Yeah, one of hte major reasons I struggle to understand how Subway has survived all this time is because they’ve managed to make the act of baking bread smell bad. Which should be impossible. 

Here are a few pics taken from my garden (the ship is roughly 10km away), the first one taken shortly after it ran aground:

This is exactly it. You don’t have to be sympathetic, but you can be apathetic. What you can’t be is happy about someone else getting the raw end of a deal.  That makes you a dick.

My story. My daughter had Freshman orientation scheduled at an out of state school. I had a business trip that was Tuesday through Thursday, her orientation was on Saturday and Sunday. So, I get plane tickets for her and me ($800 since it involved DC during the Cherry Blossom festival). Work pays me $400 for my ticket.

And on top of all that, the guy’s right. The vouchers should absolutely go to whoever paid for the tickets originally. It’s completely nonsensical that they don’t.

Thank you! We (and Erik) don’t know. You beat me to the premise that Grandpa might have busted his ass in a steel mill for 40 years and saved for this now he’s screwed and Schilling is laughing at him. Well done Comrade Schilling!!

100% agree. When I read this quote in the article, I was like, seriously?

And really, its 10k. Spending 10 grand on a family vacation that you maybe saved up for years and used some of your airline miles and rewards points on is a fairly mundane thing.

And I absolutely agree with that. I’m not going to cry for this man. I will risk an assumption here, but he likely has the means to financially recover from this easier than most. My sympathy level will be relative to his personal loss, and since I don’t know the man, I have to guess and risk being completely…

But there is a difference in a heavy sympathy for those evicted and actively enjoying a person’s problems simply because it can be worse. It’s okay to be indifferent on vacation grandpa, but it just makes him look like an asshole for being so outwardly happy about strangers having problems.

A principle I’ve tried in recent years is to expand on for myself is the concept of “if you don’t believe in X for those you disagree with, then you don’t believe in X.” One of the unfortunate sides of this is realizing what horrible flaming hypocrites many people are.

Agreed, I think of myself as a good little liberal, but the hate on anyone above a struggling blogger is nauseating. Also at 10K for 14 tickets, they sure as hell aren’t flying business.

Honestly, fuck you.

Well I bought one.

being poor is expensive

Because they can get affordable financing with very little down on these new cars. Hard to get an 8 year loan on an used car, and buy here pay here charge an arm and a leg on financing.

Because if you miss a day of work, you probably don’t have a job anymore.

A great nation does great things. And despite that brainless pathologically lying racist squatting in the White House doing his damnedest to be divisive monster, America Can Still Do It.
