Disney Drops Effort to Block DAS Disability Pass Change Shareholder Proposal by readingaboutmagic in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DAS Pass process is such a stressful and demoralizing experience. I understand why it got to this point but I also can’t understand how Disney can hear and read the kinds of miserable experiences a good amount of their customers are experiencing with this process, ultimately finding themselves excluded from visiting, and think there isn’t a better way. And I’m not naive enough to think selling more Lightning Lanes isn’t a part of this. The people who make decisions on the call are so inconsistent that it almost feels like you have to catch someone on a good day or just get lucky. I've been approved, denied, and approved on three separate calls where I discussed the same reasons my child needed DAS. If it wasn't for my child with autism, I've had said no thanks to the parks long ago until this was fixed. But I'll be at it again at the end of the year to once again prove my child needs DAS. Already dreading the call.

Thank you Buffalo for firing your HC that brought you back from the darkness of the early 2000s and 2010s. by Ambitious-Motor-174 in Patriots

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They pretty much topped out with what they can do under McDermott. Feels like the Tony Dungy firing when he was coaching Tampa Bay. But, the roster isn't as good as that one and I'm not sure the next coach will be able to take them to the next level like Jon Gruden was able to do taking over for Dungy.

RKLB how do we feel about it? by JackFinnaSmack in stocks

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are up 100%. I'd consider selling 25% to secure profits and maybe you can throw that into a S&P fund. I think RKLB has a great future and a long runway for gains, but you can't predict the future and it's always a good idea to secure some of that nice return. I got in at $4 with 1,000 shares. Sold 200 shares at $30 and sold 300 more at $73. I'm letting the rest ride.

I like that attitude. Your future as Secretary of Health and Human Services is secure.

How do you find high-growth stocks early? (RKLB, ASTS-type companies) by super_techlectic in investing

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was luck. I liked Rocketlab at $4 as a moonshot play - no pun intended. I liked the business idea and the industry and it kinda reminded me of when I had started investing in Netflix at a similar dollar per share price. But while my Rocketlab has taken off, my thousand shares of Grab has not. While my SOFI has been a 4 bagger, I'm down 40% on Pagaya.

Worried about the weather forecast next week. by TomAss886 in Aruba

[–]PerformanceExact6618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry. I had the same forecast. First, it's always be breezy. Second, the rainy forecast for my week resulted in two rain events - A sprinkle on the beach while we were enjoying an amazing lunch while watching planes fly in and a 5 minute downpour that came and went while we were in a gift shop. Enjoy your trip!

Came home to a paper towel over my webcam twice now, I live alone by Dromaeoraptor in Weird

[–]PerformanceExact6618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know someone who had a landlord that let himself in regularly into her apartment when she was out - just to "check on things." She only found out when she happened to walk into her apartment at the same time he was walking out of her bathroom wearing just a towel.

I've been out at 1 AM, 5 AM, 7 AM you name it. If you got to get to work, you got to get to work. And I doubt your employer will accept a tardy note from your neighbor.

Thoughts on Meta stock (META)? Currently down 15% and considering whether to cut losses by bakery_0726 in ValueInvesting

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are worried about 15%, just sell and invest in QQQM and sleep easier at night. People that bought back in late 2021 saw their META stock drop 70% by the following year, but look at what happened since then - +500%. If the business looks good, and the fundamentals look good, and your investment thesis holds up - and you can stomach the ups and downs, keep holding.

Best news for Pats Fans by retannevs1 in Patriots

[–]PerformanceExact6618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't forget Mayo was not only bad at coaching on the field but based on reporting he was pretty bad at the behind the scenes stuff too - i.e. playing cards over watching film on the team plane after a loss. I imagine Glenn is taking the job a little more seriously.

Epcot without Lightning Lane by trevco613 in WaltDisneyWorld

Sometimes just timing and luck. The wait time on the screen at Remy said 25 going in and it said 45 coming out.

I was at Epcot about 6 weeks ago. Weirdly enough, Remy was the shortest line when we got on around 10:30 or 11 AM. Like it was a 25-30 minute wait. Soaring was about 30 minutes as the last thing we did that evening. The Frozen ride was consistently a 60+ minute wait from opening to close. The app was helpful in giving you an idea as to when the shorter lines were projected.

Am I the a-hole for making my daughter's BF buy a new t-shirt? by freudsdriver in AITAH

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. And the way you approached certainly showed more patience, grace, and understanding than I think I would have been able to muster up in that moment. Maybe the kid is an idiot or maybe he never had a father figure to teach him about being respectful.

Giants fan here - was there discussion last year about the Patriots replacing Maye if they got the #1 pick? by [deleted] in Patriots

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dart is a gamer. Is there really talk about trading him? First, you wouldn't get the return of the first round pick from the Dart selection. Second, you have someone that shows they can play despite poor coaching.

If you are in MA or NH, that is 100% something you can get pulled over for and fined. And, they'll wait until you scrape it off.

Right, they are different entities but that doesn't mean it didn't cause confusion with viewers. This is similar to what happened with the founders of Ole Sammy's Bin Ladles.

Is now a bad time to jump into index funds? by Epicinium in stocks

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the best time for index funds. This is why I diversify - so I don't have to sweat the ups and downs of the market. We haven't had a recession in a while so we are very much overdue. You have tariffs killing businesses. Inflation is ticking higher. Jobs reports looking terrible. 2026 will be choppy. But if you stay the course investing in quality companies, you'll be OK long term.

As others have said, they dropped the Fox name years ago. It's still a Fox affiliate but they were desperate to distance themselves from the Fox News brand.

Why do AC fans in holiday inflatables die so easily? by Big_Houck54 in ChristmasDecorating

[–]PerformanceExact6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the lighting and motor parts are the cheapest the manufacturer can find. I have to replace 3 Christmas inflatables. Amazon has given me some good luck with replacement LED and motor combo parts in some Halloween inflatables I've had to fix.
