    Oh, how I would enjoy the discussion that would follow. And oh, how they would not.

    Seems to me the obvious solution is to unplug your headphones. Put the stuggles-with-consent-like-the-rest-of-them fame seeker (how pious) on the defensive and force the airline to make a decision.

    I will start spouting old Cult of Nugget talking points from my DayZ RP server days in response.

    “Behold, for we embark on this trip in the Nugget’s crispy glow. Ye, this vessel is blessed for it is very much like a fry basket, and we are all made in the image of the holy basket. If we fail to reach our destination fear not friends, for we will joint our fellow morsals on the eternal counter of complete orders. All hail the holy Nugget, all glory to the deep fryer which embraces us in it’s eternal warmth. Please open your menu’s to the brunch section, and let us pray. Oh holy Nugget, I owe you everything. For I was hungry and you gave me a fluffy breaded exterior. My fingies were dry and you gave me oil. My nostrils bored and you gave them aromas. My brain big sad and you gave me an endorphin hit. In Nugget’s name we pray. Hooray.”

    “Having a religion is much like having a penis. It’s all well and good to have one, and one can even be proud of it. However, when you whip it out in public and bandy it about to my face, we will have problems.”

      That’s why I prefer traveling by car. Public transport in theory is ice, but in practice it is ruined by obnoxious people.

    Fuck that. I’d be the first one to shout “SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!” if someone started preaching on my flight. Stupid arrogant motherfuckers think they can do whatever they want.

    Could one carefully and quietly piss down the back of their (the preacher’s) leg while they’re doing this?

    First line “there is now an epidemic of” An Epidemic!? Really? An epidemic. Like so many it’s a problem?

    I fly a lot, and my whole team for work flies a lot. Never heard of this once.

    Also - better than what Islam does.

    I say lean into it. Praise Jesus so loudly and obnoxiously that the preacher themselves asks you to tone it down a notch.

        Yes this reads like the cherry picking shit right wing media does. Something happens once and it’s reported as an epidemic.

          Or there are 30 people that do something and all the sudden there is a HUGE group that needs to be paid attention too.

          Or where 40,000 people cross the US think XYZ is no a meaningful part of the population that has to be addressed.
