@RaccoonRailroad I hope it shutsdown. The more Florida fails the more I'm happy. I want these fuckers here punished for leaving disgusting pig republicans in charge for three decades. This state is a shithole.

Brightline didn't fail because it's a passenger train, it failed because it's a private company. Public transportation isn't profitable and that's fine.
Now nationalize it.

@Bullzelis @ellelledeell @zerepwrestling I have some good ones but yeah, I should have thought more about what I posted.

I always get confused when people complain about hotel check in and check out times. When do you expect these rooms to be cleaned?
ARROW@phresh_arrow
Things that we’ve normalized that feel like robbery: Ticketmaster Fees 4pm Check-In 11am Check-Out Paying for Hospital Parking $40+ Hotel Parking $10 Mocktails $8 Coffee $5 Greeting Cards $5 Bottled Water $100 Bottles at the Club $20 Tequila Shots Tipping on To Go Orders Astronomical Student Loan Interest $2000 Daycare $45 For A Seat on an Airplane $75 For a Checked Bag Insurance WiFi What did I forget?

@ellelledeell @zerepwrestling I didn’t really imagine anything tbh. It just seemed a little early. Not that deep.
English
@_horrorfox @zerepwrestling Do you imagine they hire one housekeeper per room, and all 217 housekeepers come in for one hour a day?
English
@pskpspspss @AlexGalarce @zerepwrestling Dude I don’t know. I’m not an expert on cleaning hotel rooms. I just think it seems a little early. Didn’t really have a deep analysis of it while getting drunk watching basketball.
English
@_horrorfox @AlexGalarce @zerepwrestling Do you think they just add in extra hours for fun? They have no incentive to hold the room an extra hour really
English
@AM_Pines @AlexGalarce @zerepwrestling Yeah I guess I’m showing my lack of depth on this subject cause I travel a decent amount and am usually able to get in a little early most of the time.
English
@_horrorfox @AlexGalarce @zerepwrestling 20-30 minutes to clean hotel rooms, so in 5 hours then can clean, 10-15?
Then they still have to decide who would get "early" dibs. Which is why if you're just nice and ask politely, they might have it free, but setting check in at 4 makes it possible to ensure it's fair.
English
@AlexGalarce @zerepwrestling There are indeed a lot of rooms. You don’t have to hold them back until they’re all clean though and not every room on every floor is going to be occupied. I don’t doubt it takes a bit to clean the vacant rooms. Just not five or so hours.
English
@_horrorfox @zerepwrestling Well you see the issue is that there are a lot of rooms
English
@BeyondTheMiles1 @zerepwrestling I won’t deny that. I could definitely be under estimating that.
English
@_horrorfox @zerepwrestling I used to work in hotels, you'd be surprised at the awful state some people leave these rooms. People are really disgusting

@bumbadum14 I feel like people aren’t realizing that for many, Spirit costs roughly the same as a “normal” airline when you factor in baggage and seat fees (assuming you pay them). It costs around an extra $100+ to check a bag or carry one on.
English
Spirit being gone will immediately make the experience flying SIGNIFICANTLY better.
kevikev@KevCoke6
Budget airlines are essential. Spirit Airlines shutdown will have a tremendous impact on people throughout the country. Everyone cannot afford Delta, American, or United.
English
@notwhydeegee2 That was my biggest beef with them. Sometimes your checked/carry on bags would be more than your flight.
English
Alright, I fly every week or so. Why are we lying? Spirit and Frontier start off with cheap tickets and then nickel-and-dime you for EVERY BASIC SERVICE
Milk and Honey@Amber_doll81
As someone who uses Delta, American, United (hate them), Spirit and Frontier I’ve never thought I was better on any airline lol It’s a seat on public transportation. Y’all forcing this elitist behavior is hilarious it’s giving
English
@zerepwrestling Alright I already admit maybe 25-30 is a little short. But still
English
@zerepwrestling Unless someone has gone full Motley Crue on a hotel room it should take like 25-30min to clean the average hotel room.

@jwilcox79 @ajlamesa Grown adults going to Disney really is a mental illness that needs filtered out. Should be a ‘must have at least one child’ rule.
English
As a childless adult who’s been to every Disney park in the world at least once in the last decade, “Disney adults” are not what’s ruining this for regular families.
Problem is same trend affecting all types of travel: The industry has decided to cater to the biggest spenders.
The New Yorker@NewYorker
For the most devoted fans, Disney has engineered an ecosystem of financial entanglement that goes far deeper than park tickets or merchandise, which keeps the magic—and the debt—perpetually compounding. In 2023, Ashley, a freshman at Quinnipiac University, in Connecticut, had $15,000 in her bank account. Excited by her newfound freedom as a college student, she decided to start going on solo trips. Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida, seemed like an obvious choice. She went during her winter break. Then she returned, six times, in two years. Soon enough, her account balance had dwindled to just five dollars. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many adults who have accumulated Disney debt seem to be chasing a feeling from their childhoods. One woman, who has been to Disney World more than a hundred times, said that visiting the parks takes her back to a time when she had fewer worries: “It’s the nostalgic feeling of what brought you joy when you were little and you didn’t have the stressors of adult life.” Read more about the Disney adults putting themselves in debt for the pursuit of magic: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/_JqtFg

@Vrabel56 If I was engagement slipping I’d be trying much harder
I just find Disney adults a bit strange
English
Recently went to Disney with a double stroller. Tough to navigate crowds
IMO Disney adults severely detract from the experience for kids
Every scheduled parade in MK, character walking around, and line is overwhelmed by 30-45 year olds in $200 of Disney Swag blocking the view

Among my hottest takes are:
- Disney adults (esp with no kids) are ruining it for families by inflating the cost of everything.
- Disney adults should seek therapy to deal with childhood issues, not more trips to Disneyland.
- Disney should not cater to Disney adults. It’s for families. It’s for the kids.

Question for those who were a bit older than me in 2000: Did everyone just see this gigantic man show up and just not think anything of it or was everyone aware that he had more steroids in his body than a BALCO Christmas Party?
I was 8 years old in 2000, so I was old enough to follow the team a bit but not old enough to realize that some of these guys were juiced out of their minds.

Nobody talks enough about Glenallen Hill coming over to the Yankees in midseason in 2000 and hitting 16 HRs in just 132 ABs. The same year in fact that he cleared Wrigley with that 500 foot blast.
