I do not give 2 shits about people speaking foreign languages out in the ether for the most part. Having said that, there are 2 instances I can think of that grind my gears.

1. You order an Uber, and the guy who’s driving is on the phone with someone, and is speaking another language with them the whole time. This is more just for the fact that this is shitty customer service for someone who works on tips to an extent. For whatever reason, this seems to only be an issue with foreign speaking people. My guess is maybe they’re talking to family back home? I certainly don’t tip those people who are doing it, but I don’t care enough to call them out on it either.

2. As a poker player, they have rules about speaking English only at the table. This prevents collusion. I will absolutely call people out for English only at the table especially when there is a live hand going on.

Yeah, but the op was talking about worrying about people on the plane stealing from his bag in the overhead bin, not the TSA stealing from it. But yeah, TSA is grimy AF, I always make sure to count my money before and after I put my wallet through the security line. I also wouldn’t trust valuables in a checked bag as well.

1. Buy an EV
2. Jailbreak the EV (good luck w this one)
3. Replace the boring OEM sound that is coming out of the speaker to warn pedestrians to a fucking epic Tie fighter sound.

Good luck and Godspeed.

I’m spoiled. My mom makes jams and cans them, so 9/10 times, her homemade stuff

I mean, they put nets on it now. This advice is outdated. Stupid AI.

I love how Disney would rather shut it down than drop price.

Get a skateboard and go to your local skate park. Walk up to some kids and say how do you do fellow kids? What are we listening to today?

Maybe we can start a change.org petition to get this resolved.

I grew up with a VHS set that was before the 90’s redo, so mine was as close to the original cut as you could get. My son wanted to watch Star Wars for the 1st time the other day. I didn’t want to go to my mom’s house, find the VHS tapes, find a VCR, and go through all the trouble to play it in shitty non HD square screen. I just slapped on the one on Disney Plus, and man it is so cringe and hasn’t aged well. I wonder if George Lucas made it part of his deal when he sold Star Wars to Disney that his shitty cuts had to stay. It doesn’t make sense that Disney wouldn’t give the option for he original unbastardized version.

Han not just blasting Greedo in cold blood changes the scene and character immensely. They shitty singing/ dancing weird 90s CGI thing in Jabbas lair is terrible. All the 90’s CGI added in the background did not age well; didn’t look particularly good then, and sticks out like a sore thumb.

I don’t know about that with Jim Jeffries is one of my go tos. They see how much Jim knows about a given subject and have an expert in the field listening and grading. It’s funny z and I’ve learned a lot from it too.

Imo glass bottle is king. Then can, then plastic bottle if I’m in the middle of the Mojave desert having walked for 3 days with absolutely no form of hydration and am literally on the cusp of death. It tastes like shit and is bad for environment; not recyclable. Fuck plastic bottles.

I get it, but my point is the criminal element uses the Covid masks for a completely different reason than the immunocompromised, and it’s very easy to tell who that is.

Where I’m at, it doesn’t get THAT cold.

More recently, I’m immediately suspicious of someone who is very obviously not immunocompromised; wearing a Covid mask with the hoodie up. Especially if they have sunglasses on. That person is either bipping cars or about to steal something. Best to just steer clear. I only ever really encounter these types in SF. They aren’t worried about Covid, they just don’t want their face to be seen.

I’ve literally never had anything stolen from an overhead bin, and I’ve never given the slightest of fucks about monitoring my bags unless I was traveling to like a 3rd world country, and even then, it’s overkill to worry. It’s a captive audience, and the dumbest place to steal. The airline has everyone’s name/info. It’s certainly possible, for someone to, but definitely not likely.

I just flew with 2 kids and 4 carry ons. We had to go to the service desk to check 2 car seats anyway, so I asked the lady if we could gate check our carry ons while we were there. They did it free of charge. I don’t know if all airlines/ airports will do it, but Delta did. It was super convenient to not have to lug around 4 bags through security and around the airport/ layover airport while chasing 2 kids. Unfortunately, I’m flying United back who only allows a “personal item” so I’m assuming that’s not going to be an option on my return flight.

Thieves aren’t buying multiple hundred dollar tickets to bip your laptop from your bag man.

I literally chill til the very end of boarding before I get on. Like you said, my seat is assigned, it ain’t changing, and I’m packed light enough to put my backpack under the seat in front of me. Sometimes people don’t show up n I sneak into a better seat 🤫. I’ve only ever been called out for that on Frontier, they know the hustle apparently. I’ve never bothered trying 1st class or anything, but I’ve gotten some middle seats to transform into aisles that way.

Automated AI powered yeet cannon? The future is now.
