My favorite one is this.
I think there was only one that suggests pressing the lock door button. But apparently that’s not a universal feature because most of the suggestions tell him to press a button on the touch screen console

While I thought the protests against Narita Airport were unsuccessful, that is not entirely true. In fact, only 1 out of 3 planned runways have been fully built. While the airport is still trying to expand, resistance occurs even today.
To a bystander, this may look like a finished airport. It has a runway and terminals.
However, one might notice that that top runway is significantly shorter than the bottom one, and that the taxiways look a little off. This is one of the first signs that this airport was built against armed struggle.
There is much more to see. The second runway was meant to be longer, but was blocked by a shrine and a farmer who refused to leave. Today, he still farms in the middle of the taxiway, which had to be built around the farm. Sanrizuka Farm continues to produce carrots today.
Here's another taxiway deviation.
Most importantly, the third runway was successfully blocked entirely. It would have been between the two runways, acting like a partial trapezoid. The third runway was blocked by a tower erected by residents called the Yokobori Pillars. This tower was destroyed recently, but the base remains, and like the shrine and the farm, appears to be publicly accessible. 
A house also blocks the runway, with the taxiway being built around it.
Even now, the airport is still heavily guarded by police and there have been several guerilla attacks since opening. I have heard rumors through translated comments that if you visit some of these locations you wind up on a watchlist.

He took the old checkmarks away to punish the hated elites (in his view) and then discovered that he’d completely destroyed the value of the checkmark so then he gave the hated elites their checkmarks back but then a lot of them hid the checkmark because it was a mark of being a rube. And lo
[...]
Note, by the way, that the hated elites aren’t able to opt out of premium.

Half an hour into a New York to London flight, passengers in business class noticed a woman with a crying baby being brought through the curtains by a flight attendant. They looked on in mild horror as they saw the attendant direct her into an empty seat next to… James Corden.
Expecting a huge celebrity hissy fit to kick off, Corden's cabin-mates were impressed to see that he didn't say a word or make any sort of complaint. He simply put on a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, pulled an eye-mask over his eyes, and turned away from her to sleep.
Pretty decent of him, right?
When the plane landed though, passengers were surprised to see Corden remain seated as the woman with the baby struggled to open the overhead locker. And even more surprised when she turned to Corden and said "For fuck's sake can you at least hold the baby while I get the bags down?" The woman was his wife. The baby was his baby.
The story is from 2017.

i have no patience for people talking about violent rhetoric on the left really because every day i read the news and every politician in this country and in most others is saying 'we gotta kill more people'. they use different words to say it. obviously you're not supposed to just say 'we gotta kill more people'. but there's all kinds of polite and okay ways to say it.
'we need to control our borders' is a phrase which here means 'we gotta kill more people, we gotta drown more refugees in boats, we gotta send more people back to warzones and governments that want them dead, we gotta make more camps and we gotta make the camps more fatal'.
'we need to be tougher on welfare fraud' is a phrase which here means 'we gotta kill more people, we gotta make disabled people do more song and dance routines to convince some indifferent bureaucrat that they deserve to eat and we gotta make sure that the bureaucrats say 'no', we gotta starve those kids more, we gotta make sure families and kids and old people are freezing in the winter'.
'we need to tackle violent crime' is a phrase which here means 'we gotta kill more people, specifically Black people, unless we said Terrorism instead of Crime, in which case it's specifically muslims, shoot them, imprison them, surveil them, disappear them, brutalize them, whatever.'
and of course none of this is Violent Speech. this is Sensible Political Discourse. these are Common-Sense Policy Goals. we gotta kill more people: that's an electable policy. you can always count on we gotta kill more people as a platform. we gotta kill more people is gonna sweep the nation baby. we gotta kill more people 2024 -- vote now on your phones. now slow down. hold your horses. did that guy just say we gotta kill more people? well that just wont do. thats why im running on a platform of we gotta kill more people for cheaper, to stop this wasteful madness. and the people just keep dying but seems like there's still some of them left so i guess we're just circling back around to our main thing which is: we gotta kill more people

At one point, the F.A.A. observed Spirit mechanics using a hotel key card to check a door seal, which was “not identified/documented/called-out in the production order,” according to a document describing some of the audit findings.
[...]
At another point during the audit, the F.A.A. saw Spirit mechanics apply liquid Dawn soap to a door seal “as lubricant in the fit-up process,” the document describing some of the audit findings said. The agency also saw the door seal get cleaned with a wet cheesecloth to remove the soap and debris, according to the document, which said that instructions were “vague and unclear on what specifications/actions are to be followed or recorded by the mechanic.”
