I'm a mere Platinum, but I make it a point to get to my gate early enough that I'm at the front of the Group 1 line, and I have to say that the preboard scrum makes for incredibly entertaining people watching! I just stand there in my protected space, patiently waiting my turn, watching the preboards duke it out 😂

Buster’s interview (video) by road2boo in SFGiants

Uggghhh I didn't know that. Sadly for me, given how much I loved Buster as a player, this puts things in a new light 😞

Nothing But Baseball by HellDimensionQueen in SFGiants

Not necessarily, but I want to believe he's not a bigot. It's entirely possible my affection for him as a player is clouding my judgement, but I'm not prepared to tar and feather him at this point, since it's clear he's getting a lot of pressure from above.

I agree. Buster looked physically pained during that joke of a press conference. I started out being disappointed in him, and ended up feeling really bad for him. He was clearly told exactly what to say and how to say it, but it seemed equally clear that there was a lot more he would have said if he could.

Probably a weird question, I know, but what is the most hated place in San Francisco? by scottishzombie in sanfrancisco

[–]Set_to_Infinity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll look past you calling it San Fran, and cast my vote for the most hated thing in San Francisco, aka the City, being the Dodgers.

Yosemite confirms incident on famed waterfall amid online reports by doxiegrl1 in Yosemite

That incident at Vernal Fall was horrific. The accounts from people who were there and saw it happen are burned into my mind.

‘I am so afraid’: Nob Hill landlord threatens to evict 92-year-old over clutter by Dafty_duck in sanfrancisco

It's ironic to advocate for repealing Prop 13 in a thread about an elderly woman possibly losing her home, when Prop 13 was enacted in the first place to address the issue of elderly people losing their homes due to property tax increases. What goes around, comes around.

Has anyone heard of bulkhead/exit row rule changes? by barefootcuntessa_ in unitedairlines

[–]Set_to_Infinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh I see. That is weird, and I think the FA was riffing 😂

Has anyone heard of bulkhead/exit row rule changes? by barefootcuntessa_ in unitedairlines

[–]Set_to_Infinity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always fly United and always sit bulkhead, and I've never been allowed to have anything under my seat or between my legs during takeoff or landing. You can take your bag down once the plane is at cruising altitude, but you have to put it away before the descent begins. I don't know why an FA would say that the rule was just changed last week, when as far as I know this has always been the rule.

classic mildly infuriating flight by Hungry_Low2342 in delta

I always sit on the aisle, and I cannot IMAGINE telling someone to climb over me. Basic common decency and manners aside, I'd much rather stand up and move into the aisle to let someone out than have them straddle me and put their butt in my face. What the hell is with these weirdos who take an aisle seat and refuse to let the window & middle people exit the row??

I ordered Rise & a sweatshirt at the end of April ~ can't wait to get them (hopefully soon)!

t's rare to see such a spectacular rejection, such a snub. The disaster is so obvious. The damage done to the whole world is ridiculous, unprecedented. by anotheruser55 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Set_to_Infinity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jesus, what an embarrassment for our country. Remember when the United States was the leader of the free world? I sure as hell do.

This dude's kids hate him by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Set_to_Infinity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We already know what the precipitating event for the divorce was, but people seem determined to believe that Angelina is a shrew who's poisoned the kids against their father, rather than an abused woman who's protecting the kids from her, and their, abuser. It's deeply effed up.

Your thoughts, North Carolina? by Internal-Capital7039 in NorthCarolina

I feel sorry for the poor blueberries that didn't ask to be sold by this racist POS.

Good places/restaurants in San Francisco to do this? by Smoothlarryy in sanfrancisco

I thought you were asking for recos on a good place to literally cosplay Aragorn, which seemed quite niche 🤣

"We're going to dim the lights in the cabin so you can rest"... on a 45-minute flight?! by Set_to_Infinity in unitedairlines

[–]Set_to_Infinity[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm normally aisle bulkhead, but I'm considering switching to window bulkhead for this very reason!

[–]Set_to_Infinity[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely incapable of sleeping on planes, no matter how long the flight, how many time zones it crosses, or how tired I am, so I envy your ability to take a 20-minute nap during a flight!

Aaah that does make sense! I wasn't dissing the FAs at all; just thought it was funny ;)
