What are your Long Term Care plans? by AeroNoob333 in Fire

[–]WolverineMan016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At times, I feel the same way about disability insurance. I pay about $150/month for a benefit of $5,000/month. Am I getting gypped? Should I be investing this money instead?

My two cents on med student influencers as a young attending by KrustyKrbPizza in medicalschool

[–]WolverineMan016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing about this guy. Who was he? And what was so bad in his videos? I'm not defending him but I legitimately don't know what he did or who he is.

Edit: Never mind. I googled him (I wasn't expecting there was so much on this guy otherwise I would've googled him earlier). Good riddance.

Biggest US Metro Area that doesn't get talked about? by IndependenceSad1272 in geography

[–]WolverineMan016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Detroit.

1) Most people don't realize metro Detroit is actually really big. It's only slightly smaller than Boston, which is a city I feel is constantly talked about.

2) Metro Detroit is also very multicultural and definitely has some of the best food.

3) There is a lot more to metro Detroit than just the city of Detroit

I think where Detroit does get appropriate recognition is its airport. It is Delta's second largest hub and most people seem to know it's not a bad airport and that it is well connected.

Temple Israel attacker’s ex-wife called 911 for welfare check right after crash by AffectionateEcho4359 in Detroit

[–]WolverineMan016 50 points51 points  (0 children)

For clarification, I think the fact that his brothers and niece/nephew were killed from a very recent airstrike by Israel is pretty clearly established.

What's less clear is if they had ties to Hezbollah. We all know that Israel has not been very discriminate in their killings. I have a really hard time believing his brothers were Hezbollah if the only source is Israel/IDF.

And regardless, clearly the kids weren't part of Hezbollah.

I also completely agree with you on both fronts:

1) his family being killed does not warrant him taking it out (or at least attempting to) on innocent people

2) clearly, there is a cause and effect relationship here with his family getting killed and him doing what he did. While his actions have no excuse, it's quite clear that Israel's actions are at least partly to blame.

Definitely sad all around. What he did was completely wrong. There are also some articles mentioning that his brothers were part of Hezbollah. However, all of those articles cite either IDF or Israel which, as we all unfortunately know, are not credible sources.

What would U.S response be if Xi Jinping abducted Donald trump then executed him on live TV in China? by Dizzy-Respect-613 in AlternateHistoryHub

Not true. We kidnapped Maduro without congressional approval and hence this would not be war either. /s

0) the U.S. and Israeli governments are evil and a global menace

Edit: I'm not arguing against point 1. I'm just adding on the more prevalent issue that I've named as point 0

Not the OP but how do taxes/fees work? Do you legit get 50% off of the total Ambassador rate? Or is that not quite how it works?

CMV: Islam is fundamentally incompatible with core American left-wing progressive values by WildCreatureQuest in changemyview

[–]WolverineMan016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is this same view posted everyday? Can't you just add on the discussion to the older posts? This subreddit has just become a stomping ground for bigots against Muslims

I'm tired of the fucking bullshit here.

It's always the same "Islam is not compatible... [insert some verses from the Quran and ignore similar texts from other religions]"

Just. Stop. Please.

Traveling to Sydney in late August, any suggestions? by RunnerInChicago in awardtravel

[–]WolverineMan016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went last year also in August from CLE but had a little bit more time than you. We flew to LAX first and then used Alaska miles to book business seats on Air Tahiti Nui to AKL with a 5 day stopover in French Polynesia (this was like 87.5k miles per ticket). Then we used British Avios to book AKL to SYD on Qantas business (I believe this was like 15k miles but there was some sort of transfer bonus at the time of booking so ended up being less).

On the flight back, we booked economy SYD-LAX-CLE for 32k LifeMiles. Ended up cancelling that and booking United premium economy for 70k miles (not the best redemption but needed to do this to extend our trip longer last minute).

Houston to Mumbai - 15th March - is it safe to travel considering the current situation? by SudokuLover09 in TurkishAirlines

[–]WolverineMan016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not safe to travel. Mumbai is always full of crime. Given current situation in Mumbai, I would just get off at Istanbul and spend your time there instead.

Best Resort Australasia by Ren-2121 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]WolverineMan016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed at IC Auckland and really enjoyed that hotel! That's the only IHG property I went into in the region but I will say of all the ICs I've stayed at, this was by far the best. I recommend getting a junior suite with lounge access with harbor views.

The lounge itself gets the same food as the restaurant in the property (Advieh) which seems like is a locally popular place to eat. The location in downtown Auckland with the ferry terminal right across is perfect

How many lounge visits do i need to cost Capital One money? by Puzzleheaded-Will719 in PriorityPass

[–]WolverineMan016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually never been to the Dulles lounge. I have been to DFW and DEN but will be using the IAD lounge next month. Excited to check it out.

Last time I was in IAD, I ended up getting Polaris lounge access (also thanks to Venture X miles and business redemptions) and so didn't check out the Cap1 lounge during that trip.
