I hate that it's incredibly hard to do things at 17

There were very few things that I couldn’t do at 17 that I cared about
I went off to college at 17
so I got hit with a lot of age-gating
simple things, like having a dormroom
Most people don’t do that though
some % of people do though
Yeah and fuck them
No one cares about minorities
I just would prefer, if things that didn't need to be age-gated
weren't
like hotel rooms
it's fucked that I still can't rent a hotel room in some states
Well they have to make sure you aren’t running away from homes
Also yeah
Restraining orders will do that spooky
how is hotel room renting restricted against people under 30?
depending on the state, it's sometimes 24 as the cuttof
unless you get a parental note
under 18 makes sense for insurance reasons but 24 is stupid
I agree with that
Should be 18
I was fully independent by 23
why should I need a parental note
it shouldn't be age-gated
there are things that should be
It should be age gated to 18
why though
what are you protecting
the hotel
from what though?
potential trashing of rooms by drunk teens
Damages
you still have to provide an ID to rent a room
so it soft-restricts it to 16 and up
unless you're a strange person who gets an underage ID
Kids running away from home
Is another one
This is how pedos operate, they try to slowly convince you with simple things like minors having ids and dormrooms
yeah force those kids to sleep under a bridge
Yes
So they’ll go back home
it's the opposite Gent, if you think age of majority should matter, have a clear reason for things you're gating behind it
Soon he’ll be arguing for tattoos, then drug usage, then....
so they'll get raped by the homeless
You get what you fucking deserve
tattoos, drugs, alcohol, enlisting, voting, etc
clear reason why they're age gated
concert attendence, public events, hotels, financial services, gas stations, websites etc
