Yes of course you’re right, if “they” is used to the exclusion of all other pronouns, that’s clearly misgendering.

I suppose the point I’m making is that “they” as a singular gender neutral pronoun has been in use for a long time for people whose gender is known and it’s not necessarily misgendering to call someone “they” even if you know their gender or preferred pronouns. 

Oh sorry, I see it was more of a rhetorical question. 

That seems to be the case more and more. We don’t all live in the same village or in the next county anymore. Families travel way more for work and/or school and stay away.

I have friends who rented out entire orchards and shit for 3 day celebrations. No way, man. I don’t know how they did that. 

“They” is not misgendering. Anyone can be a “they”.

Oh it’s definitely high. I have a feeling the real cost of weddings is much lower and the super high end brides are skewing that number higher because they’re the ones reporting.

Precisely, I was thinking that seemed unusually high and it’s because it is.

Nope-I got my license in California in 2007 and parallel parking wasn’t on the test. I did practice it though with my driving instructor many times. She wanted to make sure I could do it even if it wasn’t on the test.

For serious. When kids had meltdowns at my elementary school and started kicking and punching, they were sent to the office and their parents were called.

That is horrifying. And then to only get a suspension? They should both lose their licenses and the one guy should be tried and sent to jail for altering the form.

My favorite response to that is ‘Why are you telling me?’

I think in that case the influencer was being obnoxious about their request-like making it seem like they were doing the hotel a big favor by allowing them to stay there for free. And I believe that was a Valentine’s Day weekend when the hotel expected to be full. 

their data comes from the Department of Transportation i.e. the government.

I wasn’t making fun of the mother who changed her child’s diaper on the seat-I shared my story because it was the worst thing I’ve seen on an airplane.

I’m not going to argue facts with you. Even your links literally say that fares are lower than they have been in the past. That study may have been commissioned by a lobbying arm but their data comes from the Department of Transportation i.e. the government.

It’s not more expensive to fly now and neither of those articles says it is. Even with the fees, it’s still cheaper to fly now than it ever has been. The article I’ve linked is from 2017.

Seriously this is the best thing I’ve seen today. 

The woman claims that the guy was repeatedly punching the seat hard until she started recording at which point he started doing this pushing thing. If she hadn’t started recording, who knows what the guy would have done?

It doesn’t matter what size I am. If I’m flying in coach, I understand that my personal comfort is going to be compromised. I deal with it for the hours I have to deal with it and move on with my day.
