I also want to punch MAGAs and their dorky red hats, but you don't really get to tell them to remove them. That's their dumb fucking choice. Not worth getting booted off a plane for. Your energy would be better spent walking past them multiple times during the flight to fart.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Of note, there's articles of people being thrown off flights for Palestine related garb. Agree with all you said but the airlines are clearly splitting hairs
I am reminded of Benjamin Franklin's "Fart Proudly"
Remember, they want to tell others what to wear and how to live - the least we can do is treat them the way they want to treat others.
Maybe, maybe not.
On an airplane is absolutely bad place to start shit.
Protip: when you're on an airplane, the pilot will consider "can I keep everyone safe".
If no, they will have whomever removed they deem necessary to proceed safely.
You have 0 say in this decision. The decision will not be reversed. Causing a scene will make it worse for you (think no-fly).
On a plane? Pipe down. STFU. Get to your destination.
Then, after you get to your destination, punch a Nazi or two.
Currahee!
Wait are you saying I'm not special?
The customer is king, the passenger... Peasant
The investor is king now.
premium economy
You can only pick one of these
On most carriers this is code for "coach, but it's an exit row so we'll charge extra for the legroom."
No, it isn't.
There are different names for different airlines, like economy plus or extra. Usually it means something like a bit bigger seats (usually not lie flat though), a less crowded section, better food, etc.
On domestic US flights, the “premium economy” tier is just an economy seat with an extra few inches of legroom, and sometimes complimentary alcohol. It might also be a refundable ticket if you buy it up front as opposed to as an upgrade. That’s all
It's what 'economy' used to be 25 years ago.
No? More space, better position in the plane, better boarding group, generally better refund policy, better miles accrual
Edit what's the downvotes? Each thing is a more premium version of the basic economy.
Because they're not premium features they're just somewhat less shit.
Premium would be hookers and blow.
That's silly and not seen anywhere in the commercial flight market
Position in the place for example there's only so much plane and there's food space and bad. "Somewhat less shit" is a short rope as there's only so many rows, and since are better than others.
Being able to refund is clearly premium.
Etc etc
Semantics.
Material, physical changes to the customer experience.
You're literally getting a different seat as a product, or a different relationship with the purchase, as a service.
I'm not simping for the airline here, but it's literally different (and stupidly more expensive)
If I say that receiving 2 olives on my side salad instead of 1 is "a premium experience", it's not possible to prove that assertion false but it makes the word premium completely meaningless in any practical way.
My point is, I'm not going to argue with you about your definition of premium.
Well it's clearly described what you get. It's not just "more".
It's like you didn't read my comment.
I'm allowed to further discuss the on topic subject, especially as clarification of my point.
Edit you minimized the discussion to quantitative "more olives", and I clarified my position as being more than that, and that the definition of premium is a known thing.
If you are all set, stop replying. I promise you I wouldn't double reply to repull you.
Edit also you entered this conversation debating what "premium" is so don't act like that's invalid discussion.
Preview of Tuesday.
Right? I worry for the US.. and the rest of the world. A lot.
Its not going to be a good...rest of the year. Regardless of who wins, honestly. A kamala win just defines the specific way it will be shitty distinct from the shittiness of a Trump win.
I hope a Kamala win results in a boot on the neck of the fascists that have propped up Trump.. but they will probably do nothing. And let is fester.
Grown-ass people behaving like children.
LOL let them wear MAGA hats if they want, it just flags them as idiots.
There's a guy at work who wears a MAGA hat all the time. I often think about telling him I want nothing to do with him liking a fucking Nazi but have to be civil and polite because he also acts the same way. It fucking sucks I can't tell him what I really think because we're in a professional setting and it would be stupid to start something up.
If he's bringing politics into the workplace, that's unprofessional behavior, and he should be reported to HR.
And just because you work together doesn't mean you have to be friends. Only talk to him when it's strictly necessary and ignore him otherwise, and he'll probably eventually get the hint that you don't like him.
...he'll probably eventually get the hint that you don't like him.
You give them far too much credit.
True. I even added the "probably" after writing it for that reason, but that's still giving them too much benefit of the doubt.
My job is also pulling the stupid "no political discussion because all opinions need to be respected" bullshit
The opinion: immigrants should be deported, queer people killed, and women's lives entirely controlled by men
I'd rather just everyone be professional and I never have to know what they think politically. If only....
Just start wearing a "make fascists afraid again" hat and let him do the escalation (or something more subtle if necessary in your workplace)
At my company, is have to tell that guy he can't wear that hat because we don't allow people to wear political stuff. I'm not a fan of dress codes, but I'm a fan of that one.
Agreed. My condo complex doesn't allow flags or signs. We're allowed holiday-appropriate door wreaths and that's it. I'm wicked glad I don't have to know my neighbors' politics.
I hate it all. The hats, the flags, the yard signs, etc. But I also love them because I easily know the people I don't want to be around and will never trust. The only thing more identifying is a badge.
I never knew Maga actual means something. Always thought it was some stupid they decided to use.
Both can be right at the same time
Whatever you think about Trump, the person that demanded the other person remove their hat because they didn't like it was in the wrong.
Yeah wearing hats indoors should not be allowed.
I agree. But nobody cares. You must be as old as I am.
