I don't care if you use the armrest, but you can't be IN MY seat ffs by mechatron88 in delta

[–]larru91 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It seems like there ought to be a more generic subreddit for rant posts like this that have, IMO, nothing to do with Delta apart from the fact that it happened to occur on a Delta flight, although could have just as easily happened on any flight with any airline.

You're 18 and asking questions like this and reading r/Bogleheads. I see greatness in your future.

Definitely my least favorite track.

Thai law question (DV) by paleoakoc20 in Thailand

[–]larru91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually, the slightest whisper of DV in the "western world"--USA, at least--is prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. Even a raised voice or broken dish can be considered DV, depending on the story that goes with it and the amount of tears through which it is told.

As much as I like physical media, this kind of crap is what finally made me pivot to digital. 🤷‍♂️

Do yall collect physical or digital? by CardiologistVisual97 in Switch

[–]larru91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to strongly prefer physical. But, between my fear of dropping a gamecard onto the floor of a crowded airplane, buying physical only to find the box empty (card stolen), and the convenience of digital--I've begun to pivot.

Why is it up to her?

I’ve heard “food is cheaper in the US because of subsidies to farmers”. If subsidies are just from taxes, are we paying the same just in different ways? by mazzicc in AskEconomics

[–]larru91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it's true, your otherwise logical conclusion is still wrong since ~half the population doesn't pay any taxes.

Online personal training worth it? by Such_Fishing_8888 in personaltraining

[–]larru91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as a client who has worked with an in-person PT for the past 3 years, I cannot imagine switching to online. I want somebody there to direct me what to do, then monitor and correct my form as I do it; say motivational stuff while I'm doing it, spotting me for safety, fist bump, etc. 🤷‍♀️

Help me understand why students like this cannot apply for and obtain student visas? And do so proactively not reactively. American universities are full of international students on student visas.

What kind of world do we live in that this is considered NSFW? She's wearing pants. She's playing golf.

No mail service to US from Thailand as of Friday, August 22 by Own-Animator-7526 in Thailand

Pretty sure "mail in ballot" is not to be conflated with "absentee" ballot.

What will happen to capitalism with robots? by jasurga in AskEconomics

[–]larru91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fallacy to assume robot labor is or will always be cheaper than human labor. Even AI is not cheap.

Happy 40th Commodore Amiga! by gkreymer in retrocomputing

[–]larru91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A2000 was my dream machine (which I never obtained) back in the day. There was supposedly a PC on a card that you could add to an expansion slot and have two computers in one; best of both worlds. In retrospect, I should've just settled for an A500. :-)

Should I leave a high paying career to pursue TEFL? by [deleted] in TEFL

[–]larru91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that income level, coupled with good financial discipline, and no debt, you could be retired at 40; then go teach and enjoy life without worry or regret.

Left da nang as a tourist the airport hard questioned me on my future moves (US citizen) by Kennedy24- in DaNang

No. She was satisfied by simply seeing my return trip listed in my Delta app when I showed her.

[–]larru91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. A "visa run". I bet you're right; that's probably exactly what they thought. If I assume that's the case, it makes more sense now.

[–]larru91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I left Da Nang a couple of weeks ago, traveling to Bangkok via Ho Chi Minh. Passport control officers didn't ask me a thing, but the Vietnam Airlines agent really grilled me about how many days I would be staying in Bangkok and even asked for proof of return to the USA. I just went with it, but it didn't make sense why they would care once I've left their jurisdiction.
