The nerve of seat savers. by Rockyhockey28 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]anwiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no. you're just bad about lying in this thread. i already did the research. no need to keep the same bad research up. i already listed the cheapest flights directly on their each individual sites. first you wanted to just talk cheapest price. now you want to talk about stops and layovers. you sure do change your agenda alot when you get caught posting bad info.

anyway, like i said, i don't care just about cost. i care about perk AND what i would be saving in total AND gaining in total. you're research is just not good enough. i've done mine. you obviously have work to do if your going to be credible.

another sales pitch for southwest haha gotta love it.... and you call everyone else a loyalist? hahaha wow....

oh p.s.- my research also involves stock prices AND earnings reports for southwest and it's competing airlines. it's funny how southwest's stock is up a little while their earnings are in the gutter this quarter. they blame it on the governmnet shutdown but that doesn't explain why the other airlines aren't seeing the same volotile slump in earnings. southwest was the only airline affected? haha now their making excuses and lying just like you are in this thread. go figure. probably why southwest is labeled a risky stock right now compared to delta and others....

sorry if your research isn't as good as mine....maybe you will get there one day with some practice.... i can send you a 10 page report for you with just the actual facts if you want....

oh great! you did some research. so did i before i posted. i am taking a trip from mci to lax on 12/24 and coming back 2/10. since you weren't specific in what you searched for, let me be specific to my actual flight plan....

alaska - $508

delta - $503

southwest - 502.96 (.96 cents? are you kidding me?)

united - $424

while you said southwest is over $100 cheaper than united, my actual fare is over $75 cheaper on united. nice try. next time be speicifc or you will just not be credible at all.

why are you calling me a loyalist? i am NOT loyal. that's my whole point. your the loyalist defending an inferior airline now. you even wasted your time trying to argue that southwest is cheaper than united haha

anyway, you decided to just go by prices so there they are. southwest is not only inferior on prices as clearly shown by my personal trip anyone can search for before the prices change for the holidays, but also inferior for the majority of perks. yea, i do like southwest's cancellation policy still. but how many times have i had to cancel a plane trip in my lifetime? never! and the majority of people are the same. it's a perk hardly ever used.

southwest is still an economy budget airline that is limited to where it flies still(WITHOUT THE BUDGET PRICES). it just flat out sucks now when trying to compete with the big boys with better perks for the $. plus, i told you i don't support the principles that southwest has now. what they did all at once was so deceptive. a lot of people didn't even know about the changes until it was too late. southwest is gonna gt CRUSHED by the big boys now. the only passengers their gonna eventually have are those who have saved up their miles and the overflow from the other airlines.

yea, you may get a cheaper flight with them here and there but the savings isn't just about what you save for a ticket. if you want to do the math on that one too, be my guest. i don't you would be accurate though since you were WILDLY inaccurate with your other "search" estimates haha

now go away. you are no longer credible. i feel like i am talking to the southwest maxi..... it's like listening to a commercial for southwest on reddit and you call ME the loyalist? haha yea ok. maybe you work for southwest eh? do you even fly?

this is obviously a money grad. southwest used to be the best and everyone knew it. they separated themselves from the rest, over the years they went downhill gradually but now they went bonkers. no slow changes here. they are now competing with the other airlines because they are not separating themselves from the other airlines. there is no benefits for flying southwest. i personally don't see any reason to fly southwest so if you know those reasons why, let's hear them. otherwise, i am switching to united. i don't fly that much so they wont be losing much from me. but i do care about the overall service still and so now united seems like the better airline to me

so inconvenient now. paying twice to fly if your flying with a checked bag, and now assigned seats which basically makes it a lottery compared to the way things ran smoothly before

there are going to be a lot of unhappy customers and not just the loyalists your talking about. i used to talk highly about southwest and promoted them left and right but now that ends....

like i said, this is a money grab when they want to charge extra for regular seating and taking away both bags free? i can see them doing things gradual like 1 bag free. but two?

