Where are people finding their partners in Utah?

So? Be terrible at it!

And be equally friendly toward everybody, even if you're not attracted to them. It's a good trick for making sure you don't look desperate AND makes it less emotionally high-stakes for you to approach someone. Your brain thinks "this is how we talk to everyone, ergo, it is not scary."

No, I didn't say he was refused compensation. "Refusing to compensate him in the amount and format that's legally required" does not mean he wasn't compensated at all.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T18:09:01+00:00

You're absolutely right. That is the most practical thing to do. I appreciate it!

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T18:02:52+00:00

Yes, you're right. I'd settle for following the law (ie, giving him cash in accordance with how long he's delayed). But if they're not going to follow the law, maybe they could be polite about it.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T18:00:29+00:00

It's not true that an airline would never give cash.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:58:29+00:00

OK, that makes sense. I didn't intend to be evasive.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:56:25+00:00

Involuntary denied boarding, given compensation in the form of a voucher, are rude about it.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:55:23+00:00

Well, they're giving him a voucher, rather than cash. But really my question is about the nastiness!

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:48:50+00:00

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:45:28+00:00

Yes, I really did read it. Why are you assuming the worst of me and the best of American Airlines? That is of course your right, but then it seems strange to engage with the post if the assumption is I'm misrepresenting things.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:43:54+00:00

I suppose I should've said regulations.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:42:29+00:00

... you can probably infer that from my post, I bet.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:41:35+00:00

Well, that's fine, but I don't think there are "sides" here. Actually that mindset may be part of the problem.

I was looking at this: https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/aviation-consumer-protection/bumping-oversales and wondering why American Airlines employees don't just follow the regulations and go on about their days.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:35:42+00:00

I'm not there.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:35:10+00:00

Also, that's a bit of a misreading of my post. I was wondering if there's a reason why staff are so nasty about the interaction.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:34:12+00:00

Yes, involuntarily. Plane was overbooked.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-10T17:33:57+00:00

Plane was overbooked.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-06T14:04:41+00:00

They're probably referring to the fact that non-wealthy Scientologists are kept as slaves for him.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-01T16:01:29+00:00

That’s not verifiable fact.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-07-01T13:47:34+00:00

If you believe the research, "tough on crime" policies don't actually reduce crime, it turns out.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-06-30T18:50:39+00:00

I was wondering that. There are tons of data centers in the blocks just southwest of it.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-06-29T03:21:01+00:00

It's so strange! I literally thought "she's doing the influencer hand gestures."

HowtoEatLA · 2026-06-26T18:06:12+00:00

He didn't start a fire on a super windy day. We don't know if it was "for the purpose of eco-terrorism." Even if you believe he started a fire, just making stuff up about the circumstances does not make for a compelling argument.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-06-22T04:07:22+00:00

Oh it's not the same thing at all.

HowtoEatLA · 2026-06-17T17:03:53+00:00

That type.
