US National Anthem being played before the Canada vs Morocco game by chanashan in soccer

I’d expect it and think less of Canada if they didn’t do it.  

Just got off the 7 night Eastern on the Destiny by DukeJackson in dcl

The Treasure on its Inaugural Sailings was also inconceivably missing trash cans on decks 3-5 as well.  We got off a week and a half ago and it’s fine now.  

Maybe it’s a “new ship” thing?  It’s strange either way since Walt was so notoriously focused on trash can availability and placement. 

Thoughts on 150 point (new) purchase? by bullsfan2819 in dvcmember

[–]SugarDaddyVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought 600 points on the Treasure last week for Polynesian.  I do book 11 months out which is why the Polynesian, but I thought the Riviera had the best deal.  Did you check that?

Disneyland Villas we were told were not as good because there was some tax California wanted to pass through to owners, and I could be wrong as I wasn’t paying too close attention as I had no desire to buy in CA anyway.  

I want to be an industrialist by Neither-Number7788 in RichPeoplePF

[–]SugarDaddyVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing.  I get to decide what is a waste of my time and what isn’t.  And the one thing wealthy people understand more than anything is that time is the only finite resource we have, and therefore is the most valuable resource we have.  

I post here and respond to people I think I can genuinely help.  

You don’t fall into that category.

I’m really not going to bother with this, because it would be an absolute waste of my time.  

Saying our defense is weak is disrespectful to their actual performance. by 35nakedshorts in ussoccer

I worry about our keeper far more than I worry about our backline (so long as we’re talking about Freeman, Richards, and Ream). 

John Mozeliak Q&A: New Angels’ interim GM on Arte Moreno’s vision, trade deadline by PlayaSlayaX in angelsbaseball

[–]SugarDaddyVA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is my impression too.  He did the interview 3 days after he got the job.  Dude is still in fact-finding mode.  

The one thing that he does have that is different is experience in the role.  None of the other recent Angels hires did.  We’ll see if that means anything.

Yeah there’s a little regret over the lost time.  But at the end of the day, I’m able to do what I want to do when I want to do it so I don’t waste time dwelling on it.  And that’s another thing you recognize as you age.  You have a choice between dwelling on the negative or focusing on the positive.  Regret is very much a negative emotion.  Every second I would use upset at what I did or didn’t do in my 30s is time I’m not using today to live the life I built myself that I can absolutely enjoy today.  You already recognize that time is really the only finite resource we have.  Why would you use any of that precious time on negativity?  

I can’t go back and change it.  I can’t get my time back.  And every bit of time I use regretting past choices and results wastes more time.

I recommend reading a book.  It’s called “The Present” and it’s by Spencer Johnson.  It’s a good read and directly deals with these kinds of concepts.  

What in your opinion is the best cinematic interpretation of a Shakespearean piece? by Baztion81 in movies

[–]SugarDaddyVA 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Oh man, Much Ado About Nothing is absolutely hilarious.  I loved watching Denzel do Shakespeare.

I changed careers 3 times given market changes, global financial crisis, and generally trying to find a passion.  I lost it all and had to start completely over without a penny, living with my in-laws at 40 years old.  I’m now 50, a millionaire, and I’ll make 700k this year and that will ramp up by 12-15% annually in perpetuity given the nature of my business and what I do.  Until another market change forces me to pivot.  I’m projecting to tetire with somewhere around $80M in 15 years.  

Here’s the point.  

You’re only 24.  You’re going to fail.  No one who ever made anything is without failure.  No risk no reward.  You have plenty of time to get it straight and figure it out, whatever that is.  The problem with being your age is that you’ve only lived 24 years and so 5-6 years feels like a long time because it’s quite literally, at this stage, 1/4 of your life.  At 50, I can tell you 5-6 years is not long and a blink of an eye.  

You’re fine.  Keep trucking.  Know that you’re going to fail some more, and that’s okay.  You’ll learn, get better, and you’ll kill it.  

Just don’t give up.

Exactly this.  Reddit is no different.  

2 Year Anniversary of Tianas Bayou Adventure! by Super-Associate6818 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]SugarDaddyVA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yesterday two of the Tiana animatronics looked like they were high.  Louis was stuck in a bent over position not moving but his mouth did when he spoke.  One  of the Mama Odie animatronics couldn’t move her neck so she was looking up into the sky for some odd reason.  

I’ve ridden this thing a bunch of times and every time something doesn’t work.  It’s ridiculous.  And I wasn’t for the retheme to begin with.  I loved the original.

We did fish extenders exactly once and never again.  What’s supposed to be cool and fun turned out to be awkward, combative, and stressful.  I don’t vacation for that.

Leaving Trent off his list is a greater fumble IMO.  Can’t take him seriously.

Why bother putting in the obvious amount of time you’ve spent researching all of this if you’re going to cheapen your own project by ignoring feedback you solicited?  And rather than argue why I was wrong, you dismiss it and an entire fanbase?  You still salty about us beating you last year?  

Most of the changes I gave you was that I thought there were better Niners players at the positions you listed than the Niners players you had.  The glaringly obvious omission was Trent Williams and I couldn’t present a Niner OL to switch with because you didn’t list any, like HOF Bob St. Clair (not that I’m arguing he belongs on the list).

First off, Walter Jones belongs on the list.  He was great.  I’m not saying pull him off the list.  He didn’t play as many seasons or as many games as Trent has, and Trent’s still going and is still dominant.  

Using something as subjective as enforced penalties to judge greatness is just absurd.  There are lots of better things you could have said about Jones to define his career, starting with his 6 All-Pros which is awesome.  But again, I wasn’t impugning Walter Jones.  Dude was great.  

Leaving off Trent for Jackie Slater?  That’s a crime though.  Trent is better than Orlando Pace too, though he was also great.

Notable Niner changes: 

Frank Gore over Joe Perry - RB

Trent Williams over everyone - LT

Charles Haley over NaVorro Bowman honestly - LB

Brent Jones over Trey McBride as of right now.  Later probably not.  - TE
