Politely asked a gate agent about upgrades for a lengthy flight. While she looked, a woman tried to cut the line from the side to "just ask one question".

Upgrade wasn't available but the agent took her time to see what else she could do for us. Better seats for free.
I don't know that she *wouldn't* have done all that without the interruption but dang if basic bare minimum politeness (I was too tired to do my own customer service voice and manners) doesn't unlock a lot more than line jumping.
The "hey buddy, I just have one thing, take care of it, wouldja"s of the world think they are saving time and getting good deals but they rarely get anything more than what they ask for, even if they have the nerve to ask for a lot.

I just saw a guy refer to Senator Warren's discrimination story as "a useful injustice" and
To elaborate, he was suggesting she could have gotten as much out of coming forward in 2007 as now.

Which, I mean, he's not wrong. He's not right, but he's not wrong. No advantage then, no advantage now.
The "advantage" of talking about it is that she has it out in the open and off her chance. The "gain" is that we are talking about pregnancy discrimination and a whole lot of people are apparently just learning it exists. The needle moves, slowly.

Doesn't help her campaign.

As the Republican handwringing over the Turkish offensive sanctioned by Trump continues -- if it continues -- expect the subtext to rapidly become text: "We wish we could hold him accountable, but Democrats have made that impossible with their relentless attacks."
Democrats are offering a path forward for removing Trump, one that can immediately become credible with GOP Senate support, but the GOP Senators are heading down the full-blown path of the guy who didn't *want* to be a Nazi but look what you made him do.
If this continues long enough and goes badly enough, I expect a GOP Senator to say, after the fact, "Maybe we could have impeached and removed him if the Democrats hadn't spent so much time trying to impeach and remove him."

#YoonJin Labyrinth AU

Seokjin is the Goblin King. Handsome, clever, and charismatic with a cruel streak. The goblins adore him, but the rest of the kingdom is split. He is controlling and doesn’t like when people go against his wishes or plans.
Those that do tend to find themselves in precarious situations.

After taking away Yoongi’s baby brother, he becomes smitten with Yoongi. Seokjin attempts to seduce and entice him the entire time Yoongi makes his way through the Labyrinth.
Yoongi is a college student, living with his dad, step-mother and half brother. He’s having a hard time finding his place with his dad’s new family, maybe being purposefully distant even.

One fine day, a journalist from an online media house manage to get an interview with Rahul.

Wearing his trademark white kurta (torn) and a green winter jacket (Chinese) over it, he sat comfortably in a chair, a smile (sinister) on his lips and a dog (Kazakhstani) by his side.
The journalist, like a 4 year old who was told she can have all the ice cream she wants, was gushing over Rahul.

He looked at her, amused, and nodded his head.

While the cloying sweetness was amusing Rahul, an impartial observer would have found it cheesy, like Cadbury ads.
"You're a hit on SM, Rahul-ji," opened the journalist.

An impartial observer has considered Rahul's intelligence questionable, like Unilever's intentions. Rahul, however, knew that this was not a question and no answer was needed.

He looked at her, amused, and nodded his head.

Dear General Flynn.

After countless hours of research I have finally found the "Origins" of Russia gate and the Governments attempted coup. I will try to be brief here , although that may not be easy.

Lets go back to December 28 and 29th 2016. Shall we
