Wait, you’re bashing him for selling drugs, but you’re also bashing him for giving the names of other drug dealers? Which is it? Should he be hated for selling drugs or should he be hated for leading to the arrest of other drug dealers? I don’t think you can justify both positions simultaneously. Also, 40 years ago?

I’ve been a red-state, gun-owning, suburb-living, capitalism-loving conservative my whole life, but I’ve recently been opening up to the idea of some sort of compromise system.

I don’t agree with all of this man’s politics, but I greatly admire his willingness to step up and work for what he believes. Taking public office to effect change from within is an incredible step and I hope he’s able to make the world a better place.

I cannot wait for whatever spell the Kardashians have cast on America to dissipate. Why on earth are we glamorizing some of the shallowest, most vapid hollow-skulls to ever walk the earth? If feminists want to help young girls grow into strong independent women, seems like we should start by dismantling the Kardashian…

The problem was the airline was trying to seat another passenger in that seat because the ticket-holder technically wasn’t there. It wasn’t going to be an empty seat they could just use, the airline was going to make money on that seat and the parents never took the appropriate actions to transfer the ticket (if…

If you haven’t received the product or service you paid for you get your money back or equivalent value in vouchers at least. Weather delays are another story because it isn’t the airline’s fault (it’s legally an “act of God”), so they usually just dump you onto whatever flight is easiest for them after the weather…

I don’t agree with Stig 100%, but the core of his argument is sound. Stuff happens and screaming about nonexistent rights is counterproductive. Instead (and here’s where I’ll agree with you), boycott. Boycott the airline that treated people so poorly, but do it because of poor customer service and not some contrived…

Samneda I fly once or twice per month for work. There are PLENTY of opportunities to get a count of who is present for a flight, i.e. checked in. That’s what checking in is for. If you check in at the ticket counter, they know you’re at the airport. If you check in online, they at least know you’re PLANNING to take…

This guy’s getting a lot of hate for giving what I see as basic financial advice.

We need more people like you who can stand up for someone they don’t necessarily agree with when that person is being treated unfairly. It’s all too common to allow absolutely everything when it’s someone you disagree with. It’s difficult to hold both sides of a situation accountable. That trait is vanishingly rare…

It’s sad that basic acts of human decency are so rare that some people see them as mythical. When I’m on a flight I keep an eye out for families that might be separated and see if me changing seats can help them out. Some people are so grateful it seems like they’ve never had anyone accommodate them in any way. I…

And you’re still unwilling to admit anything about how terribly presumptuous or baselessly judgmental you’ve been. Of course I’m not going to stop you commenting. I was only hoping the experience of realizing how bad you are at it would give you pause long enough to realize that slinging blind accusations at people…

These things are great for diapers, too. Wrap up the poopy ones, tie it off really well and you avoid smells AND the overpriced diaper-genie things that don’t actually work very well. I would NEVER leave home without some of these in the diaper bag.

I hardly ever play docked. It’s usually on a plane or in bed. I did play the Jackbox Party Pack with family last week and that was AWESOME. If you want the switch to deliver on its promise of being an impromptu party activity that is definitely the game to get.

I have identical twin boys and they’ve rarely had separation anxiety. I cannot even imagine the heartbreak of losing one of them. You are amazingly strong just for surviving, let alone working toward giving your daughter some normalcy after such a tragedy. I wish I could give you a big hug. Not for your sake, but in…

After 2500 replies I know this will get buried but maybe it’ll help someone:

SUCH a good post. I would be thrilled to give up my seat to a pregnant woman if asked because it kinda means I at least seem approachable. I do tend to get absorbed in other things, though, so I can’t be relied upon to notice someone else’s need.

To be fair, there has been a surge of “WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I NEED YOUR HELP!?” attitudes out there which at least partially explains people being less polite in that way. I still offer my seat to any woman nearby on a full train/bus because I’m not afraid of that speech. Others might be, though.

My wife just gave birth recently and her belly still looks very much like a pregnant belly. It’s a VERY common mistake to make and the lady losing her mind over it is either hormonal or just a jerk. Probably a bit of both.

Yeah, it’s not that hard. “Would you like to take a seat?” said while vacating your seat shows that you’re serious. Like you said, if they refuse that offer no harm done, but if you’re a man you should ALWAYS offer your seat to a lady unless there are other seats open. If she’s standing despite seats being available I…
