Considering the state of our current government then giving them 30 days, at best, to do anything isn't a great idea.

But if the first covid stimulus to keep the market from crashing and the 3AM bailout of Silicon Valley Bank are any indication then they'll act as fast as they have to to avert actual disaster. Subsequent covid waves and bank collapses weren't quite as world ending so they didn't do anything about them.

I guess unless "Time until 0$" gets moved up to tomorrow or something, that'd suck

Usually that's how it would go but the House now has a provision where the craziest fuckers can call a vote against the speaker at any point so we might get up to the point where the government would normally react fast and then everything comes to a screeching halt

I saw that but it looked like a special sale, their retail msrp box office tickets seem to be $119 now. could be one of those things where there’s never ending “sales” so msrp isn’t the real price

If you live close to Six Flags, the membership price is a really, REALLY good value at the platinum level with the meal pass added on.

- Free Parking.
- 2 free meals and a snack per visit.
- Early entry for members.
- Unlimited drink refills from the reusable tumbler they give you per season.
- 2 guest passes per member per season.

Yeah, the food isn't super great, but two free meals a visit is a great deal for what comes out to $35 a month per membership. My wife and I were members when we lived in SoCal, and it made a great date day.

I’ve been to Disney World for one day one once when I was like 10 with my dad. We both hated it and waited in a bunch of lines for hours in the hot sun and paid a lot for lovely food. We both thought it was dumb as hell but at least we knew what people were jerking off about.

As I a kid we always went during the off season. Non stop rides and no lines. Although one time Disneyland actually had lines in the off season because of a goth convention nearby. Disneyland full of goths!

Yup, you have to have a plan for your vacation time at Disney. No just winging it, you need to like schedule rides like appointments. I think you get like 3 or 4 free fast passes unless you upgrade the pass, but I haven't gone since 2018 and this poo poo always changes. I had an annual pass for a year since I'm a local and even within a year they were changing how this worked all the time, and since it was still when they were implementing the system there were metastrategies you could try and they didn't charge for it as much. Kinda wish they kept the fastpass kiosks since they spit out little tickets that had the ride name on it, fun little souvenir. I have a Big Thunder Mountain fastpass as a bookmark in Blood Meridian :v:

I mean, it's dystopic but also what you're doing at that point is standing in a virtual queue instead of a physical one so you can either ride/queue for something else or spend money at the shops. If you lean into the system and play it right you end up coming out ahead vs. like the 2000s where you just stand in line for 2 hours for space mountain and that's all you do for 2 hours.
