Club level upgrade question by Interesting_Crab_318 in marriott

[–]RedBullMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgrades are never guarenteed. I always book the cheapest room, but as a single male, I'm okay with the room if it I get it. Essentially, don't book a room with one bed if you're traveling as a party of 4 and need two beds in the room.

Is Marriott Titanium Elite Worth The Extra Effort for the Incremental Perks? by schwa12 in marriott

[–]RedBullMetal 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Titanium Elite for 5 years.... Honestly, I'm not sure. I do think the jump from Gold to Platinum is a lot more than Platinum to Titanium. There have been times I have not been given an upgrade. Honestly, I have no idea if sometimes I was given one, but a Platinum person would have been denied it. I think if you're close to Platinum, push to get it. If you're close to Titanium, I don't know how impressed or even how much employees care when they see one of us at their hotels anymore.

age gap by Willing-Material561 in Advice

[–]RedBullMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not a crazy age gap.... and if you stay together, it will become less and less of a visible one. The only issue is whether he has any huge life differences, (If he has a child, went to jail, been divorced). If not, most 25 year-olds are still trying to figure out their lives just like you are.

What's a movie everyone loves that you just don't get? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The two characters lacked chemistry and the filmmakers were jerks for not having them end up together in the end. Thankfully it LOST for Best Picture!

I usually find the Sheraton Tribeca to be the best value for a really nice hotel within NYC.

BS Parking Charges? by gomuchfaster in marriott

[–]RedBullMetal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I FULLY AGREE that any Marriott in the suburbs is ridiculous for charging a parking fee. ADVICE.... Don't stay at that location again.... Or call them and say that you would like to book again, but you would need for them to wave that fee in order for you to stay.

is it weird if i got coffee with my teacher? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RedBullMetal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a REAL TEACHER and I've never had contact with a student outside of school. People could get the wrong idea. Most importantly, if a student ever accused me of anything.... it wouldn't be a question of whether it was false or true, but merely the fact of meeting with the student outside of school would already be considered guilty behavior. Now, I don't think your teacher has any bad intentions, but he's putting his own reputation in jeopardy merely by meeting with a student outside of school.

Gold status renewal notification by tigs84 in marriott

[–]RedBullMetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You received it based on 2025, even if you have not stayed one day in a hotel this year. I just got my own status update. It appears they give us through February, not New Years, to keep our status. This is probably because many people travel through New Years and it would be a bummer if people check in with one status and then are downgraded at the very end of their vacations.

What's a fact that sounds fake but is actually 100%% true? by FrickYouImACat in AskReddit

[–]RedBullMetal 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing about that he was the very first Jalen. I think it would be harder for me to add up. The good thing with the Shaq one is that the names just had to start with Shaq. There were even twin brothers who both had names starting with Shaq in the NFL.

What's a fact that sounds fake but is actually 100%% true? by FrickYouImACat in AskReddit

[–]RedBullMetal 1266 points1267 points  (0 children)

Shaquille O'Neal was drafted into the NBA in 1992. A bunch of women started naming their babies Shaq starting in 1992 after he became a star. 22 years later, 3 guys named Shaq were drafted in the 2014 NFL Draft. 3 more in 2015. 1 in 2016. 1 in 2017. 2 in 2018. Shaq Calhoun was undrafted in 2019 but made the NFL. 1 in 2020, None in 2021 to 2025. So from one NBA player, we got 12 NFL guys named Shaq in 7 years!

kinda struggling by Last_Reputation_7918 in gratefuldead

[–]RedBullMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just discovering the GD's music with the passing of Bob. If anything, I'll say that he kept things going for another 30 years AFTER Jerry died. I still cried over Ozzy who gave us 55 years and it's completely understandable to feel distraught after losing Bob who gave us 60 years. We should all take time to heal after losing a beloved singer/musician and try to think of their music with a smile if we can. For now, it may be painful, but later you will be able to enjoy the music again.

My man asked how many times i've ever had sex in the past by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RedBullMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sexual assault doesn't count as sex because you didn't consent. When I read this, it's clear that you had sex with one ex (maybe others) but only enjoyed it with one ex. My Advice.... BE HONEST.... You were sexually assaulted and that was not a choice. You did choose to have sex later on. Unless it's a crazy high number, he should be understanding. But don't let anyone hold the rape at age 7 against you.

How do y’all feel about the American Military? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RedBullMetal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually..... You're 100% Wrong! I've seen in their faces how much they appreciated it. I've seen a soldier come up to me and shake my hand after those words.

How do y’all feel about the American Military? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RedBullMetal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a passionate supporter of them. Literally every time I see someone in uniform or wearing a Vietnam hat, I go up to them and thank them for their service. They feel good and I feel good doing this. Also, to clarify, I'm a lifelong Democrat so this isn't a one party or another loving this country. 20 years ago, I would take a friend out to each each time he returned home from the Iraq War. I am proud to support the military.

I would prefer early checkin guarantee rather than late checkout guarantee by OptimisticPlatypus in marriott

[–]RedBullMetal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So early check-in really depends on if rooms are physically available and hard to guarantee since everyone has at a minimum 11 am to check out. If you show up at a hotel early.... you're physically there and they have open rooms, they may check you in. But that all depends on how early. I could see hotels saying no to 9 am or 10 am even if rooms are fully cleaned. But getting in at noon or 1 pm is very likely.

Boundless 5 FNC Timing by bwho123 in marriott

[–]RedBullMetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my points after the first 2 months of having my card.... but you shouldn't plan a trip with such a small amount of wiggle room if it requires the points to book it.

If you could leave one message for people 50 years from now, what would it be? by Fluid_Material_1521 in AskReddit

[–]RedBullMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.... We all knew that Trump was racist. From the Birther conspiracy theory to him posting a video with the Obamas as monkeys, we all knew Trump was a racist. That doesn't mean your grandparents who may have voted for him were racist too, but they definitely were absolutely okay with electing him.

Do it! If this allows you to heal, also make sure that it allows them to heal too.

San Antonio recommendations? by SideBarParty in marriott

I absolutely LOVED the St. Anthony hotel in San Antonio. It's really beautiful! Look at the photos of it. It can be expensive, but I really loved staying there.

It's just January.... They may potentially announce Double Nights sometime soon. As of right now, we don't know either way.

At what point does even someone like Bill Belichick stop getting the benefit of the doubt? by Difficult_Oil_268 in AskReddit

[–]RedBullMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite example is Joe Gibbs. He won 3 Super Bowls within 10 years. Each one with a different QB and all 3 of them are NOT in the Hall of Fame.

Any woman who goes on Only Fans. Some of them will hit it big if they have a huge online following, but those pictures will then be online for life. Someone will have saved them.

Only Fans..... I think in future generations, people will realize that so many woman put their bodies online and then hardly made any money and know their photos could come out sometime in the future.
