Here is the airplane stuff I did not post a month ago. Really not any less depressing now! even though it is mostly about the always-on electricity-wasting, fare-raising screens stuck to the seats immediately in front of passengers

first of all I refuse to Enter [My] Seatback Experience nor call it that except for the purpose of showing how stupid it looks when i type out that label myself.
Also do NOT go to europe during trump ii unless you are planning to stay there or have a month set aside for your unlawful detainment/kidnapping after you return,
ESPECIALLY if you aren’t a heteronormative white guy who never had an organic or fact-informed opinion on anything unrelated to what genitalia someone has and how to persecute them on account of that while ignoring their actual merit, even while “merit” has become a bizarre code word for “heternormative white guy.”
Apart from THAT, the statement “the world awaits” assumes that climate-change related freak weather events caused by regulation cuts instituted by the same sort of people who want you locked up without explanation or justification don’t get your destination airport shut down for a prolonged length of time because it isn’t safe to fly through them and pog forbid the weather freakoff starts while the plane is in flight since air traffic controllers are getting laid off all over the place.

this picture is a lie. i have the computer open right now* and this space does not exist. i cannot extend my arms or open the screen fully without pulling the machine closer than that. The person in the photograph has two full window lengths of space. i have about 1.1, 1.2 MAYBE.
*it was right now when i wrote it but last month by right now
there is plainly not two windows per seat. even with the tray fully extended it is not possible to use the computer non-awkwardly, and forget about having any surface to use a mouse on. Thankfully I learned to use it against my right leg years ago in other uncomfortable locations. But after so long stuck on the plane during hours of delays with no place to charge it even if my charger weren’t stuck in my carry-on bag that got tossed into the baggage compartment by the staff anyway to cut 2 minutes off of the boarding process prior to the four hours of delays there isn’t enough battery left in the thing to use anyway except for awkwardly typing out some gripey notes.

i have NEVER had this facial expression while on an airplane, if ever. This is only plausible if it accompanies an internal realization that life has no meaning, reality is imaginary and leads directly to brazen criminal acts that i assume this presentation is not intended to endorse.

This journey was the first time i had to put in barely adequate earbudpodphones just to block out top 40 radio hits being pumped into the cabin prior to take-off. i assumed delta paid extra for the “right” to make my experience worse, but then the audio feed advertised spotify so maybe spotify paid for it. Somebody else paid somebody else to diminish the bearability of this situation. Soon after i heard mouth-whistling breaking through my block-out and was glad to be missing the full context. No corporation-approved music with whistling in it has ever been not awful. During the outgoing and return flights it was necessary to take a smaller, dinkitier airplane between Tallahassee and Atlanta. Most advertised features were missing on the smaller plane but it STILL had the crummy music imposed on passengers, though with shoddier, mufflier sound quality and I was unable to determine if it being harder to hear made the experience worse or better since I would still prefer just engine noise.

If you love a brand it is only because you do not know that brand because not one of them has any of your best or even good interests in mind. If you don’t own it, it aims to own you.
And I think having this awful rubbish presented to me is supposed to be a “perk” of the “sky miles” membership program that the trip organizer belongs to. I don’t know for certain that people in the back of the plane have access to these wonderful bonus advertisements for corporate mediocrity. I can verify that the wifi DID function but again there wasn’t much i could do with it in a cramped tiny space and hardly any battery left over except type out complaints, but LIVE to my pathetic discord chat server and wow jeeplies how exciting to get whining about airplane delays in REAL TIME.

wheeeeeee

Coca cola specifically is formulated to be drank rapidly and repeatedly and NOT savored, and possibly is the first consumer product that was. I drink coke, because the brand owns that piece of me. I don’t want it to, but i can taste when a similar drink is not coke. There is worse coke to have a chemical dependency on but better than worst is worse than good.
I do drink iced tea with more regularity than coke but foremost drink water and GOSH isn’t this fascinating to read about! And that is a bimshwel.com exclusive; i have never said that in the chat server. I need to provide incentives to not look at both.

popeye is considered public domain now so legally me showing pictures from the comic strips is not participating in corporate mediocrity
