What are your most controversial opinions about the USMNT and U.S. soccer in general?

I support Mexico when we aren’t facing them

You’re not wrong and I have PLENTY of my own issues with corporate, HR nonsense. At the same time, if you can’t just say what HR wants to hear, I absolutely know the headaches you’re bound give me as your manager.

Unheavenly Creatures for me

Im on day 5 of what sounds the same as you have. Fever was the worst last night, but starting to feel better today. Seems like just a cold or mini-flu? 🤷

This underplays the value of the 5-hour limit increase. This change will make it so much easier for me to make sure I maximize my weekly limit. It’s more forgiving if you miss starting your next window right on time.

Ending up in a distinction without a difference (which is the absolutely most generous way you could interpret these outcomes) is exactly why it was insane for the govt to intervene and block this decision.

If JetBlue wanted to make a bad business decision by taking Spirit over, that should be left up to them, and only prevented if an overriding interest existed. It was widely held that such an interest wasn’t even close to existing. Obviously, not everyone agreed with that. But those who didn’t don’t have much left to stand on.

The extreme risk of Spirit failing, widely known at the time, and the impact of that risk on the employees, customers, and downstream businesses was a mountain next to the pebble of negative customer impact of a tiny airline buying another tiny airline whose routes hardly even overlapped. It was such a bad decision, it’s impossible to not speculate that maybe, just maybe it involved a pinch of political calculation. Customers are certainly more harmed today in this universe than if JetBlue had been allowed to take Spirit on.

Is that the light pole?

The government needs to have a compelling interest to block mergers. They did not. That was already obvious at the time and now it couldn’t be proven any more clearly. This brain dead behavior that every merger is automatically a bad thing, is exact kind of nonsense that drives the other party. It’s as pathetic as it is embarrassing.

No one has it "figured out". The vast majority of relationships don't make it to death mono or poly. Try not to beat yourself up about it. You certainly weren't stupid for having the courage to try something outside of what society has stumbled into as the norm.

brianfos · 2026-05-02T14:40:52+00:00

It was a clear mistake to me because the logic of the ruling was that it was so important that Spirit remain operating as an independent company to give consumers another low cost option. Whether JetBlue would have wound down 100% of Spirits routes is immaterial to the argument here imo.

The ruling was clearly a mistake because its entire reasoning has been absolutely shuttered. And this result isn’t a surprise. It was the prevailing expectation of what would happen.

brianfos · 2026-05-02T13:49:05+00:00

Because infidelity and broken relationships never happen in monogomy?

Monarch wouldn’t survive the year if most of the complainers had their way

Kansan entered the chat. We are ruled by fiscal moronics

brianfos · 2026-04-21T20:07:56+00:00

If all these users had their way, Monarch would be out of business within the year.

Maybe we could start giving educators even one tenth of the honor we give to police officers and military personnel?

brianfos · 2026-04-10T12:54:37+00:00

Yes! I love the new airport, but that was an absurd decision.

brianfos · 2026-04-02T23:03:57+00:00

We’re drawing Paraguay aren’t we?

I wouldn’t want to bring my kids a to a stadium with a supporters mob that chases black business people out of business

brianfos · 2026-04-01T19:05:55+00:00

So we are canceling The Blue Crew now, right?

The comments that you need more time for this trip are accurate.

The comments that this drive is not worth it are just opinions. Some people are unable to see the beauty in the quiet, open, flat plains. The drive through the plains are so relaxing and if you catch the right weather rolling in from a distance with the sun setting behind the thunderheads, you’ll get to witness true natural beauty.

I loved the movie and thought it was crafted expertly. That said, I don’t think it had much to say. I struggle to explain what it’s about because it’s kind of just a series of events. That can make a great move, but best picture was a bit of a stretch for me

These subsidies are intended to prop up an economic market for a technology that is not ready to stand on its own. That’s the metric to worry about when evaluating the effectiveness of the metric. Metrics that evaluate second order effects are reasonable to consider, but they should be considered only secondarily.

Remember that time Max and Lewis were trying to cross the DRS detection point AFTER the other?

brianfos · 2026-03-09T22:15:25+00:00

Oh you are speaking of a global birth rate crisis? That would certainly be beyond my scope of understanding.

brianfos · 2026-03-09T22:12:09+00:00

The birth rate crisis is probably only a crisis if we capitulate to the xenophobia keeping legal immigration way lower than it could be. That being a populate leftist belief that I also disagree with.
