  • They’ve gone down massively, I save enough flying budget to the US with only a rucksack to allow me to eat out every night of my first week and that’s just compared to inclusive old fashioned style tickets - which by the way are still the most common option. My whole holiday normally costs less than the ticket price did 25 years ago, plus I fly from the most local Airport to the most local to my accommodation which saves time and money.

    If you don’t like us poors having options then sorry, you’re welcome to pay considerably more for a shitty microwave meal and excess luggage you don’t really need but I will be packing a sandwich, sitting a little uncomfortably, in whatever seat is given, using my phone instead of an in seat entertainment system, and not taking heaps of needless stuff.

    Personally I’d love if they introduced flexible tickets where I book and they fit me on whatever flight has room within a window of a few days, and I’d love those double decker seats they invented to fit more people, racked compartments you lay in like a Japanese hotel would be amazing too if it fit more people on and lowered the shared cost of the flight.


  • Peer reviewed science gets overturned by other peer reviewed science all the time, the other person also had peer reviewed science so you don’t get to just wave yours and win.

    And yes your agenda is very obvious, you take the side of not wanting to be in a nuclear war - I think that’s pretty much a universally agreed upon position.

    However you also have another facet to your opinion which is almost as universally disagreed with as your other position is agreed with - you think that science should be falsified so it seems to provide answers which suit your social and political aims rather than it being an effort to understand the world and reach a truthful and valid conclusion.

    You were very aggressive and rude to someone who did nothing more than provide more context and dissenting evidence in a discussion about science, that’s not a good way to behave.

    You’re not talking to serious people, their anticop mentality stems from.sensoble thoughts like "corrupt cops are bad’ and ‘the system is often unfair’ but spirals into a dogmatic hero fantasy where they get to kill people they dislike and win every gunfight just like the movies of the old west.

    Of course those stories of noble outlaws doing right by the people are fantasy and the reality is a mass of cruelty, rape, theft, murder and violence. They have this idea that they’ll be the tough guy with a gun who can live life however they please because they don’t have compassion for other humans, not the old, sick, weak, and certainly not women, children, or those the work hard to live a good life.

    They think that you’re weak for wanting an official body who’s job it is to enforce the rules of society because they love to imagine themselves as an untouchable hero that doesn’t need rules, also they love the idea of people needing them for safety - a woman being able to live somewhat safely through a system of laws and justice upsets them because they’d love to be the strong man with a gun that women have to keep happy and near if they want protection.

    Every anarchist autonomous no cops zone instantly gets a gang that act like cops without any of the hard fought and long studied protections for the people - and bigger areas where law governments collapse get lots of these gangs who all fight each other… thousands of years of shitty history lead to the development of established and regulated police forces - yes they’re far from perfect but we need to work on improving them, adding oversight and better training, new systems and organizational structures.
