So, no solution to healthcare yet?

He doesn’t even give a viable alternative word processor.

I’ve done way more word processing then I care to admit. I have never found a word processor that does anything nearly as well as Word. If you need to have complete control over the formatting of your document to submit your thesis (hundreds of footnotes, hundreds of pages, tables of contents and citations that change…

Wow, do I have news for you. Literally everyone uses software they hate for work that is insecure and generally shitty. Word is arguably one of the least infuriating that I run into. Sure, technically Google Docs is an alternative, but receiving phishing emails designed to look like links to Google Docs is just as…

Because my documents do look better in Word than in Google Docs. And, oh, I’m a lawyer so I don’t want my documents from my clients and for my clients on the cloud.

Actually, if you read their own policy on this (it’s on their website) it says that they may require passengers to give up their seat PRIOR to boarding. They should never have boarded and seated them if they knew it was full and they needed the seats.

there’s no way you’re not trolling

Do you even know what happened in this story? It seems you missed the whole point!! This man wasn’t belligerent, he payed for his seat on a plane that United OVERBOOKED and kicked passengers off of AFTER BOARDING so that four pilots on STANDBY (didn’t even have tickets) could board a plane that was going to LOUISVILLE…

You’re a fucking moron.

Glad to see there’s still internet access in the Oval Office

are you serious? . What they can do is offer more $$..everyone has a price. Someone else will take that $1000+ hotel. You can’t use force on a paying customer. He had a reason....What if your mom was dying and you had to fly home to see her? and the next flight out is not til the next day? C’mon man can’t blame the…

What the fuck, are you serious? The man paid for his ticket. He paid for a ticket to go on that plane.

America is so fucked right now because the Government has turned the keys to the kingdom over to corporations.

Say what you will about Bush, at least he was there when Colbert cracked jokes at him. At least he was an adult about it.

What blows my mind are all the people saying some variation on “ok, so the paying customer was a doctor on his way to see patients in Louisville, so what, I’m sure there are other doctors in Louisville.” Yeah, and I’m equally sure there are four other United ticket-punchers available in Louisville too. Somehow that…

“[A]n immature and stupid response that literally could not have ended any other way.” What an impressively succinct encapsulation of exactly the type of reflexive bootlickery Burneko denounced in his piece. And the nice thing is, you can make literally the same exact argument in favor of literally any act of defiance…

what pisses me off about this is the whole employee transfer thing. that united would rather 1) offer $3200 for people to disembark to save, what, $2000 flying the employees on another airline? and very obviously 2) beat the fucking shit out of a guy and settle the inevitable multi-million dollar lawsuit that results…

Dear All Gawker Blogs,

This piece is about easier ways to lose weight. Cutting out sugar isn’t easy.

A little bit of politeness goes a long way with this. I have a relationship with all the local independent coffee shop owners, and show common courtesy; I'll leave if they get so busy that they need the space, and I also will occasionally help customers with issues getting on the wifi, direct them towards the…
