At least it's not United.

My dad is a pilot for Alaska Airlines... have you guys had good experience with them? :X  I really hope so, I use them fairly often (being a pilot's son gets ya benefits) and I've never had issues.

Me and the guy I was traveling with did some calculations, and between walking out through security for smokes, walking the the trail of tears that is MSP's concourse system trying to find a place to eat, relax, bathrooms (wherein I saw things I cannot repeat out of sheer disgust).....I believe I walked about 5 miles today.

Thank god I'm home. I should feel like a normal person again after a shower and a day of decompression.

At least it's not United.

Probably the best possible way to get back at the airline. Vengeful country music.

Reading Fast Food Nation for school, its contents are just incredibly rageworthy.

[bukitodinos]

how so? rage as in "thats so right people are dumb!" or rage as in "BURN ALL COPIES OF THIS BOOK ON SIGHT!" or rage as in "This author is stupid"

[Aklyon]

Most books specifically read for school generally aren't great. They're either stupid (like in possibly furt's case), are shakespeare and take forever and a half to get through because half the class doesn't know what in the heck they're saying, or other.

[Furtuka]

No I mean rage as in it makes you want to start a revolution type rage

It's funny you say this, because when my class read Julius Caesar, I read all the parts of people who died, Marc Antony's speech, and most of the longer parts, because I was the only one who understood what they were saying. Then I got to put it into layman's terms for everyone. I especially liked Marc Antony's speech because when I explained it, people were like, "Oh those guys are sooooooo fucked."

Internet blacking out periodically after having it already fixed to remedy the exact problem that it's been having consistently.

[miauw62]

Some dumbass wants to promote competive sport in belgian elementary schools.

I think that this will only cause the less sportive children (like i was) to feel worse...
And obviously make the popular kids more popular.

I think.

[Putnam]

It's not that bad, except for some of the more extremely introverted children. Besides that, some competition is always good.

We really shouldn't have to avoid actions to prevent some people from feeling bad.

Well, you know, we all want to change the world.

Not fully agreeing with you, here. Something about organized team sports somehow turns a significant fraction of children into raging assholes. Could have done without that shit when I was younger. Only thing it taught was that being a asshat wins games and makes a fair chunk of other people miserable. Not a single damn positive thing from it, unless you count a foundation for misanthropy as a good thing.

Pickup games or whatever with friends (i.e. non-assholes or, if you lean that way, assholes) aren't that bad. Competitive sports in public school was fucking miserable, as a rule.

We really shouldn't have to avoid actions to prevent some people from feeling bad.

Man, what? Maybe if there was a second option of some sort, which I guess there might be in some areas. Kids don't want to play with jackasses, they shouldn't be forced to play with jackasses.
