Yeah.

Normally this time of year my college team, pro team, or fantasy team are doing well so football is enjoyable.

But not this year, so I felt a bit listless.

Yup, that time of year when I have to turn on my theater-kid mode and pretend I enjoy all the work-related stuff I have to show up to and “enjoy” or it could literally hurt my career.

Exactly.

And if you’re someone who has lost a lot of weight, and lived in the world of a fat person and an average-sized person, you know that very well.

Not at all.

Our culture hates fat people and thinks being fat is a moral failing. This doesn’t surprise me at all, and it likely hasn’t even crossed most people’s minds to blame billionaire capitalists instead of fat people.

The value is being transported from point a to b.

If you flew in the 80’s or 90’s, then you know how significantly de-regulation has affected the value of the product.

Frankly, you’re wrong, but you have a right to be. The problem here isn’t fat people, it’s rich people wanting to extract more money from passengers while offering nothing of value in return.

Have a great day.

You’re just reinforcing my point here.

That’s why airlines need to be regulated. It should be illegal to draw a profit while giving zero value.

No.

Airlines should be regulated so the seats are larger and accommodate larger people.

And if you managed to fly before airlines were deregulated, then you know that this was once the norm and isn’t too much to ask.

I work in legal tech.

Can confirm. We’re weird, and you don’t want to piss off accounting.

I see it all the time. Not your fault, and apologies if that seemed accusatory. :)

Would be nice if this weren’t posted every single week.

And probably more guns per capita.

Many famous phrases and quotes are misunderstandings or fabricated. It’s interesting to read about it.

Whoever it is, I appreciate them. :)

Could be.

I have a fan that auto-downvotes all my posts. I’m not sure who it is, but probably someone on my block list.

If you’re on Windows, the new O&O ShutUp gives you the option to delete Copilot.

Just leave it in another room.

For a week or two you’ll reach for it because you’re conditioned to do so, but you’ll eventually break that weird urge.

Oh, man.

I’d be mortified.

The worst I ever did was handing in a paper with a soda stain on it because I had a bottle crack in my bag and didn’t have time to reprint it before class.

You should know, Albert.

Everyone loves a pedant.

a single nationwide general strike will get rid of fascism.

You’re right.

I wish we could get the majority of Americans to just shut their wallets for two weeks, maybe only buy local, but they never will.

Normally, I agree. It’s hard to look at the last 20 years and conclude that protesting accomplishes anything meaningful.

In this case they do serve a purpose, which is to create widespread irrefutable evidence that sending the military to occupy US cities not only illegal, but wholly unnecessary.
