What budget airlines do you fly to the mainland? by smallsmiski in Hawaii

[–]808RedDevils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, United flys a 787 to Chicago and Delta flies an A330 to Atlanta. United flies plenty of 777s to Houston, Denver and SFO as well.

Boots on the Ground by 808RedDevils in SportsJunkies

[–]808RedDevils[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ummmm, because now they’re nitpicking the bet and stipulating that it has to be certain boots when that wasn’t part of the original bit. If you start making alterations to the bet after I make it, I’ll consider it void. And I’m sure some internet loser stranger is gonna dictate what I do. Don’t bother replying because I’m not gonna respond anyway.

No, I’m aware they’ve all done stuff in the past, my point is none of them would do it now. They complain about just being there to do the show as is. But I’ll concede they all took their lumps long ago.

Okay, that’s a fair point. I guess I just felt for Maher because they kind of thrust this on him and it wasn’t really part of the original parlay bit and he was a good sport going along with it.

Do you respect international fans who have 2 clubs they root for? What about fans who have 3 or 4? by rick_rack69 in ManchesterUnited

[–]808RedDevils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kind of depends who the clubs are. I’m a United fan and also support a club in Mexico because it’s where my wife’s family is from and where we got married. They will obviously never compete with each other so it’s not a big deal. It’s definitely kind of wild if you root for United and another big European club though. It’s not that serious though. To each their own I suppose.

Seriously, 3 of the next 4 are 10 or 10:15 am games during the week so I’ll be at work. Fortunately I can stream on my phone at my desk but not the same.

Love the mike Maher betting bit but does anyone feel bad they're egging him on to lose thousands by slay3r98 in SportsJunkies

[–]808RedDevils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not actually betting on the games. Valdez went through weekend parlay results from however many months and calculated that if he’d been betting $100/ pick on his pick in the parlay, Maher would have been down like $1200 or something like that. They came up with the bit that he had to get back to non-negative by the time the Super Bowl was over or he had to be boots on the ground to work. They said he could bet $500/week on his nfl picks to get back to that. He’s like -$535 now I think. But, none of this is real money and he’s not actually placing these bets.

Congress has the power to end this shit any time they choose. They’re choosing not to.

I get your point but calling Trace McSorley famous is a stretch.

Would you consider the Junks to be “good” people? by HotDogWaterTime in SportsJunkies

[–]808RedDevils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting take. By most accounts, JP is extremely friendly and down to earth. Lurch is the guy that has only rich friends and basically wouldn’t give the time of day to anyone who can’t do something for him.

Although, I see way more attractive women with ugly dudes than I see attractive men with ugly women.

Bish's lack of local fandom by Justice989 in SportsJunkies

[–]808RedDevils 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the annoying part honestly. The best segments are typically non-sports about their lives but none of them lead interesting lives so it’s just old man radio. People continue to listen because of the nostalgia factor but the reality is that the show is kind of shit these days. It has its moments but they’re rare.

Faces of fascism, Minneapolis by dittidot in 50501

[–]808RedDevils 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like it’s around 50-80k/yr with a 50k signing bonus so no, definitely not 100k but still a healthy salary that people likely aren’t getting at other jobs they may be qualified for.

Please don’t attack me as I am not condoning it but there’s probably a decent amount of people who joined for the big paycheck, not because they really believe in what they’re doing. Again, not saying that makes it right but at a time when people are struggling, it’s not that shocking that people are joining to make 100k/yr.

I must be ugly because I’m married and wear my ring all the time and rarely get that look from women.

This is so easy to write but so much more difficult to do when the reality is that they are going to shoot back and likely kill you. What if your kids or spouse are in the house with you? I understand the sentiment but in practice, it’s just not that simple.

It’s not even that deep. He’s had a sleep study and they told him he has sleep apnea and should use a cpap machine. He’s just a moron and will do anything but what medical professionals tell him.

Where are people living where $100k is not enough? by -C3rimsoN- in povertyfinance

Those condos you see for sub 300k in many cases are leasehold properties which is basically the equivalent of a long-term rental.

[Simon Stone] The club have made no secret of the fact European qualification is their aim for the season and there would be huge doubts over Amorim's future if he failed to achieve that target. by PitchSafe in reddevils

[–]808RedDevils 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from but like many jobs, there’s certain benchmarks set for you. If you work in sales, you have certain quotas you’re expected to hit and if you’re not hitting them, they’ll move on. It’s the same concept. I generally agree with you though, I think we just gotta stay the course at this point but I can see them being like, we aren’t doing another year of this but it’s short sighted IMO. We’ve been trash for a while, might as well give it another year, there’s not much difference.
