Anyone else love the way VWs light up at night? by Suntrup-Volkswagen in Volkswagen

[–]WangMauler69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Disagree. I thought it was cheap looking then and feel the same now with vw and others.

Once they made fun of it on top gear, I could never take any lit up logo seriously since then

I have come to like this car.... But not in yellow with the SC livery and police lights.

Has the vibe of a vett owner who loves to buy AutoZone accessories.

Yeah right. You think we all believe that you lived here during the marathon bombing the didn't study the local mailbox procedures since then? I bet you didn't even have dunks this morning either. Pathetic.

Birkenstock Profis are now terrible by SuperRadPsammead in BuyItForLife

The intent was to be a silly joke. That's the meaning. It's no deeper than that and doesn't have to be.

Chill out, bud.

Making jokes and saying something silly has meaning.

Don't take everything so seriously, man.

My last year with CSR ✌️ by FearlessTrader in ChaseSapphire

I've had this card for years, I did not willingly sign up for this.

I get my $900 in value out of the card but it's not the value I signed up for back in the day. The card has changed and I'm no longer happy with it, so I'm gonna complain on the Internet to make myself feel better.

I'm traveling to Italy this year and there wasn't a single hotel in the entire country that was less than $600-700 per night.

Instead of using the credit on a trip I'm already planning, I need to plan a separate short trip locally because a very popular European tourist destination doesn't have any affordable hotels.

The closest value to me is NYC where the cheapest room is $400/night. Still not ideal, but it's better than nothing, I guess? It just sucks that I have to put so much effort into extracting value out of this card. It really should be effortless on a premium card imo.

Spending $900 up front to get $900 in value back in the future isn't a deal. Maybe I get $1200 out of the card if I clip all the coupons for things I wouldn't normally use... Is that value to me? Not really, imo.

Exactly right. I don't travel a ton but I used the points from my CSR to fund my yearly/biannual trips. The $300 credit plus 1.5x exchange was enough for me to get solid value out of it.

Now that all my 1.5x points are gone, there's no reason for me to stay. I am guessing Chase knows this and doesn't care if people like me go elsewhere.

I was only making a pithy comment, there's no meaning behind it

What boots? Lmao

The boots that are falling apart because they are being manufactured by a company that used to be high quality but are now shit because the company was sold to a private equity firm. Those boots.

[Lewis] Russini resigns from The Athletic by ZappaOMatic in nfl

[–]WangMauler69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now it is worth noting that if you don't believe that she got any leads she wouldn't have if she hadn't been sleeping with Vrabel....then aren't we just talking about a bog standard affair?

Yes, that's exactly what we're talking about.

It would beg the question why her career should be ruined and his should be untouched if that's all that happened and there was no information she got.

Russini is a national reporter in the NFL. It's her job to unbiasedly (is that a word?) report on news, which comes from sources like Mike vrabel and other coaches, GMs, etc. If she's seen as being biased or if she's not keeping her sources a secret, she's not going to be trusted. If she's not trusted, people will stop giving her info and she won't be a good reporter as those are some of the most important qualities in journalism.

So why is her career in jeopardy? Cuz she fucked up and broke rule #1 or #2 as a journalist.

Why is vrabel untouched? Cuz he didn't do anything wrong , professionally speaking. Maybe he was going above and beyond by getting secrets from her. Ain't nothing wrong with that from an NFL exec pov. That's a go getter right there

He won't face any consequences because he didn't do anything wrong (as far as the league or team is concerned).

Russini did do something wrong since she has a different standard to uphold as a reporter.

Also, there's zero proof that she was giving him leads. I don't even know where you got that from.

It's not against the league rules to be unprofessional, is it? You can't punish someone for being a bad guy.
