also creepy and long. If you must watch, you can easily skip forward every few seconds and not miss anything. Walking out of a door takes 45 seconds at one point. And I'm about to start my period, so I'd usually be totally game for sappy movie shorts. No love here

whoa, forreal. Totally unacceptable. They kept her there for 8 hours wearing her down. They deserve incontinence in their old age.

I've flown a LOT. Southwest has been by far the worst - they try the least hard to hide their perception of passengers as cattle.

Delta is probably about the best; taking a Delta connection after a Southwest one is like upgrading from the baggage hold to first class.

CharlesNelsonReilly, most service industries carry a high expectation of positive customer interactions. Airlines have been doing this less and less well as they stretch their employees further and charge their customers for more little things to increase their profit margins. Everyone complains about poor customer service because it's true. Flying can be a harrowing experience even with good customer service, but when bad customer service is added on top, it's particularly unpleasant.

Oh. Yeah, facilitated communication is always bunk. It never seems to be able to work if the "facilitator" can't see the keyboard, for some reason....

Thee/ye: Thee is informal, ye is formal. Kind of like tu/vous in French. zeytoun's correct about ye being plural as well (also like vous in French...)

On the higher notes, you can see that the vocal folds don't close properly, which is the reason for her breathy voice on those notes.

And now you know.

Yeah, I had to go to the Forrest Gump video, click on the profile name, then watch the kill bill video from their profile on youtube.

They weren't judged on whether or not they said anything in the room. They were judged on the amount of "distress" they reported afterward that they'd felt.

Which isn't a great way to measure racism. While MY racism may distress me, YOUR racism is not particularly distressing.

However, I don't fault the researchers for studying this area. I do agree actually that most of us are more racist than we'd like to admit (black, white, and others alike) and the degree to which our perceptions differ from our reality is an interesting question.

Hmph. Science says nothing of the sort about human females. Actually, males talk slightly more, though the amounts are practically the same.

This is one of those myths, like the "thousands" of words Eskimos have for snow, which get propagated even though there's nothing backing it up, and never was.
