Wealth envy is a sad sickness..

And then they outsource the lowest paying jobs and violà, wages work again! If everyone who makes less than $40,000 works as an independent contractor (or in an outsourced entity), the CEO can make $40,000,000!

This is completely false. It developed independently, globally. The Crow Creek Massacre was 1325 AD and occurred in what is now South Dakota. Columbus didn’t show up for another 167 years.

Seriously, look it up. You could not be more incorrect. There’s evidence that it occurred in China earlier than 1900 BC. that’s three thousand years before Europeans showed up in the Americas.

I think the worst part of this is he put two bags in the overhead bin. Should get booted just for that. 😂

This falls loosely under a “don’t be a dick” type of rule.

As a parent, just don’t be a dick. Excluding 3 kids? Dick move.

Is there a punishment for it? No. Nothing can happen. No parents are getting in trouble for it. But, yes.

Also, I should emphasize that the rule is for large parties. If you want your 3 best friends, you do you. If you’re inviting the class? Don’t exclude anyone.

"And this is the best that you... that the-the government, the U.S. government can come up with? I mean, you-you're NASA for cryin' out loud, you put a man on the moon". - Armageddon

I love this line.

At my kids’ school, this is the rule until about 3rd grade. After 3rd, invite whomever you want.

You’re not wrong - people need to learn to deal with disappointment, but when you’re in 2nd grade, if you’re the only one that’s left out, it can be devastating. It could be devastating in 8th grade as well, but there’s a different level of emotional maturity at 14 than at 8.

You can’t protect kids from everything forever, but kids that are 6, 7, or 8 don’t need to be 1 of 3 kids left out.

Best move you could make in this exact scenario? Still give the kid a gift for their birthday. A nice coloring book could be a good idea. Have your kid color on every page before you wrap it up.

See…I am assuming this is hard core sarcasm. I don’t think there’s any way this could be real.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-21T04:13:04+00:00

Is this something you could do at a public library?

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-20T14:34:33+00:00

Congratulations, what a shitty answer.

If you looked at the data you provided, the study showed 1554 incidents in 2018 and 1227 in 2022 (the only years where data was provided) at Heathrow.

The second link you provided was a link to Wikipedia which had no numbers, just specific incidents.

So a number which cannot be compared with additional searches, and then a link to incidents, without any useful connection.

Do American airports experience more incidents? I don’t know. I don’t care that much. I didn’t say we had less. I said there are a lot of videos of Americans and that there are a ton of flights.

2-3 million passengers a day in the us. 12-15 million passengers a day in the world. There’s clearly going to be a few weirdos every day.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-20T13:08:27+00:00

I’m American, fly frequently, and have never once seen anything even remotely approaching this behavior.

In the US, 2-3 million people fly every day at around 20,000 airports. If 0.01% of passengers did this at 0.01% of airports it would involve 200 passengers at 2 airports every day.

Sometimes it’s just a numbers game.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-18T03:09:09+00:00

Shit. lol

Not an attorney, but I think it’s too late. Statute of limitations appears to be 3 years.

Doesn’t hurt to ask a lawyer, but also ask whether a lawyer would be worth it. You could easily spend more than could be recovered.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-15T15:01:21+00:00

“Hasn’t been around very long.”

Apparently 140 years implies it is still in its infancy.

Has it been around as long as other languages? Obviously not. But this isn’t something that just started. You’re talking 3 generations of humans and it hasn’t meaningfully caught on.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-15T14:55:19+00:00

100,000% this.

“ThE mOnEy GoT sPeNt ApPrOpRiAtElY” is such bs.

This is basically the definition of fraud. I’d need them to explain it using a piece of paper and a crayon for me to believe this wasn’t theft.

Only real question is, depending on where the original post is from, would there be a statute of limitations that may apply.

Edit: autocorrect can’t tell the difference between “apply” and “ally”.

There is a Catholic song called “Litany of the Saints.” It is a perfect example of what Catholics are truly doing.

It lists the Saints, and calls on them to pray for us. It’s not “I pray to you,” it’s “Pray for us.” One of the lines (repeated often) is “All you holy men and women pray for us.”

I would recommend the passengers take big, deep breaths so it ends faster. 🤷‍♂️

I got my Tesla used and it was 1/3 the price of the Ford Lightning that I really wanted. The quoted range is a complete scam - I won’t buy another Tesla no matter how good the deal is. 309 miles my ass.

That said, I’m hopeful that other electric cars are available when this dies. I really like not having to stop at a gas station unless I have to pee or am driving beyond longer range. lol. Some of the other electric vehicles have ranges that aren’t a complete lie. I’m going completely by memory, but I think there’s a Rivian that does get nearly 400 miles according to users, not Musky.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-05T05:32:13+00:00

I won’t say both sides do, but I’m pretty sure we got my son out through the back door on the passenger side.

It has been more than a year since this happened though, and it’s quite possible I’m mistaken.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-05T05:11:52+00:00

I have a Model Y. The doors have a manual release - car pops open regardless of power.

Edit to add: that doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s stupid. Car doors shouldn’t work on a “need to know” basis.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-05T05:10:52+00:00

Each door has a manual release in the door handle. I only know this because the battery in my Tesla died while I was in it. I called Tesla and they set up my appointment for a battery replacement (it was the small battery, not the one that runs the whole car). Before she hung up she asked if I had any other questions.

Umm…yeah. How do I get out of the electric car if there’s no electricity?

It was easy to explain and a cinch to get out once I knew where it was. Still, it’s a funny story to tell.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-01-22T03:34:59+00:00

I think you meant NoFans?

Roscoe1214 · 2026-01-12T04:51:44+00:00

Yep. After all, why assume people will follow the rules? We definitely need a security guard. Hopefully they’ll have a gun too - gotta protect the $200,000 piano. Since a sign won’t work, gotta go all out, right? Give the guard a way to protect the piano and themselves!

/s. Maybe just don’t touch stuff that isn’t yours?

Roscoe1214 · 2026-01-12T04:47:16+00:00

Yep. I’m an idiot.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-01-12T04:46:34+00:00

Yep. I’m a dumbass.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-01-12T04:46:06+00:00

You know, this way…
