I don’t know what your job is or what your company is, but have you looked into those fast passes? You’d still probably get flagged if you have screwdrivers in your carryon, but it might reduce the hassle a bit.

I thought all four were great and for different reasons, which is the key to a great ensemble. Each time I try to think of who was my fave, I have different reasons for thinking of each of them. Not that it was a great movie or anything. I thought it was an acceptable and funny and unoriginal remake. But the…

Yes exactly. THis is something I point out when people complain about everything being too PC. I agree that political correctness can be annoying, but it’s far less annoying than listening to everyone’s racist feelings as if they are valid and acceptable.

Yup. The other side of the “don’t play the victim card” coin is “shut up and take it”. Fuck those people.

Thanks. I didn’t know who he was. It’s good to have context. Asshat.

If she were petite and conventionally pretty and spoke quietly, no. I think she’d still get racist crap, but nothing near what she’s getting now.

Thanks for the context. Is he gay though also? I just hate it when historically attacked groups start allying themselves with their attackers to attack some other historically attacked group.

I don’t know who this guy is. Quick internet search shows he runs a tabloid and is a log cabin republican. Is that it? What would make him do this?

Tone is difficult in print. Calling someone a crybaby millennial who will be left at the gate has only two possibilities: 1) obnoxious, 2) sarcastic.

I’m not sure what you are picturing here. My normal route is Houston-Frankfurt-Delhi (I’ve never been to Munich or Berlin) and most people are dressed casually. Unless they have some reason to be seen as professional when they are picked up (like travel for business and going straight to a meeting or being met by…

Nonsense. These things are regional. I don’t know where the hell you live, but I’m in Central Texas and every single person here wears flipflops and sandals half the year. We aren’t talking at work, mind you. I think it’s totally fair for a workplace to impose a certain sense of decorum on its employees. We’re talking…

Why do other people try to define the ways in which we respect ourselves? I have a lot of respect for myself for being practical. When I wear pajamas (which are simply drawstring cotton pants) instead of slacks or jeans on a plane, I’m respecting my own need for comfort and sleep while also respecting other people’s…

I don’t know what you are picturing here. I don’t want to see people walking around in their negligees or boxer shorts- not because I’m offended by their casualness but because they are revealing. But pajamas are simply baggy cotton draw string or elastic band pants. You wear them with a t-shirt. How this is somehow…

YES. And this is why representation does actually matter. The fact that seeing a funny tall black woman in a starring role has so many people worked up just shows how rare it is. These man babies are being forced to see something new, and their little heads are exploding. We aren’t going to change them by reasoning…

LOL I’m way too old to be a millennial, and I didn’t say anything in the least crybabyish, and I fly Lufthansa constantly.

I’m not comfy in jeans, but that’s because my most common flight is Houston to Delhi and I’m not masochistic enough to wear jeans in those climates.

If you think the problem with America is that people wear comfy clothes on planes, then I feel justified in saying FOLKS that this sort of bizarre nitpickiness is the problem with America. Yes, when I plan to spend hours sleeping in a place, I wear pajamas. I mean, I’d prefer to go naked but that would be really…

I was thinking this exact same thing earlier today. I don’t know either, but this is what I’ve come up with. First off, loads of dudes hate women because of their own issues of misogyny and sexual entitlement. Second, loads of men respond in a really angry way when a woman is not conventionally pretty but still exists…

colonialists are from cold places, shoulda said

Seriously. I think the best thing anyone can do on a plane (for themselves AND for fellow passengers AND for the flight attendants) is to veg down comfortably to sleep/read/watch a movie. I can’t imagine how nice clothes could possibly contribute to this.
