what card should I get instead of CSR now that it's dumb? I haven't been churning, just rolling with the CSR for years.

Airline / hotel specific one? I just got the big boy AA citi card as I was tired of being out of the game and my chase time is a ways off. Cap1 and Citi general cards all seem pud
I would rather have a general everyday card

Seems like downgrade to CSP then?
I think so

Pro-tip request:
Any strong recommendation for for pillow / sleep situation on long overnight flights?
I swear to God this is great. Looks ridiculous but doubles as an eyemask and stays in place as a pillow in any position. I've used it a ton

Eric sounds like Don Trump often . . . really can’t see #blueanongE supporting Eric when there’s a socialist whackadoo available. 

The channeling of the inner free market zealot by #blueanongE is reserved solely and exclusively for vitriol towards pubs

Not only is he entertaining like Trump, he is also a criminal like Trump.

BTW this guys policies particularly on housing will be a disaster if implemented.

Housing is already on a very short supply and rent controls will encourage long term entrenched tenants who won't move, will de-incentivize net new construction, and cause more purposeful neglect of upkeep by landlords.

The rent freeze is only for rent-stabilized apartments, which has been done many times in the past. (The apartments are also almost entirely 50+ years old). Most units, including new ones will still be market rate.

He's also for upzoning and removing parking minimums and building more public housing

His ideas are not going to alleviate the housing shortage and he's just extending and expanding the policies that helped exasperate the housing shortage



I mean no one in the race is/was going to "alleviate" the housing shortage.

It's ok to not comment

Anything for political power . . . dude knows he'd have no chance if he said otherwise.

Exactly what is Trump "threatening"?

Viewers of this blog will note that for people like cRusty (and millions more) a "threat" is being told that you can't get everything you want - anytime you want it. For people like cRusty, a threat is being told a dude can't go into the private spaces traditionally reserved for cis-gendered Females (including underage girls) or a dude being told he can't compete in cis-gendered female sports simply by declaring himself a woman.
LMAO and I should be concerned with Zohran's  "hardcore hyper conservative misogynistic oriented religion"

Viewers of this blog will note that the #blueanon political movement (numbering in the tens of millions) skews anti Judeo Christian, substantial cliques within the movement are hardcore anti-Semitics. They regularly completely lose their crap over the invocation of biblical ideals - even though a growing number of Christians and denominational sects within Judeo Christianity skew very socially liberal, particularly when it comes to LGBTQ. 

What viewers of this blog and the national scene will note is that #blueanon is politically coalescing more and more around politicians who are submitter's (Muslimun) to a hardcore hyper conservative misogynistic oriented religion . . . #blueanon eschews all of their alleged norms and values in their quest for political power.

When challenged on this they'll resort to the usual DerpCon One level "intelligence" by invoking Islamophobia because they're embarrassed and ashamed of the fact that they are selling out their alleged ideals.

See Lick for a great example.  :thumbsup:

my little brother broke his femur when he was around that age. was in a full body cast for month - cast went down the broken leg to the toe and down the other leg to just above the knee and there was a bar between each leg and a hole cutout for pissing and shitting. just brutal.

I'm hopeful his stake is too small for him to have much say.

Park Hyatt Zurich. is this helpful?

i should add that this was the fanciest hotel i've ever stayed at and i felt out of place at the time. the shower and bath were my favorite part. like this must be how lady gaga or whoever lives.

some other ones that come to mind that i've stayed at, thanks to the cc thread:

- Eliza Jane new orleans. beautiful and uniquely restored historic hotel with modern amenities, perfect location (quarter adjace but not in the quarter)
- Andaz 5th avenue: very very nice but i won't stay in midtown again. a suffocating amount of the most boring type of tourist everywhere, and like nothing cool nearby?
- Hotel du Louvre: an incredible flex if you're going with a romantic partner. very adorable classic paris building across the street from its namesake. cool private exterior balconies to take in the street scene, great location from which to explore Paris.
Thank you

there are definitely a lot of maps like that out there that are completely fabricated

I think it's more of a joco thing

If true, that's possibly the most interesting fact I've ever heard about Johnson County Kansas
