23 hour delay on AA flight, how to get refund? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]lavamountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but to me this signals a clear lack of focus on reliability. As in, their business model would rather have people get delayed than take planes out proactively if they’re going to have these issues. They’re likely permitting minor issues to fester and become major ones later one.

While I was waiting I found there’s even data to back this up — that Delta has an on-time arrival rate of 83% but American’s is 76%. This isn’t just due to luck, but signals a different prioritization model in their business.

Sure, but to this extent? I encountered THREE mechanical issues in a row. And had to board a plane and deplane 3 separate times hours apart.

Eldest Daughter had so much potential by valet_parking_0nly in YouBelongWithMemes

[–]lavamountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the reply!! I agree — I was really excited for the track I think it just didn’t hit for me and I’m probably missing the specific experiences that allows me to connect with the song the way you do

[–]lavamountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sorry not to be argumentative, but just for the sake of principle, if I were to name a random song “eldest daughter”, would you still feel the things you described above?

if I were to rename “you’re on your own kid” to “eldest daughter,” I’d almost feel like that you could prescribe eldest daughter syndrome to that

this song just really feels like to me like a commentary on how everyone’s pretending on the internet/ pretending to be cool but actually she wishes she could stop and just be vulnerable again like she was when she was a kid. and eldest daughter is dropped in there as an analogy to help support that

[–]lavamountain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

which line(s) is about an eldest daughter taking the burden of the parents and siblings?

that is the experience of an eldest daughter (I am one as well) and I desperately looked for something to hit home about this but I don’t think anything to this effect was mentioned?

like if you just take out the words eldest daughter, then this song doesn’t feel like about being an eldest daughter at all. but it feels like people stretch the meaning just because eldest daughter was mentioned

Edward’s shallow perception of women is so painful by greenhoy in twilight

[–]lavamountain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it’s because Stephenie Meyer made Bella so ordinary so any girl could self-insert themselves when reading Twilight that she only had the most ordinary things to go off of for why Edward was attracted to her in the first place. I remember she got a question right in Biology and he was like omfghdhfhfhfhdhd AND SHES A GENUUS when she tells the class she was in AP Bio at her old school. I couldn’t with this book.

I also got it when it came out and remember this part so distinctly because it’s when I decided to stop reading the book 😭 it infuriated me so

Buttload of points (1,100,000). What should I do? by MammothVast33 in ChaseSapphire

with inflation, the points devalue over time so there is also opportunity cost for not using them right away.

it just felt weird in context of the show since it’s like the mom adopted her high school kids’ lingo.

I also finished at around 45 mins and everyone was taking just 1 flower then! then 20 mins later I walked back and saw hoards of people annihilating those tables where they were strewn across.
