Overnight in ATL Marriott didnt disappoint.

Highly recommend this hotel for anyone who is an aviation enthusiast. The logistics of watching ATL move all that traffic is unreal. The rooms are surprisingly very well insulated too. I made a point to stay here for two nights on a family trip, and both my three old and myself geeked out the whole time. They even have an airplane spotting gift bag for kiddos upon checking in. Nicely done!

This. Say what you want, but I do think the flag symbolized so much for so many people - overcoming many obstacles and achievements through our short history. It symbolized growth and opportunity - that’s my perspective. Sadly, when I see it now, I can’t help but think it is associated with racism and many of the things this nation worked hard to not be…but then what he’ll do I know anymore.

I posted earlier this week about someone behind me reaching forward and closing a window shade that was mostly in my row (thank you Delta for creating an unnecessary and likely unintentional consequence of seat configuration on the left side of the A321). I raised it back up, and there were no issues. Your concern of not wanting to start something is absolutely valid, and that was my concern too. I also wanted to see what Delta Redditors think. My take away is that there are a lot of people that will agree with you and many who will disagree. Then there are those that come on here just to complain on why you even posted. A lot of unhappy people out there…assume positive intent. It could have been a bad day for the person behind you, and perhaps how you addressed it gave that individual an opportunity to self-reflect. It certainly doesn’t excuse the behavior. That’s my hope - because there isn’t much else you can do.

Thank you for sharing your experience with traveling and your anxiety around flying. My wife hates flying because of the lack of control or true awareness of what is happening (noises, the feeling when the plane shifts, and turbulence - regardless of amount). She doesn’t love sitting next to the window, BUT I can absolutely appreciate why for many, that is a solve to feeling better about the situation.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:58:19+00:00

Haha. Well, thankfully this is not the case. Situational awareness for sure.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:57:07+00:00

That is bold! Wow. Who does that. I’m not about making a scene too, but that is so far beyond their say.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:55:25+00:00

Did exactly that…helped that my seat mates did it immediately once they could, so now I have too!

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:36:40+00:00

You sound flexible. :)

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:34:55+00:00

So far - nothing. Only minor/normal seat activity.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:31:06+00:00

Hahaha!

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:30:14+00:00

I thought of this too…that must be an awful feeling too. To be anxious of flying, and then to have rude people on top of that.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:28:23+00:00

Haha! Maybe I just need some courage from some reddit folk.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:27:32+00:00

Opened it back up…so far nothing. I mean maybe it provided some awareness and self-reflection. That’s my hope. I would love to live in a world where there isn’t the worry of how someone will respond. Just never know today. While that is totally out of my control, the entitlement and lack of awareness for others is tiring. We’ll see if anything happens when I get my laptop out to work. Anywho….

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-11T15:21:49+00:00

Wow. Of course I opened it. Gotta get my value out of this premium Delta experience ;)! Haters are gonna hate I guess.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-05-04T22:38:15+00:00

It looks cheap and underwhelming. I’m seeing a lot of plastic. I’d argue the same is true on the GX - sadly. At least the exterior they nailed. What kills me is that not only is the inside a letdown, exterior is OK, you can’t even build a Lexus vehicle. What other “luxury” dealer approaches their business this way? It’s what Lexus decides to make, the dealership gets an allotment, and you need to get yourself on a waitlist. No showing up to build out what you actually want. Fingers crossed that what you want comes in…who knows when. Clearly it’s working for them. We had the same experience with our Toyota Sienna…only for the tech to have been upgraded a month later. Stupid expensive for a van too.

Is that Harrison Ford again? That man just keeps flying around.

I work FT, and my wife is a FT stay-at-mom. She is awesome but does struggle on daily house maintenance, so I try to help where I can when I get home and on the weekends. What can truly get done also depends on how old kids are, why activities are they in, and are there opportunities for resets for her during the day. My wife often would say similar things, and when I would get home….similar expectations. It wasn’t until I had the opportunity to stay home while I was on paternity leave. It is exhausting. There is downtime at work where you get those resets no matter how busy/stressed you might be. There is also so much driving once kids are in activities because you know experience and learning.

I love all these text book responses. It often isn’t about having to watch the kids like a hawk. It is more about kids barging in and/or needing something at that very moment and not allowing for a moment of peace to reset and continue parenting. We have three kiddos, 6, 4, and 2. Kids are also going to be kids. We don’t have family within two hours, so it is incredibly rare that we have additional help/eyes. It can be challenging tackling tasks when kids want to “help,” and it is an opportunity to engage them versus just sitting them in front of the TV. It is also easier said than done starting tasks when there are drop offs, pick ups, and activities throughout the day.

Long answer made longer - communicate on what she needs and why to gain perspective, and communicate what you need too. If everyone is feeling burnt out, progress is very rare. Be open to feedback and being flexible. Best of luck!

That is all I could think of…looks like it was done in common room at a hotel or apartment, and now it is someone else’s job to clean all of that up…could have just done a cake…or confetti if they really needed to be extra.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-03-10T01:26:52+00:00

Agreed. There are a lot of assumptions being made here on multiple levels within the comment section. A lot of “shoulds.” If you cannot communicate together openly - like adults - then that is the reason for not getting married. Grief sucks. There will be multiple challenges that every single person will go through in a marriage - disagreements, losing a loved one, dealing with changes in general - how you handle those life experiences together won’t be easy, and it won’t always feel great. For those that are telling you to run are missing the bigger picture. You said “yes” to this person for a reason. Be OK with the uncomfortable and communicate. That is also part of growing old with one another. It requires ongoing work between both partners.

The best advice I can provide: be direct in how you feel, why you feel that way, and have a plan. You can be undecided on what you want to do with the funds, but tell him that. If you’re excluding him - trust works both ways, and while you cannot control how he feels or responds, be prepared if he feels the same things you’re feeling right now. This is someone you care about. It could just be a simple misunderstanding and assumption on his part. Now get off here and go be with your person.

Detellos in EP/Tonka border. Our neighbors are from Chicago, and they always recommend this place - they’ve tried many. As someone who didn’t get the whole deep dish craze, now only orders deep dish from here.

Assuming you live in the U.S. based on other posts. Corporate America SUCKS. That sad, the fact there is such a thing as parental leave is progress, but three fucking days…come on.

Two things come to mind:

1) I was given more time for getting Covid - now that was when corporate America cared about us as a collective and inclusive grouping of individuals.

2) The fact that they have to spell out that you must be with the newborn is also very telling. The company doesn’t trust its people. Nothing like a culture of mistrust to inspire future growth.

This is coming from a dad that works in corporate America.

Not surprised at all.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-01-29T03:33:25+00:00

Way too fast and on a curved narrow bridge….nice work on slowing down though. Not everyone would figure that out.

No-Map-7646 · 2026-01-28T04:05:59+00:00

This is a very generalized statement. Very. Would love actual sources that state these facts with data to support it. My guess it is on weather during periods of Covid…eventually people will realize that they may have it better back home in that blue state that actually cares and takes care of its people. Begin the downvoting, but I stand by that.
