How does them giving free games have anything to do with their desire for a "monopolistic" market share? Couldn't they just do the same if they wanted any market share?

Yes but they used it as an adjective, not a verb.

Man, I flew to a Korean last year for around $800 a ticket but I CANNOT find anything under 1k this year so far. And I've been looking all year, I even use most of these tricks... I'm afraid flying there is just a lot more expensive now 😞

Not that I disagree but that kinda of mentality is how we got here imo. "That's a problem for the future."

I explained at least one thing wrong with it

No, GP said that there's nothing wrong with wanting to see the world, and all you replied what's wrong with air travel.

And just because traveling the world is a recent phenomenon, doesn't mean people haven't had the desire to explore the world and distant places for centuries.

UGH, THIS ONE IS SO GOOD.

Sounds very exhausting and sometimes I complain because once or twice a year we have to work a little extra on Friday night's, haha. Nice to have some perspective sometimes.

I wouldn't say being an air traffic controller is really anything like being a pilot to be honest. Pilots have to have very technical knowledge of aeronautics and focus their one single job of safely managing / landing their plane. An air traffic controller has to coordinate airspace for (possibly) many aircraft in a safe way. It can get very chaotic when things go awry but 90% of the time it's fairly straight forward procedure.

I was about task how a person can even work that much forgetting I used to do air traffic control and had very similar hours. Glad I don't have to work like that anymore. Although I'm sure your work is more rewarding.

I mostly agree with this, but I don't think I'd enjoy playing with a clip + controller combo and I'd really love to use a backbone if they made one that fit my phone.

There's other backbone-like controllers that do though, so I may give that a shot.

Dont know about where you're from but when someone says concert they usually mean large production in an arena or other large seating capacity venue. Not something that is held at bars. I'd call something I go to at a bar a "show".

Was really disappointed the more I learned about this. And I'll say it looks awful too, something an 8 year old would design. But, I don't play my playstation nearly as much as I'd like simply because it's not portable like my switch. Maybe this will be the kick I need to play my PS games more and for $200, it's pretty affordable. Might as well give it a try.

They are referring to those who hold liberal market beliefs. Not liberal social beliefs. Also known as conservatives in the US.
