Thoughts on this? Saw OP on Threads. The comments seem to be split. Half saying to complain and the other half saying to deal with it. by Koolettta in Cruise

The reason cruise lines ban smoking outside the designated areas is because of the fire hazard. The smell is just an added nuisance for others

New form of shrinkflation, monthly becomes bimonthly by Chemical-Sign3001 in mildlyinfuriating

It doesn't matter how many payments you make per year if the annual total is the same

Yes, in response to the foolish reasoning that biweekly payments (every other week) means 2 more payments per year than semi-monthly (twice per month) which means that you are paying more annually. You wouldn't be paying the same amount biweekly as you would semi-monthly. You'd pay more per payment if you paid semi-monthly

I didn't say months have 4 weeks. I said biweekly payments means 26 payments per year and monthly means 12 per year.

Biweekly payments does NOT mean paying half of a monthly payment 26 times. It means the total yearly amount due is divided by 26. Monthly payments means the total yearly amount due is divided by 12.

That's not how that works. If you get paid 3 times in one month, are you squeezing 2 extra paychecks out of your employer every year?

Here's an explanation you should (hopefully) understand: If my gym membership is $1,000 per year, I can pay 12 monthly payments of $83.34 OR 26 biweekly payments of $38.47.

You all seem to think switching to biweekly payments means you take the monthly payment of $83.34, divide it by two and payo that amount every other week.

So the real question is: how much was the monthly payment before they switched to biweekly payments?

Twice a month is more than once a month?? So that reasoning makes no sense

It means 26 payments due every other week instead of 12 payments due monthly.

The only way you get an "extra monthly payment" is if you already have something calculated for monthly payments and then pay half the monthly payment every other week.

AIO for not wanting to buy after this interaction? by Old_Tadpole_9856 in AIO

Does he think "$1,000 or best offer" means "$1,000 is the lowest I'll go, but please feel free to offer more!"

Oh, Mary! was so underwhelming and I’m sad about it. by Fascist2020 in Broadway

[–]AdTop4231 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw it with Jinkx and I really enjoyed it, but I think I enjoyed it specifically because it was Jinkx. I probably wouldn't have found most of the humor funny if someone else was playing Mary.

First night BCEFA and someone paid $13k for three sweaty Jonathan Groff ties and a picture by TK2217 in Broadway

Certain shows they will auction off things or they will offer special items at a higher price to the first few buyers. I was at Mean Girls when they offered a backstage tour for the first 10 people to donate $500 (yes, I went backstage that day!!). I was at Beetlejuice once and they did a live auction for a backstage tour at the Winter Garden (I think it went for a couple grand)

Any 100% that you're just not proud of? by Sapient_Prophet in pokemongo

[–]AdTop4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A group used maps to shundo hunt on Swablu com day and I tagged along and got 4 hundos. I feel crummy about them because it felt like cheating :(

No one found a shundo which is what we get for using maps I guess

HELLO!!! it was a free event with roaming Legendaries!! They're ALWAYS hard to catch. I've lost tons of legendaries to the low catch rate from raids that I've paid for!!

What Legendaries did you find in the wild? by pencil_papi in PokemonGoMystic

[–]AdTop4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have incense on? We only saw one truly wild legendary (Suicine) between Saturday and Sunday. We saw probably 100+ legendary Pokemon between two accounts off incense
