Used to be, if a plane got hijacked, the passengers were compliant and waited for it to be over. United 93 changed that forever.

For a little more context, it was because the hijackers were holding it hostage until some demand was met, or they were flying it to Cuba or wherever, and then the plane and passengers would be released. On 9/11, they turned the planes into missiles with innocent passengers aboard, and they were all expected to die. When the passengers realized this, they took action.

No idea, you’re the one that bought it. I did the same thing for a few years and never bought a plex pass.

It should be, but obviously not.

What we should be asking is why “selling a product” is no longer a business model.

Because they’re not selling a product, they’re selling an ongoing service. They run the relay servers, and those cost money every month.

Iran has a right to defend itself, right?

It’s often attributed to Yogi Berra, but it’s older than that: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/08/29/too-crowded/

Now that’s art.

Sometimes I forget. It would also be useful if I’m not in the kitchen and want to start it without having to go there and back to what I was doing while waiting for it to heat, if it’s something like a frozen pizza that doesn’t take much prep time.

The Louvre’s spontaneous strike erupted during a routine internal meeting, as gallery attendants, ticket agents and security personnel refused to take up their posts in protest over unmanageable crowds, chronic understaffing and what one union called “untenable” working conditions.

Good for them.

Sort of. We’re already seeing it with abortions; doctors are doing the best they can to give people necessary care, while also trying to not violate the law.

This has already resulted in deaths.

And honestly I don’t blame them. Even if they break the law to save one life, they can’t treat anyone when they’re jailed.

Reality hasn’t mattered to them for years

Usually they do have badges.

But if you’re across the street and can’t see whether or not they have badges, don’t mention it. All you can see is masks and guns.

Well that’s just objectively false. Like it or not, religion is a hugely significant part of history, and it’s incredibly important for contextualization.

Besides, in the modern era, if it’s not hurting anyone, why do you care? Let them alone to do their thing in peace.

“Oh you voted Republican? Sorry you voted to deny this care, goodbye”

“Wait not like that”

Of course that won’t actually happen, because an ethical doctor would treat people regardless.

“hey Google, preheat the oven to 350°”

It’d be nice to be able to do that while my hands are dirty doing something else, instead of stopping and cleaning them so I don’t put salmonella on the oven knobs.

He didn’t say he can’t, he said “but the site says!”

Yeah I know what the site says, I linked to it, I can read (usually). You know what I do when I want to do something? I try.

People who do wild shit like this generally don’t have a plan for afterwards.

I see the state of Minnesota and the words “special weapons” on that guy’s patch, so yeah these are the guys that would actually have the real gear to respond to stuff like this. Your everyday beat cop isn’t trained for it and shouldn’t carry more than pepper spray.

That doesn’t narrow it down

I’m guessing this parallels the whole strike itself, where Trump says he was personally involved every step of the way, but everyone else says he wasn’t.
