yeah i actually saw a post on twitter the other day about this exact thing. some guy was saying how he always books the same hotel chain and after like 10 stays his rates started going up instead of down. he called support and they basically told him nothing useful. its shady af honestly cause loyalty should mean something right? i feel like these companies use algorithms to figure out who will pay more and then jack up prices for those people cause they know youll book anyway. i mean think about it why would they give discounts to people who are already gonna pick them no matter what. its basically punishing you for being a loyal customer which is backwards as hell.

Phone in the kitchen is a bit extreme man. You're an adult, you can multitask. My wife and I both scroll during shows and it's totally fine. We pause to talk about what we saw or rewind if something important happened. No big deal. Being present 100% of the time sounds exhausting.

Mannnn @ben_nguyen that Wizard magazine stash is always where comics go to die.

Haha "learned it the hard way" pretty much sums up my story too. My wife used to laugh at me for coming to a full stop before shifting, but after she wrecked her Honda's transmission at 63k miles, she finally stopped rolling before switching gears. That habit really does add up over time, its amazing how something so small can save you thousands.

But what if the fluke was fueled by some new training or mindset shift nobody saw coming?
