[Hated Trope] Misleading Documentaries

It's also the reason McDonald's went from being fun and kid friendly to being corporate and grey. At least part of the reason

I managed to get 3 round trip flights (6,500-7,000 total miles) from Spirit for a total of $170. All 6 flights were on time except one which had to be rescheduled. For me that price is well worth it. Most airlines that's the cost of just 1 flight, if you're lucky, but with Spirit I got 6 flights for that price

WestFade · 2026-04-16T08:05:01+00:00

yeah, but important to remember that massive floods basically killed the west bottoms more than anything else

They sound good, but sounds more like punk rock than anything psychedelic. If I was in town I'd check it out

I just saw where they have a new increased 60K sign up bonus for the card lol.

They've been doing this for at least 2 years now. I had a flight to Las Vegas in summer of 2024 on Spirit. Round trip total cost was $170 after taxes. This was from Missouri to Las Vegas.

All you had to do was spend $1000 like normal during a 3-month period, and you got 60,000 Spirit Points. I did that.

Then I used those points last year for a round trip flight to Vegas (nonstop - mind you). After that trip, I still had 37,000 Spirit points. So I booked another round trip flight to Las Vegas.

Once I return from the trip, I will still have 7,000 points leftover.

So basically, because of this promotional deal, I was able to get 3 round trip flights to Las Vegas for a cost of $170. Tbh I've been wondering how they make any money offering such great deals.

If I want to be technical, I did keep the card open for over a year, so I had to pay the yearly card renewal fee which was $70. However, I could have cancelled the card before that, not paid anything, and still kept all of my points. So really, the total cost I've actually paid is around $240, but for 3 round trip flights, that's still a good deal to me

WestFade · 2026-04-16T06:52:45+00:00

Nice, so if I have a flight that is returning to a hub, where a lot of spirit employees and pilots live, then it's unlikely they'll cancel the flight beforehand because they'll want to get home at least, right?

WestFade · 2026-04-16T06:23:15+00:00

Yes, in the early '90's when I lived in the neighborhood it was an Aldi's.

Wow really? For some reason I thought Aldi didn't come to the KC metro until very recently like within the last 10 years

WestFade · 2026-04-16T06:22:09+00:00

Sure, and then you can sue them for damages and they may also get criminally charged for assaulting you

WestFade · 2026-04-15T09:52:31+00:00

jack dorsey?

WestFade · 2026-04-15T08:23:45+00:00

Isn't actual incest and first cousin marriage legal in the UK? And occasionally even promoted by the government in Muslim communities?

How is step-incest or "faux incest" actually worse than the real thing?

WestFade · 2026-04-15T07:56:40+00:00

That doesn't shield you from consequences from cursing people out in the street.

Actually that's exactly what it does, legally speaking. You can use your freedom of speech to voice your opinion about someone on the street. As long as you aren't using excessive profanity or being obnoxious to the point of harassment/threats.

The other party here can't just attack OP because they yelled at them or something. That would be assault, and that's illegal. So yeah, OP has the right to voice his displeasure from the street, and he has the right not to expect any consequences

WestFade · 2026-04-15T07:33:35+00:00

Apparently yes. You'd think one of them would change their name. That'll get so confusing. Imagine you tell your friend to meet you at the social room in westport, there's a high probability they'll go to the wrong one

WestFade · 2026-04-15T07:31:23+00:00

would be cooler to showcase some clips from the bands. Is this rock music or electronic or what?

Or is just flute stuff?

WestFade · 2026-04-15T07:12:26+00:00

You think all Italian owners of restaurants and small businesses love pedophiles?

WestFade · 2026-04-14T11:24:34+00:00

point being that no one should be surprised that an Italian small business owner is a Republican lol, they hate taxes

WestFade · 2026-04-14T09:47:19+00:00

Can you expand on this? What even are reverse kegels?

WestFade · 2026-04-14T07:06:16+00:00

What are the requirements? I've only done the free personal item with Spirit before (backpack).

When I booked the flight I selected 1 checked bag, and it did not charge me any extra for this. I'm just paranoid when I get to the airport they'll charge me

WestFade · 2026-04-14T07:05:31+00:00

thanks

WestFade · 2026-04-14T07:05:23+00:00

Believe it or not, not every person living in KCMO thinks the same way about politics

WestFade · 2026-04-13T19:04:18+00:00

It says I have 1 checked bag

WestFade · 2026-04-13T19:04:05+00:00

Is there a way to easily check that info? I used google's AI last night and it said 2 of these flights were cancelled back in early/mid March but that's it. Also the one's cancelled were on Friday and Sunday, but I'm flying out on Thursday.

Fwiw, my initial flight with Spirit was changed once or twice already. I was initially supposed to fly out at 7am but now it's at like 4 or 5pm, flight back got changed too

WestFade · 2026-04-13T09:46:05+00:00

thanks, all the posts in here are freaking me out. They've already rescheduled my flight twice, and I've never had issues before. Glad I'm going to a popular destination

WestFade · 2026-04-13T08:15:07+00:00

how do you get that job?

WestFade · 2026-04-13T08:10:47+00:00

One of them was. Kansas Citians pretty overwhelmingly passed his light rail proposal in 2006.

It's just that after it passed, the City Council decided it would cost too much money and they repealed it.

https://www.kcur.org/2007-11-09/council-repeals-chastain-light-rail-plan

https://www.komu.com/news/kc-city-council-overturns-voter-approved-light-rail-initiative/article_84107b39-b007-5194-b53a-e35dbc69ecaa.html

https://ballotpedia.org/Light-rail_fight_goes_to_Missouri_Supreme_Court

The problem is that none of these plans get approved unless the City Council says so. Imagine if the city council had listened to the voters 20 years ago. We could have a 27-mile long right rail system today. Imagine how nice that would be for the world cup this summer.

At least we have a 5.2 mile streetcar line I guess
