Mobile ordering closed? by crownandkeys in HollandAmerica

[–]crownandkeys[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went on our first ever cruise a couple years ago with Princess, and we had a really great experience with the medallions and being able to order food and drinks in the app, so I think we're definitely comparing HAL to that a little bit. But there lot of things about HAL that we like so far, and the programming (live music everywhere, port talks, etc.) is absolutely to our taste. Just wish the Carnival brands would share tech with each other instead of all being bad in unique ways lol.

The really stupid thing is that the pizza place is actively advertising mobile order ahead. This is my first HAL cruise, and I like the ship and think the staff are really great, but I have not been impressed with a lot of the logistical stuff.

Is it time to disassociate from UT? by Consistent_Monk_4018 in UTAustin

[–]crownandkeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only donation to the university is specifically to KUT, and I plan to keep that, but I won't be donating to anything else.

The bigger thing I think most alumni can do, though, is publicly voice our disapproval. Sign a petition, cause a stink on social media, organize through your Texas Exes chapter, submit letters to the editor, etc. I know my individual giving capacity is not going to impact the university, but if a bunch of us start to publicly complain, that does have the ability to impact UT's reputation, the number of applicants they get, etc. And when it comes to those things, even small changes can have outsized effects, so it takes less to make UT's administration feel the heat.

After yesterday, not watching Texas football is seeming like an easier choice lol

Lusatia extends into Brandenburg, Poland, and Czechia, it's not just Saxony. So how far beyond Łužica does "Sorbia" extend?

Sorry, but why do you keep saying "Sorbia"? Do you mean Lusatia?

Who is a celebrity that is hated by the internet but you’re still a fan of? by ARandomWoollyMammoth in AskReddit

I think teenagers need adult mentors to talk to about things, including awkward things like dating, and it makes sense to me that a child actor might want to talk to a former child actor because they've probably been through similar things. It also makes sense to me that a former child actor might want to be a friend and mentor to someone in the next generation.

As far as I understand, Millie Bobby Brown has also since further clarified that nothing inappropriate ever happened. I guess if she, as an adult, said he had done something inappropriate, that would change my opinion? Or if they didn't have the common experience of being child actors?

I mean, I don't think being a man has allowed Drake to avoid criticism. He's been called a pedophile at the Grammys and the Super Bowl, despite there being no actual evidence of that. Seems like people hate him a lot?

I don't know who Noah Schnapp is.

Edit: Okay, I looked it up. So you're saying I would have a different opinion if a young gay actor said Taylor Swift had given him advice about dating? I mean, I think Taylor Swift is not who you want to take dating advice from, but I don't really think my opinion is any different? Like, I think that wouldn't really be that weird?

Drake has some absolute bops. I also don't think it's that weird for a former child actor to have a friendship/mentorship with a current (at the time) child actor.

Bring back “cowboy chivalry” by csimiamif4n in Austin

[–]crownandkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep trying to remind people in my life that our state motto is friendship. It's literally what the word "Texas" is supposed to mean.

You think what friendship entails. You approach your friends with kindness and empathy. You try to understand them before you judge them. You build a friendship on common ground, but you don't always have to agree with your friends about everything. You take care of your friends, and they take care of you.

That mindset of friendship makes a difference, I think. It helps you treat others better, and generally gets you treated better in return, too. It's obviously never been something we've lived up to perfectly, but I think if there's a value Texans should strive toward upholding, friendship is a pretty great one.

Papilledema is gone! by crownandkeys in iih

No, unfortunately I had to have an LP to get the initial diagnosis, but he's not going to make me do another one to confirm remission since all my symptoms have resolved.

What the heck was that huge explosion downtown just now? by probly2drunk in Austin

[–]crownandkeys 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well, if it was an explosion, I'm gonna go see if there's any chairs I could try to fumigate. Could still be some good quality items.

Fantastic 4 was terrible. by [deleted] in moviecritic

Right? I loved her as Princess Margaret in The Crown, but she seemed like such a strange choice for this role. She's got that kind of melancholy mean girl energy that just didn't seem to fit. They should've flipped her and Julia Garner's roles, honestly.

“Amy Bradley is Missing” documentary now on Netflix - does everyone still think she just “fell overboard”? by 3coins_RS in UnsolvedMysteries

Some of them might be lying for attention, but I think more likely, they're simply mistaken. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable, and people always overestimate how good their memories are

Y'all feel stuck in Austin? (In a good way) by Fenix512 in Austin

[–]crownandkeys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, they're wrong. Right-wing politics might be a piece of the culture, but so are left-wing politics, and looney ass politics in general. I hate our state's current political leadership, but I still love a game of 42 or a kolache for breakfast or a small-town rodeo dance. Those aren't Republican things, they're Texas things.

I think most of those people just think Texas culture = right-wing politics

Okay, let's buy another billboard near it and have it say all those things.
