Question: Does this not prove that you’re onto something, and that crypto is for chumps? The gubmint doesn’t try to regulate things that don’t hurt it’s feelings.

The father of one of my H.S. friends owned the local Chevy dealership in town. When the X-body cars (Citation) were being hyped as the next “big thing” from GM, he gave all the cool kids promotional t-shirts that said, “Check Out My X Body”.

I have so many thoughts about this, but I feel like this headline should read “Mentally ill adult kills hamster in airport toilet”

Yeah like how hard would it be to find a VW mechanic in Mexico of all places.

I read a BBC version of this article and saw this:

Every peacock I’ve ever met has been a disruptive jerk...and I don’t mean “disruptive” in the Silicon Valley way. I mean they fuck your shit up. So kinda like Silicon Valley!

It’s people like this that have ruined it for those who actually, seriously need a service animal with them. It’s creating an atmosphere where legit service animals are being second guessed.

There’s also a large difference between a service animal and an emotional support animal.

The balls on this woman. Who gets denied three times and still brings their freaking peacock to the airport?!? Who aided and abetted this woman’s tomfoolery?!? Did she drive herself, and if so, how’d she get her peacock to the terminal?!?

Service animals and emotional support animals are not the same.

Let me tell you something, if I get onto a plane, and there is a goddamn peacock roaming freely around the cabin, I. AM. OUT. I do NOT like birds, and there is no way that I’m going to be trapped in a metal tube with one for hours on end. Nope. No way. And peacocks can be particularly aggressive assholes, so double no…

Emotional support animals are not service animals. Service animals have to be trained to perform tasks for a person in their everyday life, like guiding them or opening doors. An emotional support animal is just whatever critter you can get a therapist to write a note saying it makes you feel better.

Come at me, but this “emotional support animal” is bullshit. If you need help with flight anxiety, take a tranquilizer or booze, like a normal sane person. Animals - no exceptions, dogs, cats, whatever! - have no business inside a passengers cabin.

Right up there with pretending to be disabled so your family skips lines at Disney.

I may come across as cynical but, this seems like the passenger is attention-seeking rather than emotionally needy.

I mean, I get that traveling is stressful for many people, and especially air travel. And airlines tend to do very little to make the experience just a bit more pleasant, especially American carriers, and especially especially United. There are people who legitimately need emotional support animals and/or guide…

First and only time I am on United’s side

Peacocks are freaking MEAN. I wouldn’t want one on my flight, honestly.

Good. Emotional support animals are (pretty much all) a scam designed for people to take their untrained animals places.
