To just create your own versions, for your own use? No issues.

It’s absolutely part of the deal.

Meh people are gonna come down on you in this thread for not being some perfect picture of a parent/person, but you are considering things, trying to find the best path to be respectful and decent. It’s ok to acknowledge your wishes in a “private” conversation where you weigh the consequences of things.

Imo this is your son’s relationship with the friend. Let that run it’s course, and just read the signals along the way.

Same shit, new boss

Massive physical exhaustion with time to “calm down” before sleep.

I’ve heard steeze in snowboard / Park rat culture. Though it’s a bit dated it means like, style/vibe/look

“an” old?

I’m allowed to further discuss the on topic subject, especially as clarification of my point.

Edit you minimized the discussion to quantitative “more olives”, and I clarified my position as being more than that, and that the definition of premium is a known thing.

If you are all set, stop replying. I promise you I wouldn’t double reply to repull you.

Edit also you entered this conversation debating what “premium” is so don’t act like that’s invalid discussion.

Well it’s clearly described what you get. It’s not just “more”.

Material, physical changes to the customer experience.

You’re literally getting a different seat as a product, or a different relationship with the purchase, as a service.

I’m not simping for the airline here, but it’s literally different (and stupidly more expensive)

That’s silly and not seen anywhere in the commercial flight market

Position in the place for example there’s only so much plane and there’s food space and bad. “Somewhat less shit” is a short rope as there’s only so many rows, and since are better than others.

Being able to refund is clearly premium.

Etc etc

If you don’t see grad as extreme you are lost in the sauce

No? More space, better position in the plane, better boarding group, generally better refund policy, better miles accrual

Edit what’s the downvotes? Each thing is a more premium version of the basic economy.

Of note, there’s articles of people being thrown off flights for Palestine related garb. Agree with all you said but the airlines are clearly splitting hairs

This is slow roasted multi month bait

I don’t need to talk to those who are openly racist. I’m not talking about some political double speak. I have trump voters in my community that openly use racist slurs in their discussion of immigrants, and minorities in town.

You are the company you keep, and those folks aren’t part of my life. Trump was just the vector to illuminate their position that was previously kept in hushed tones behind doors.

Lemmy is prepared to throw down at any moment, for literally any reason

I am in control of my own life. All small chores will cower in fear before me. No one can carry this burden but me. (Because it only takes a few minutes)

The one nearest.
