Cis patriarchy ducks are rapey as phuck.  My waterfowl professor describes pen-raised mallard drakes as "rape specialists". I would bet money Ci is in on the action |

That's more than a little unsettling. As someone who has spent more time traveling by air than the average American, poor treatment of passengers by airlines* is something that I have seen more than once. Mind you, the wave of stupid that they have to deal with from travelers is also of epic proportions.** On one hand the terms of purchasing airline tickets essentially boil down to the fact that the airline has no obligation to put you on any given flight or meet any schedule, or even to transport you anywhere. There is so much wiggle room in the terms that what you are buying is a chance to maybe travel by air. They don't really become responsible for you until your flight has pulled away from the terminal. On the other hand, if they had overbooked*** and needed to bump 4 people from the flight the time to do so was before boarding passengers onto the plane. Period. What makes this incident worse is that he was bumped so they could put 4 airline employees on the flight. Doesn't really matter why those airline employees needed to get to the flight's destination, they should have gone on another flight been set via another carrier either as a professional courtesy/partner ship-alliance or (Heaven Forbid!) by buying a ticket just like any other traveler. Does the airline have the right to boot someone off a flight? Yes. Should they do so for anything less than an emergency? No. Should the laws relating to commercial air travel and ticket purchase terms be changed to severely discourage airlines from overbooking and treating customers like cattle in other ways as well? Absolutely. Overbooking as a practice needs to be banned and among other things minimum seat size standards need to be established. *Airlines, as in management and terminal workers, not the aircrew on board the flights. While there are some sweethearts in the terminals, and some curmudgeons working in cabin crews, by and large the grumpy/rude/inflexible/indifferent quotient is higher in airline personnel on the ground than it is among those in the air....which is odd as the aircrews have to put up with more crap from passengers than the ground crew for any hours on end. **I suspect part of the reason for this is that air travel has become much more affordable in the last decade or so, and in the past the higher effective cost kept out the "People of Walmart" crowd which seem to cause most of the problems. ***Speaking of "overbooking".....while I understand the reasoning behind overbooking flights, in that statistically a percentage of ticketed passengers will not show and the airline wants to maximize profits by having all the seats on a flight filled, I think it should be unlawful as if it were not for the fine print weasel language in the terms of purchase it would be considered fraud. If I have 6 widgets for sale and take money from 8 people and then fail to deliver widgets to two of them I would have committed fraud. I don't see much difference between that and selling tickets for 104 passengers on a plane that only has 100 seats. |

Oh good, they're going to start another ice age.  When are these overeducated idiots going to recall that the Earth used to be much, much warmer in the distant past with palm trees growing where Antarctica is now, that we entered a period of global cooling called an ice age, climate changed and got colder....all without homosapiens being involved, then warmed up again...also without homosapiens being involved. This occurred a few times before we came along, but because these idiot watermellons* hate themselves** and all other human beings they need to figure out how to blame us for a natural cycle. Their "climate model" based predictions have consistently been so far off the mark that they may as well just be making that stuff up***. That being the case, they're about to try and trigger cooling without a real ability to accurately predict the outcome. Idiots. *Green on the outside, Red on the inside. **Understandable, warranted and appropriate, and probably the only valid judgment they've ever had. ***Well, according to some leaked information a few years back that's exactly what they've been doing. |

4chan May Have Already Located Shia LaBeouf’s New Art Exhibit
milo.yiannopoulos.net/2017/04/4chan-alone-together/
It appears 4chan users are not done terrorizing Shia LaBeouf just yet.
According to The Verge, LaBeouf is currently engaging in an art project that “involves texting people from a remote cabin in Finland.”
The project, called #ALONETOGETHER is intended to last a month and will be shared with the world via a live stream. The location of LaBeouf’s cabin is apparently so secret that people in Finland aren’t even allowed to tune into the live stream.
That doesn’t matter, though, because the sleuths on 4chan – who recently wreaked havoc on LaBeouf’s #HEWILLNOTDIVIDEUS project by repeatedly capturing his flags – have apparently already tracked the cabin down.

We should fire everyone at the CIA, NSA, and all the other alphabet intelligence agencies, then hire the folks over at 4chan as our new intelligence service and cyberwarfare agency. Offer them $200k a year, top computer equipment of their individual choice, and provide a non-stop on demand supply of mountain dew, hot pockets, pizza, and whatever else they care to munch on. No dress code, no fixed hours, no "staff meetings", and very little "hierarchy".....just a huge pool of persons gifted with weaponized autism to whom the liaison to the rest of the government can come with a mission and say (for example), "I have three missions that need to be performed. We need to know what Kim Jong-un had for breakfast today, we need to know if Putin's chauffeur likes classical music, and someone has kidnapped the puppy our ambassador to Paraguay gave to a local children's hospital.....we'd like the perp identified and the dog located so we can get the puppy back and kill the perp as a matter of pride and to make a point. So, who want's to run with which mission?" Bet you they'd have all the answers in 48 hours or less. |

I have often thought that the .gov would do well to immediately hire anybody who successfully cracks the system of an agency or major private sector company as consultants as an alternative to civil or criminal prosecution. |

+1. Crowd source is the way of the future. IIRC the net did half the FBI's job for them with the Boston marathon. I dont remember if the spotted the tweedle dee brothers first, but I know they eliminated a metric crap ton of ppl, all without the same information the FBI had access to.
