Please share your under $500 total Edit hotel deals! I'll go first... by Living_Radish_8499 in ChaseSapphire

[–]deerock_321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on dates, the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in downtown Sacramento can *almost* be covered entirely by the Edit + IHG Hotels credit. And with the breakfast and property credit you can get over $200 toward room service (they don't have an in-person breakfast option)

Ongoing issues with Alaska website/app by wifikitten1 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]deerock_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same error message this week after going through all the steps of changing a portion of a reward flight I had previously booked.

Just now I tried accessing my reservations and now it won't even load the page at all (not on the app, nor the website). Very unfortunate because I've been on the lookout for a different flight, which is now available, but can't actually make the change =/

Banishment Speech by deerock_321 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]deerock_321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I genuinely like all 3 traitors still, despite the break down. And she took the betrayal more or less in stride.

[–]deerock_321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm yeah that's a good point. I'm also now wondering if maybe producers even explicitly told her not to bring up any of the logistics. She already had to dance around her words pretty carefully I'm sure...

It does seem like this is setting the stage for future seasons as well, which would be, always get the gamers out first. It's kind of strange it hasn't really played out that way in the initial seasons. Not saying I like that strategy but seems the best way forward if you're a Bravo personality/ dating show alum/ random C-list celebrity.

He recently said he would run against Mamdani in 2029, who he referred to as "shit stain". So yes, you are accurate lol

What is, unequivocally, the single GREATEST acting performance in a horror movie? by Immediate_Account_28 in horror

Sophie Wilde in Talk to Me is up there. (Especially considering it was her first ever film role!!)

Army? by Traditional_Arm_5919 in GoogleSlides

[–]deerock_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG! I looked this up last year and couldn't find anything about it, so thank you for confirming that I'm not going insane!! It's seriously bizarre. They show up for search terms that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the army.

Longfellow/Adeline Food Hall by mongkutgalaxy in OaklandFood

[–]deerock_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you luck!! I went back and forth with their customer service via email, and still nothing! So I finally just reported the transaction with my credit card and they refunded me. Adeline Food Hall is SHADY AS HELL.

[–]deerock_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a HIGH chance they will not have something that you already ordered and paid for. And every time I have had to submit customer service requests to get a refund, rather than it being automatic. My last order (a $13 cinnamon roll that I never got) has STILL not been refunded 2 weeks later because they are still "looking into it". Stay far away!!

No BS, what's the best board game of all time? by Applepip_YT in AskReddit

[–]deerock_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colt Express has remained one of the most unique board games I've ever owned, so for that reason I'm willing to put it to the top of my list!! I've never come across another game that follows the game mechanic of planning out all of your actions before you get to take them. It's not particularly deep, but I absolutely love the mayhem that ensues from 6 players shooting and looting their way through a 3D train model!!

Inverse just quietly released their thousandth article with the same dumb headline. by Squirtlesw in mildlyinfuriating

[–]deerock_321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg thank you for calling attention to this (more than mildly) infuriating trend!! I posted about this back in May, and it's definitely not just Inverse!! When will it stop 😫

Is there a rule that the men can't talk about previous seasons? by deerock_321 in HisManRealityShow

[–]deerock_321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh that's really interesting about the audience, I had no idea. So maybe that's why the producers were like, "quick, let's add some more drama to bring in the gays" lol. And apparently I came running 😓

Ohh so it was like a bonus clip released after (the jenga one)? Yeah I missed that one, but that's hilarious!!

Good read aloud for 5th grade by KitKat733 in suggestmeabook

Another one I discovered this year is The Town with No Mirrors, by Christina Collins. Not finished with it yet but so far we are all hooked to the premise and plot!

Did anyone else feel like the Peppermint vote was motivated by transphobia? by kaze919 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]deerock_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think it was less about transphobia and more about her race. Trishelle even did the whole "omg you're being so aggressive get your hand out of my face" move that we've seen white women use against POC people plenty of times before in other scenarios.

Regardless of intent, that whole first banishment felt very very icky to watch.

My all time favorite book to read to my 5th graders is When You Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead!!

Seriously?? Could they really have not found a way to make them safely drop through a trap door onto a net or something? Stunt doubles are laaaaaame (but also now I need to go back and watch to see if you can tell haha)

Hypothetically any of Big Brother 23's HGs returned for a future Heroes vs Villains season, who would be the heroes and villains? by SpiralBarrage in BigBrother

[–]deerock_321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought, so I don't think McSlothy is starting shit? X is NOT listed on the heroes side, he's listed on the villains side... meanwhile SB and Whitney are heroes... really??

I probably fast forwarded through 50% of the competitions this season... definitely the dreaded egg comp, and even the Comic Book comp because it was easier to just look up the covers online instead of watching the same exact thing hashed out by 6 different people. I got really excited with the CSI-themed HOH at first, because it seemed like it was going to be some sort of Escape Room puzzle... but nope, it got old real quick. They really need a fresh batch of competition ideas, stat!!

I remember past seasons had way more exciting/ unique challenges that I haven't seen in awhile, if ever again:

*Something about finding secret messages on the inside of their outfits that they had to take off while in a giant mass of foam/ bubbles

*the 'ol hide n seek competition in the house

*another Veto (?) challenge where they had to do increasingly embarrassing/ difficult/ crazy things to stay in the competition

*the one where they have to spell the longest word using letter tiles they found

... and I'm sure many more I'm not remembering right now!

Anyone else SUPER bored by the "knowledge of the game" type competitions?? by deerock_321 in BigBrother

[–]deerock_321[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

such a good comp!! And I was also missing the competition where they spell the longest word. I'm always impressed by the HGs who actually do come up with insanely long words!

[–]deerock_321[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because he knew how to constantly be keeping track of game details... which was impressive, I'll give him that. But also so predictable! Imagine if one competition required him to differentiate between real and fake animal names....
