‘Investigate the type of plane’? ‘Periodically review seat options’?? Bitch, the app or website asks ‘do you want to pick a seat’, you click yes, it shows you a layout of the plane and the Extra Special Seats have a different color so you choose one of those. It does not require a PhD in Seat Studies and for anyone…
he only wishes lies make it grow longer...
They’re a minor salve but here are a couple solid dunks from today:
It sure is a sick irony that, because he could afford top notch healthcare for his potentially serious medical issue, John McCain will now probably be able to return to work, and vote for a bill that strips healthcare access from tens of million.
I know how to definitively settle the issue of whether he is black or not. He goes up to a cop at 2am to ask if they know the time or if they have a light for a cigarette and if they shoot him dead like a dog, then he is black.
Well, she’s not ‘Merican. . . so I’m waiting on the cop-worshipping, Fox News sorts to the interpret “yoga teacher” and “foreigner” unto being her being some kinda drug lord. Unless of course there was a brown person nearby and she got shot “in the confusion”— in which case she will be totally innocent.
And not a damn thing will change for black lives or PoC.
So this. I can’t get over the idea that we can accept that police officers “do a dangerous job,” but they can’t seem to deal with the fact that their job is dangerous, so they need to be people who can keep level in a tense situation, who can *do better* than those of us who don’t have badges and guns.
Predictions:
You’d think they’d have ways of determining this beforehand, like some sort of training process...
If you are a skittish, nervous, risk-adverse person, do not become a police officer.
I wish Mr. McCain can continue to enjoy sucking on the teat of taxpayer funded healthcare long into the future.
“Bully: If you wore wranglers, people wouldn’t laugh at you all the time.”
A good HS friend of mine told me her son is in the same class as our former bully’s kid. My friend says the ex bully is always sweet and nice. Finally one day, my friend asked the ex bully, “Why are you being so nice to me? This is all too weird.”
Yep. We seem to call every confrontation now bullying. I was a kid in the 70s and 80s and sure enough, especially in middle school there were petty cruelties and shit in my tiny middle school, but I think we only considered bullying when it became mostly physical or severe tormenting.
I was a mouthy feminist in a sea of Mormon redneck. Popularity was not an option:
Remember Maya Angelou’s quote:
I know I was both. What bothers me more now is all the times I was neither but just watched and said nothing when someone I know was being bullied.
I resent the “bullies are in pain too” justification. Okay that’s true, but everyone hits some form of hard times in their lives. Like you said, it’s how we choose to deal with it. And bullies, even children on a simpler level, make that choice. Children may not fully understand the emotions and complex consequences,…
