I am actually feeling a bit nauseated from the building bouncing.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, painkillers. I hope they break through. This is bananas. Also, boring.
Why don't they Iron Man 2 posters have RDJ's face on them? Don't they understand he was the magic that made Iron Man work? How many people cared about Tony Stark or the metal guy? Not as many as enjoyed the flick.
Plus, hot, and I want to see Don Cheadle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear. That's no good.
The ticket thing is like the airlines saying they won't charge for luggage -- I bet their prices just go up the $25 or whatever. Which is fine! Just give me service, and tell me what it costs!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm pretty sure the whole point about airlines charging for luggage isn't for them to save money on fuel or anything, it's for them to obfuscate how much it costs to fly, to make it harder for people to compare prices with other airlines.

Yeah, you're probably right. I hate that! Stupid profit-oriented capitalism.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I wonder if people would respond better if offered a discount for not bringing bags. I'm sure the airlines must have considered this approach, though.

Stephanie, God bless you for doing what you do.
It is making me very cranky, the idea that someone is having trouble bringing her own kids to live with her and her wife here in the States just because someone else feels the need to "protect" their marriage from the presence of hers. AND that people have the gall to argue "think of the children." We ARE thinking of the children, damnit.

Isn't travelling without any bags now considered suspicious behavior?

How many people have the option to fly without bags, though? That's why I don't get Spirit.

Another part of it is that the airlines are taxed on fares, but not on fees. So the more "add ons", the less taxes the airlines have to pay.
