a lot of people self medicate beforehand as well. I have one friend who avoids flying if its remotely possible and if he has to fly does it drunk and with a buddy so that flight attendants aren't stuck with him. My other friend has to fly for work reasonably often just pays for the seat upgrade and adds pills to the mix and wakes up where he's going. To be fair to him he was fine with flying until his friend since old times died in a plane crash.

My wife and I were flying to Hawaii and we had to turn around after half way due to engine failure. Never been so glad to be in first class with a bottle of xanax.

Why did they turn back if they were past the halfway point? Wouldn't it be safer to travel the shortest distance?

I always find flying to be zen as hell, because either I’m getting where I’m going or I’m not and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it so why worry It’s like the one thing I can control my anxiety over lol

I even like the ding dong before announcements. I like the feel of the air. It makes me nostalgic for childhood holidays. And these days I like being forced to use flight mode. E: oh and the views, obviously. I don't mind airports either, I like having a set route you have to walk round.

There's no greater punishment for your sins than to be stuck in an airport waiting with no idea how long the wait will be. The real fun starts when security and restaurant staff all leave for the night and the cleaning crew comes out and you start wondering if anyone even remembers you're there.

I once got flown to an entirely different city because the flight got delayed so long that we couldn't land at our destination bc of noise curfews They got us a loving overnight greyhound for the rest of the trip lmao To be fair, the train didn't do that, the bridge did

I hate flying and generally feel like I'm about to have a breakdown even before I get on the plane just from the extreme amount of waiting and invasive security poo poo at airports. I can very much understand why people with legit mental illness constantly snap and flip out on planes. I think the real shocking thing is how many people don't lose their poo poo on planes, because flying god drat sucks. You've paid like $1400 to wait around in an airport for 2 hours after people take nude pictures of you and root around in your underwear, then you're stuck on a cramped metal tube for 10 hours with a wailing baby 2' from your ear. Within the first few hours half the bathrooms are out of order for some reason with perpetual lines. And you're almost certainly going to get sick. Once you finally actually land you find out they lost your luggage again. At least the food is usually pretty ok. That's the one complaint I never understand, I've always had pretty fine to actually good food on flights. I do love seaplanes though. None of the security theatre poo poo, you just show up 30 min before your flight, hop on, and you're at your destination in like 15-30 min. Fly low enough for an amazing view the whole time. A bit bumpy. Also since they usually fly downtown to downtown you can walk to the seaplanes and then walk from them. It's cool being able to visit seattle or vancouver and never use any sort of ground vehicle. Baronjutter has a new favorite as of 18:18 on Jul 11, 2023 |

Would love to have shitloads of passenger rail in the US but I do love flying too. I love looking out the window. I love being in the big weird machine that makes absurd levels of force to whisk me through the air smoothly like an ancient deity while I just chill and do whatever the hell. Even as a tall person with long legs it’s pretty great overall

I just take a single weed gummy and that's enough to kick in by the time I get to the airport, and last until I'm at least on the plane and in the air. Though I guess there are some people that are just too midwestern to do a weed, (it's legal in Massachusetts) so they just jump straight to crystal meth and stuff like this happens.

I call this 'stagnant chaos' - things are constantly happening but none of it matters to you. Add to that most airports have awful acoustics and are packed with loud and/or invasive advertising. While you're up in the air you're at least getting closer to your destination.

I used to take the Amtrak from VA to NYC all of the time and it loving rocked because the six hours on the train wasn’t that much longer than dealing with the whole airport rigamarole, plus you disappear under the Hudson and ten minutes later you walk up some stairs and you’re in the middle of Manhattan Then on our last trip the conductor got on the intercom 20 minutes after leaving the station to announce that someone had taken a poo poo in the bathroom sink and we wouldn’t have a bathroom on our car for the rest of the trip That was cool Content:

well yes but actually you're forgetting about having to share your cabin with 3 other strangers, 2 of which are drunk and wont shut the gently caress up, and another elderly gentlemen who doesn't stop farting throughout the night, and then you think "oh I can just go to the train bar and hang out there" then you meet some crazy bulgarian dude who just opened a coffeeshop in amsterdam and I should totally check it out I'm gonna check it out right yeah totally I'm totally gonna go yes please share your contact details and socials and make sure I follow your lovely instagram page sure dude sure
