For anyone curious, the citation is 14 CFR § 250.5. It's actually AT LEAST $1,550 (or 4x one-way) and it applies if the airline can't find y'all an alternative flight/means that gets there without an >2hr (domestic) or >4hr (int'l) delay

People who have likely averted WWIII by preventing a Russian attack:
* Submarine officer Vasili Arkhipov, by arguing with his superior, 1969
* Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov, by determining a launch was a false alarm, 1983
* Some lazy guy who let maintenance lapse on a missile, 2023
@caraesten
Looking at the article and the statement NEDA made, what they did is actually kinda worse. This isn't even AI -- this is a bog standard rule-based text parser.
They got rid of their unionized workers for text based "Choose Your Own Adventure" therapy. That doesn't even work.
@the_nerd_skull
Wait... what?
A good chunk of the LSAT is just basically a bunch of logic puzzles though? And shouldn't a debatebro be good at analysing and critically evaluating arguments?
Fucking hell, I gotta look this up.

If I were the more conspiratorial type, I would suspect that Junkyard Dogs work on evictions too, so they didn't ask any questions.
@davenewworld_2
It looks like the contractor involved was the "Management & Training Company" or MTC. Oh hey, they have a Wikipedia page, I wonder what it sJESUS CHRIST WHY IS THE REPORTED INCIDENTS OF ABUSE SECTION LONGER THAN THE REST OF THE ARTICLE
@mutantxfactor
As far as I know, there are no minimums for voluntary -- it's whatever's agreed upon between you & the airline. You no longer have those legal protections for compensation since you're not "forced" to accept.
If you give up your seat for 63¢ and a bag of peanuts, that's on you.
@AnimeSerbia
The AI Jerry is now saying the line "Everyone in the club laughs and claps their hands" between all his 'jokes' this time around, like someone reading the stage directions.
JFC, this thing is weirdly enthralling.

Given the number of red flags (plus the guy joined Twitter literally the day after Musk closed his deal on it), I don't think this is just a "slip."
@ErinInTheMorn
You mean “that one bearded guy who tried and failed to circumvent the constitution to hurt trans kids, and also once sold a weird plush baby version of himself as merch."
istg that thing is cursed
@GOPisweird
I know I've left baseball games a bit early before in order to beat the crush of people trying to leave the parking garage at the same time.
@vexwerewolf
I like how just today he's already backtracked from "free speech absolutism" memeing to saying "Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape" and begging advertisers not to leave.
@thecoopertom
While I don't doubt that disabled people or those who have limited hand dexterity definitely greatly benefit from ready foods like this, I kinda doubt that the massive food corporations behind it are deliberately targeting them as a demographic.

@ashleylynch
They're supposed to be, and the information provided is generic.
But it still has a bunch of identifying info and... well, remember that time when some dude on one of the chanboards managed to track down Shia Lebouff's flag just from the stars and airplanes in the background?
@JoshuaPHilll
Found the study. The massive quotes "face-shaped" stimuli is depicted in attached images a and b, and was compared to the non-face stimuli c and d.
TOTALLY looks like a face, right?

@dracodare
I think a lot of folks underestimate how long and how expensive even frivolous lawsuits can become.
That's why SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, a.k.a. "shut up or I'll use my very deep pockets to sue you until you're bankrupt") are such a huge deal.
@geogvma
It does feel like basic social justice concepts such as "intersectionality" and "caring about more than one thing at the same time" is... lacking, for these people.
@Vanessid
This has been going on for a while, unfortunately. It's likely a scam group pretending to be that crypto company purely because EIon Mvsk peddled it, in an attempt to get into people's wallets (note the "giveaway" pinned -- fake giveaways are a common attack vector)
@DrMajalis
@GreatCheshire
A couple years ago, some YouTube lawyer ran a GoFundMe. And roughly 9,000 stans donated a total of about $300k.
(Which, funnily enough, is roughly how much he owes the defendants in legal fees too)

I have to agree that there is misrepresenting going on.
It's winter. Starbucks is doing peppermint now, not pumpkin spice.

