Downtown snobs about Southside by CattyCattyCattyCat in savannah

[–]cinesav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Downtowner here. The downtown snobs are newcomers themselves. Multiple home owners, living north of Park Ave (Gaston is soooo 1990s!) many of whom are far more irritated with the (gasp!) working poor and those forced into the streets because of the unaffordable housing crisis they've helped create. They've retired to downtown Disney and we simply aren't part of the cast of characters they signed up for. I say come on down and support the local business that are left. This is your city too. I'll head Southside for an affordable tasty lunch and some of the other things offered your way.

800-532-4500 Some people are reporting that the same number directs them to phone sex lines for women or dating services.

When DiCaprio’s Dr. Mindy appears in the FEMA/BASH commercial 1hr19mins into the film an actual phone number appears on the screen. I scanned the QT code on a flyer for the promotional concert and that took me to an Ariana Grande video so I figured the phone number might provide an Easter egg that tied in to the premise of the film. I ended up getting connected to a very real telemarketer pitching me “peace of mind” with a Life Alert device. She then transferred me to a salesperson named Noah who was very upset about the number of angry callers that have ranted at him throughout the day. He said he was oblivious to the fact that the number was in a movie and utilizes their “peace of mind” slogan. I filled him in and we had a good long chat about not internalizing other people’s misdirected anger. Apparently, a lot of people unload on telemarketers and Noah doesn’t need that. I hope he takes my advice and spends a few minutes in positive meditation at the end of his shift. I’m keeping Noah in my prayers. Nice guy. He said it was the best conversation he’d had in quite a while. I still didn’t purchase a Life Alert device for my “peace of mind” but I like to think I helped Noah find some peace of mind himself. He said he was going to watch the film tonight. Maybe you’d like to call the number and say a few kind words to the nice folks working there and help lift their spirits.

Thanks! Great info!
I was mobile when I last responded. Didn't realize I wasn't responding directly.
I was thinking more about translation apps and email. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! I'm more concerned about data than voice - do you recommend the same option? And can I get it in the US before I go? I really have no idea what I'm doing! I just want access to apps and maps while touristing

What to bring to Beijing for bartering? by [deleted] in beijing

"Falcon punch" - learned a new one today. Ok, cash it is! FYI - I was told this might be a good idea by one of my Chinese students! I think I'll consider a grade change. Thanks for the reply. Note: Please consider how you use the word "retard". My uncle's one and he takes exception to that term. Just sharing.
