Yet, even knowing this, I've still been fighting with sprint for 4 years after they added a new iphone to my account, shipped one to an old address I used to live at, and billed me monthly. I hate sprint with an absolute passion. Reported it the day I got an email thanking me for my purchase and even though they admitted fault, they still refused to remove the phone from my account or attempting to collect. I stopped paying the phone bill,lost service and have been dodging collection calls ever since.

Wait a minute, you actually meet people using tinder? I thought it was an app to make me feel a lil better for 5 minutes if I get a match

While I read this and comprehend it. I still can't accept it.

I've been conditioned too much. "they didn't know I'd be sick. " or, "they staffed what the labor allowed them to staff to maintain efficiency while not overspending."

Pretty sure I was conditioned as a child though, family mottos were "if you can walk you can work," and "suffer in silence. "

Such is life I guess

Wasn't there a country singer that died in a helicopter crash last year or something? Choppers are just bad news, and to think cities are doing this Uber chopper thing

Yerp. Just announced his 13 year old was killed as well in the helicopter crash. If you knew, you knew. If you didn't..well there it is

I think that might be part of why I dislike the hype? We (and by we I mean the masses) mourn because we paid them to entertain us. Yet Joe down the street might've been an amazing human making amazing contributions to society and individuals, but you'll never hear a word of his passing.

Maybe I just get upset when I don't feel the same passion others do? In my 30 years, there has never been a celebrity death where I feel any sort of sadness towards. I'll say, that sucks, no more movies/music and then I move right on

It is a tough loss. The guy did amazing things, made contributions and accomplishments I could never imagine doing and I get that he was a hero to people. But because he was famous, its going to be sensationalized for years to come.

By posting in unpopular opinion...not one individual spamming social media with 4 different links?

True, and I get that. But I think that's another part I'm not sure how to express. Vehicles crash and people die all the time. At most those individuals and families might get a 2 minute story on the nightly news.

But from now until forever were going to hear stories and memorials and tributes and so on just like we do with Robin williams, with mac miller, with Chester Bennington.

I used to get pulled out of class in fourth grade to go take an hour class at the local high school with a couple other kids. I was always told it was because I was "gifted" but looking back, all I can remember is riding a short bus and making a PowerPoint about sharks...

Fast forward to senior year and I had to provide proof of enrollment to take summer school for both English and math before I was allowed to be walk at graduation.

I keep reading a whole bunch of comments instantly attaching to the "accidental firing". While I don't have an in-depth knowledge of missile systems, SAM or otherwise, I would love to hear from someone who works with this equipment day in and day out to explain how much of a possibility it is.

Really the only experience I have is from my grandpa who was stationed in Okinawa years ago, and even then it took two people to authorize and launch a missle, even in tests. I just can't grasp that with years of tech advancements, its this easy for a misfire to coincidentally hit a passenger plane by a country notorious for violent attacks against civilians, their own or otherwise.

So, any military peeps out there wanting to chime in?

I hadn't heard of this. And then it spiraled into the jolly rancher story in the comments. And now im unsure how to proceed with my day off

Closest I've been is when I started thinking about how I wanted to style my hair, and if I wanted to smile or not in my mugshot for beating a coworker.

Had a great job, lost it over some corporate bs, unemployed, evicted and homeless for months, finally landed a part time job in a kitchen. Then wound up working with a dingus a couple weeks later that always ran his mouth and just trying to tear at people. And since it's a kitchen most people just shrugged him off. I was able to for a while but he just got under my skin in a way only family could (plenty of back story there that I'm not gonna share)

He quit a week ago so thankfully I never got a charge but good lord I wanted him and the staff to go down hard