According to the Wayback Machine, the Help page still had NPR as an example about two and a half hours ago as of writing (2:34 GMT), and was removed within about an hour of it.
@vexwerewolf
Maybe this is just me being paranoid, but when I hear "poly pride shouldn't be allowed at pride because cishets," I feel like they're just a stone's throw from "bi/pan folks, especially those currently in hetero relationships, shouldn't be allowed at pride because cishets."
@woot_master
I do find it funny that Ke$ha didn't actually do the singing vocals.
I mean, it's completely understandable -- I'm guessing she's good-to-go for standard voice-acting, but if she starts singing stuff, her music industry links start to get angy and yelling about contracts
@anarchoboognish
Fun fact: Federal minimum wage for 14 y.o.s is $4.25 for the first 90 calendar days (including non-worked days).
Now, to be clear, it's illegal to displace an adult worker with a kid, or to just hire a kid for 89 days and then give them the boot, but still. That's 3 months!
@shannonrwatts
For folks wondering why they let him go, in Missouri, the cops CANNOT hold you without charges for longer than 24 hours. My guess is that they need more time to gather evidence.
@MossAnimation
I wouldn't worry -- It looks like it'll be on TCLtv+, which is basically a no-name free streaming service originally specific to a brand of TVs. I don't think anyone's gonna watch it anyways.
@thinkiamsad
My guess is that ChatGPT "remembers" the first couple answers and just parrots it out for all the others, context be damned. Might be
why other folks, who are starting fresh, are having better luck.
@DiogenicDescent
@DeepDishEnjoyer
Apparently he mentioned his division in his original post, there were only three interns in said division, and he had other biographical info (college, etc) in other posts, so...
@AvaTomboy
I'm kinda wondering how much overlap there is between the "why are we praising a military guy" crowd and the "I'm actively yelling at someone who lost a relative to suicide because they think it's bad to promote self-immolation like this blesséd martyr to the cause" crowd
@Itmechr3
I think people often forget that the folks we have to convince aren't usually the people who have the incentive to research deeply into issues, but rather folks who just "aren't that into politics."
And the best way to get people to open their minds is to get them to laugh.
@DarkEden21
Agreed: "Debates" overemphasize charisma, platform cranks, and allow them to grift more.
I'm reminded of when Bill Nye (the Science Guy) tried to debate Christian YE Creationist Ken Ham. All that ended up doing was help Ham raise enough funds to build a Noah's Ark theme park.
@TisStef
Used to work as a floral delivery guy. My job was delivering UNEXPECTED gifts of flowers to peoples' parents, relatives, friends, significant others, etc. to brighten their day.
Always ""nice"" to hear folks like Chris would have no qualms about shooting me.
@TiberiasMax
@mehdirhasan
Oh, if only this discussion was about a mere biological difference in melanin, instead of Peterson being deliberately obtuse to centuries of history, sociology, and anthropology wrt skin color.
(Also, Mehdi's parents immigrated from South India, nowhere near the Caucasus.)
@AlsikkanTV
Another Instagram post said she was driven to tears at one point. I honestly feel terrible for her.
Hope at least she was paid well. (Or, given how the management has been, paid at all)

This sounds like the conspiracy equivalent of "Mario would TOTALLY beat Link! Here, I just put them both on Max AI on Final Destination in Super Smash Bros. and Mario won!"
@OneRadChee
I loved the people going "Hah! That character is actually King Arthur, so checkmate!" as if that didn't throw a whole 'nother wrench into the mix.
@RaeGun2k
I'm just wondering about the kind of person who'd willingly fork over any amount of money with four or more digits before the decimal point without carefully reading all the fine print first.
Also can I talk to them I have a bridge I would like to sell
@EliErlick
On the bright side, it looks like that libelous @.femalemagic person (numerical Twitter ID=1509410416358793218 according to Google caches of their page) deleted their own account.
Good riddance.
@VermilViathan
Probably aside the point now, but what even is that excuse? Even when I was 14, if my friends stole my phone and made a nasty tweet, I would've deleted it right away.

@JUNlPER
For what it's worth, Jess (the person pictured) seems to be holding up pretty well years later, despite the abrupt memehood. They even took all the misgendering with pretty good humor (especially given they're NB/genderqueer)
@ppPepoComfy
True, but I should point out that despite the upward trend of explicit "conservatives" among 12th Graders, it still represents a difference of only a few percentage points. A significant proportion consider themselves "moderate" or "IDEK"
(Pie chart's something I threw together)
@ArkadyKoshka
@coolmongreldog
It does look like they've backed down on it.
I kinda hope they talked to a lawyer about all this too -- between this and Megaplex, I don't envy con staff in Florida.
@GreenHura
@PoorlyAgedStuff
When it was revealed that Jack Teixeira appeared to initially leak classified docs to a Minecraft Discord server, War Thunder tweeted this because their players are notorious for leaking classified info.
In actuality, Teixeira was also a War Thunder player. And leaked there too.
@agrandlakeofmud
@JUNlPER
Hold on, is the only reason they published this article because the story featured on the latest episode of a true crime TV show???
@SussexHenryVIII
That said, I also imagine it's a lot easier to demonstrate against someone with a reputation and number of controversies under their belt like Charles than someone who boils down to "old lady best known for having corgis and a funny anecdote with Saudi then-Prince Abdullah"
@AmyMagdaleneta
@KatyMontgomerie
The wedding cake one was ruled narrowly. SCOTUS found that the CO commission wasn't "religiously neutral," so they ignored the big questions.
That said, the cake shop DID get sued again by trans lawyer Autumn Scardina, who wanted a birthday cake. She won.
@coralbeef_
So, as a Korean, I'm guessing this means y'all won't have our backs if Taiwan (1 yr compulsory service) or South Korea (2 yrs compulsory service) get attacked then. Nice to know.
@JosephPolitano
Oh I'm sure Elon's friends are entirely real. I heard they all go to that hipster coffee shop that Jacob Wohl kept going on about in 2018.
@DreamLeaf5
I'm usually very against victim blaming but the dude walked up brandishing a gun.
The guy who got shot just got married two weeks prior. Sorry if this sounds callous, but if this was how he acted when he's angry, I kinda wonder if the wife dodged a bullet (in more ways than one)
@XiranJayZhao
I'm less concerned about the name, and more concerned about the number of people who are going "OMG 'Omicron' is an anagram of 'Moronic'! That means it's fake!!"
I've heard dumb conspiracy theories before but holy shit
