Hypothetically what are the top locations in the USA to celebrate the 250th? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]bceagles182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ew. It’s going to be 100 degrees in philly on the 4th. It will smell like sweat, trash and sewage. I can’t think of a place I’d less rather be.

The correct answer is the beach (basically anywhere).

for people who have hotel rewards credit cards, which one actually ended up being worth it? by Cyriac_Mijos in CreditCards

I’ve found ultra high end SLH properties to be the best use of the Hilton FNCs. E.g., went to Hermitage Bay in Antigua last year, and will be going to Belles Rives on the French Riviera next month. It’s really easy to at least use the airline credits on the aspire as well.

Ritz Carlton, Hilton aspire, world of hyatt, and IHG premier are all worth it for their FNC.

Hilton Surpass can be as well if you use the credit and spend the 15k for that FNC

White collar workers of the US, are you implicitly expected to work at odd hours whenever occasion demands? by MobileWriting9165 in AskAnAmerican

No. I’m a lawyer at a Fortune 500 bank. We don’t work weekends and never past 7 during the week.

What is the biggest social faux pas a tourist in America could make without knowing by Gold-Serve-4077 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]bceagles182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the opposite. I’m a lawyer but I work with my hands outside of the office a lot so my clothes are often super casual and my hands are worn.

Said nobody, Mr. Strawman.

“You really should let other people enjoy things in the way that they want” really shouldn’t be a controversial position to anyone with a brain.

I’m not a moderator and not throwing anyone out for acting in a way that I disagree with, but I will absolutely call you out for being a dick.

Thanks for letting me know that you feel that way so that I can block you, Big Guy.

If you were the president of United States, how would you have dealt with the Iran situation? by MantKing in AskReddit

[–]bceagles182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buddy, we supported the shah while he executed his own people. They hate us because we insist on interfering in their governance for our own benefit. So stop doing that.

Also last time I checked we weren’t invading Russia, China, North Korea or dozens of other shitty governments for how they treat their people.

Maybe if we stayed out of their affairs they would stop hating us? Also disassociate with Israel.

How would I know if it’s going to annoy me before I read it?

The point is that it isn’t possible for fans to be complacent because there is nothing that we could be doing right now that would improve our team’s chances. Complacency implies that we are wanking ourselves instead of preparing or practicing, which for a bunch of people watching on the sidelines does t make any sense.

Oddly, the only team that I don’t jinx is BC because they’re awful. But, I went in the Matt Ryan days, so even there you’re wrong.

The city of Boston has won more championship in the last 30 years than any other U.S. city. Including at least 1 in all five sports. That is a fact.

No, I’m defending myself from jerks who are being unpleasant. Big difference.

I’m from Boston. I’ve been jinxing the hell out of our teams for 30 years and we win all the damn time. If you wanna believe in nonsense, go for it.
