John Katshit, Hero to NeverTrump, Is Rude to Airplane Crew and Then Bumps a Passenger After Taking Her Seat Because He Refused to Lower Himself to be Bumped Out of First Class
Former Ohio gov. John Kasich stole comedian's seat on Alaska Airlines flight after refusing to be downgraded to premium economy when he was bumped out of first class to make room for a pilot Julie Klausner got on the Alaska Airlines flight on January 16 to find Kasich in her seat She did not confront him but asked staff who explained that he had refused to be downgraded to premium A pilot who had to fly at the other end of the journey had been given Kasich's seat and he was bumped out because he paid the least, the airline said Instead of moving, he jumped into Klausner's seat because it was empty She got off the plane after standing at the front with staff, in front of him, because she said she did not want to cause a 'stink' Kasich, she claimed, had already been unpleasant to the staff on board Klausner tweeted about the incident and also discussed it in her podcast Kasich, who until January 3 had the use of private, state aircraft, has not commented He had been behaving like a 'douchebag a**hole' in the lounge beforehand, she saidThese NeverTrumpers have such character and class and possess first-class temperaments, is what they're always insisting to me.
He knows I'm standing right in front of him because that's my seat. Finally a ticket agent comes on the plane and looks and sees that John Kasich is sitting there and he shook his head and he says, "This guy was downgraded and he refused to go into the seat he was newly assigned and he sat in yours and that's your seat,"" Klausner said in her podcast. 'Instead of saying, OK I'm going to go sit in 12C which has the extra legroom, she said it was premium and not economy, he got really mad and was a total d**k to the staff and sat in my staff instead. 'That is what was told to me,' she added.There's a picture of Katshit just having planted himself in the stolen seat and pretending he's not aware of the person standing inches to his right telling the stewardress that he stole her seat. Not entitled at all. Maybe The BullFluffer (the Bulwark) can try to spare his public image by doing a photoshop where he's wearing those Meme Sunglasses that were cool
We face a two-fold challenge today: not merely resisting the pressures of the Left, but also a conservative movement that is being driven by grifters and mountebanks into a dark hole of nativism [opposition to the corporate cuck open borders agenda] protectionism [ditto], isolationism [ditto], and fabulism [claims that open borders reduces wages and job opportunities for actual Americans]. The Bulwark will stand in the breach and shout, "You can't be serious?"Wow. What a rousing call to arms. Like Henry V. Talk more about your manbaby obsessions like superhero movies and gay nerd shit, Jonathan.

The delusional rantings of these BullFluffer people are really disturbing. My favorite is the idiocy of calling rule of law, and rational immigration policy "nativism".
It's just the obvious equivalent of the slander of "racism", which is 100% false, at all times. But thinking these people are intelligent enough to know how stupid and vile they are is itself a dangerous delusion.

Also overbooking. How many people book a flight and then don't show up? If they don't show up without a damn good provable reason then charge their card and voila, problem solved. Even better have someone on a dirt cheap fare on standby and you get a twofer out of the deal. I love when they start their offer at 20 bucks and a donut. Yea, nope. I did take on offer once as it was a $400.00 voucher. Too good to pass up.

meaning "in" or "on"), and the noun "banco" ("bench"). Put these
components together and you can deduce the literal origins of
"mountebank" as someone mounted on a bench - the "bench" being the
platform on which charlatans from the 16th and 17th centuries would
stand to sell their phony medicines. Mountebanks often included various
forms of light entertainment on stage in order to attract customers.
Later, extended uses of "mountebank" referred to someone who falsely
claims to have knowledge about a particular subject or a person who
simply pretends to be something he or she is not in order to gain
attention.

I also noticed that. I usually see deadheads riding in Premium Economy. Maybe he was a bigwig. Either way, the airline clearly had bumping rules in place and Kasich decided not to follow them. If he disagrees with the bumping rules (he may have a point, not sure without more detail) then the answer is to never fly that airline again.

While I agree, IF, and I'm stretching a little to defend the airline, if it was a long enough flight the pilot had to sleep then first class may be mandatory. lay flat seats and all. but idk if this flight would qualify.
but I have noticed pilots sleeping in first when doing long haul flights.
but that doesn't account for the airline NOT HAVING MADE that arrangement prior to selling the seats.
but either way, this ends with the mail-douche being treated special

I know what the contract says. I've flown a lot of miles and been bumped out of many seats.
It's a bullshit policy and as long as the airlines are allowed to operate a virtual monopoly on many routes they should also be forced to offer fair contracts. I don't know any other industry that is allowed to get away with this let alone one that is so heavily regulated, largely because they can't stop fucking people over.

One serious screw into a stud will hold against 5,000 of pressure against it. If people looked into their kitchen cabinets and saw how few screws were holding them up they might get nervous. But it's actually getting the correct length screw deeply into the center of the stud that's most important. If you're spanning a distance of three studs, sure it would be nice to hit all three, but one out of three is okay. Wall anchors on the other two is good.

