Have US airports always been a concentrated dose of American dystopia or has it just been O'Hare and everything post-9/11?

Away from your sterile metallic Skinner Box condo? Need coffee but can't bear the thought of "interacting" with other "people" who might have a "personality" and subject you to "conversation"? Obtain coffee from one of our emotionless robot baristas - just like Wire Mom used to make!

@arclight My favorite pointless airport luxury are those little robotic glasses washers. Like you pop them in a little thing on a stand and watch a machine spray and dry them. It legitimately feels nice to put some sparkly fresh glasses on my face and I will use those things every time I see them.

@arclight Brawndo. It's what plants need.

Encounter a wild techbro in the airport? Don't worry - contact one of Austin Bergstrom Airport's Techbro Control Specialists who will bait one of our specially constructed techbro live traps with Claude tokens, capture, and harmlessly release the techbro at one of our server farms upstate
@arclight Ha! I wonder how often people get locked in those boxes. That would be funny.

@ai6yr Techbros have (re)invented the coffee vending machine, now with extra DSM-IV!

@arclight The incel magazine isn't supposed to outright say that it's an incel magazine.

@complexmath It's like a shoeshine for your glasses - so fancy!

Putting his pecker right out there…
(More #alt4you: photo shows an illuminated advert for men's underwear. The designs on the left and right leg come from the American flag. A bulge for the genitals is adorned with the head of a bird, probably (from context) an eagle, with a prominent beak. Hence my terrible pun.)

I haven’t flown since 2019. When I miss travel, I have a little list of things I reflect on to keep from getting sad: that time on Southwest when I was in the middle seat between two 300 pound guys, the NYT story about the airline with a bedbug problem, and now this.
In the past, I used to enjoy spending time in most airports, with the food and shopping and no pressure to do anything but catch my flight. But these sights you have here

@arclight So, this is why they call it a pecker?

@RVLara23 Guilty as charged. We are dumb as hell.

Have US airports always been a concentrated dose of American dystopia or has it just been O'Hare and everything post-9/11? Somehow Security was not the most disturbing source of decay and horror. Or maybe it was and I'm just numb to it.
@arclight Remember kids, if the consequence is a fine, it’s not illegal, there’s just a cost to doing business that you have to factor into what you charge for whacking people.

@ai6yr @arclight I'm really not getting it. It's not even private... If at least you couldn't see inside maybe I could kind of understand, but with that glass anyone can just walk up and stare in.
By the dull lighting on face thing they're advertising so gleefully I guess the only thing this is really good for is stuff like making video calls or something? Well, that definitely sounds like a techbro thing...
(And why 2700K? Only one person thinks that's good for face lighting...)

Techbro: "There are real, live people out there! TOO SCARY! MUST FIND PLACE TO HIDE! THE POORS! TOO MANY!"