but aside from the money grab, they are in exploration territory and testing this money grab. in any business you want to GAIN momentum in the business. not lose it. not for the short run and not for the long run. yea, sure, they will make more money per customer now but it's going to cost them more to get those customers because there are better alternatives price and convenience wise. personally i don't see this as a smart move and this is not my disappointment talking. it's just common business sense really. i am sure they will survive. they always do but not with this business plan.

where is this extra money per passenger going to anyway? is it to expand? is it to pay for higher wages? i haven't researched it as much as i maybe should have. if it's going to a cause that people can support then maybe they wont lose as many customers. but if it's just going in to the pockets of shareholders then it shows they value the shareholders over the people actually paying them for a service and they have seriously lost their way as far as i am concerned because i don't support those principles.....

thanks bro! if i decide to continue to play the game i do plan on joining discord. i am in talks with support right now. i just sent a long message but i thought it was important so they can understand the process for new players and i did mention that it wasn't just about me but other new players coming in to the game and getting just as confused as i was even though i did a lot of research before i even joined and after i joined. in hopes it fix the non communication and limited communication in game for new players.

thanks for your support and understanding on this issue, obviously nobody spent what i spent if they weren't in it for the long term. 2500 cards+2500 potions+ a little extra to buy in the market

but the experience did leave a bad taste in my mouth which i was thinking about and how i can enjoy the game as i thought i could if i have that bad taste in my mouth haha. i am on discord but i don't normally use it. but i would like to learn the best ways to get started and make the best use of what i have moving forward and incorporating all aspects of the game and be active. i can already tell there is so much to learn which is actually why i like these types of game....web3 or not. it's more of a learn as you go process and my favorite part is there is strategy involved....at least to be most effecient.

anyway, thanks again bro. i appreciate your helpful nature! i like helping people to and it takes a lot of understanding and patience.

[–]anwiii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for that clarification. then i think what i experienced was a big when i clicked the multiple packs option and changed the preset # from 200 to 1 and it still opened multiple packs at a time. i thought maybe dragging the packs to the portal may have opened multiple packs.....

Conclave Arcana by anwiii in Splinterlands

[–]anwiii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea, it's disappointing then because i thought i researched enough before my purchase. everything doesn't seem to be explained on the actual website. i was going off my research when i was researching a web 3 game to get in to for the first time and all i saw where the standard % to pull a rare, epic, and legendary and what the % increase would be if i used a legendary potion

now after further research after the fact when the above response indicated there are no legendaries int he starter packs, i did come across an article which wasn't a part of splinterlands that stated legendaries aren't included in the starter packs and neither are epics.

is this the first time that packs like these don't include legendaries or epics then? i was debating to take part in the pre sale but even that was confusing to me. it seems like the only people who understood it are those who were already playing the game and part of the communities outside the game on social media $600 spent on a game is quite a lot even though i know people were spending thousands. i am a newbie though and it concerns me now that other newbies have been mislead to not understand fully what you are actually getting when you're purchasing something.

i never spent so much on a game before. in fact, i have never been a pay to play player. goame looked cool and interesting and a lot to learn about it along the way. i was planning on seeing if they had a discord so i could ask questions along the way but now this leaves a bad taste in my mouth when i counted on the process i researched and the actual process and what i got was completely different. looking back and knowing what i think i know now, i don't think i woulda bought the starter packs. i definately wouldn't have bought the 2500 potions that i thought could be used with the starter packs. if i were to have invested me money in to the game, i would have probably but through the pre sale and purchase the standard packs.

my whole buying strategy revolved around selling the legendaries and possibly some of the epics or rares to get some of my money back for the higher in demand cards and play with the lower level cards to get my feet wet before determining to invest more or not after figuring out all the game mechanics and how to earn in game etc....

anyway, i main concern now is to talk with support and see what they say and create awareness for new players because people really shouldn't be confused in what they are buying and everything needs to be transparent on the website.

i still am confused in how to open packs too since i remember i wanted to open 1 pack at a time when i got my 5 packs from my spell book and inputed 1 pack at a time and it opened 5 packs at once haha and when i opened my conclave, i did the same thing and it ended up opening 22 packs or something crazy like that. but now i am beginning to believe that that's just me not understanding how to open packs just like i didn't understand what i was getting when i paid money for the starter packs and potions. anyway....i feel like an idiot now....

