I traveled enough to where I don’t recline. I was on the last row of first class so could not recline. A full recline literally puts you in someone’s lap in first class on that mid 90s refurbed 737 or 747. If you recline so far you can make eye contact and complain when the person in behind you moves their body you…

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.

Enjoy Greyhound!

...you get elected...

Nailed it. I’ve been having this conversation with my wife a lot lately. People have become IRL internet trolls.

I think in many cases they do get banned from the particular airline they were flying on, but I like the idea of an across-the-board, all airlines no-fly list for these d-bags. Enjoy Greyhound!

The moment he turned around and said “I’ve got you ma’am” to the flight attendant melted my heart. But the rest of it was absolutely horrible. One of the saddest things about the last four years is how the ahole in chief taught Americans to openly hate each other and removed the shame that previously stopped most idiot…

Y’all, I hate to bring it to your attention, but from my limited experiences out in the Real World these past few months, this sort of behavior isn’t limited to just airplanes.

Fines? That’s it? People who act like this, and especially anyone who assaults a crew member, should be banned from flying for the rest of their lives.

They should be put on the no fly list.

Depends on who you ask though. I’ve read (and of course I can’t find it now) that women knew he was a creep and he was dumb at the time. One of them said he was a nose picker!

Exactly. Ted Bundy wasn’t that smart, and if he’d been born 40 years later, he would have been caught a lot sooner.

Seconded, particularly because if you actually listen and look at serial killers — even the super interesting splashy “charming” or I-used-to-dress-up-as-a-clown ones — their lives are a combination of childhood trauma and early-adult narcissistic delusions of grandeur that come up against a wall of staggering…

I’m torn. There’s a great a TED Talk from Ashley Ellerin’s high school friend who tried to profile her killer and realized she was doing what every police procedural does. The bulk of murders worldwide are men killing men. We objectify and judge murdered women for having sex and merely existing. We’re so confident…

Yes. That commenter and Beth. ‘Our’ now includes me, that commenter and Beth.

I am shocked (but not surprised) at the number of comments that deny the fact that history and context make words (and the people you hurl them at) just hit different.

Why do trolls seem to think only ‘the left’ cares about being decent to everyone?

The fact that you don’t see the problem shows your privilege.

That’s horrifying. I follow a divorce/marriage lawyer on social media that I ADORE and her big sticking point is kids - she refuses to take on clients who just want to keep fighting and fighting to prove who’s “right” in general, but especially when kids and custody are involved. She’s a big marriage and pre-nup…

Your first sentence is very much not accurate. I work in mental health, I have clients who are going through manic episodes or serious bouts of paranoia acknowledge that what they’re doing or saying “sounds insane” or could result in their hospitalization. Having some insight into your own mental health doesn’t mean…
