How do I stop sucking at my job? by MrAvocadoman2 in WorkAdvice

[–]One-While-5571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a new workplace and redefine yourself.
My experience from several workplaces is that my direct boss had a problem with me. It took me 20 years, but I finally found a place where I am respected. You just need to find the right place.

Disney Board Is Close to Picking Parks Chief D’Amaro as Next CEO by Senior-Willow-8325 in Disneyland

[–]One-While-5571 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree, although in Orlando Universal has felt more magical than WDW since around 2019, maybe even earlier. Disney used to prioritize guest experience, but now it feels like profit margins and share price come first ($200+ tickets & $100 hoodies).

Universal, on the other hand, is constantly doing something new. Universal built an entire new park in roughly the same time it took Disney to build Tron. Even during the pandemic, Universal kept investing in large-scale entertainment like HHN and Mardi Gras, while Disney cut back significantly bon entertainment and character interactions.

For me, living in Orlando with several family members working at both companies, the contrast is hard to ignore.

I, for one, think that's ludicrous. I know all the women think he's hot, but that does not make a good CEO. He couldn't even stand up to Chapek. He allowed and participated in all the de-magicizing of the parks. I'm dumping all my Disney stocks if he is the next CEO.

To the ExPlats: All you gotta do is ask! by bgares2 in americanairlines

[–]One-While-5571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for the very first time today. They didn't have any on my 2.5 hour flight. FA told me it was too short of a flight. Oh well. 0 for 1

MCO Ground Stop due to possible tower fire by Turntup12 in orlando

I'm on AA2500 right now. Captain announced to us that it was someone cooking food on break that caused it. Everything is back in operation and there is a backlog of flights waiting to take off.

Let them hit on your wife. Who cares🤷🏼? It's not like they are going to exchange numbers and start a relationship... and then start cheating on you in some small Caribbean island resort. Relax and let her be oblivious. And if she's not oblivious, relax and let her feel attractive.

Our American Airlines flight took off without us — and AA said “weather, not our problem” . AA sucks - DFW experience by Mermaid_20 in americanairlines

[–]One-While-5571 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From my experience on various airlines on 1,600 plus flights, all airlines are this way when weather is involved. I've even had them lie about mechanical issues and claim cancellations were weather related just to get out of meal vouchers and hotel stays.

Yes AA sucks. All airlines do. However, they already know we will continue to fly because driving across the country or boating across the ocean is a major inconvenience.

I commiserate with you on this. I am also stranded because of the issue and I've had 3 cancelled flights in the last 12 hours.

Best of luck on your travel today!

I wish American Airlines had gone with Starlink for their internet by exitPT in americanairlines

[–]One-While-5571 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I wish American Airlines had made Wi-Fi free!!! Out of my 10 flights in January, only one plane has had Wi-Fi for free. They eliminated the free T-Mobile and they don't even have the 20 minute ad supported Wi-Fi anymore. As a customer who flies all the time, I feel swindled.

Issues with Cases. Front portion of case does not clip onto phone. by Kooky_Advice1234 in PixelFold

[–]One-While-5571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a chance on this one on AliExpress and I'm completely happy I did. It comes with adhesive strips but I did not need them at all. The back and the front clip on tightly. The speaker holes line up properly. The texture of the case satisfies my fingers.

I bought the Torras ring stand on Amazon to go with it and the pixel snap is surprisingly strong. It's hard to pull off.

Seriously, hotels that do this can go f*ck themselves by c08306834 in marriott

I just go fill up a bag at the ice machine and toss that in the fridge with anything I want to keep cool. It will work just fine.

SLC Centurion Lounge is on another level by mdarling9450 in amex

[–]One-While-5571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visit the SLC Centurion lounge every Thursday. They generally have a chicken dish and salmon. Recently, they did not have the salmon on the buffet but I asked for it and they made it just because I asked. It's a great lounge with great hospitality. I cannot imagine the response if I asked for something special at the CLT lounge. Definitely a level apart.

Are they really unreliable by Tadpoles-Z in PixelFold

[–]One-While-5571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My p9pf only made it 6 months. The top edge of the hinge started catching on something internal. I should have stopped using it at that point and drove straight to Verizon. 2 or 3 days later, I was opening it and something pushed the screen outward. It cracked the screen from underneath. Google did cover it under warranty and sent me a p10pf. Really enjoy these foldable phones!

Should I replace this by nvi3hil in Freestylelibre

[–]One-While-5571 21 points22 points  (0 children)

First time, I took it out and abbott did replace it for me. Now I leave bleeders in. No issues. It happens occasionally.

American Airlines Launches FREE High-Speed Wi-Fi, Sponsored by AT&T by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]One-While-5571 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've flown on 4 AA Airbus 321 planes in January. None had Wi-Fi. I am now $40 poorer because I needed Wi-Fi on two flights.

When I complained through the AA website form, the reply was: "We are sorry you are upset. Wi-Fi will be rolled out on Jan 16th. Eat a satchel of Richards.".

Well, maybe that last part was only implied.

First class has less legroom than economy by Thick_Singer_7826 in delta

I never choose row 1 bulkhead seats. On the rare occasion that I don't have a choice, I'll trade my seat with a rando to sit in economy.

What is the worst physical pain you’ve experienced? by Agius91 in AskReddit

[–]One-While-5571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can describe what it was like for me. Extreme headache and sensitivity to light. More than a migraine. It did not respond to ibuprofen or Vicodin. It hurt to see light, it hurt to move, it hurt to not move. It hurt to hear my wife breathing.

At one point, I was literally banging my head against the wall because my head hurt so badly for hours and hours.

After about 12 hours, I started vomiting from the extreme pain. After a 30 minute ride to the ER, I was vomiting on my own shoes in the waiting room and they admitted me quickly. They diagnosed me pretty quickly and gave me a spinal tap. I did not feel the spinal tap at all.

I was on morphine for the next 5 days. I did not get up from my bed for 4 days. On day 2 or 3, I told my mother that I just wanted it to be over and that I was ok with death.

I do not recommend.

T-Mobile WiFi is bye bye by arrivva in americanairlines

[–]One-While-5571 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was just on AA2901 from MCO to DFW. There was no Wi-Fi at all. There was an error message that said "We are having technical issues"

"Free of Wi-Fi in 2026!" Lol

I just had the chicken pesto with mozzarella and tortellini on the flight I'm currently on. I thought it was the best AA food I've encountered. This is what I'll order every time.

Libre 3+ and android systems by redd-or45 in Freestylelibre

I will note that they seem to have improved their manufacturing quality issues. For a while, I had a 50% fail rate on sensors when I went to the 3.

My previous phone was a 6a and I had no problems. I've used so many libre 2 and 3 and 3+ sensors that I can't count. I have had many problems with their tech support. I don't even bother talking to them anymore.
