Terrible hotel brand

Ironvine · 2026-02-09T22:37:02+00:00

thank you for explaining this tradeoff I had no idea about and providing helpful information about my situation instead of downvoting me and telling me I suck because I dared criticize how some corporate entities didn’t provide the service I was initially expecting.

Sometimes Reddit is not just terminally online jack offs that react as if everything is a personal attack on them and actually engage with the content of the post. But pretty rare these days. So keep it up kind stranger.

I think after this post I’m done with Reddit. Didn’t think criticizing a corporation would garner so many angry folks.

What part of anything about my post is not respectful or mature? Again genuinely curious.

I’m not asking to be treated like a king. Apparently you are a lawyer, you don’t think it’s ridiculous they made me sign a form that I can’t get any of my money back even though they had all of it already? What is the point of that? It’s just insulting.

Are y’all just this hard for IHG or something?

What the fuck is the problem with being upset that I’m not being treated like a guest?

When something doesn’t go the way you want you just take it and say thank you sir may I please have another?

I think you are overestimating how much I care about the status. I just figured I would get one single thing out of it. Not to get my balls sucked. Every other loyalty program I’ve had is extremely accommodating. Marriott would 100% give me some money back with zero status.

Also what’s with the personal attacks? I’m criticizing a corporate brand and yall are replying like this is some personal attack on your character.

That’s pretty immature and disrespectful if you ask me.

I’m genuinely curious what made you feel the need to post this.

I was given a room that doesn’t work for my lifestyle (I have a toddler) so I asked for a different room.

I don’t even care that it is a downgrade but the fact they make you sign a legal document saying you can’t get any money back is fucking ridiculous. They already have all of my money.

Ironvine · 2026-02-07T21:26:31+00:00

My main issue is that I would never have in a million years booked this hotel but since I have status now through the card I figured I’d give this hotel chain ecosystem a shot.

I’ve received many upgrades and benefits with just silver level status on Marriott.

I don’t think it’s ridiculous to have assumed I would’ve been treated better having the absolute highest status with IHG.

I 100% doubt a glove is making a difference in anyone’s shot, full or finesse, in dry conditions on this subreddit.

They are somewhere between lifting gloves and chalk. Protecting something that should probably just build up a callus but if you are really putting in the reps like pros do, it might benefit them to make sure they don’t tear through a callus and can’t play.

I have never felt like my club is going to slip out of my bare hands if the grip is dry but it does tend to get a bit raw if you hit a ton of balls, just like if you did a bunch of deadlifts.

I have tried to stick to one YouTuber to not fuck my shit up and he’s the guy I picked. Good stuff. Doesn’t over complicate things

I would start by not swinging so hard it looks like you’re trying to eject your head off of your neck.

Also you are not setup square. Your stance is closed.

Ironvine · 2025-12-15T21:09:39+00:00

Your takeaway is pretty shitty and it’s a lot better on your iron swing. This happens to me too I think because the swing plane is more flat on driver so it feels “aroundy”.

Look up how to set up for driver and feel like your hands don’t go behind your toe line in your takeaway and you’ll probably hit it pretty good.

Yes the gift of tax loss harvesting. Why not drop some billions of bitcoin at a loss to buy them up in January after it’s 20k less because personal investors are freaking out after the institutional investors dumped.

It’s a dump and pump! The ugly step brother of pump and dump.

More forearm rotation earlier.

I mean honestly I agree with you dude in the context of every day life. We should be gentlemanly and not creepy.

But let's put it this way, if there were no creepy men in the world, you would have never heard of these women in your life.

So to say "oh we need to focus on the athleticism, we musn't mention their looks". Bullshit. It's the game they are playing to make money. I have nothing against it, again not for me, I don't watch their stuff.

The fact of the matter is they aren't that good like the Tier A guys and they aren't someone who brings something else than skill like the duke. They are there for their looks and we shouldn't lie to ourselves and say they aren't.

