If someone did this on my flight I'd demand to be let off. Any religious fundamentalist making a public spectacle to a captive audience should set alarm bells ringing. There's nothing that woman wouldn't do if she's willing to do that and feel she's perfectly justified.

Can you imagine if a person of Islamic faith stood up before a flight and started preaching from the Quran? You'd have SWAT on that plane before they finished "Praise be to Allah!"

Occasionally there will be a post something like, "If there were one stat above everyone's head what would you want it be?"

I'd want it to be a measure of the accuracy of a person's self-perception compared to the consensus of everyone else. A 1 would indicate a perfect alignment between your self-perception and others. A 0 would be a complete misalignment.

Somewhere I'm guessing around the 0.2 mark we start disqualifying people from certain jobs, like leading national policy.

I think an ability to accurately self assess maps to higher empathy and intelligence.

This fucker bottoms out the scale.

There's a coffee trailer near me named two girls one cup. Huge graphic with the name on the outside. It is barista'd by two women in bikinis. Couldn't bring myself to try a hot cup of steaming anything they serve.
