re: Spirit airline on the brink of insolvency, future flights could be in doubt
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 4/17/26 at 6:32 pm to 777Tiger
I like Spirit. I travel solo with just a backpack as a personal item and avoid all their add-ons. Just throw me in the middle seat between Tyrone and Tanisha and let’s roll.

re: The most iconic steakhouse in every state

I don't event hink I'd consider Brightstar a steakhouse for Bama. It is definitey one of the more iconic restaurants in the state for its history, but I don't know anyone that would consider it a steakhouse in the traditional sense. You can get steak, sure, but probably has more seafood options than it does steak. It is just a southern style restaurant.
I was going to post the exact same thing. Great restaurant? Yes. Iconic restaurant? Absolutely. But steakhouse? Not really. Steak is my favorite food and I ordered seafood the one time I ate there.

I voted for Trump and am glad he’s president instead of Biden or Harris (or pretty much any Democrat nowadays), but I think it was poor picture to post. It’s easy to interpret it as religious in nature, and I’m not convinced that wasn’t the intention instead of the doctor and Red Cross shite. Very narcissistic any way you slice it, in my opinion.
That said. I’m not losing any sleep over it.

But no one took it and he came through in a playoff hole. Rory is definitely kind of a choker but since he did win last year he will avoid the label. 6 stroke lead with 36 to play and currently +2 since then with a field that has made scoring look pretty easy. He got his masters though he doesn’t really care anymore it’s just bonus from here on out per him. F that

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly…”

Winter sports are not only inaccessible to most of the world but are very expensive to boot.
If there’s a 10 y/o Lebron James talent right now in Miami or Los Angeles or Omaha or rural Alabama, he very likely will be identified, developed, and play in the NBA. Basketball courts are everywhere and nearly every high school has a team.
But there are millions upon millions of young kids who could (hypothetically) have all the traits of Wayne Gretzky and will never even touch a hockey stick.
It’s a relatively shallow pool of talent
I have thought the same in the Bolt vs. Phelps debates. Running fast is a hell of a lot more fundamental to sports and coveted than swimming the breaststroke. You would have to be in some of the absolute poorest, most remote places on Earth to grow up with world class speed that was never recognized.

As far as some kind of religious apocalypse, that concerns me about as much as Freddy Krueger.
As far as a nuclear holocaust or deadly pandemic similar to The Stand or 28 Days Later, no, not really. I think the odds of that in my lifetime are very slim. Plus, I am 47 and don’t have kids. I have already lived most of the best days of my life and don’t fear for a future beyond my existence. I don’t want society to crumble, but I don’t have as much stake in the future as most people.

It would be better if blacks and women weren’t always blaming white men for something. If left to their own devices over the last few millennia. I am not sure either group would have even reached North America by now - much less turn a lap around the Moon.
The white man is demonized by the very people standing on his shoulders to do everything in the modern world.

f it were 1996, would we know who Livy Dunne is?
No.
And while no group in history ever had it easier than hot women do in 2026, the timing Dunne has benefited from has a lot to do with fame and accomplishment in general.
If Bill Gates and Steve Jobs had been born in the 1550s instead of the 1950s, they likely would have been average men at best in a less civilized, less technologically advanced world. There was little use for their talents then.
If Patton and Eisenhower had been born 50 years later, their military leadership wouldn’t have been at the forefront of history’s greatest war and no one would know who they are. They wouldn’t be the revered historical figures they are today.
I think the reason hot social media women get some ridicule for their fame and money (and questions like the one in the OP are asked) is because they generally don’t really have to work that hard for it. In most arenas of life, there’s a level of sacrifice needed to reach the top no matter how talented you are and people have more respect for that. Derrick Henry, for example, is uber talented, but there’s nothing easy about saddling up and carrying the ball 25 times against an NFL defense and preparing your body to do it.

100%? Horse shite. If it was all looks there are a thousand girls hotter than her that would be as successful. Just go browse Insta. GIve her a little credit for having the initiative and either business savvy or a damn good agent/advisor to help her build her success.
1. I don’t know that it’s business savvy (or charisma, etc.) for many successful hot women on social media so much as just being the ones to catch lightning in a bottle. It fate had struck 5 minutes earlier or later, it might have been someone else in their shoes.
I will give Dunne credit for the fact that not just anyone can be a college gymnast and that platform gave her just enough exposure for the world to see she’s hot and start paying attention.
2. As for the picture, I don’t know why people need to encourage women in 2026. They have it way easier than men do in this world. There are plenty of high paying jobs out there that don’t require the strength of a man, and they can sell their sexuality exponentially due to the internet , etc. The smokin’ hot 25-year-old real estate agent with her picture on a billboard has an advantage over any male agent in the city. And a lot of women can just say frick it all and be trophy wives and never work a job ever while men provide for them. Ain’t no woman doing that shite for a man. They also aren’t going to war or expected to risk their lives in a dangerous situation.
Women (especially attractive ones) live life on easy mode.

Top college football coaching gigs
As a former coach who was in the profession for 20 years, I think there’s a few ways of looking at the “best gig” that are true of many professions.
Ambition vs. job security vs. freedom.
Do you want the program where you’re most likely to win if you’re an excellent coach up to the challenge and willing to commit insane hours? Or do you want the program that’s the best combination of pay, resources, expectations, and can be more easily sustained long term by an average/good coach?
Winning and money aren’t everything. There are plenty of sharp Main Street bankers who could have worked on Wall Street but wanted something quieter that allowed for more personal freedom. Some coaches are the same way.

John Candy in JFK is an example.

It works both ways, though, and fans and coaches don’t want to acknowledge their own contributions to the current state of college sports.
1. Fans would rather win with mercenaries than lose with in-state talent. The players do not care about the schools, but the fans and schools do not care about the players other than their ability to deliver on the field. This goes back a lot further than NIL and the portal.
2. Coaches like Dabo and Saban can whine all day about wanting an emphasis on education and development, but no one is getting paid eight figures based on graduation rates, players becoming model citizens, or even NFL careers. Those salaries are 99% about what happens in college stadiums on game days.
College coaches want to be seen as educators, but they want to be paid like entertainers.