You mean a nurse or clinic aide performing a post-birth abortion in a ghetto walk-in clinic.
These "reproductive rights" bills aren't only extending window on abortion, but:
-- allowing non-doctors to preform it
-- dropping any requirements that these places providing abortions must meet hospital standards
It will take a patient or two (what one might call a "mom" in other circumstances) dying, but even then, I bet it's like the Gosnell coverup, or maybe turned into something racial, like "women of color deserve netter abortion care!!"

That's not a comfy seat, by the way, but it's a great view, being situated directly abaft the center-console.
'Bout 1980, I was on a TACA airlines flight out of Houston, heading for Costa Rica. I was the contract-photographer for a church group which was going to put on crusades and services there.
Soon as we're out of U.S. airspace, the stewardess (yes, that's what she was, then), came to tell me that the pilot wanted to see me up in the cockpit. Needless to say, my first thought was "what'd I do wrong?"
Turns out, the pilot had seen me festooned with Nikon gear and carrying a large nylon gear bag in one hand and a Halliburton camera case in the other. He was a serious shutterbug himself, and wanted to talk cameras while the autopilot flew the plane between landings.
Of which, there were plenty. Turns out our flight was NOT "direct" to San Jose. Nope.
Landed in every country between the USA and Costa Rica. And twice in Mexico.
That view out of the jump seat was spectacular, and so were the photos.
The jump seat itself though? NOT luxurious, not even slightly.
And of course, since 9/11, an invite like that one to the flight deck, just ain't gonna happen ever again.

---------------------
That's local stuff, though. Different dynamics in play, as you're talking about a much more limited voter base. Additionally, the people being abused were employees, as opposed to random members of the public.
Plus, one of those guys had Kennedy at the end of his name.
Presidential (and even "merely" gubernatorial, imo) is a whole 'nother ballgame. At that level, it becomes cost effective for an "unaligned" PAC to start running ads 24/7 that paint your opponent as the entitled twerp who steals seats from women.
John "Son of a Mailman" Kasich instead becomes John "Seat Thief" Kasich.
If Kasich had merely yelled at the employees, or refused to budge out of his originally assigned seat, it'd be one thing. And I don't think that would hurt his chances badly in a future election. But stealing the seat of a random passenger makes this much worse than it otherwise could have been.

These "reproductive rights" bills aren't only extending window on abortion, but:
-- allowing non-doctors to preform it
-- dropping any requirements that these places providing abortions must meet hospital standards
It will take a patient or two (what one might call a "mom" in other circumstances) dying, but even then, I bet it's like the Gosnell coverup, or maybe turned into something racial, like "women of color deserve netter abortion care!!"

Works well if players understand the game and agree to play at a similar tier of power.
The flexibility in terms of what you can build really is amazing though. The lack of ability to customize things in 4th edition is why I skipped over it. 5th edition seems to be trying to balance the considerations of out of box viability and customization, but looks like it will be ruined by SJW influence.

If Kasich had merely yelled at the employees, or refused to budge out of his originally assigned seat, it'd be one thing. And I don't think that would hurt his chances badly in a future election. But stealing the seat of a random passenger makes this much worse than it otherwise could have been.

The pilot might be a "must fly" because
a) some other pilot got sick
b) because of weather, some other crew will time out
c) the pilot is from another airline
"schedule shit better next time" is not a solution.
It's travel. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's not.
If you "fix" this problem, something else will get worse.
We used to have a problem where maybe one or two planes a year got stuck on the tarmac for 4+ hours. Now, to avoid the fine from that, the airlines just cancel any flights that might be affected.

I have not seen the flight-ranter video discussed above, and if she was ranting anout back folks because they were black, that's terrible.
But objecting to being seated between two people who effectively ocupy three seats, even loudly and impolitely, I can live with. If that's the case, she wasn't really getting what she paid for, and as a rider of public transport, I can sympathize.
I understand that somewhere along the way this country decided 300 pounds is normal for someone 5'5" but I don't think I should have to "share" my already cramped seat with them just because they can't confine themselves to their own.

If we're talking about game design, I don't think "well, if the players are smart and competent, and agree to what they're doing it works fine" is a good argument, because if that's the case, you'll have fun no matter what you play.
I won't tell you how to have fun, but my definition of a good system is one that works well out of the box without having to do a lot of tinkering and isn't easily broken by the players. 3.5 doesn't do that by itself.

Back when 3.5 came out, I had a friend in our group raving about it, so I took a look at it. It looked like it was going to be a real pain to run even if I could decipher the rules, which I wasn't sure I could do. So I asked him to run a couple of sessions.
He came back a couple of weeks later and said it was even more complicated than it looked, and was too much work to run.
I will say about 5E that, while I wouldn't want to run it, it is not for reasons of complexity; 5E is very simple, at least to create a character for. And it is by far the best-edited D&D rulebook I have ever read.

