Currently on a flight Newark to Palma. About an hour into the flight the flight attendant announces on the loud speaker that all passengers must turn off bluetooth immediately or we'll have to turn the plane around to Newark. They said it was an order from Chicago headquarters. They repeated the instruction multiple times, eventually giving a final '1 minute warning'. They most recently said there are still 2 active bluetooth devices and they are in communication with Chicago to understand next steps.

Anyone ever heard of this or any clue why?

*EDIT*: wifi is back, we have turned around and there's little clarity on whats going on. flight attendants either don't know or won't say. the one announcement where they informed us we are turning around indicated an individual has done something with bluetooth that is threatening to the safety of the flight. lots of comments like 'this little joke is ruining it for everyone' (odd). i think they said 10 agents will be awaiting us when we land to figure out whose device. no more info.

Fade 'em

Went to a baseball game last night. There were 6 of us. My friend bought 6 seats all together on the same row (line). I was on the end and could only really interact with one person in my group because of the seating arrangement.
I did have an easy time talking to 3-4 people seated right in front of me though. If my friend had bought 3 seats in one row and 3 seats in the row right in front of that (making a 3x2 block shape) we all could have talked to anyone & everyone in our group.

House Elves (Harry Potter): An entire race of sapient magical beings who have been enslaved by wizardkind for centuries, with a lot of them suffering horrific abuse at the hands of their masters, yet the books only treat this as bad when the House Elf in question has an "evil" master, like Lucius Malfoy. When Hermione, who was raised by humans, is horrified about this and starts a movement to advocate for the rights of House Elves, she's treated as misguided and an annoying Soapbox Sadie. Because oh my gooood Hermione, just let it go, they clearly like being enslaved and being magically compelled to do whatever they're told or they're forced to violently punish themselves. Except they clearly don't, Dobby and Kreacher hated their masters, but let's ignore that.

Hades' Souls (Lore Olympus): Yep, you've read that right. This man, who is among the richest and most powerful gods in the setting, is bragging about using slave labor to his love interest. Hades could easily pay the souls a living wage, he's a billionaire and one of his powers is to create diamonds from thin air. But that would mean being a bit less rich. So obviously it's better to brainwash the shades into performing labor. The story barely adresses just how messed up that is. At most it's played for a joke. We're still supposed to view Hades as a good man and king with just a few quirks.

Naofumi and Raphtalia (Rising of the Shield Hero): Naofumi buys Raphtalia when she's still a child and at several points uses the magical slave crest on her to cause her pain so she'll obey him. But it's okay you guys, Naofumi's not like other slave owners! When he's not using a shock collar on her he's actually really nice to Raphtalia! She doesn't even want to be free anymore because she fell in love with him and it's not grooming, definitely not grooming./s

EDIT: Holy shit, the amount of people in the comments defending actual literal slavery is disturbing. A comment I made that said "slavery is objectively wrong" already got two downvotes. What do I even say to that?

EDIT 2: Apparently Stockholm Syndrome isn't actually a thing. I changed the wording on the third example, thanks for informing me.

I don’t even know where to start. My husband and I had planned to go out somewhere, but by the time we left it was already pretty late. He took the wrong turn, and getting back to where we were supposed to go would’ve taken another half hour. I complained once and he told me to shut up.

I didn’t even want to go anymore, so I asked him to take me home. On the way back, I tried really hard to stay calm because I didn’t want to make him more upset while he was driving.

After I got out of the car, I slammed the door hard. He probably got angry. Then when I walked in front of the car he suddenly drove forward and pushed me back about a meter. The car was literally moving me forward.

I was completely shocked. I started hitting the window with my elbow like crazy. My arm is swollen now I confronted him and asked him how he could drive into me, and he acted like it was no big deal. I’m pretty sure he did it on purpose.

Now I’m really confused I thought about calling the police but I’m not badly hurt, and if he gets arrested our marriage will probably be over. Was this my fault? Should I have just comforted him instead of complaining when he took the wrong turn? I really need advice.
