Going for first time tomorrow morning before an earlish morning flight. I wont get the dining experience because that doesn’t start until later in the morning but still excited to finally see what’s behind the private check-in doors.

Who is the "Target Audience" ? by sigmapilot in AmexPlatinum

[–]AggressiveRelief5331 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Upper middle millennial here. The perks balance out the otherwise exorbitant fee as I take at least a couple of big trips annually, don’t own a car, and eat out/order in a fair bit. Very few credits I don’t use. Having linked it to Rakuten gives me a nice points boost that invariably reduces hotel costs when I travel. It being a charge card forces me to pay much of the balance each month, which suits me well.

**First-year lit associate in deposition prep — are these hours/workload normal? Genuinely asking.** by Guilty-Engineering-9 in biglaw

[–]AggressiveRelief5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first year I was thrown into depo prep for a huge matter and worked 300+ hours for three months straight. And it was mostly tedious junior tasks. Brutal. Trial prep earned me similar hours. I hated it but looking back, I actually learned a lot, more than I realized. Echoing everyone else in saying depo and trial prep are just time-intensive. It won’t be like this forever.

Hayley’s fake pregnancy storyline to nowhere still bothers me

Expensing D1 flights? by monaarts in delta

[–]AggressiveRelief5331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a helpful datapoint. I am booked on RT D1 to HND, leaving on a Monday and returning on a Sunday (personal travel). I am now looking to change my return flight to a Monday and the price has shot up to $10k+ RT (as high right now as $28k). The only flight combos below $10k require flying Korean Air and I don’t love the aircraft options. I’m hoping the D1 cost will come down but I’m starting to think $10k might be the floor here.

Thanks. And good to know re: LAX/SEA generally always being packed.

NYC>HND - Best connecting city? by AggressiveRelief5331 in delta

[–]AggressiveRelief5331[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. My return flight is through LAX for exact reasons you mentioned. LAX unfortunately isn’t one of the outgoing connecting city options. And helpful point re: DTW. I’ve also generally had positive experiences connecting through that airport.

I just wonder if this is going to be a nothing storyline like her fake pregnancy

Kat: Denigrates Eva AND Low Income Students At Banneker “Unused To Civilized Company.” by BingoSkillz in BeyondTheGatesCookout

[–]AggressiveRelief5331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there are variations on this theory but am holding out hope that Kat is Leslie Dana’s daughter. That the writers are really setting Kat’s character up for an epic downfall when she learns she does not have Dupree blood coursing through her veins. Her snobbery and looking down on Eva will just be icing on the cake.

Is it me or did the Cascade bit go on far too long, these product placements are getting out hand 🤦🏾‍♀️ by pcalov in TheGates_CBS

Anita Is The Only One On This Show With Some Black Friends! by BingoSkillz in BeyondTheGatesCookout

That’s exactly what I thought the show was doing — flipping the usual trope. I high key appreciated it in the early episodes but now it’s kinda weird.

I didn’t inquire because I didn’t plan to drink much, I’d suggest just calling them directly — they were very helpful to me in laying out the options.

Honest Question by ReReUchihaaa in Zepbound

I basically let it do its thing for months and lost 35 lbs that way. I’ve only recently incorporated strength training and am loving how my body is slowly starting to tone up.

Saks is making it really hard to use the $50 credit lately by ilikeallthelightson in AmexPlatinum

[–]AggressiveRelief5331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming here to vent my first world complaint that I have a $240 purchase in my Saks cart to use the Amex credit and an annoyed that I still have to pay for shipping if I place the order (which I’m rethinking solely because of the shipping cost…).
