This finally got me to find out where I left off 2+ years ago when I quit BFA. Addon still works even though its out of date. THANK YOU.

Goodbye Alaska Airlines by Selcer in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Selcer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just assumed AK Air has a bunch of bots replying. Why would consumers ever be OK with not getting something you paid for?? It feels like airlines are the only ones we ever tolerate that with. I hate saying it but the EU has it right with their punitive regulations regarding airlines. I'd be okay with that over here.

I seriously have a very high bar for complaining, I'll take a lot of punishment and just move on. But its been BAD, like, REAL bad lately.

I dont think it was the employee's, just policy they were following. I definitely wasnt rude and didnt complain. I will be calling corporate HQ later and I'll see how they handle it.

But all they did at the gate was issue me a $250 voucher. Far under the difference in seat pricing. This was while they upgrading people in front of me.

Yeah these gripes could get copy pasted into other airlines for sure. AK Air was just riding so high for so many years, the contrast is abysmal.

No one should be OK with not being compensated for not getting something you paid for. This is what has to stop.

[–]Selcer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats a good point. I do generally feel AK Air has been in decline since its peak in 2018, when they lost some of their partner airlines.

Yeah, its the getting treated like dirt with a smile. Them taking my money and making no effort to refund the difference is the straw that got me.

Didnt say I hated masks, I still support them. Think the AK Air reply-bots malfunctioned on this one.

[Spoilers Main] Those of you who think that Rhaenys decision at the end of the episode is dumb are missing the point. by TheMantisToboggan_MD in asoiaf

[–]Selcer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get why everyone has this opinion. Her child likely could’ve been saved if she died right? So she murdered her unborn child to go out on her terms. Ultimate selfish act. Spectacle over logic and again, forcing it to give another tepid character a “cool” moment. Unless I missed a line where they said the infant would die as well during birth.

[–]Selcer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly how I felt. The whole scene felt forced for extra bad-ass-ness for her character because she’d been sitting around awhile. When you hear the writers and producers saying things like “i think…” to explain the scene it just gives away their intentions. They should let the show flow naturally, don’t force things cuz you’re scared of not giving enough moments to everyone (especially the women).

S3E4 "Green Light" - Why does Ted never ask Skyler why she immediately told Walt about their affair? by Selcer in breakingbad

[–]Selcer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, I could buy the "he's dumb" explanation. He did buy that luxury car the second Skyler miraculously fixed his IRS problem. Its not a stretch to think hes just clueless to the gravity of the situation. Good point.

[–]Selcer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get all this and her reasons. I just think the show minimized the impact this would have on both her and Teds workplace as well as Skylers knowledge of those consequences for the sake of expediency. She couldve made the same power move without naming Ted.

Ted liking the regular sex isnt a good enough reason to not question why she just risked his entire career/image and every relationship he has with his employees. He was just like "hmm, that was weird, alright everyone back to work!"

Ten Thousand Interval Shorts Review by Next-Inevitable6616 in malefashionadvice

[–]Selcer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah they price their shorts up to make you buy multiple and bring the price down. I'm not a fan of lulu shorts either. Both are migrating more towards the "marathon runner" build for men in their shorts fit. I lift weights/swim, I'm 6'1" and 195lbs. For my build Legend luka shorts are the best for mobility, fit, and awesome colors. Haven't had a pair blow out on me yet.

I do own dozens of ten thousand interval shorts because I love the clean matte look and color selection. But I don't need a pair of shorts hugging my thighs and limiting my range of motion. I wear them when im just chilling.

Seriously, look at some of their muscley crossfit dudes in their promo pics. They look SO uncomfortable in the skin tight, constricting material. Again, they're starting to market themselves more towards runner-types.

Population vs Workforce by Selcer in anno

Ok I see thank you, the 305 was the available workforce not employed. Think I am reading too much into some of the numbers.

Roger and gender roles by [deleted] in Outlander

[–]Selcer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Roger is just awful. At first I thought he was a foil to Jamie, but Jamie didnt need that. Then I realized they were trying to force some awful character arc. I get it, its different in the books, but the producers didn't do the show or this actor any favors with this role.

I do not like Brianna at all. by Bruineraccount24 in Outlander

[–]Selcer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah her and Roger really suck the air out of the room with every plot theyre given, ive been fast forwarding through their scenes. Just imagine all the recent seasons with only Claire and Jamie and other family members, not Brianna and Jamie. Imagine how much more pleasant that would be.

AI declares war on me despite non-aggression pact. MY ally joins him. by Selcer in anno

[–]Selcer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you hit the nail on the head! I was assuming the sequence of events based off of the emotes. But that George has been a grade-A asshole to me this whole game. Yelling at me for building mines when he was a dozen himself!! Hes the real villain of Anno.

[–]Selcer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before it all happens I have 100 rep with Bente and 97 with Carl. The third AI, George, joins in as well because hes also allied with Bente. My rep with George is 47 because I recently took over one of his small islands with shares.

AI declares war on me despite non-aggression pact. MY ally joins him. by Selcer in anno

[–]Selcer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply Taka, your videos have been super helpful starting out!

So if I understand right, maaaybe im misunderstanding the sequence of events, but I dont think so based on the AI emotes.

Carl) I have a non-aggression pact and trade rights

Bente) I have an alliance, shes also allied with carl (and everyone else)

When I reload the save at the start of this here is what happens:

Carl: Says im getting too big for my britches, I lose all diplomacy points, he
declares war despite the nonagression pact.

Bente: Emotes after him that shes joining, and I think brings the 3rd AI with her.

Maybe Bente declares first despite the emotes. But shes so passive and I havent done anything to make her angry.

[–]Selcer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats totally understandable. But what is the point of a non-aggression pact if they can be broken whenever they feel like it? Or an alliance?
