“Actors and their directors have hooked up fromtime immemorial, but as far as professional workplaces go, it’s very much frowned upon.”

You’re right, and I totally get that. We’re working with incomplete information here, and it’s entirely possible that Waititi and Ora were pressuring Thompson into something she wasn’t interested in.

Regarding her, and all the other MAGAts - LOCK THEM UP! They ARE a mental illness.

Nothing can protect you from asshole passengers. Literally hell is other people. I am incredibly laid back so I rarely escalate things but I have had to break up a fight on a plane, subdue a drunk on a plane, intervene in a racist rant on a plane and occasionally, hold the hand of a terrified co passenger to keep them…

Can we just send them all to one of the shitty states and wall it up? Say Oklahoma or something?

since he was an adult male, they probably felt threatened and backed down. had it been a small woman or a kid, maybe.

There’s definitely a self-selection aspect to all of this. My wife and I are polite and courteous airline passengers. We haven’t been on a plane in well over a year, and it will be a while before we fly again. There are two types of people booking airline travel right now - those who don’t have a choice and those who…

Conservativism at least used to pretend to be about “cut taxes, small government, religion in public life” and other stupid things like that....but now they have no platform besides “Be a Belligerent Obstructive Dipshit.”

Visitors at work have been extra levels of trash lately and essentially it’s because the sane good people are staying home until things settle.

...you get elected...

I’m wondering if this is related to the rise of extra-shitty restaurant customers. Most reasonable people cut back on eating out and flying, so the people who are left are disproportionately terrible.

It’s right wingers losing their damn minds. Being a conservative in 2021 means you are proud to be a jerk, proud to be a liar and you are always the victim in any altercation because freedumb.

Amazing how immediately the assaulter’s friend/sister/mother(???) starts accusing the flight attendant of having “went after her first”, which I believe is also the story they’re telling the press. The video is right fucking there.

Ugh to be a flight attendant looking at his/her schedule that morning. You could take bets on WHEN you’d get this passenger, not IF.

The guy that intervened was having exactly none of Karen’s bullshit and good for him.

I fully support throwing the book at these fuckers, flying is unpleasant enough without these stupid assholes lashing out at the people who’s job it is to keep you safe and comfortable while you’re stuffed in a metal tube with a bunch…

To add to the long list of reasons why I hate the orange turd who occupied the WH for 4 years, making wearing a mask a political thing is in the top 10.

They go to a church which is pro-conversion-therapy and against gay marriage.  They are garbage people.

You think you’re kidding, but that’s really a plank in the TX GOP platform.

It’s a small section of the GOP platform to ban critical thinking, altogether.
