US law requires them to issue full refund if that’s what you prefer. It was good they gave you the vouchers though- that was extra.

The inconvenience of transportation to the UK, the inconsistent rules, and because they can charge more because the UK is desperate.

I'm not saying you have to like it. But why are you trying to say that no one would like it? You don't speak for everyone. Just say you don't like it. You don't have to try to express it as some sort of universal truth that it's innately unsatisfying. What if you're the type of person to appreciate the technological work that went into it? What if that is more than enough for you, and you actually don't find it unsatisfying?

Okay, let me speak for myself. It is enough for me and it isn't sort of unsatisfying to me. I just don't appreciate how people are downvoting people who defend this kind of thing. You don't have to like it, but you don't just get to assign it "unsatisfying" and have that be truth.

Might want to check what fossil fuel is the most used in power generation in the uk. Which means the price of gas does infact affect electricity prices as it’s an overall part of the power mix.

"Alright, time to muck out the hologram pens again."

As an fyi whenever originating or landing in a US airport they must also follow US regulations. Got a full refund from VA for March 2020 cancelled flights- first waited like 120 days or something then ran out of patience. They were trying to give me vouchers (permissible under EU regs) but US requires cash option. I pointed this out to them and they got all cheeky and so I prepped a US FAA complaint form and sent it to VA’s corporate office (along with the text of the regulation they were violating and penalties, as well as screenshots of all the customer service texts etc) asking how they’d prefer to handle it. Full refund 48 hours later.

My point is that it’s not. But whatever. Nowhere is there an indication that the original thing is better than the current thing, only that the current thing is bad. I’m open to being wrong if you can show me otherwise.

I love how this is posted in r/UpliftingNews as a positive story and yet so far the comments have been incredibly judgy and negative /s

I pity the fool

Was this recently?

I laughed :)

Put a mo-cap performer as the ogre and have the ring leader tame it.

I'm sold.

Yeah, there you go. Work some circus performers in around that shit!

Yay, let’s pretend all the good stuff he does doesn’t matter because he also happens to be successful

Jeez I hope so that's £750

I think I went to one in the second grade? I'm 33 now so, math. I haven't even seen a circus since then and I've lived from Florida clear to Hawaii and places in between. They freak me out, the whole scenario around the circus makes the entire idea feel icky.

We're just looking at it from different angles is all.

I'd love to attend a hologram show that puts 20 foot ogres center stage.

Exactly! let's appreciate a guy who goes out of his way to make people happy, a guy who creates, produces, and promotes great art. A dude who invites people up on the stage to play music with him doing his band's concerts. A man who takes the time to raise his children. Let's give it up for a guy who has been a world famous rockstar for decades, without a single sexual assault charge or any other scandal.

Gotta be honest "Worship" seems a bit excessive, but besides that I agree with you!

this is not uplifting

uplifting would be a circus treating its animals well

this is just moving the animals to a zoo where they are just as likely to be treated bad, PLUS they get bored all day... AND the so-called "circus" will go out of business because its just a bad joke now

Maybe but should they also then use holograms of people who were once considered freaks and exploited. Showing holograms of the animals still represents a negative thing. I don't know man...just throwing some ideas out there.

Grohl is one of the few that actually deserves praise though lol

The original comment is an indication of that. That's the whole point. But whatever.

I was guessing British airforce lol

More like we’re not assuming shit just because it could be something they think. There’s no actual indication they think that at all. If someone describes a rectangle, you wouldn’t assume they mean a square.