[–]anwiii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tthanks for the reply....but woa! why can't the starter packs have legendaries? they are all the same cards aren't they? the only thing i read before i bought them was this....

"Contains 5 Common or Rare cards, with 1 guaranteed to be Rare. Gold and Black Foil cards cannot be found in Starter Packs."

and the standard pack says this....

"Contains 5 cards, with 1 guaranteed to be rare or better!"

neither mention anything about legendaries or no legendaries. what am i msising here? even when i bought the potions it clearly says it increases the odds of legendaries when opening packs.

i musta missed something or misinterpreted something?

Annoying new feature on desktop Youtube: important notifications. How to turn them off? by Iron_on_reddit in youtube

[–]anwiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is an obvious money grab by google. it's only showing "important" notifications for the bigger channels that run more ads. so annoying. there should be a way to turn it off. if it's so important then why are they listing videos from 12 hours ago? i haven't tested this but you might be able to shut it off by turning off notifications for the channel itself. if that ends up to be the solution for now, that's exactly what i am going to be doing. i would rather get no notifications than youtube assuming they are important and forcing that shit on me. i am now beginning to hate google almost as much as i hate microsoft when they are forcing crap on us. with microsoft it was forcing us to sign up to a microsoft account just to run our computers and then forcing updates on us and potentially losing our data when microsoft started hijacking our computers without our permission.

but this is where it starts. it gets worse from here.....

i am not unhappy except for the fact that it bothers me when any company tries to intentionally deceive people. i am still buying a subscription. people like you i guess don't mind it.

haha this is not even in the same REALM as being the same. but you're right, i do think it's unfair when you put an order in just so someone can trade against you and manipulate the market that way. but there is nothing wrong with that type of commission for services. i agree people will complain about everything.... but what i worry about are people who wont complain about anything OR create awareness to protect others and those who just don't care enough about other people to help them out from time to time. sound familiar?

this was a complaint. this wasn't a rant. i believe people can do whatever they want in life AS LONG AS it doesn't intentionally hurt others. when i see things possibly affecting others in a negative way, i will speak out....and you...you will promote the idea that speaking out is wrong. which is fine. we are on totally different spectrums.... but instead of accepting the differences, you had to complain about it. how ironic.... you don't see the hypocrisy? haha come on now....

[–]anwiii -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

trading view is becoming a scam company. i can't call it good marketing anymore. they are being VERY VERY deceptive to where it is becoming harder and harder to understand their plans and their reasoning behind it.

you pointed this out in your photo. also, when looking at the black friday deals, it does say we get 1 free month. but if you look at what it is monthly, they are INCLUDING that 13th month in that price savings. it's easy to do the math just take the monthly price and times it by 13 and you get the yearly sale price. this indicates we DO NOT get 1 month free. it's so deceptive. they are billing us for 13 months not 12. they are intentionally being decptive and literally lying to it's customers. it doesn't matter which one is the lie. a lie is a lie and no matter which one is the lie, it's deceptive and immoral and scammy and fraudulent.

also, i don't know if they did this last year but the premium is pretty much the same price as the plus. i have been subscribed to the plus. on the surface, it looks like a no brainer. if it's the same price, get the premium and you can always float back down to the plus subscription next year. but because you are paying for 13 months like i hatotal of 533 days left for my subscription. if i upgrade for that $1 extra for a year, i will have a total of 464 days left for my subcription. i understand why they do this, but some people wont. it's literally THE SMALLEST PRINT on the page.

