Fellas, there's no point arguing with the flight attendants about wireless signal safety. Just smile and lie that you've switched it to airplane mode.

Yea, they just have to enforce it, not make sensible rules. Just let them do their jobs in peace and go petition the relevant aviation authorities if it bothers you that much.

Nah, fuck that. Anarchy forever. People should break pointless rules. But they should also lie about it when it's a hill this pointless to die on.

Oh no I agree, feel free to break that rule, just don't make it the flight staff's problem.

What a pleasant exchange.

Just one question, can dragons give consent?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Some can. There's lots of different kinds of dragons across the multiverse. Drag's engaged to marry a dragon who is entirely capable of speech, reasoning, and consent.

it's not for safety anyway, it's to prevent the cell towers on the ground overloading when 200 phones connect and then disconnect in a second.
