    I’m struggling to get what’s being a man has to do with this. Why is gender and labels always shoved where it doesn’t need to be? It’s so weird.

    I met all kinds of people who talk like this. This is not exclusive to a type. This is human. The obsession with attaching labels to our humanity is weird and can turn toxic.

    Just say humans are simple.

      It’s just a way to feel better than someone else, but without having to do anything to actually be better.

    I’ve seen this exact image except the plane was at a completely different angle. At least one of these (and likely both) is a total lie

      Please no, plane pings are kinda annoying

      Maybe once to say hi to a friend but beyond that it’s so one way

    Always wanted to do something like this but you can’t send messages on the plane, your phone has to be in flight mode

      Lots of planes have in-flight wi-fi these days, so instant messages are fine. Looks like iMessage in the OP, so I’ll rate it as plausible!

        Ah, you’re right, that might be possible — I’ve never flown a plane like this so didn’t consider it

        Wdym fuck em. They kindly ask you to turn your phone into flight mode, likely because it might interfere with the plane’s communication system and cause safety problems. What have they done wrong to you, they’re just doing their job of providing you a safe flight

          It’s not going to interfere with the flight. In 35 years of ubiquitous cell phones, and 45,000 flights per day, has a plane crash ever been attributed to one? If a single cell phone could bring down a plane, they’d be totally banned from society.

          At the very least, they would hold them until you got off the flight. They search us, X-ray us, frisk us, make us take off shoes, belts, confiscate water, shampoo, etc., but they let every single person on with a trigger to bring down the plane, as long as they promise to put it in airplane mode? Sure, that will stop every terrorist.

          Grow up, and don’t belong everything they tell you. In fact, don’t believe ANYTHING they tell you. Use your Critical a Thinking Skills, and don’t ever be afraid to tell some pushy, insistent asshole to fuck all the way off.

          People not asserting themselves by rejecting bullshit is what has brought us here.

      Not in flight mode, but you can sometimes get a connection during approach when you’re low enough. Flight mode really just prevents your phone from wasting energy trying to reach cell towers that aren’t in range. It’s not like you have to use it.

      Also in-flight wifi with satellite interent is becoming more common.