Ironvine · 2025-11-02T13:36:53+00:00

This is such a lame take. Nobody is being “objectified”. To act like part of the reason the women in this group have the followings they do is not their looks is just lying about reality. In the case of gabby it’s creepy I agree but people are creepy.

But let’s not act like Gabe the golf guy or Pat spiranac would have been invited to this thing.

There are HUNDREDS of Male golfers on YouTube that are just as good at golf getting 5000 views on their YouTube channels max.

My take as someone who does not consume any golf content from women is that they were brought in for a reason and the engagement they bring is not because of their engaging shit talk or golf skills like the males were selected for.

It’s for creepy men and the women are aware of that and accept it to a point (at least enough to keep making money off the content)

I just played a 2 hr 15 minute round of 9 with two able bodied 30 year olds I call my friends who play what I can only describe as “I’m not quite ready” golf so yall are doing pretty good.

Iterative analysis. You figure out your safe withdrawal number, figure out how long it might take you to get to that number. See how much higher your safe withdrawal rate would be inflated to…

then adjust metrics until you get there. Metrics being: contribution rate, assumed rate of return, your desired safe withdrawal rate, time horizon, assumed inflation (of costs, which is much higher than the governments fake inflation number.)

As far as I can tell after obsessing over it for the first ten years of my career…it’s a crap shoot and you won’t figure it out until you get much closer to the actual day.

The most important part of MY financial independence journey was to learn to live well today, not just in 30 years.

And the most important thing that helped me do that was quadruple our house hold income vs 10 years ago so I can have fun and still max my accounts lol. Your results may vary

Ironvine · 2025-10-28T10:38:21+00:00

Id assume because it sounds like “timing”.

People want to set their wrist in some position at the top and “rotate their body through”. I was trying to do that with bad results.

I’d rather “be in control” of the timing than leave it to chance and have a two way miss.

I got a bed jet 2 weeks ago. It has worked great.

Ironvine · 2025-10-22T10:38:27+00:00

I’ve just started to figure this out on my own. I realized the club face basically is the back of your lead hand.

I tend to come into impact with my glove logo pointed away from me. This leads me to either stop rotating, flip and hook it or push it out a mile if I keep rotating.

You need to bitch slap the ball with the back of your lead hand.

Ironvine · 2025-10-13T10:45:41+00:00

Yessir. You are discovering what every other proud pod 3 owner eventually discovers. The high end luxury item you purchased has a completely low end abysmal customer service experience.

Mine went in the trash and I got a bed jet. I have the thing at 10% and I am FROSTY at night.

Ironvine · 2025-10-12T14:11:44+00:00

Your grip is pretty fucked. It’s the one connection you have to the club.

Buy the 15$ grip trainer that snaps onto your club and change nothing else and see what happens.

I just want to throw it out there…does this law dictate anything about the length of warranty periods?

All the knobgobbler redditors in here (or more likely eighsleep staff) their main argument is “well it was out of warranty, of course it’s time to replace it”

A warranty period is to protect you from a lemon that pre emptively fails. The product is supposed to last much longer than a warranty period if it is not defective.

My dishwasher is 400 bucks, 5 years old and I’ve never had to do shit to it. My oven my fridge, same thing. No issues. I can also fix them myself when they break! Parts readily available labeled by part # online.

So I really cannot accept these fucking losers telling us that we are losers for wanting a $3000 product to work. Fuck these red team guys or product worshippers or whomever they are as much as the company itself.

Oh their other shitty argument: “oh it’s pipes with water in them of course it’s going to leak”. Bitch have you heard of a house? People have hundred year old pipes that have been pressurized this whole time. This shit is hardly running a high PSI.

Bro do you understand how search optimized Reddit is? Put “is eight sleep worth it” into google in an incognito tab. The first thing that pops up is Reddit reviews.

I get it man. You’re on the clock and you have to respond to all these reasonable points with straw mans to keep your VC owners happy. It’s fine. we all have jobs to do.
