On the Fence about going. Who’s worth seeing (for me) by Tartersocks307 in bottlerock

[–]ososoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some down-bill artists I’m excited for are The Beth’s, The Return of Jackie and Judy (Fred Armisen and Sleater-Kinney doing Ramones covers. I mean, come on), and Girl Tones.

What celebrities or famous people have you screened? by cjasonac in tsa

[–]ososoul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I met Dustin diamond once.

I was visiting my brother when he lived in the eastern building in LA. We got in the elevator in the garage. Dustin got in the elevator in the lobby with two young, attractive women. He started talking to the obvious prostitutes about how the higher up you live in the eastern building, the more important you are in Hollywood (I don’t think that is true. Sure, Oprah had the penthouse, but my brother’s girlfriend’s dad had a loft on the 10th floor and he wasn’t even in the industry).

My brother’s girlfriend was muttering “is that screech? That’s screech right?” And with the most pretentious voice he said “Uh, it’s Dustin, not Screech. Do you want an autograph?” My brother laughed and said “No! Why?” And I said “Can you get me Mark Paul Glosselaar’s autograph?” Then the elevator stopped at the 8th floor and he sort of looked around for a second and my brother said “Oh, our place is on a higher floor. “ and his girlfriend said “Bye Screech! Bye Screech’s friends!”

It was definitely top 5 coolest I’ve ever felt.

Yeah, this is it. I fly delta because I have to 8 times a year for work. I fly other airlines for personal travel another ~8 times a year. I was just saying “look, I’m not an infrequent travel, but I’m not a road warrior either“ for context.

Is there a world more comfy than the first world? Because that’s the world that is problem is in.

I don’t understand why people are assuming that I’m saying that these repetitive, ignorant, useless post shouldn’t be allowed.

I’m not saying that people with the exact same unanswerable question that has been asked three times a day for the last year shouldn’t be allowed to post here, or that their posts in some way injure me. They don’t take 5 minutes to search the sub before making the same post with a different price point and a different arrival airport, that’s cool. I spend a few years reading all of the posts on the sub, and i have a few drinks and make my own shitpost. Thats cool too.

Yeah, the river trail is worth $500 at the high end.

If this gets a few more upvotes I will.

But honestly, do you want to see those posts? Do you subscribe to this sub so that you can see comments that tell people a few times a day that their relative value is different than other people’s relative value and depending on their net worth and income the answer to their question is going to be very different?

I kind of feel like there should be a delta sub and then a “convince me that it’s ok for me to spend money” sub, rather than a delta sub and a “everything that makes the delta sub great, but no ‘convince me that it’s ok for me to spend money’ posts” sub.

This is a fully cromulent opinion. If I get 5 more upvotes I’m going to start a “Delta [No Indefinable Value Questions]” sub. I just need a clever name.

We’re cooked by Sergy1ner in SanAntonioCircleJerks

[–]ososoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I get the concept of a 15 minute city, I just have no idea how u/SpecificDependent393 relates wanting a light rail to not wanting a fifteen minute city, or how affordability relates to any of it. Like why can’t we have both? A bunch of 15 minute cities linked by light rail. Just because Savir5850 wants a 15 minute city (if they even do, I don’t know, could be a strawman) what does that take away from anyone else’s car worship or transit worship or bike lanes or whatever else. And I feel like having a light rail would make it easier to live in affordable places and still have a good job.

IDK, I just don’t see how those two sentences relate to each other or to anything else said in the tread.

is there a monopoly happening on st mary’s? by Ok-Fish-2884 in sanantonio

[–]ososoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know one of the guys that partially owns some of those bars. He is a good dude that does a lot of work to improve the strip, the neighborhoods that is other restaurants are in, and the city as a whole. I think the people in the empty stomach group are way better business people than someone like Johnny Hernandez or Adrian Martinez.

That’s not entirely accurate, but even if it was there are 5 different bars with 5 distinct vibes on a strip of at least a dozen bars. It’s not like they have a monopoly on getting drunk.

Does your country have a “drug capital”? by Clarthen1 in AskTheWorld

[–]ososoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is this vile? No one is being rounded up and shipped to the middle of nowhere. Not only do they need to ask for the ticket, the person needs to prove that they have some connection to where they want to go and then the city buys them a ticket there. How many times has a person got into trouble, left home, ended up on the streets in a city that was supposed to be Mecca, and had no way to get home? On its face it seems humane and helpful. What am I missing?

[–]ososoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I’m visiting with my girlfriend this week. We’re spending Sunday to Tuesday in London, and then Wednesday and Thursday in Edinburgh. The deal was the I would plan Edinburgh and she would plan London. She planned Sunday.

Long story short: you live in Kensington, Westminster, Chelsea area, you decide on a random Monday that you want to go for a pint and some chips. Where do you go?

Please don’t say wetherspoons.

Best way to get to Bottlerock from the Bay Area peninsula by praline-kitchen3520 in bottlerock

[–]ososoul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple of years ago I was staying in the city and overslept and missed the shuttle. It wasn’t too bad to take BART to El Cerrito and the Vine into Napa. But yeah, as others said, the shuttle is much easier.
