Hijacking a plane wouldn’t be enough. Plane highjackings were nothing new. They were even common back in the 60’s. Conventional wisdom was you cooperate with the highjackers. They have to land eventually.
Nobody anticipated suicide highjackers.

2001 you could use a pay phone to stay anonymous.

If it’s important enough that it can’t wait until tomorrow, it’s important enough to pay someone for.
- Comment on Your opinion on HSE 4 months ago:
To the extent that talking about something can help, it can be helpful. It brings it to the top of mind so maybe individuals err on the side of safety when they otherwise wouldn’t. Or it reminds workers of policies already in place.
To the extent it conflicts with the bottom line, it’s a waste of time. Unless the company is willing to legit sacrifice profits for the benefits of HSE, it’s just a nothing bullshit paper you have to sign.

I thank my lucky stars to be in San Antonio where we have municipal power.
People complain about CPS (city public service) but we get a say in how the company is run and our bills are quite reasonable compared to the state average.

Bullshit.
- Comment on How do Texas residents afford electricity? 5 months ago:
Most of us don’t pay the market price hour to hour. Our electricity provider absorbs the risk of price spikes and raises our rates if the math stops working for them.
Griddy was a provider that sells at the market rate, which is usually below the general price you would pay, but you take the risk of price spikes during peak demand.

The algo assumes you must not be activated yet, and the most profitable way to do that is to make you a raging right winger.

Anon has not considered the consequences of an entire nation of hungry vampires devoid of humans.
- Comment on I genuinely feel like I wouldn't live that differently even if I suddenly became ultra-wealthy. Am I kidding myself? 5 months ago:
That’s completely reasonable.

That’s tragic when it happens. I know that it will happen. Free lunches attract flies.
That doesn’t mean you can’t help people. It means you cut them off when it’s clear they are being hurt and not helped.

Then you have a hard conversation.

Don’t have to worry about your friend’s motives if you honestly want to help them.
Travel a little bit. Spend most of your time at home, either enjoying the simple pleasures, or with friends and family.
So what if they are taking advantage of you? You are rich! What’s the downside?
Sure, you have to be vigilant against con artists, grifters, and addicts. You have to draw a line somewhere. Maybe don’t fund their casino trips, drug trips, or Candy Crush high score.
Extravagant birthday gifts? College tuition for your niblings? Why not?
If someone is lying to you, you will find out eventually. I’d rather have friends now and let future me deal with the fallout from the grifters.

I’m glad it’s better.

If you do I’m sorry.

You give us too much credit.

Gonna have to do a whole lot of union drives to make that feasible. Good luck.

Anhedonia is horrifying if you think about it.
- Comment on I’m 43 but everyone at the workplace thinks I’m 25. Is this something I need to change? 6 months ago:
I was told I looked young for my age. Then I transitioned and lost another 5 to 7 years.
It’s certainly possible that nosey co-workers have sussed out the truth, but also some people just don’t look their age.

If OP was complaining I would be sympathetic.
As written, the story is just positive.

Every one of these actors deserves awards. I would shake any of their hands and thank them.
I hate the characters, (except Skylar, she’s just a flawed person dealing with fucked up shit.)
I deeply appreciate the skill the actors used to bring up such strong emotions within me.
