FrozenVent posted:What was that American church that was boycotting everything Disney because they were too pro-gay? If memory serves it isn't a church exactly but a coalition of Christians that boycott Disney because the "Gay Days" are a thing. It isn't something that Disney organized or even publicly endorses, really, there are just people that are angry that Disney isn't banning or trying to sabotage it or telling the gays that they can come to the theme parks so long as they don't act gay. When Gay Days started happening Disneys' response was "Sure, whatever, have fun, thanks for the money." Some far right nut jobs are angry that Disney's response to it was to shrug and get back to business.

Jabor posted:I did, yes. People being unable to spend more doesn't somehow make the "put fewer people on the plane but it somehow costs just as much per-passenger" pipe-dream into something achievable. That's totally fair. I heard your post as "pull harder on those bootstraps and fly first class you fat poor" but from the rest of the talk last page it's pretty clear that's not what you think. In some cases it's just not possible though - not a whole lot of airlines fly big planes between Ottawa and Toronto, for example - and that's not really anyone's fault. Not like the airlines are going to send an A380 on a cropduster route. Five choads on Facebook allegedly decided to talk about how they'd love to do all kinds of degrading, violent sexual acts to a student leader at their university. One party to that conversation sent her a screenshot of it. The predictable happened, and now these guys have been publicly named and they stand a not-bad chance of being expelled. As much as I disagree with her assertion that the locker room chatter of five jackholes is proof of a nationwide consensus among male youth that sexual violence is an appropriate way to express their feelings (especially after frosh at a different school were recorded literally singing the praises of raping underage girls last semester), if these guys really did put their rapey thoughts into words and post them on the internet they deserve everything they're about to receive and I'll rub my hands gleefully while it's being distributed. flakeloaf has a new favorite as of 17:36 on Mar 3, 2014 |

Best part was he said he'd try it again after healing up, and as a joke, ended up standing on a roof and flinging a dummy off onto the inflated ball instead

SeatGuru.com is a handy reference when choosing airline seats. It tells you which rows have the best seats, which seats tend to feel turbulence the worst, which seats are most likely to get bonked by the service cart, etc., on any given plane. I am offering this information in the hopes that it will solve the problem as best it can be, and I can go back to feeling smug that I'm not pushing past people in turnstiles or making a drunken idiot of myself.

It's been posted a couple of times, so I won't repost, but it's awesome.

This is years old and all the pictures are gone, but this is a thread about a wonderful war between an Arizona HOA's chosen parking enforcer and a guy whose Audi they booted even though he had a parking permit. Basically he put the car up on dollies and moved it into his garage. He's doing a rebuild on the car so he doesn't care that the boots are on his wheels. Parking company wants $140 to take the boots off. Guy says "Nah, I don't care that they're there, but you can come on my property to take the boots off if you want." Parking company calls the cops, says he's stolen their property, cops say "Look, he's standing right here telling you you can go get your boots back, he hasn't stolen anything. He moved his own car into his own garage, and then called and told you where your boots are."

German family wants to homeschool their kids, so they emigrate to the US and seek asylum on religious persecution grounds. Their request was denied and their appeal has just been refused without comment. I hope they get deported.

There was a video of this as well. With the booted car in question in the garage, cops, and an extremely butthurt boot company manager there on the phone doing his best to press the case for his authority. It was beautiful.

Theresa Frontpage posted:Do away with first class, gently caress your expensive super elite section taking up space on the plane and reducing the overall number of seats cause some people can afford to pay twice as much to fly. Give every seat enough legroom for a 6 foot tall person and tear out that ridiculous section. Let the rich smell the farts and hear the screaming children of the lower classes. Business/First class brings in 60-75% of the revenue per flight. Not gonna happen. Business travelers make airlines bank. Did you know there are some flights that are exclusively business class? London City to JFK, Singapore to EWR/LAX too.

Theresa Frontpage posted:Seriously? God damnit. Do they manage to sell it out on every flight or something? How? I'm not sure how it works on shorter domestic routes, but generally speaking once someone is getting paid enough, it's more cost effective for a company to pay for them to fly business class than it is to have them be unproductive (yet still getting paid) for a day traveling and another day recovering from jet-lag. This is especially so once they're far enough up the corporate ladder to need to fly a bunch of places on company business in the first place. Heck, even if you're a middle-of-the-road tech worker or whatever it's probably a worthwhile expenditure, depending on the airline and how much the upgrade costs.

If I need to fly somewhere for work the gulf between first class and coach is so big it's basically a requirement that they better drat put me on first or business. If it's a job with any flying at all I negotiate this at interview time and I wouldn't call myself super highly paid or anything.

I flew from the west coast of North America to Johannesburg and back twice in one year for work. The first time I flew business and it was the greatest thing because 24 hours in the air sucks, even with a 12 hour layover. The second time I flew I asked my employer if I could bring my then-girlfriend now-fiancee along by trading in my business class ticket for two coach tickets. How quickly they said yes made me realize I should have checked the prices first. I could have brought 3 other people in coach for the price of the one business class ticket! To stay on topic, you can revel in my fiancee's misery. She didn't sleep on the flights and couldn't sleep in the hotel in Frankfurt, so by the end of the 36 hour journey she was a jibbering, sobbing mess who had the misfortune of also being on anti-malarials, which made things exponentially worse.

Businesses in Canada can expense 50% of all travel, so that brings the high cost down significantly on the business end. Also any larger business will have accounts with travel agencies who can negotiate with the airlines. That said, I got bumped the BA business class once on a flight from Toronto Toronto to London (ultimately going to Dublin) and it was so awesome. I'd totally pay for i if I had the cash.
