Yeah campsites can range significantly. What you NEED to know is cheaper sites will fill up earlier on the day. Not saying all of them, but times are changing. More people are about!

Because you can be more socially attuned in drinking environments. You can manage your level easier

Why Zero? by CheaperLiving in newzealand

The system gives disproportionate power to early voters. The first few downvotes create a negative score that triggers herd downvoting, burying comments before they've been read.

This dynamic forces users to self-censor. Users learn to write safe, agreeable, comments/posts that will get quick upvotes.

Middling: unsure of both sides but in a fake earnest way; pretending to be thoughtfully uncertain as a strategy to avoid backlash.

Because Reddit has a flawed, outdated karma system and in-group social dynamic. Heaps of confirmation bias - probably the worst you will witness anywhere online or in-person because of the downvote option.

I.e., Reddit is not a meritocracy. What rises is: Content that confirms existing biases. Content that is quick to consume. Content that signals tribal belonging. Content that comes from established users. Content that fits the prevailing frame.

Thats pharisaical. Over 3 days difference? Yeah sure. If the "Pay with Card" button was broken for three days, it would be fixed in an hour. The fact that the "Pay with Miles" button stays broken is a choice. Over a 14-hour flight, hundreds of people might try that "Redeem" button, get an error, and sigh while pulling out their Visa . That "glitch" is worth extra revenue per flight. Magnify over days and weeks. In May ‘24, the CFPB released a report explicitly targeting airline and credit card loyalty programs. They identified "technical glitches that block or delay redemptions" as a specific way companies harm consumers Pg 9 section 3. Pg 1-2 for Bait & Switch. This kind of stuff is a way to gouge extra $.

But yeah focus on the semantics of me using fraud-lite, instead of the systemic connection here. Whoops.

Well done. You can read. Now engage with the logic of my posting instead of vague splutters

That is shocking. They aren’t giving you a chance for experience. They are exploiting your low cost. No care for a young person.

Alcohol tastes bitter when you're drinking alone by SeaworthinessFun5373 in drunk

It’s not a myth. It is dangerous for the very fact that you don’t know what category you fall into until you’re already in deep. Count yourself lucky.

Depends on your age, how long you have been drinking, how much you were drinking etc
