I think people are getting outraged at the wrong thing, even if we only take into account the airline thing. People seem to get angry at UA for "overbooking" but I heard that overbooking wasn't the actual issue, the issue was that they needed to make space for their employees. Furthermore, UA didn't order the security guard to beat up a customer. Security guards work for the airport, not a specific airline. Also, again if we only take into account overbooking, UA isn't the only airline that does it. In fact, most (if not all) airlines do. So if anything, we should get angry at the shady practices of the industry itself rather than a specific company.

My dad made an email account for me when I was little (though I might've been older than 1 year, I think I was like 5 or 6) so that nobody could take that username/address. I actually still use it but not very often.

So idk what this common core thing is about, but in my country we were taught that you should substract the digits from each other, so starting from the back we had 7-6 which is 1, 2-1 which is 1, and 4-3 which is 1. If the number above was lower than the number below, for example 123-56, then you'd have to mentally up the number above by 10, so instead of 3-6 you'd mentally do 13-6 and then add the remaning 1 to the next below digit. So 123-56 would be 13-6 which is 7, you put the one to the next below digit so it becomes 12-6 (originally it would be 12-5 but we added the 1) which is 6, again you remember the 1 and then it's 1-1 which is 0. So 123-56 = 67 and I hope that's correct otherwise I'm gonna look like a nutjob.

This is so ironic considering how much he hated on Obama for golfing

Some people seem to confuse political correctness and factual correctness. If someone wants something taken down because it's not PC, then they're a whiny crybaby and they should grow up. If someone posts something that is just factually WRONG because they're either misguided or spread lies on purpose, then they should face consequences. Those consequences usually come in the form of another user calling the poster out on it, however sometimes the post gets so many likes because people don't read the comments and don't realize it's wrong. Personally, I support free speech, but I also support critical thinking and checking whether something that's been said is true or not. Unfortunately, not many people have the time or even care enough to really check, in which case some countermeasures should be implemented. I think the report system works fine in that respect, and I don't really see why we should add on to that. I'd like to ask OP if he/she has any specific recent posts in mind?

I don't want to sound like a douchebag here, but the ones who pressured him into seeing rape as a funny thing were all boys. If he was able to open up to a woman (or even a female classmate at the time), she would probably be a lot more empathic and would legitimately try to help him.
What I'm trying to say is, most men find rape hilarious because it mostly doesn't happen to them, they can't relate to how horrible it is. Most of them have no idea that even walking down the street alone at night might be scary, because every man you see could probably overpower you. Which is why the few male rape victims like this guy suffer emotionally more than most female rape victims, because instead of empathy, they get laughed at by their peers.

Let's use it until it becomes a thing

Legit question for American fsers: are high school cheerleaders and jocks really such a big deal like it's shown in so many movies/series? I mean, them being massively popular and sometimes bullying the "nerds" – is it a thing or are the movies just extremely exaggerated?
