Isn't it sad that we all have to adapt to a malicious minority so often?

And no, I'm not talking about "having to put up with" people wearing rainbow shirts. I mean 50k soccer fans not being able to finish watching a match because thirty people lighted fireworks, airport security being a nightmare for everyone due to four terrorists two decades ago, people missing out on meaningful conversations because they hold back to prevent being scammed or catfished by maybe 5% of strangers.

Of course we can't keep a match going if the stadium is on fire, let everyone take whatever they want on a plane, or be completely open with any stranger we meet, because that can have disastrous effects. But it's pretty unfair that we all give up so much freedom and enjoyment because relatively few people make it necessary to adjust and adapt, don't you think?

What's the solution though? 🤷

Yep. There's always one аsshоӏе or a group of аsshоӏеs.

Found that in prison especially. They had a rule against people playing role-playing games like D&D. (It's been lifted since, because it's proven that if people can escape reality, they won't try to escape prison.) The reason for the rule was that this group of inmates in an Idaho prison were ostensibly playing the game, but really they were role-playing their escape from prison for two years before finally executing it.
