Remember when the assholes at United overbooked a flight and sent someone to knock a doctor's teeth out and carry him off a plane? The doctor refused since he was on his way to oversee the opening of a clinic he founded for veterans.

He and his wife started the clinic as a way to thank American servicemen and women, because he was plucked out of ocean waters by the U.S. Navy as he fled communism in his home country of Vietnam about 44 years ago, he said.

Fuck United Airlines.

United will kill your dog, bust up your guitar, and knock down and drag out your doctor. They've made the headlines for all three of those. And the guitar guy made a song about United.

Unfortunately, the other airlines aren't much better.

I wonder how long it will be before they start giving discounts on tickets for interacting with the ads a certain number of times during the flight.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Never. The whole ad craze is there to milk profits on top of the things you already paid for.

What you are suggesting would actually be a more fair system.

Free with ads or paid with no ads.

Asshole corporations want paid and ads.

Airlines in America really suck, I feel like we have much better options here in Europe

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Yup.

My last flight a year ago was so bad I'm just going to drive from now on. I don't care if I have to take an extra day of PTO.

The Ad Algorithm

It knows when you are sleeping It knows when you're awake It knows when you've been bad or good So consume for goodness sake

Fuck this.

nodding off? time for a bright ad with super saturation and lots of brightness variability, they'll strobe you into paying attention.

how much do you have to pay to turn the fucking thing off?
