Basically nation states are like teenagers and we’ve decided to stop hanging out with one of the popular girls because we’ve decided Becky down the street is nicer, so what if she doesn’t have as much money. Meanwhile, Susan is prone to jealousy and lashing out and is probably going to make our lives really upsetting by spreading rumors about how we’ve got a pencil dick and we’ve been sleeping with that one kid who everyone bullies that smells funny
The mother, 17, allegedly “changed her story several times” but ultimately “confessed” she had been tired and wanted to take a nap, filled the baby’s bottle, and put some of “what she thought was cocaine” in the bottle, the sheriff said.
Why the hell would you give cocaine to a baby to make it sleep. WTF
Teen mom forced to give birth and then becomes exhausted and mentally unstable from postpartum depression and does something unthinkable but they are unstable and lack maturity.
Ambassador Cruise Lines confirmed on Thursday that the arrival of their ship Ambition in Torshavn in the Faroe Islands – located between Scotland, Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic – “coincided with the culmination of a hunt of 40+ pilot whales in the port area,” according to the cruise line.

Who cares? What a bank does isn’t going to deter me from supporting or opposing what I choose. Every major product or service that you use employs the same level choice across the board, whether you like it or not.
That’s true, but that’s not going to stop someone who believes in this to stop going to Starbucks when they try to stop their workers from unionizing, or stop shopping at Amazon even though they underpay and over work their employees. Like if your going to draw a line, either cross it or stay behind it but don’t act like you have a hill to die on because some bank chooses to do something really shitty. Let’s get real here.
The point isn't to either support or oppose LGBTIQ interests - the point is to fund two sides who will then fight, and distract attention from their ongoing economic rape of all of us.
How is that any of the airlines business?? Kid bought a ticket. He has no obligation to use the full ride. I hope he/his family sues and I hope they win.
Actually, if you read the T&Cs on the contract, you really are expected to use the full ride, and the airline is allowed to impose a penalty like this. But it’s at the airline’s discretion, and I think not even the bean counters expect gate agents to enforce it in the most draconian fashion against unaccompanied minors.
This is why they are going to the press with this, because they can’t win the lawsuit. And the Press is the best place to expose behavior that’s legal, but shitty.
I’d bet they reacted like they did specifically because the person is a minor - a minor who is in the care of the airline and who they’re responsible for until they reach the intended destination. If the final flight arrived without the minor on it without it being intended, they would most certainly have some level of liability for the minor’s whereabouts.
Airline T&C are not just any old contract, but they are called the “Contract of Carriage” for the airline and have protections at the Federal level. Anything’s legal standing can be challenged, of course, but airlines do have special protections in this case.
There’s no way the family could possibly sue over this and win.
I agree it’s total bullshit, but there actually is a contract of carriage involved that skiplagging violates, so airlines are within their rights to cancel an itinerary if they catch such a violation. With that said, fuck BS airline policies and fares.
Yes, this is what I thought! Is it because the airlines have lower prices on trips that have a layover? Surely, it would be cheaper still to buy just an individual ticket to a place?
The stat people that punch in numbers find it to be more profitable to offer layover trips cheaper than direct trips.
It costs more to have a plane from Pittsburgh and a second plane from New York fly to London, both less than 100% full of passengers. It costs less to have one plane fly from Pittsburgh to New York, where it will become 100% full on its journey to London.
Therefore, your layover ticket is “wasted” on you when you consider the alternative: you buying a direct ticket while also letting another stranger purchase (and fully use) that layover ticket.
