we used to be able to smoke on flights

They still have trans movies on flights.

The A team, the Fall guy, Baywatch, Terminator, Predator. I didn’t live in the USA at the time but this was the finest era. Still the best country in the world but a lot of things have been lost including the joy.

What changed G? Just the money or something more?

The first time I flew, my parents literally just dropped me off at the airport with a ticket in hand. I was maybe 9. I flew several states over to visit my grandma. Then I flew back. All alone. Ain't no way that'd be allowed now.

back when they cooked shit in lard instead of seed oils (canola)

Perda de liberdade é uma perda silenciosa, como diz Epiteto, o que importa é o que está em nosso poder.

Now the friendly skies meal is Birdie’s microplastic laden bottled water, Ronald’s two adderall pack and Grimace’s ozempic on board jab (tm)

Bro this is what they stole from us https://blossom.primal.net/5189114c2a368a0bf25c7495bfd427a048e2357e1004d069a4ea678192731961.jpg

It's a damn shame. But it needs to get a lot worse to get any better.

I felt the this through my soul

Didn’t fly a ton as a kid but I don’t recall it being much better than now. My kids get their own personal movies, Mrs. Doubtfire being a regular selection. Food at the lounge is better than a McD happy meal, and there’s a shuffleboard. I think they have more fun than I did if I’m being hone...

In the 50s you could walk onto a plane with a revolver and smoke cigarettes the whole flight

Hi HODL https://yakihonne.com/profile/nprofile1qqspjlvrmklej7w2jkqmslxw74hlu56wqw6674we4zxr0axmlspds3czyqvhmq7ah7vhnj54sxu8enh4dll9xnsrkkh4tkdg3smlfkluqtvywqcyqqqqqqqdaccqt Just started a new page .. please follow if ul like it..

And that was after 25+ years of completely debased fiat, and 90+ years since we got sold out by Woodrow Wilson to the empire we declares independence from. Imagine how much more was lost even before we were born.

don't recall the happy meals, but I distinctly recall watching Kindergarten Cop on a United flight. I also remember the smoking sections.

I saw Mrs Doubtfire for the first time last week, and while I expected some politically anachronistic jokes, I still dropped my jaw when Robin Williams said “I can’t work with boys because I used to be one”.

Nostalgia is a helluva drug. Pass that shit this way.

I assume you know the Mrs. Doubtfire rabbit hole 🐰

I remember how fresh mcdonalds tasted in those styrofoam containers - now its just a soggy mess.
