IANAL, but this seems like a clear lawsuit to me: Contract terms are only enforceable if they are presented in a reasonable way. The fine print on the back of a ticket that you can’t even read until after you’ve made the purchase is both too little (literally) too late as well as not reasonably presented. Presenting…

I don’t think that’s true. My experience has been that airlines will do exactly what Vic said: set a deadline after which open seats already sold to no-shows are reseated with stand-by passengers.

One of the things that I love about Chicago is how — and this is obvious — the subways are so warm in the winter and cool in the summer, because they’re deep enough to be largely insulated from the temperature on the surface.

Isn’t laying betwixt a man and a woman forbidden in Leviticus?

I always called them grapefruit shooters.

I mean, what better way to say, “I do” and proclaim your undying love for another car enthusiast than with a wedding band that says “VTEC” on it?

Imagine being so stupid you think an obvious joke is serious.

As I read it, the Air France statement says that this row was left empty on the next flight; and only after these passengers brought this to the crew’s attention. So it seems that there is no process whereby the cleaning crew can effect an exception condition that would remove seats from availability.

Irish car guys build a bar that isn’t actually a bar? I don’t get it.

That tracks; I have always associated Berlinettas with the female car market.

Could easily go either way; I didn’t try to favor either possibility, just pointed out the strong support for the historically less likely option. Didn’t need to build a case for the “normal” choice. Since we know that Giz has already had some horrific (and controversial) experiences with AI-generated content, it ain’t…

In fact, each of these cleverly-named tactics is already a well-known logical fallacy with a well-known name. It’s almost as if the author (or ChatGPT) made up new names for existing things to generate empty content for clicks.

Meh; it’s just Moving the Goalposts.

Shitty credit card commercials.

You’re right; that’s the exact same cat.

there were no benefits to it over a conventional as any efficiency gains are negated by 90% of drivers going da fuq

Republikkkans have had great success with revoking the right to vote for Blacks, Latinos, and the poor by gutting the Voting Rights Act so they could reestablish Jim Crow laws across the country (which is the only reason that Trump won the 2016 election), and now one nutball contender for the GOP ticket is now…

portend: verb.

I really need to expose myself to more viewpoints and opinions that differ from my own, like this article that implies that Kate Mulgrew is not loathsome.

And that’s what I’ve seen with the Titanic. I get pulling up some parts to determine if the metal was weak or brittle or the like which lead to why she sank. But pulling up parts of the ship to show off for a price seems tacky.
