And that lawsuit will cost the taxpayers money, not the police. I’m not saying she shouldn’t sue, I’m saying the proceeds from the suit should come from the police retirement funds. When the “few” bad cops start costing the “good” cops money, then maybe the good cops will do something about their “brothers” behavior.

Actually the weight calculations are usually for the whole plane, so you could just weigh the whole plane and get a number. This is why for years American Airlines planes weren’t fully painted. They just had that stripe down the side. Paint weighs like 500 pounds.

There is something wrong with you if you feel your weight is something to be ashamed of. Either lose weight until you reach a number that makes you happy, or be happy with the number you have. To be embarrassed about it means there is something wrong with you.

In my experience (tiny 8- and/or 10-seater planes in and around Costa Rica), this was not some sort of public shaming. I stood on a special scale, and the number was actually not visible to me or any of the other flyers. Instead, it displayed facing the other direction, for the single employee who was weighing…

I lived in Uzbekistan for almost 2 years, flew Uz Air almost exclusively earning exactly 0 frequent flyer miles. When I moved there I had to pay about $650 in excess baggage weight because even though my first flight (on Lufthansa) allowed me to bring the normal amount of luggage, Uz did not. I had to pay that ransom…

I am the mother of a child with Aspergers. Though he’s quite chill and polite now, he alternated between an angel and a fucking monster from the time he was born until he was four. Lest you think I’m exaggerating, he exasperated pretty much anyone who had to deal with him during one of his meltdowns.

I’m Jewish, was raised in a home with survivors, and still thinks that Europe suffers from the legacy of Nazism and that it should not be forgotten, but this is a nonstory. She’s imitating a political figure at a time before he was infamous, and mocking him at that. Look at that ridiculous face and goose-stepping…

Ricky Gervais had the best response to this non story:

Me and my friends used to dress up as the Italian army. We’d lose or give up or just plain wander off after 5 or 10 minutes and spend the afternoon kicking back.

it’s because she’s still Fuckable.

Seriously. What is this malarkey??

The greatest threat to the American government, is Americans. Not Iranians, not Russians etc. Americans.

Liam Hemsworth is all of 25 while Kate Winslet is 39. She’s old enough to have been alive during Watergate and he failed at any point to coexist with the Berlin Wall.

That’s just the chlorine.

There is no such thing as chemical free. Everything is a chemical. This is one of my biggest pet peeves about how “natural” companies market themselves and I’m not even that much of a science nerd.

Relax, man

That was the best response ever to a butt being posted on Instagram. I love how he's like yes, it's my butt. And I'm ok with it.

In pre-internet days, I once got written up at work for laughing too loud. It was “distracting” to “people who actually wanted to work.” The next day, one of my colleagues told me that hearing me laugh always made her able to stand work because it reminded her that they can’t suck all the joy out of living.

So, what we’re saying is that it’s absolutely not ok for anybody to have a sense of humor about their job. Great. People do realize that it’s ok to laugh still, right? Hello? Right?
