Tasteless link A link to an article
about Ahlens ( the Swedish store in Stockholm that
the beer truck was crashed into) is reopening tomorrow and having a sale
on all the goods that were damaged due to the attack and smoke. Probably one of the most Tasteless things I
have ever heard of. Why not donate the goods instead? Or just toss them. Never shopping there again.

Yeah, it's a big problem over there. I think there's a website where you can donate to the cause to help them.

Again, I agree. But this law apparently wasn't about infections, it was about situations that might have hypothetically caused infections.

I'm not the first person to ask this but if America warned Russia of the air strike why didn't Russia warn Syria?

He was still being really nice to her and said tell me where you want to go and I will take you even with her going off at him. So he finally asked her to get out. He was much more polite than this other Uber driver that dragged a drunk girl out of his car.

NPR - Are We Witnessing the Beginning of the End for Free Music Streaming?

This week, Spotify bowed to Universal's demands that they withhold certain albums from the free tier of listeners.

Spotify has always been absolutely useless for my particular music needs, but I understand that it is a major player in how people consume music. The pressures of the Copyright Royalty Board, coupled with Spotify's deal with Universal, Warner, and Sony Music threaten the longevity and functionality of the free and ad-supported listening tier.

Don't know how I missed the premiere of this vid in January. Pete Majarich spent all of 2016 creating A Movie Poster A Day. Here, in just 2 minutes, is the complete project.

Passengers on a United flight from Chicago to Louisville, Ky., were horrified when a man was forcibly removed — violently wrenched from his seat and physically dragged down the aisle — to clear a seat for airline staff.

United has not responded to NPR's requests for comment, but on Twitter, a representative of the airline said the flight in question was "overbooked" and that "one customer refused to leave."

"This is an upsetting event to all of us here at United," company CEO Oscar Munoz said in a statement. He said the airline is conducting a "detailed review" of what happened, and reaching out to the passenger in question.

Multiple videos and photos were posted on social media, and other passengers described the incident online — at first upset about the delay, and then horrified by the violent turn of events.
Passenger Forcibly Removed From United Flight, Prompting Outcry : The Two-Way : NPR

This is f*cking unbelievable. Video in the link. I'll never fly United again and I hope they go out of business. This will be fun to watch over the next few days. For the record, this isn't surprising coming from United, at least from me.

Frownland 04-10-2017 11:20 AM

Their justification is that he was asked several times, which I don't get. Why even ask if he can't say no?

Exo 04-10-2017 11:30 AM

He said no because he legit had a place to be in the morning and didn't want to give up his seat which he paid for. I don't understand why airlines think it's okay to force somebody out of a seat that they paid for because the airline f*cked up. YOU F*CKED UP. Why the hell does anybody have to lose their flight?

Whoever gave the green light for the random selection of passengers to remove should lose their job. You don't stop at $800 and a hotel night stay before you go to security. What the f*ck did they think was going to happen? You keep upping the money until somebody caves, which they will after it hits 2k. People like money. So instead of shelling out 2k and having it be done with, you now have a PR sh*tstorm which could honestly grow out of control. People are OUTRAGED right now.

Some airlines have private jets when they need employees elsewhere and a flight is booked. United is awful.

Janszoon 04-10-2017 11:34 AM

I was talking about this with my coworkers at lunch. It's such bullshit. I hope he gets rich suing the hell out of the airline.

Think about this. The guy said he was a doctor and he had to see patients in the morning. Now those appointments will be postponed causing a probable chain reaction that will delay further patients from seeing him. Who knows how sick those patients are. Also, he probably has a serious concussion after seeing the video where he got back on the plane. He was delirious. He'll have to be cleared before being allowed to go back to work.

United just f*cked so many people because THEY overbooked a flight.

:banghead:

OccultHawk 04-10-2017 11:47 AM

Yeah

If the police tell me to get off a plane I'm politely getting off.

He doesn't own the plane. Most of you believe in private property. Why the **** do you think the company that owns the plane can't kick someone the **** off?

All the **** going on in the world and this goes viral lol

Oh so shocking that the police use force to enforce the law

Also, why were they doing this after people had already been seated? I've been on plenty of overbooked flights before, they always bump people at the gate, before they board. It sounds like the airline employees were completely incompetent.

I firmly believe you posted this just to be a little sh*t. If that's what you'd do then have fun being pushed around like a chump. You wouldn't though. You'd be pissed. You're just trying hard to be against the majority. The outrage for this is perfectly acceptable and I'm one who thinks that this "outrage" culture is killing the country. This however, is acceptable reaction to what actually happened.

Frownland 04-10-2017 12:06 PM

I got a medical marijuana delivery and it turns out that I got the last joint. When I went outside to smoke it ten minutes later I noticed that the delivery man was knocking on my door. I went to him and he told me that one of the employees really wanted that joint and I'd have to give it back. I refused, and the police came and knocked me out to return the joint to the delivery driver.

I should've just given him the joint right?

There's groups of people who I will always comply with and be respectful of, regardless of the circumstances.

Doctors.
Police.
And since 9/11, Airline employees.

Take the cash and free hotel room rather than trying to "win" in that situation.

Trollheart 04-10-2017 01:06 PM

Surely an airline should be more concerned with keeping their passengers ie customers happy than their staff? I mean, if this was an emergency, someone needed to get to hospital etc, sure, you would expect the guy to give up his seat. But for a ****ing worker at the airline? Someone whose salary, at this point, he is paying or at least contributing to? Don't understand. **** United Airlines.

Yeah except you aren't a dr. that has the important job of getting to his patients on time by the morning.
