know best practices and whatnot, sure, but I fully agree - science and engineering are two different disciplines and should be taught as such.

Shout-out to framework laptops for repairable, upgradeable, and reusable components.

Where's rusty shackleford work?

Aaah, didn't think about that. Darn! Can't have nice things.

Except that lie is often used when sharing an account.

Under this system, there is no ambiguity in terms of if it was you or your brother.

Oh we're definitely both in agreement that they're being dicks. My issue is that the original comment I replied to is essentially victim blaming folks by saying "all you need to do is not consent, boom, problem instantly solved".

Based on everyone else's input (notably OP neglected to reply), it's clear that the best you can do is not go to the venue and hope that results in systemic change.

I wouldn't bet on that solution.

Okay, so what's the instant solution here? Apparently it's as easy as not consenting.

In my experience many venues do not let you bring your own water

Doesn't sound very instant to me

When you get one, look up adapters that let you connect it to refillable co2

Wait hold on, so someone buys tickets to an event, show up, and have to buy canned water.

What, in your imagination, should be the next steps so they "don't consent to being abused"?
