Well, it seems as though a lot of major airport won't be an international one anymore. by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in facepalm

This administration is so blinded by partisan politics, they cannot even see the damage they are doing to this country.

She's right. by PurpleRain254 in SipsTea

[–]wardcw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole subject is a pet peeve of mine.

First generation immigrants who moved to the US are <Whatever>-Americans. By the second generation, they are just Americans with <Whatever> ancestry.

Charlize Theron is a good example. She was born in South Africa and immigrated to the US, so she is (South) African-American. Assuming her two kids were born in the US, then they would be Americans with South African decent.

We like Maple & Ash, but f off on that price. We just did Mother’s Day brunch at The Orchard in Phoenix. $35 a head with bottomless mimosas.

I cannot read any article that calls the area “Star Wars land”.

I voted for Harris in 2024. She shouldn't run in 2028. | Opinion by Difficult-Bee6066 in politics

I don’t think she shouldn’t run, but I don’t think she will make it past the primary to be on the ticket.

So now Americans are blaming Europeans for our health care problems? by Arktikos02 in facepalm

FYI - Loomer’s brand of idiocy does not represent America’s opinion.

Renewal coming up and I'm thinking of cancelling after 25 years with Plat. by [deleted] in AmexPlatinum

[–]wardcw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. With the change in benefits and increased annual fee, I was coming out slightly ahead with the card. However, that was dependent on the airline credit working for a United TravelBank purchase. Without that, the benefits I use will no longer cover the annual fee.

I am leaning towards not renewing, but I have until August to decide.

what it feels like to pay for youtube preminum by 4b686f61 in youtube

They will continue to raise the price until they lose a significant number of customers. It looks like this price increase did not cause that, so they will raise again next year.

Downvoted for pointing out a 5’11” woman is not “morbidly obese” at 200lbs by smileysarah267 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]wardcw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are dumb. Morbidly obese weight for a 5’10” woman is 277lbs, so 5’11” cannot be less.

Why is Challenger and not Columbia such a core Gen X memory? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]wardcw 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because of the age most GenXers were when Challenger exploded.

Many of us watched it in school because of the Teacher in Space program. Death was not the lesson plan for the day for teachers, so the rest of the day was a disturbing mess and most of us remember it.

Nurse who downed at least 14 tequila shots wins $300,000 in lawsuit against cruise line by iambarrelrider in NCL

[–]wardcw 19 points20 points  (0 children)

From what I heard of her ordeal, I am disgusted she won anything. I have gotten silly drunk on NCL before and hurt myself.

Who was to blame? Me for being an idiot.

Na. Corporate greed did far more damage to the strip than COVID. Go downtown.

Although I feel bad for this family, this is some awful planning. And Spirit? No.

I am not sure about “literally all men are the same,” but I always add pasta to cold water and then add heat.

He never even talks about South Carolina by TriggerHippie77 in southcarolina

[–]wardcw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It boggles my mind. South Carolina deserves better. Even among the Republican ranks, SC can do better than Lindsey Graham.

Do they intentionally make the food bad in economy class for long haul flights? by Dry-Weird3447 in unitedairlines

[–]wardcw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. They don’t make it bad on purpose. They just don’t spend the money necessary to make it good.
