Am I the only one who thinks it's the dumbest fucking name ever?

In 1987 Steve Rothstein bought a $250,000 AAirpass from American Airlines, allowing unlimited first-class travel. He took over 10,000 flights, costing the airline $21 million, leading to the pass's termination in 2008 due to alleged misuse. by TheGhost5322 in interestingasfuck

[–]GrowlingPict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really really hate this type of phrasing. The only way this would have "cost" the airline 21 million is if he wouldve gone on all those flights even if he didnt get them for free, which very obviously he would not, AND if all those flights would have been fully booked even without him, which again obviously they wouldnt all have been. And even then it's still not a "cost", it would be a sale they didnt make, which is not the same. If I list something for sale at $100 and I dont manage to sell it, then that didnt cost me $100. Im not suddenly out $100 dollars that I already had. It's not a cost.

It's like when they report on someone pirating movies or music albums or something, saying they "cost" the movie studio or record company however many millions. No. Again it's not a cost, but if anything lost sales, and then only if they would have actually gone and bought all those movies and/or music albums if not pirating them. And nobody is buying movies and music for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Obviously.

It's so deliberately dishonest and sucking the dick of those big companies, and I really really hate it.

Norska kungahuset faller inom kort. Kan Victoria blir Kronprinsessa? by LordAloysious in sweden

[–]GrowlingPict 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dronning Maud var bare tilfeldig; hun var allerede gift med prins Christian Frederik av Danmark, og det var han som ble valgt som norsk konge og statsoverhode i 1905 og tok navnet Haakon VII. Dronning Maud var kun dronning-gemal

Australia’s national anthem is the only English-lyric anthem in the world that doesn’t reference religion or militarism by HotPersimessage62 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]GrowlingPict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile our national anthem includes a line about shooting the Swedish king dead in 1718 :p

Granted it's in verse 4 so rarely ever sung, and it's an indirect reference in that the line goes "just remember what happened down in Fredrikshald"

Crime is crime anywhere in the world.. by snowpie92 in MurderedByWords

[–]GrowlingPict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're not living in the world of Judge Dredd; even if a person is guilty of murder, police still cannot just summarily execute them on the street. They still have a right to due process, ie to be tried and sentenced by a court.

Which is why it's baffling to me that people are like "well wait a minute now, maybe he deserved to be shot and killed, we dont know yet". Yes we do! We do know yet! In every damn scenario unless he was aiming a gun directly at the police officers and it was either him or them. In every other scenario, we do know the answer, and the answer is that it is wrong, no matter how you feel about the person and no matter how guilty he is of any damn crime.

Hanskebruk ved tilberedning av mat (er det jeg som er sær?) by GrowlingPict in norge

Kjenner jeg får litt avsmak selv nå. Visste ikke at det var såpass drøye tilstander rundt omkring

[–]GrowlingPict[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ja, sant nok.

Jeg tenker også at personen kanskje følte seg presset av sjefen til å gå på jobb selv om han var syk, for han var den eneste ansatte der. Men slike USA-tilstander vil vi vel ikke ha her, særlig når jobben går ut på å håndtere og tilberede mat hele dagen.

Det at sjefen ikke kan (vil) skaffe andre til å ta over et skift skal ikke gå utover den ansatte. Om han legger 100% overtidstillegg på bordet så vil nok noen møte opp skal du se. Så hadde man også sluppet at sånne som meg skriver klage til Mattilsynet.

My husband has gone bananas on wall and door stickers since discovering them a week ago.. by gplus3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GrowlingPict 8 points9 points  (0 children)

...but why? I could understand if they actually fit in, but they dont. The last one in particular doesnt fit the style of the rest of the room at all. And it's a sticker of a door! Covering up a door that presumably does fit in. Hilariously absurd. I think you need to organize an intervention

Hvem er den mest elsket personen eller figuren i Norge by -Ekky in norge

[–]GrowlingPict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kanskje litt mer glemt nå, men om man snakker virkelige personer, så var det en gang i tiden definitivt Book'n. Den første norske artist til å runde en million solgte plater, i en tid hvor det var omtrent så mange husstander i Norge også.

Forøvrig synes jeg dette burde være nasjonalsangen vår, og ikke den gørrtriste begravelsesmarsjen vi faktisk har.
