dog just read a book

All of those words have meanings that have nothing to do with sitting quietly on a flight in quiet meditation.

You: no bathroom breaks and staring at the ceiling of my flight like a true red-pilled warrior.

Me: steam deck and my entire library of pirated games and a bathroom break every hour.

Rawdogging fights means not wearing a mask in the barely ventilated space of the cabin. This article's concept for rawdogging makes no sense.

This was a Seinfeld bit in the 90s.

"Rawdogging" is perhaps the worst synonym for "meditating through" that I can think of. I'm sure dudes who rock will come up with something worse soon enough though.

Yeah I'm rawdogging flights:

High as fuck on valium, wishing the plane would stop shaking

This actually doesn't seem too bad. In a way it's like a mini digital detox. I don't really see anything wrong with it. Kinda weird to see ppl here acting like it's "psycho" to try this. Humans haven't had any kind of tech for 99.99% of their history, so kinda of just being alone with your thoughts has been the norm and what we basically evolved with. What's actually "psycho" is thinking that constantly having something entertaining at your call and beckon is normal. To anyone that thinks otherwise, take a deep breath, step back, and really look inward and do some self-crit.

It's only because it seems to be associated with red-pill stuff that ppl here seem to be so annoyed with it. If it was a marxist that advocated this, would ppl really be so upset? I could easily see Breht from Rev Left advocating for something like this. Honestly this just seems like "bad guy does stuff, so I don't like" shit. Once again, the western left is basically just "vibes" and "feels" in a weirdly idealist way.

I’ve been flying too much recently and, while I bring my deck and have plenty of other distractions prepared, I usually just put my noise canceling headphones on and zone out. With all the stress of travel and life in general I’m rarely in the headspace to engage with anything while flying, it’s nice to just kinda dissociate for a few hours. I’ll need some kind of stimuli for anything more than like 5-6 hours though.

I could totally see rawdogging a relatively short flight, the hardest part for me would just be the noise. It’s a bizarre thing to be proud of though, like it’s some masculine feat to sit still in quiet for a few hours? I understand the modern world has conditioned us away from that but you can absolutely choose to do it whenever. The true alpha gigachad move I wish more of these guys would do is just walk off into the wilderness and never return

I had to abandon my cell phone in the airport in order to make a flight home a few months back and the two flights I took, totaling about 5 hours were absolutely miserable. The people doing this are psychos.

“I don't think men have the same ‘treat culture’ that women do, which is frankly a shame,”

We used to lay on grass hills and stare at the clouds, now I die if I have to be alone with my thoughts for an hour

I did this by accident when I was 15. 9 hour flight. Solo. Films didn't download on my phone. Very cheap airline.

I got thirsty, they said they only take cash. I didn't have any cash. So they said I can only have a cup of boiling water.

Fun times.

What is it about journalism that if you pursue it you only get a job given you're the most insuferable person on earth?

#WeFuckPlanes #anthroplane #airsona #widebody

flying is fundamentally unpleasant, everyone's unhinged about and onboard an aircraft. we weren't meant to be on those devil machines, at least not in the concentrations and conditions that make them economical (and frankly i have a hard time imagining a private jet is much quieter).

no one's doing this stop it

when Ron DeSantis stared at the seatback in front of him for the entire duration of an 11(?) hour flight to "Israel", we all called him out as an inhuman monster with no internal monologue. now it's being normalized? like I understand if you want to dissociate but at least do it the old fashioned way with drugs and alcohol!

I have never cooked a dog on a plane. I don't think it's anything to be proud of. It really doesn't even come up.

reminds me of stuff i do because of/to cope with social anxiety/neurodivergent issues

This is a weird thing to identify as a trend lol, basically what I've been doing my whole life. Flight is just a good time to stare into nothingness and think about what you have done

Something something, politics, sexual pathology, and scho on.

What's up with men and their fetish with absolutely annihilating their brains

Right in the tailpipe

If planes have those

This is absolutely freak shit. Dudes may rock, but not these ones.

inventing Buddhist meditation practices from first principles

I always fly with protection, you just don't know where that plane has been. Might even be a 737, yeck.
