Can we just fucking delete tiktok already?

Wish I could. After 6 hours, I couldn’t move my legs to get up if I wanted to. Just talked to the doctor. I need L4-L5-S1 fusion now and likely L1-L2 and /or L2-L3 in a decade or so.

“no more people telling you about their religious convictions because they engaged you in conversation and found out you do scientific research”

Hey, those alpha bros can repeat the whole “look how tough I am” schtick with the kidney stones they’ll earn themselves.

Perhaps I’m the only ignorant bastard who needed to Google SEMA to find out what it was, but I kinda doubt it. This is why it’s cool to write out acronyms on first use.

ya, Biden / Harris are trying to stop the sale of those brand new 1957 Chevy Bell Airs and 1932 Duce Coupes. Oh god what will we do with such tyranny.

Eh, in all my years of long-haul flights, I’ve seen plenty of people do it without any issues even if it’s drier in the cabin. The stupid part is when people take on these TikTok “challenges” and behave differently that they normally would. A regular traveler who doesn’t feel like having a drink ≠ some dumb kid who is…

In high school I learned about propaganda. I wish those lessons had been taught to or understood by everyone, because we are in the thick of it now. One of the cornerstones of democracy is a free press, and ours has been undermined and/or co-opted by one political party in particular. And I’m sorry, the degree of…

Not drinking water on a long-haul flight isn’t a nothing burger; it’s stupid.

The Guardian did an article on this and they said it was specifically an “alpha-male” thing to prove how macho they are.  So you can add some toxic masculinity to their wall-staring.

Depending on all sorts of factors, a DVT can absolutely, positively kill you. At least, that’s what the vascular specialist explained to me as he prepared to deal with the DVT my ex had gotten in her legs after not moving around at all on a flight.

Reading through this, my first thought was that they basically just described what it was like to fly pre-smart phones, but without a book and needing to pee more. 

Basically, instead of listening to music, reading a book or watching a movie on a flight, some flyers are choosing to skip all that in favor of simply watching the flight map until they land.

Oh Gee... you’re telling me an organization that puts on a car show where most of the participants are people with lots of money and no taste happens to be extremely politically conservative?

I’m shocked!!

Blinding blue LED headlights and gunshot fart can mufflers 4evah!

You move all the time when you sleep.

This is mind bogglingly stupid. Just read a book, drink water and walk to other end of the plane once or twice.  The idiocy people do because they saw it on TikTok. 

If you think you wake up in the same position you were in when you fell asleep, you really ought to set up a camera to find out just how much people move in their sleep.

I unintentionally raw dogged a 15 hour flight. Got stuck in a window seat in coach and the people in the middle and aisle fell asleep during take off. 15 hours stuck in that window seat. When I went to get out of the seat, my legs didn’t work for a bit.

Everything has to be a trend I guess. This one is particularly dumb. Look people, if you want to feel belonging to something, join a club and stop making humanity look bad.
