It all has to do with how the brain responds to and produces dopamine.

For example sleep deprivation alters dopamine receptors and signalling, which is thought to be one reason people feel temporarily “wired” or oddly alert after being very sleep-deprived.

I imagine it’s related to that.

Damn I haven’t laughed this hard at a post in a long time.

I don’t fly often… like maybe once every few years. And when I do my boss usually books the flight since It’s work related and it’s usually American or Southwest.

Is Frontier that bad?

Great… I’ve been alive for over 1.7 billion seconds. Glad you found a way to make me feel even older 🤷‍♂️😀

So he’s turn the government into a patreon subscription?

I gotta go check something… be right back.

No I meant just as a sympathetic passenger.

You’re likely totally right about the deaf person.

In the footage, a gate agent appears to advocate for the passenger while the flight crew insists she must leave aircraft.

Pretty sure I’d get up and walk off the plane. Not sure I wanna be on that flight with that flight crew.

Not sure what these douche bags were thinking. Great advertisement to NOT fly Frontier though.

Then why did you post? There are lots of things that get posted here that I’m not particularly interested in and I don’t post rude comments on every one of them.

Or you are too cheap and stupid to pay a lawyer….

He’s not wrong. He’s just an idiot.

The only way republicans keep the majority is if there some sort of terrorist attack and the dipshit in chief declares martial law and cancels midterms…. Hmm.

Playbook? The fucker is basically doing everything Putin is asking him to do.

Secure by design… what a joke.

Too late. No backsies.

Thanks. I hate it.

I’m that many years old too… 1970 represent!

I liked it better when it was just random people coming together to talk about whatever random shit you were into. It felt so much more inclusive. Like no matter how weird your hobby was, somebody out there was into it as well… or sharing very funny stories like the creation of overly engineered toasters. Or putting a camera on a coffee pot to check if there was fresh coffee. Or the stories of the BOFH.

Now it’s too controlled, monetized, enshittified, homogenized, etc. It’s not about people connecting anymore or creating content that people actually want and learn from. With all the AI generated bullshit, it’s likely not even created by people anymore. At least with goatse, tub girl, or lemon party you knew that was actual people… not sure if that’s better or worse actually. But somebody created it for others to “enjoy”… well experience might be a better word here. But you get the idea. It was people coming together because they wanted to. They enjoyed it. Now it’s all scams, rage-bait, and algorithms created to drive engagement. It’s almost like it isn’t fun anymore.

But there are places that still remind me of the old internet. Lemmy for example. It’s not exactly the same but it shares its DNA.

Makes me think I like boobs.

This is the part that infuriates me. The cops that fucked up will face no repercussions. It’s the tax payers that will foot the bill for this obviously incoming lawsuit and settlement. The solution is clear. Make cops get the equivalent of doctor’s malpractice insurance. Then make the insurance companies pay the settlement. And when the cops insurance payments go up, the cop has to pay. Or stop being a cop because they suck at it. Problem solved.
