Yes, I get it. My not wanting my knees crushed is selfish. Clearly, your desire to lean back is the greater need than my desire to not be in excruciating pain. How utterly selfish of me to not recognize your clearly more pressing need in this situation. I can only hope that one day, I can be as selfless and

I’m sorry, I should have known your comfort was more important than my health.

Personally, I have long legs. It’s already enough of a pain cramming them in behind a coach seat. It gets infinitely worse if the guy in front of me insists on reclining and smashing the entire seat back into them. I know you like reclining and all, but I like my knees and having circulation to my feet.

Because they’re assholes.

DirecTV is compatible with 8 receivers and charges a DVR service fee of $6 a month for 50 hours of HD programming or up to 200 hours of SD programming.

And he, in turn, is strawmanning the shit out of younger people. Yeah, I’m sure the guys I know who live 4 people in a 1-bedroom apartment are jetting out to Europe every year and paying $20 for avocado toast.

But don’t dare tell others why you’re not giving them your business, because then you’re not adulting.

Just because the airline defines it that way, does not mean the law does. I’d love to see a test case on this.

There’s no current mechanism for the airlines to know who will physically board the plane without actually boarding them.

But do you need to know who the President and VP are based on in order to get the point of their story?

I don’t really think the book relies heavily on pop culture figures. I mean, obviously, certain characters are implied to share backgrounds with real people, but the only time that really matters very much to the story is the whole story of the celebrity enclave being overrun by attacking refugees.

They actually did raise it to $50k... but with so many exemptions, it pretty much only actually applies to the retail and fast food industries (who, to be fair, were the worst abusers of the old overtime rules).

Take note of successes in other countries and work to apply them to American problems? That’s just commie talk.

Maybe - just maybe - they are reporting on things that are happening, and you are just reading your own biases into it?

Some people don’t like pockets. These people are not to be trusted.

Perhaps on the part of the authors and the publisher, not necessary on the part of the public at large.

Actually, bacon Oreos would probably be amazing. Just make the cream filling with bacon fat instead of shortening. Which they’ll never do, since it would shorten the shelf life immensely. They’d probably use that hideous artificial “bacon” flavoring instead. So forget I said this.

Infowars? Seriously?

It’s been done. And it actually was pretty good.
