Yeah I can laugh at the higher-ups eating shit on this, but Reddit is, like, the last place on the internet where you can easily find answers to specific questions that someone else has asked. Discord and Twitter are absolute shit at that. 

I was pretty miffed at getting perma-banned for “inciting violence” against fascism (as if there’s any other appropriate response), but I’ll confess to enjoying no small amount of schadenfreude at how the platform is being self-destructed in the name of profit.

Evidently, these fools weren’t even using a credit card, but a debit card. Which has FAR fewer protections. And not only have more than one card, make sure they are from different BANKS. I had all three of my Citibank credit cards hacked once when I was thousands of miles from home, thankfully I had a couple Chase…

Yes, it’s pretty egregious that Uber doesn’t have exception processing in place for this. This should have immediately gone to a human for review, but how can you disrupt the industry if you’re going have a bunch of humans just sitting around on the payroll?

Yeah, you are balling so hard with those few thousand in fees.

The charge should have never went through in the first place, especially since it should have been suspicious that ANY Uber ride would be 30K$...In fact spending 30K in one sitting should have been a red flag before it even reached the account unless the couple normally spends that amount.

i hope airport security told the gate agent to get fucked; how do you get detained for a “frowned upon”

“If pricing were more straightforward people wouldn’t resort to these methods” EXACTLY. When I was living in Detroit 20 years ago, for some reason it was often cheaper for me to drive to Lansing or Toledo and then fly back to the Detroit Airport, and then fly non-stop to my actual destination. How an extra flight on…

This is almost as unamerican as HOAs. If someone buys something, it is theirs to do with as they please. They can use it, or they can not use it, but the seller shouldn’t be able to force them to do anything, otherwise they shouldn’t be selling the thing.

If he had payed the higher one-way direct flight fare, would he have been on the same flight at the same time, to the same destination?

It seems like a bad idea to for the airlines to try and outright combat this. All it does is raise public awareness and point a spotlight on their “contract of carriage”, which they use to get away with all kinds of anti-customer service things.

An empty seat is a ticket unsold to the money minds who make air travel tick.

To be exclusively using this for 8 years and “not know it was against all the airlines terms and conditions” seems like a huge stretch. The dad knew the practice was frowned upon. Also the ticketing agents usually don’t care where your ID is from. Most likely the agent probably made an off comment about visiting New…

I spent thousands of hours flying on planes at a previous job, much of it intentionally in crappy weather, and I’ll just say this - when you’re seated, keep your seatbelt on. Oh, and wear long pants and long sleeve shirts when you’re flying. Those escape slides are not made of soft or smooth material.

While it makes me a bit sad to see one of the OG craft brewers die, I didn’t do much to help them, I probably bought Anchor Steam two times in the ~20 years I’ve been drinking craft beer. 

I could understand if it was say a 20 year old satellite, but if the satellite has been in orbit for 5 years, shouldn’t proper de-orbit technology have been included? I understand that there’s a multi-year design process, but we’re still talking about a process that should have started at a point where we know we need…

“...comes closer to Earth and its _gravitational field_”????

The Chinese version gets the larger 1.5T engine.

Lord of the Rings orc, looking inbred piece of shit.

My family has run a army/navy/department store for over 70 years and the one single really bad decision my dad made during his time as president of the company was hiring a husband and wife theft prevention team. They were great at their jobs, catching customer ofter customer stealing stuff as minor as a pack of fish…
