Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.
And I would imagine, you can correct me if I am wrong, but I can imagine as a seasoned flyer with decorum you took the inconvenience on the chin and dealt with the bad hand as a one-off and deferred to your betters of the next few hours, on your left and right.

Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.
I already addressed this with the below. In my experience middle seaters are usually a) people who rarely fly so they don't know anything b) poorer type people or c) people who know how to fly and do it a ton, but have had to accept a middle seat for a same-day flight change or stand-by option because their project ended early in XYZ and they want to get home earlier to ABC. In all the cases above, middle seat grins and bears being a second-class citizen for a few hours as the social contract dictates.

Dedicated Stranger Things Series Thread
I didn't watch a single second of it the last 10 years. But because it's one of the few vestages of monoculture (because it started like 10 years ago) I decided to speedrun the series and feel like I got a good grasp of the thing and invested around an hour in youtube recaps of season 1-4 and then a longer season 5 episode by episode recap. I got it, seems like it was decent and creative and nostalgic for the Gen-X folks. Personally I wouldn't have enjoyed it based on understanding it all now. But I can imagine a messageboard of UT guys and gals (smart/dorky), in their 50's (gen X, nostalgia), could love it.

Rumors are it could have been O&G employees as some of them had an advance notice.

Dedicated Stranger Things Series Thread
Just read online that (contrary to this thread) most online are deeply disappointed and creating alternative conspiracy theories: The Stranger Things Finale Was So Bad That Fans Are Convinced There’s Another Episode Surprise Dropping This WeekWe’ve got another “The Johnlock Conspiracy” situation on our hands. For the uninitiated, “Johnlock” was the ship name for John Watson and Sherlock Holmes from BBC’s Sherlock. “TJLC” was the fandom term for a very specific set of shippers who believed that the show’s January 2017 finale, where Holmes and Watson remained just friends, must be a smokescreen for the real finale where they ended up together. This time around the ship is Byler, or fans of Stranger Things fans that think that Will Byers and Mike Wheeler should have similarly ended up together in the finale. And, again like in 2017, fans are so angry about this that they’ve convinced themselves that there’s a secret second finale dropping this week. They’re calling it #ConformityGate and they believe that the last episode was all an illusion created by the show’s villain, Vecna, and that a new episode released on January 7th will confirm this.

Things not going well in Venezuela
We are a country world that is now deeply entrenched in the attention economy: Maduro’s arrest is connected to a new kind of politics I’ve spent the last year struggling to describe. A profoundly embarrassing collision of violent nationalism, illiterate social chatter, and memetic fascism that’s been spreading across the globe since the pandemic. We’ve seen hints for years now that the elites of the world are just as addicted to — and dependent on — the same social platforms that we are. Ignoring the near-constant public embarrassments of our shitposter ruling class that play out on platforms like X every day, our leaders are also digitally networking with each other behind closed doors. There’s Chatham House, the group chat that fried the minds of Silicon Valley’s most reactionary CEOs like Marc Andreessen, that’s been running since COVID started. Which is adjacent to the text message network of powerful men that convinced Elon Musk to buy Twitter in 2022. Last year, the Trump administration was caught planning out airstrikes in a Signal group. And days before the campaign in Venezuela, Republican operatives secretly teamed up with a far-right YouTuber to storm daycares in Minnesota. You take all of that and throw in last year’s Discord-based election in Nepal, the international white nationalist incel terror cells spreading across Telegram, and the fact Charlie Kirk’s killer allegedly carried out the attack for the members of his Discord channel and the picture couldn’t be clearer: Politics — and political violence — is now something performed, first and foremost, for an online audience. It almost doesn’t matter what happens irl if it makes noise online.

It reminds me of during the debates when Trump was called out for something unethical/illegal/negative that the D's would have been slammed for he simply replies, "Akshully, that makes me smart" and then the rubes eat it up. He's a genius bidness man!

Dallas Cowboys 2026 Offseason Thread: All in for one more win
Not really sure what you could have done better with this team as the die was cast years ago with the personnel decisions. The best avenue after trading Parsons (absolutely the right move as I said then and was proven when he was hurt) was to commit to the tanking so you can get a QB. George Pickens was a grand slam move and the defensive moves at the deadline were nice, but too little and too late and wholly unnecessary for long term planning and success. We need to think of a future without Dak and Ceedee. Cutting Diggs was awesome.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Houston is way bigger, way poorer in areas and way more desperate and hopelessness in some areas and way more criminal and poor, so why is that astounding to you?

Gone posters
What are you on about? Sorry just now seeing this (Happy Holidays everyone), but seriously, what? I'm not saying I didn't post about interacting with billionaires as I probably did if that was a topic, but was this about the ass pennies thing? Anyways sorry for partying and/or offending and/or whatever other issues you are having.

Greenland - Tassa Eller Asu !!!!
Serious question because I honestly don't know, but your post about "just say something and it's that way now" reminded me of this.... Do schools and institutions refer to Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America still or was that just a phase we went through? (It's not a phase, MOM!)