If we're talking about game design, I don't think "well, if the players are smart and competent, and agree to what they're doing it works fine" is a good argument, because if that's the case, you'll have fun no matter what you play.
I won't tell you how to have fun, but my definition of a good system is one that works well out of the box without having to do a lot of tinkering and isn't easily broken by the players. 3.5 doesn't do that by itself.
Posted by: joe, living dangerously at January 30, 2019 01:48 PM (KUaJL)
There's a framework for highly complex and powerful characters that I didn't have to build. And rules that I don't have to invent for any number of miscellaneous activities.
Any game that allows for stronger and weaker characters will have imbalance, its the tradeoff for flexibility. In 4e they tried to address that by making all classes virtual clones of each other. If a group doesn't work well together and mesh, you're going to have a bad time either way.
In terms of tinkering its only something I've started doing the last year or so to make certain character concepts more viable at certain levels of play. Before then we played RAW for years without much problem, just occasional banning of certain combinations(infinite attacks, invincibility).

It's been a long time, but IIRC you just dump salt in a cup of warm water until the dice floats. Then you can give it a few spins to see if it gives random results.
Or if it gives predictable results, I guess. But only if you're inclined to hold something like that in the back of your mind for those certain times predictable results might be valuable.

It would have worked okay if she'd had been a more interesting, compelling, and lovable character. Even in the first movie she wasn't particularly likable, just really cute.
This is one of my pet peeves about romance in films though, 99.999% of them the female romantic interest is that way only because she's pretty and that's how the story is written. She's not someone you'd fall in love with, she's not someone you want to be with, she's just gorgeous, and that's supposed to be enough. And its not, not for a romance. And these days, the men are written the same way "he's pretty, so she loves him"

There's always that too. Also had some lady with her emotional support ankle biter barking for 3 plus hours. I was about ready to let fluffy outside at 32,000 feet.

Surely the airline should know beforehand if one of their employees is going to have to deadhead on a flight, and hold a seat in reserve for that person.
And if they absolutely must bump somebody, why not ask for passengers to volunteer, with some sort of comp to sweeten the deal?

What if Qualudes had this magical ability to make women feel better about themselves? Their bodies, their facial appearance, perhaps less caring about what other people said about them. They got better sleep at night, woke up rested in the morning. They enjoyed sex and found it an important part of their lives.
Seems like a perfect drug that would make about 95% of the SJW's types retire from combat.
I'm devoting the remainder of my life, or until the end of business hours today, to continue my relentless pursuit of making them legal again. For women only though. Guys get the same effect from a couple of cans of beer.

I trying to think of other examples besides Lauren Bacall. There are some, I just cannot think of them.

Julia Roberts or Meg Ryan.
There are objectively hotter women around, but when they wanted to turn it on, they could be charming or adorable.

Agreed on Meg Ryan, and your point in general, but I was thinking more smoky sex appeal.
Ann Margret?

Bleach has good anti-freeze properties. It also softens rubber. If your tires are spinning on ice, a splash of bleach on the treads of the drive tires will often get you going again.

There was one time years ago I was flying home from New York (business trip) and when we landed at IAH and got to the gate, the flight attendant got on the PA and told everyone to remain seated until told otherwise. Didn't take long for the word to spread that then-Houston mayor Kathy Whitmire was on the plane, and she insisted that no one be allowed to deplane until she got off and drove away in her limo, which was waiting on the tarmac. Knowing "Kathy Whitless" as she was known as most of us did, this was not a surprise.

JessiP: "Why wasn't he arrested by an air marshal. Literally anyone else who did what he did would have been."
Yep. Laws are supposed to matter and those enforcing them are not supposed to discriminate.
But I guess we've all just accepted that this is a Nation of Men Not Laws now.

Time. Running an auction would take extra time.
If they are dealing with this on the plane, they found out about the deadheading pilot after boarding started.
If you are involuntarily bumped, the compensation is set :
1 - 2 hours: 2 x your one-way up to $675
> 2 hours 4 x your one-way up to $1350
The above is in addition to putting you on the next flight to your destination.

When Kasich was in Congress 25 years ago, he would fly commercial, to save taxpayer money. I was next to him on a flight.

-------------
The organization has applied for federal tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law...
Of course if IRS denies the exemption, then those contributions made during the application period become non-deductible.
----------
In other words, please contribute under the assumption that your funds are tax-deductible, but if it turns out they're not - suckers! No refund.
Pathetic.

Goldie Hawn seemed like the kind of girl who could jackhammer you until your pelvis cracked.
Katie Holmes is that cute girl in the front row in English class.
