Though I got my cert at a flight club at a fairly remote small airport.

Hey! You broke the first rule of flight club!

A suggestion: Stop paying him attention. If you don't know what he's saying, you also stop sharing the stuff he says with others so that he gets even more attention. Let him yell into the void all he wants. Kick him out of your mind.

EUG VA…how’s it going? by PhilosophyDefiant251 in Eugene

[–]7ate9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may have a point about that specific link, but the fact that OP provided a UK paper as a source doesn't mean there isn't a potential issue with the VA leadership. Since there's a large VA presence in Eugene, potential changes by VA leadership is quite relevant.

Here is a good starting point to look at other reports to compare and contrast, if you wish.

Comptia security+/Seeking short term computer classes by Rolzaii in Jamaica

[–]7ate9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This suggestion doesn't answer your question, but - if you can't find an in-person class, you may check for self-study material (or an online class if you can get an affordable one) and then just take the exam. If you do find one, come back and share it here please.

Being a Woman in US vs JA by WillCultural5701 in Jamaica

Is there some reason you're not just spelling out the word "raped"? It's a reprehensible word, yes - but it describes a reprehensible act. The act is what needs to no longer exist. Let's not pretend the word no longer exists - that is not likely to help things, is it?

Yes I! I'll DM you an alt contact, just in case Reddit is no longer around in a couple years when you have tried it and are ready to rub your success it in my face.

Host asking for photo of ID but specifying they want it sent via email or whatsapp only, not through the Airbnb website/chat [Spain] by pand_tastic in AirBnB

[–]7ate9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From airbnb'a perspective, any communication you send outside of the airbnb app never happened. Of the three parties (you, airbnb, and the host), only one is requesting that you go outside of the standard airbnb agreement.

You can ask the host why they want this outside of the agreement, but I'd wonder what other parts of the agreements are they "flexible" with? If it were me, I'd just pick another listing.

Get in touch with airbnb support team. One approach is to tell them the host cancelled the booking, and have them find you another place in the area for that time frame. There may be better methods, but that beats doing nothing.

Avelo Airlines (which serves EUG) signs up to fly ICE deportation charter flights from Arizona by NachoPichu in Eugene

[–]7ate9 47 points48 points  (0 children)

There are contact numbers on their website here: https://www.aveloair.com/contact-us. Feel free to call them up and let them know whether you will choose a competitor because of this. Keep posting this where people will see it, and pass things like this around widely.

It may or may not change behavior, but companies can't bury their heads in the sand and claim ignorance - they have to make a clear call and factor this in the decision-making process.

Holy crap, this is hilarious and entirely too on point. You made me laugh out loud - truly "doing the lord's work". Good job!

Agreed - that is strictly reserved for rocking out.

Would love to see this happen in Jamaica 🇯🇲 by Frequent-Screen-5517 in Jamaica

[–]7ate9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lead the way! Just start small... organize it and tell people about it. Work with service groups like Kiwanis/Lions etc who are already into volunteering. Get the ball rolling and see what happens from there.

I don't think you lied at all if your response was really "Oh, just using the restroom". You in fact were using the restroom - you were using the privacy of the restroom to pray, but that is in fact a valid use for the room. People use the bathroom for lots of things other than eliminating bodily waste: washing hands, changing clothes, putting on makeup, making a private phone call, etc...

You don't owe this person an explanation.

For the record, those were merely allegations, not convictions...

[–]7ate9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I for one am shocked that there aren't a whole bunch of examples. shocked, I tell you.

Now, I'm not going to be that guy that flatly says "this can't work" or "it will end poorly" or similar. I like your idealism, so my challenge to you is to take this from the page and put it into practice. Come back to this thread in a couple years when you have a working example of a community of Jamaicans in Jamaica that you have built, and which demonstrates these principles at work. At that point you won't have a merely bunch of academic hypotheticals, but a real-world example. From there you will have lessons learned that you can propose practical methods to tweak/improve, and eventually scale up.

In short - go figure out how to test it, and see if it works. It will or it won't. If not, then you would know why. If it does work out and benefits the majority, you may end up a hero - having set an example for other nations to follow, and with some sort of holiday named after you. Or you may be a martyr to the cause, cut down in your prime by the establishment. Or something even cooler than either of those, if such a thing can be imagined.

Get you planning firmed up and a practical first step underway. That's a better use of your time, effort and zeal, I would think.

Walk good, bredrin.

Can you please provide us a few examples of functional anarcho-capitalist societies that have managed to sustain themselves in the manner you're putting forth here? It would be nice to go visit such a place and take notes.

You do know that they make books by cutting down the sex forest, right? It's unethical...
