I can only conclude that most people in the US fucking love authoritarians.

I have an algorithm. It’s called “raise the cap on compensatory credit beyond $800”. Hope Deep Blue can handle that one.

I mean, it really depends on what kind of doctor we’re talking about, and if there is no backup. Like, is he a surgeon who needs to be present for a surgery in which he is an expert? Or a dermatologist who is plumping lips?

Lots of people have serious obligations—just because one’s profession is perceived as important…

What do you expect?

The comments over on Gizmodo are depressing AF. To paraphrase, the elderly doctor deserved it, should not have raised his voice, should have just used his “cell phone to re-book patients from his hotel room,” and that this whole incident has been entirely blown out of proportion.

God, you are a pathetic coward.

A close (responsible, non-confrontational) friend of mine was waiting to board his United flight once and a similar situation happened. United employees spent an hour furiously harrassing anyone with a ticket to accept a voucher for another flight 4 hours later.

How does it feel to be an authoritarian bootlicker?

I’m not arguing with you. I’m telling you a fact: your original comment was terrible and cowardly, and your subsequent, feeble attempts to defend it are dumb. I’m not wasting time trying to convince you of anything. You haven’t given any indication that your opinion is worth trying to change. I’m perfectly happy to…

Your replies are dumber than you original comment, which was monumentally cowardly and terrible. But if you’re having fun, by all means, please proceed, Governor.

What’s worse are the losers spending their day defending those policies all over these articles.

This whole “OBEY ANY AND EVERY ORDER YOU ARE GIVEN OR YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE FORFEIT” deal aboard airliners is getting really old.

I don’t know who Rob Liefeld is. But I’m also not super interested in debating what type of anonymous internet commenting is worthy of scorn. I will definitely not be told to shut up by some rando who has christened themselves morally superior to me.

I feel okay about it. Everything is fucked, why shouldn’t my sense of humor be fucked?

It’s called gallows humor, my friend.

Fucking 2nd amendment. I’ll never know why the founding fathers thought arming bears was such a good idea.

“Why sports fans remain perpetually offended by stories that are not of personal interest to them remains a mystery”

Because this is America in 2017. We lent the airlines billions of dollars to help them stay in business after September 11th, most of which has never been paid back, and this is how they treat paying customers now.

“I won’t say those who fell are Christian or Muslim,” he said on state television Sunday evening. “I will say that they’re Egyptian.”
