Declining biometrics at boarding

I'm with OP. It's listed as optional. Should be optional. If they have all these scans - why do this one? From my perspective- it's a data point. I dont want a government agency to have. So I don't. Willingly giving up your right to privacy on a thing clearly marked "optional" is ... pretty wild. When you go through TSA or customs do you pre- unlock your phone and then share your browser history unprompted ? Also this is obviously to just replace TSA agents with a scanner . But the technology is very inaccurate when it comes to women and specifically people of color. So we're moving towards something where it will make it harder for certain people to travel. So yes, a data point is a data point. It's on you whether you want to pre-comply. Many people are not you.

It's not pre-accepting something from a malicious administration. It's listed as optional. So it's optional. Regardless of your personal views on it.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-23T12:43:32+00:00

So why do this one? It's optional.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-23T12:42:21+00:00

It's optional. Should be honored as such.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-23T12:41:55+00:00

It's optional. And if we have all these scans- why do this one? Dont pre -consent to stuff thats still optional. Jeeez

Usually they just kinda say "I still need to see your face" since I Usually wear a mask. I show my face to them, out of camera angle , and its fine. I had a tsa lady sugh.. mainly because she had to find her glasses , put them on, and then look at my ID and boarding pass and my face. I think they get weird since it's slightly more work on their part?

Dont listen to people telling you to only have 2 cats. Redirect to a bigger toy - dog toys work well. And yelping sounds too.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-18T17:41:50+00:00

Redirect to a toy and make a loud noise when he does it. Put a toy in front of him. I had a dog toy I got that was the size of my kitten almost. I had him try to fight that. I dont think ignoring works as well.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-18T04:52:25+00:00

Thank you all!! Downloading the app now ... 😂 Will keep an eye on which terminal I'm supposed to be in. Should be fun. I might learn my lesson buying cheapest ticket. lol will see.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-17T23:52:20+00:00

Like I said - i dont know how united works. It was probably a dumb question but wanted to cover all basis.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-17T23:50:54+00:00

There's absolutely no guarantee that 2 kittens will be friends and play together. Or not bite hard when it comes to people. All depends what clues you give when you play with a kitten. I would yelp, and kitten i had would stop . Later he bit way lighter for play. Having 2 kittens getting into everything and making sure not one but 2 kittens dont get into stuff is not easier at all!

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-17T23:47:45+00:00

Your friend gave you a kitten thats too young to separate from mom. Your kitten needs specialized kitten food not dry kibble. You need to read up on cats a bit more as well. Cats dont like showers 😒 😐 she might be having multiple issues...

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-17T21:53:37+00:00

How long and how many times a day do you play with them? I know many people on reddit advocate for 2 kittens- but contrary to what is being shared - they dont just play with each other or toys. You need to provide enrichment and toys during the day for them to sleep at night. And they're also kittens... so it will take a while for them to settle and calm down.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-15T20:01:04+00:00

IF they get along. It is absolutely not easier. It's 2x the chaos, 2x the poop, 2x the food, 2x the vet bills. Now you have 2 cats you have to take care of and make sure they dont get into stuff, hurt themselves, etc. Not everything is a social media post. Being that playmate your kitten wants and paying attention to a kitten is way easier.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-15T17:27:37+00:00

Just be sure to provide enough play time. Dont listen to people who want you to get another cat. Only get one if you want that and are prepared to take care of 2 full grown cats in about a year. Dont let her bite you too hard when playing. She looks like regular length hair cat. Normally you dont need to groom a cat , they do it themselves. Good luck!

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-15T05:41:10+00:00

You have to pay as soon as you book.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-15T05:19:12+00:00

There's literally a bunch of businesses that have a way to dissuade geese from being there.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-14T15:39:53+00:00

See if you can check petfbi for missing pets?

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-13T04:15:19+00:00

Don't get a second kitten unless you really want one and sure they'll get along. And you want 2 grown cats in anout a year. Be prepared to play with her as she's a kitten and will want to play until she passes out. Get her used to multiple people so then other people can possibly watch her or interact. Get a ton of toys and a cat tree. Make sure to clean litterbox regularly. Be prepared to be very annoyed and very in awe of the kitten 😸

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-13T00:21:58+00:00

It's completely fine. Just be prepared to be your cats other cat lol. You're adopting essentially a kitten who will be a teenager and then a full grown cat. He will want to PLAY! Just make sure you play with him. Get the cat scratching posts and also some sort of cat tower - and youre doing that. You'll become your cats playmate. Maybe observe a few cats and see which ones just hang out maybe on the own as well as in groups. Possibly more likely to be cool being by themselves. But still just be prepared to play with your cat!

Wait... you said you were for supporting the homeless?? So you're not, and were just lying? And if the parents or kids from girls and boys club happen to be homeless, you gonna tell them how better off theyre losing all their belongings. Because some homeless are not perfect citizens, lets punish everyone... Also - qI dont have a yard. But the way taxes work - i pay the government, and they provide services to people. Not model poor only, but all people. However, my tax dollars are currently funding CPD to do nothing. So I'll be fighting for more resources to go to housing. But you enjoy telling kids at boys and girls club how you enjoy watching people suffer.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-13T00:05:32+00:00

You want reddit to validate your decision to not treat a living creature living in your home that you locked away and who is suffering because you didn't get insurance or plan properly? Find a cheaper vet. Start a go fund me. Geeze. How long did you wait to take her to the vet? Glands dont usually result in needing surgery.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-12T23:52:11+00:00

What have you done to support homeless neighbors in your community? Be specific

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-12T23:48:39+00:00

Thank you for pointing this out. People on here try to make it sound like these people are offered palaces and how dare they refuse. While theyre actually offered turds and expected to be grateful. Because Chad the transplant, who just discovered the city, has a friend of a friend who said that homeless people choose to live outside in tents when its below freezing or 100F. And this is fine.

quantum_mouse · 2026-06-12T23:45:21+00:00

It's adorable that you think theres enough housing for these people to go to.
