The comments over on Gizmodo are depressing AF. To paraphrase, the elderly doctor deserved it, should not have raised his voice, should have just used his “cell phone to re-book patients from his hotel room,” and that this whole incident has been entirely blown out of proportion.

If they really did run an algorithm to come up with 4 randomly selected people and this guy, an actual fucking doctor, said I have patients to see then United could have run it again and gotten someone with relatively less obligations back home to get off the flight. I’ve never flown United but it’s stories like this…

Does United not have a single PR person? Someone, anyone who could put some platitudes on cue cards and shove this guy in front of the camera? One of the cops is already being investigated, how hard would it be for United to do the whole “we are deeply disturbed by the incident and will look into it” song and dance?…

what kind of toppings did you get?

Yeah, this is getting pretty stale, mate.

this was exciting at first, but i quickly became board.

they’ll still push that new Volvo on you hardcore for that history tho

Did she just refer to me as a bitch?

This almost made me spit out my drink.

“SKELLLLLAAAAA!!!”

I’ve always said that recipes are for baking. REAL cooks are more like you see on chopped. “Let’s see, it’s getting to be Dinner Time. What do I have in the pantry...canned tuna, canellli beans, asparagus, and potatos. What can I do with this?”

I’m British and live in the UK.

Try drinking faster then?

Technically, doesn’t everything?

YES! I was just talking to a friend the other day about the reincarnation of off-shoulder tops and how they’re basically only flattering on flat-chested skinny chicks. Next thing you know, those early 00's low rise jeans with the butt crack hole will make a comeback too.

“Trans” is usually an adjective that gets used when appropriate. Like, I don’t mark my census form as a trans woman, just a woman. I don’t shop in the trans women’s section at Target. But, if someone is having a discussion about, say, gender identity laws or the plague of violence against trans women in the US…

I don’t know, doesn’t look that close.

I only use bing for stuff like that.

Exactly the point of the exercise. :)
