discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

United it just as bad, to be honest. Look up what happened to David Dao on a flight back in 2017. He was flying to treat a Patient, and got his ass whooped and dragged out. I don't have problems like that, since they tend not to actively target frequent flyers, but I've had my share of straight up assholes, including people trying to change seats and getting pissy about it.

I looked it up, damn that's crazy.. Nice to know who to avoid as I would like to travel more but haven't flown much. Thank you the the heads up.

I wonder if there will be people meta-gaming to try and be the first post on page 5000

I honestly believe that @Underlord goes so far as to set his clock to be here to obtain that bit of glory / dubious honor -- I think he got 3000 and 4000

I flew to Toronto last month, around a week before that Delta Plane flipped. So, yep, paranoia kicking in lately.

I understand that flying is safer than driving -- but the difference is - it is me driving the car so if I don't make it - at least I know who to blame.

Elon Musk before he bought Twitter/X? Though preferably myself from the past with my current knowledge. I've never really idolized people or imagined my life in their place.

Nah man the correct answer is Elon Musk today. During that day withdraw an extremely large sum of money in cash. Hide it somewhere nobody would ever find it. Tomorrow, you are yourself again. Go get the cash you hid yesterday. Ez dub

I hope I can Get in on the 5000 rush to the first post, if I have the time and see there's only like 3 pages I'll probably stick around and wait.

I get your point about driving, if an asshole hits you in your car at least there could have been something you could have done, but in a plane, you're at the pilot's mercy, nothing you do matters and you don't even get too see what killed you.

ust remembered that my fellow cat (Kaity) said that they'll look at the answers for yesterday's "kitty question of the day" on Monday, meaning that there probably won't be a question today... (at least I think so?)
Soooooo...
If you could relive ANY day in your life, which one would it be?

I have given this some more thought and decided that I would go back to any day in 2009, empty my entire savings and 401K and buy bitcoin.

Bitcoin had a price of zero when it was introduced in 2009. Its price jumped from its long-held level of $0.10 to $0.20 on Oct. 26, 2010. Before the year had closed out, it had reached $0.30. In 2011, it started growing past $1, reaching a peak of $29.60 on June 8, 2011; however, a sharp recession in cryptocurrency markets followed, and

price dropped, closing the year at about $5.

bitcoin closed at $106,749 on January 22, 2025. Sigh -- shoulda - woulda - coulda - didn't

I was wondering if anyone would catch me slipping that in there.

Man, I don't know about this new theme, maybe I'll warm up to it later? the color contrast is a bit more than I'd like

Definitely preferred the old one, I like having navigation stuff at the top of my screen

The menu on the left takes up quite a bit of space. Hope we can hide it or minimize it to half its size since it takes up double the space it needs for the sake of readability

..so that's what this eyesore is?

I mean that literally. This shit hurts my eyes.

I hate it.

Whoever thought this shit was a good idea needs to lay off the LSD.

I really didn't want to say it, but "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". And this fix for sure ain't bringing in new members.

Browsing on Phone now, thought I went to the wrong site, since the layout is similar to that one. The red is incredibly obnoxious, but I do appreciate the quick menu and user menu at the bottom. I can just quick scroll and log out, without having to hit the account button on mobile. The Alert Button tied to the menu is a bit annoying, I prefer the clear and present bell that used to be at the top when getting messages or reacts.

I do prefer the other color scheme, by far.

Good morning to you. good night for me. and good evening for those with evenings.
And my god did they make the solution to minimize posts worse, you can toggle them and now you get a scroll bar which for me makes scrolling stop.
I feel like trash bad talking all the effort that went into this change, but it doesn't feel like it was for the best

Though the drop-down arrow to see user numbers was good and helps minimize posts

Good nite y'all
