Wait, so she quit her job before being formally offered a new one because she figured she’s get hired?

I kind of want to start a bakery or something and then refuse to cater to straight weddings. I honestly don’t believe in marriage, so I should have that right correct?

Well, to be fair, alcohol wise at least, depending on what city you are in the hotel/neighborhood bars will probably have a similar mark up. $6 or $7 for a Stella isn’t unheard of in some places, I mean you’ll probably get a pint instead of 12 oz, but still. The vodka is probably actually cheaper than bar vodka in…

I have similar nostalgia for spending my early teen years hanging out around Yew and Pegasus Bay on the Atlantic Server in Ultima Online

But the parents of this child have no right to inflict her behavior on someone else

I feel like theaters should just show the actual cartoons. They’ll probably make more money

The only problem with that plan is that she’d need to shoot both of them at the same time. Captain Marvel would need to start filming around the time that Black Panther wraps in order to meet the release dates. Personally, I want to see her do Black Panther followed by the Inhumans. Let another brilliant women do…

I wish, but the release dates are pretty close together. DuVernay may be a superwoman, but I don’t think even she’d be able to work that filming schedule

Not the time and place for what? Some crying? Cause that is all that actually happened.

Again, sorry your aunt didn’t have the support she needed. That said, it sounds like the family on the plane had a plan to deal with their kid if the worst should happen. They had seated her against the window with her father in the middle seat. It would have been extraordinarily difficult for her to get into the…

The parents sat her against the window so she would be unable to exit her seat without going through her father, who is presumably bigger than her probably used to handling her scratching and biting. When she became upset, they asked the flight attendants if it would be possible to purchase a hot meal for her to help…

Yeah, probably would have been good to make arrangements in advance. On the other hand, parents aren’t perfect. They screw up sometimes. Parents dealing with disabled kids have a lot more to keep track of. It would be reasonable for them to assume that if previous flight attendants have allowed them to purchase their…

Yeah actually I have. My career is working with people with developmental and intellectual disabilities, including autism. I have worked and continue to work with adults with aggressive behavior problems.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

The lack of empathy, the fear, the prejudice and the unwillingness to experience a minor inconvenience displayed by both the airline and many of the commenters on this thread are exactly why this young woman will probably unfortunately grow up to be largely segregated from society and be at a very high risk to…

Yeah, those stupid parents who sometimes aren’t perfect. Why aren’t they perfect and able to anticipate all of their disabled child’s emotional and physical needs and never make any mistakes? You know, like parents of kids without disabilities are.

while I’m sorry that your aunt had her arm broken, I’m relatively confident that it didn’t happen in the presence of dozens of other adults, and that even if it had your cousin didn’t represent a threat to those dozens of other adults

i don’t disagree that the parents were very under-prepared but it stills seems like an overreaction to me on the part of the airline

I know you can’t threaten flight attendants, I’m simply saying you have a very odd definition of a threat. Apparently in your world, I would be threatening a flight attendant if I noticed that he was about to trip over some luggage and I said “Hey, if you don’t move that luggage you might fall.”

Right, like that time I threatened my landlord that if he didn’t fix the gas leak, it might explode.
