. But I doubt anyone would care if you stood up to stretch your legs 30 mins before landing

You’d think, but apparently people are picky enough about what others do to care that they stand up shortly after landing, so who knows

Yeah and while I’m sure it is useful for minimizing outrage at controversial changes, it’s mainly to prevent rolling out major bugs to too many people

boarding first isn’t a privilege really

It is on southwest, since there’s no unassigned boarding. I’m a tall dude, and I always pay for early boarding so I can get myself an emergency row seat

Yeah, remember the reaction when that one post got popular about lemmy being boring for anyone that wasn’t a SWE/Linux user?

People got so pissed off, one of the top posts on lemmy that day was something to the affect of “fuck you, we’re not obligated to post things you like”. Which, yeah, you’re not - but you also can’t blame people for losing interest in your platform when you only have active discussion on one or two relatively niche topics.

The fact is that Lemmy is garbage for discussing hobbys or interests outside of a few niche areas. On reddit my feed was filled with woodworking, 3d printing, Astronomy, and other topics that get very little traffic on lemmy.

My lemmy feed is mostly politics, then SWE stuff, then memes

Just did a 5k for cancer research this weekend and we got a medal for it 🤷🏼‍♂️ hell, my wife and dog (yes, my dog got her own medal, it was adorable) got one for one walking it 😅

Ultimately it’s just a piece of cheap metal, not like it’s impractical to give them out willy nilly

Yeah, popular music - by definition - is going to have a broad appeal, and pointing out major problems with our society is always going to be at least a bit divisive, especially when the issue is split in party lines

Yup, they do the same for half marathons, 10ks and 5ks

Sometimes the first 3 will get special medals, but but everyone else gets the same one

I’m not saying he’s a nobody, but it’s not exactly downvote worthy to not know him lol, I’ll bet there are plenty of people I’d consider well know that you’re not familiar with too 🤷🏼‍♂️

I doubt they even hope the judge will agree, they’re just doing it for the sake of his base. It’s been his prime defense the whole time - the fact that it’s bullshit doesn’t matter, because as far as his base is concerned, if Trump said it, it’s true
