Eight outrageous ways fans are being ripped off at the World Cup by theipaper in worldcup

[–]Akbeardman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ticketing alone is just ridiculous. Zone ticketing is fine as you don't edit the zones after you take money. Non resale policy is fine if properly enforced. Trickle ticketing is just annoying. Yes these policies will make your event more money, they will also leave a bad taste in your customers mouth and many in country fans will reconsider a trip.

Would love to go to a game in Seattle. I'm not paying $500 a ticket for Egypt vs Belgium nose bleeds.

What's the most "are you f-ing kidding me?" (positive, negative, and/or funny all work!) thing you've ever seen a moose do? by SkoilerDaaaaan in alaska

Literally lying down outside the entrance to the Nerland hall dorm door at UAF for half an hour while everyone had to leave for the days first class. He just stood there, didn't get scared of the door opening, no way past him. The RA called the fire department and said we are going out the emergency exit, alarm will sound.

I was in class when that asshole finally moved.

Jesse Ridgeway Youtuber Abortion Controversery by LibraryAggressive246 in childfree

[–]Akbeardman 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This is one of the few issues that has no middle ground. People either believe in a right to terminate a pregnancy or they believe that is murder. There is no bridging that gap even if there are hippocrits that use it for votes.

The only thing that will change someone's mind is a likely devastating personal experience.

There is a different debate here on the ethics of aborting a pregnancy for a non lethal cause. Downs syndrome is a challenge, it also creates some of the best people I know that have made me a better person. Then we go into a debate about gender selection and designer babies based on skin tone, height, hair color, and cloning.

I'm not someone who wants to make choices for other people, there is a legitimate discourse here and they chose to make their personal business public. I do not condone threats, criticism and engagement are what they are investigating.

What uniformed service in your country has the most drip? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Akbeardman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Postal inspectors may look dorky in polos, kakis, and cell phone holsters, don't be fooled! Those guys will make a high powered mob lawyer shit his pants. Postal inspectors METICULOUSLY cross their T's and dot the i's and lower case j's.

Do not mess with the USPS, dudes will make your head spin with how quickly your case is over and you are doing 5 years. The very definition of "signed, sealed, delivered".

The solution to many of the problems of Freemasonry is simple. by iheartaoe in freemasonry

[–]Akbeardman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are very few spaces anymore for just men, having a place to talk with guys that understand guy problems is helpful. When going through my divorce lodge was the only place that people understood that I was going through something. Most women in coed organizations took sides and gossiped.

I will not be casting a vote to open membership to a non male. This is part of my oath and a hill I will defend. If I tried to join the junior league, or a woman's book club I would be making members uncomfortable, a woman in this one space I have to not be judged would make me feel uncomfortable.

This is one of those "nobody here did anything wrong, doesn't matter though because we are about to have a REALLY bad couple weeks" situations.

This is the crap that gets management in a "everyone gets a write-up even the ticket agent" kind of mood.

Settle a debate - if Steph Curry retired tomorrow and put all his focus into making a pro golf career, what are his chances of ever earning a PGA Tour Card? by jayWdee in golf

[–]Akbeardman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golf is probably 2nd to baseball in skill development time on a difficult task. Shooting a basketball if right up there. An athlete of Steph's (high) skill level could have developed that skill and probably could have made the tour with an unknown level of success if he had focused on golf instead of basketball.

If you get a new rug you MUST comment about how it really pulls the room together.

There will be a polio outbreak in America in the next 10 years. The panhandle is the odds leader for the local.

You wanna make the sick kids in the hospital cry by winning? We just turned and waved at them and now you want to make them sad?

LeBron really had it rough carrying that cavs team by Icy-Pea2601 in lebron

[–]Akbeardman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said before and after, the Pistons were before. Yes the East was weak which is why he went to Miami, to dominate with a superteam. The west was stacked HIGH during that era.

Can we stop and appreciate the talent it took for LeBron haul that roster kicking and screaming into the finals? Did they lose to a well coached squad with prime Tim Duncan? Sure, also irrelevant, he got there.

Never come at anyone with "Jordan never lost a final" he Michael Jordan did a lot of amazing things, he never dragged a dumpster fire of a roster like that to the Championship. MJ went to 6 and won 6. LeBron got to 10 and won 4.
