A set he paid for? Id be one thing if they never let him board but there is no provision for United forcibly removing a paying passenger that has committed no crime. He had absolutely no obligation to give up that seat. I hope he owns that airline by the time he’s done suing.

Nope fuck that. People would have just kept giving excuses not to be able to do it. I think they should have kept upping the reimbursement until people started to fly out of their seats.

Like seriously. Who the fuck takes a PR disaster for your company and decides “Hey lets just come out talking like an abusive husband and blame the victim for needing to be beat up. That’ll make everything better!”

I think the larger question is about the implicit assumption that 3 years in the TA makes anyone an expert in anything. Much like the US Army Reserves, it amounts to two weeks a year plus monthly meetings.

Way to set the bar at a high level! HR departments for known sexist workplaces like Fox News are the least helpful way to deal with sexual harassment. HR is there to protect the employer, not the employees. Shocking that no one went to them. Shocking, I say.

What kind of sociopath thinks trying to kill someone over a traffic infraction is equivalent to the traffic infraction?

Harmlessly passing someone in a no passing zone isn’t being an “asshole” . Trying to murder two people is.

Yeah, who cares if South America #7 has multiple wins and/or draws against the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Ecuador in a true round robin qualifying campaign when Asia #6 has earned points against Lebanon, Myanmar, Laos, China and nobody else.

What Paulo said. CONMEBOL essentially has five spots right now since its fifth team generally wins its playoff, so only guaranteeing the continent one more seat at a table expanding by 16 is pretty bonkers, especially when CONCACAF is also getting six (up from 3.5).

Wow, I would expect the 2nd part of the response on Breitbart.

More like the Europa Cup vs Champions League. Maybe even have the winner of the lesser cup auto qualify for the big one?

Yeah, I’ve had the Bolivia match on my mind so for some reason I made myself think it was that game and not the Chile game. Oops.

Whoever wrote that headline

Did Fagin really attempt to snub Walton, or was it more of an artful dodge?

Precisely! Paul Ryan is a “wonk” in the sense that most undergraduate students are “wonks.” (I include the 18-22 year old version of myself in this group). They have ideologies on how the world should work but never get into actually playing out how those ideologies may be functionally enacted and the consequences of…

Strictly speaking, it is 97% of climatologists (climate experts). Not “scientists who basically make a living talking about climate change.” That is not an impartial definition at all.

Climate change is a scientific issue, not a political one.

Yeah, I was more a Seine Crossing player. Nice little combinations of camping, cqb, sniping, with everything still relatively close together.

I mean, there’s also active debate about whether the holocaust happened, if you invite a holocaust denier to your apartment.