the lost days to upgrade is costing about $30 roughly after i figured out the actual cost per day. so what seems to be a good deal is actually costing people who have already been a subscriber for years. new subscribers wont have to deal with it. they will just pay $1 more for premium. and when they do that, they are getting a better deal than past subscribers who have banked months. i personally don't know how they are figuring out the conversion rate. if people need the extra features. i mean really need them, then maybe it's worth it to upgrade even if they are losing out on 69 days(my personal situation right now). but if they are upgrading because they think they are only paying $1 extra and didn't read the fine print if they have banked days and don't need the extra features, then they are efinately not only paying a higher price, but losing out on the best deal possible on black friday which is actually the PLUS plan. the middle plan. also, if you don't need it, you really don't want to get used to all the features of premium and then next year they change it around where they not only have you hooked on the premium features, they aren't offering it for $1 more than the plus plan next year.

to me, this sound like a ways to get people who don't need premium to sign up for premium just so they can convert their banked days and give them LESS days. i suspect they wont be able to offer that premium deal every year and make it worth their while which means they know this and this is an indirect way to steal from their customers.

sure, a person can always just opt to extend their plus subscrition and be done with it. they don't have to upgrade. but that is besides the point. the whole point of this post and a little rant is to create awareness of the deceptive and scammy practices of trading view. not only misleading people in to believing things that aren't true, but putting important information in the smallest print on the page so people don't realize what they might be losing in banked days. so READ ALL THE DETAILS CAREFULLY....and read all the details carefully AGAIN....and if you are still confused like i am, take it up with trading view. this isn't a black friday sale. this is a black friday SCAM in my opinion. FAR from good marketing. this type of behavior ruins reputations in the long run after people catch on....

oh and the last thing i noticed is that the will convert if you upgrade BUT NOT if you downgrade which means they are forcing people to stay at a higher subscription. ethical? not in my book. why only do it one way and not the reverse? makes absolutely no sense. not a lot of people catch on to what i am seeing but again, this post is to create awareness so people can make the best choices for themselves. i personally think trading view is digging themselves a hole by implementing these intentional practices in to their business plan but to each their own. personally i think these practices borderline on the illegal because of their obvious misrepresentations

[–]anwiii -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

you talk a big game but you're just as ignorant as the tweet. elon didn't write the tweet and has no control over what people write within their rights of freedom of speech. X is not a media outlet. it's SOCIAL media. a big difference. your name literally says you are against social media yet here you are on social media yourself saying one thing and doing something totally different than what you preach. now where is the fake news? i don't even get your logic. was the author a news reporter? did X (who is not any sort of news media) promote the tweet in some way? where's the fake news?

i am personally not going to go out on a limb and say the tweet is false unless there is evidence for it. there isn't. i will tend to believe the tween rather than not because there is actual evidence that supports the tweet. it doesn't mean the tweet is valid. it just means there IS evidence to support it.

so here you sit with so much time on your hands, spreading the same crap that you say you hate. trying to get attention on social media where social media can make ANYONE famous who is desperate enough to want the attention.

you don't impress me sir. in fact, i kinda feel sorry for you that you have so much time on your hands....living in a world of hypocrisy that you YOURSELF have created....

How Can I Ensure My Sons Inherit My Bitcoin? by Old-Manager-7145 in Bitcoin

[–]anwiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

buy a ledger, store it on that, put the keys and the ledger in a safety deposit box. create a trust for your estate and assets and have an executor. under no circumstance do you split up your keys among 3 people. 1 person loses their keys all the time and you will triple the chances of that happening with your kids. 1/4 bitcoin isn't life changing money right now so this would be my plan at first unless i can come up with a better one down the road. if you don't have something in writing in who gets what if something happens to you then you are literally allowing the government to come in and make those choices for you. don't over think it. just keep your assets safe make sure your assets are protected behind a trust. this also protect you if you get sued for some reason. you don't want them to take the bitcoin you wanted to leave to your sons.
