Yeah, as I said in another comment, my brother is an airline captain and I spent a lot of time hanging out with professional pilots, and this has been been my impression. I shared an apartment with him and partied with his pilot buddies, and i can testify that these guys and flight attendants hook up all the time. As…

Yeah, having spent a lot of time with pilots, that sounds about right.

My brother is an airline captain, and after spending over a decade living with him and spennding a lot of time with his pilot buddies, I can honestly tell you that the REAL answer to the "do pilots sleep with with flight attendants?" questions is: YES. Also: A LOT.

His résumé is second to none among undersized big men.

Rape apologist.

I know what you are saying, but that is clearly not what's happening in this scene. The "No" is followed by "not here," meaning she wants to have sex but not in the sept:

Stop pretending rape is ok

The scene in the book is problematic and very much full of the "she wants it even if she says no" trope.

Roughly three-quarters of these challenges were to books in school settings, while only about one-quarter were to books in public libraries. Fifty Shades of Gray is not a boook that will appear in any public-school classrooms or libraries, which explains why it ranks so far down the list. Most challenges involve…

On multiple occasions, he testified that he was "screaming" for Steenkamp to call the police and for the burglars to leave his home. He even admits to screaming one last warning before firing into the toilet door and killing Steenkamp.

He probably isn't the worst offender out there, but he was definitely the most clickbait-ish of Gawker writers. I didn't mean to suggest that all of Neetzan's headlines were that way, but many were, in my experience. More than once, I found that the facts of the story didn't quite live up to the sensational headline.

articles that are devoid of substance with misleading headlines

So one commenter incorrectly used the word "clickbait" in response to that story. That still doesn't change what the word is supposed to mean.

The Jamaican bobsled team actually competed in their event, completed it, and had a decent (if not top-tier finish). And they were actual, genuine citizens of the country the represented — not Americans who don't really live there.

I read that story. I notice that all the details came from the couple themselves, and i'm highly skeptical that's all true. Sounds like they're making excuses for not competing.

What specifically bothers me has nothing to do with some general question the Olympics "being more about money amateurism and sentimental stories." I don't mind sentimental stories when they're about true athletes who worked hard to earn a spot at the games. What bothers me is when people who are clearly not athletes…

I give a shit. The got to march in the opening and closing ceremonies and were televised and discussed by the NBC announcers during the first night of Olympic coverage. And they didn't even bother to compete. That's outrageous.

They were featured and profiled in glowing terms on NBC and in major news reports. This lengthy detailed take-down is very much deserved, and the topic is newsworthy.

I see. So in your view, calling someone something derogatory (like "cheater") is not impolite as long as the language used isn't vulgar (like "fuckwad").

It's "polite" for you to attack this man and call him a "cheater" simply because he developed a popular game that you don't like?
