(I don\u2019t think I want larger than life-size porn though.)<\/p>\n<p>One of the use cases Apple shows, is a guy on a plane. That one rang true for me personally.<\/p>\n<p>I was once watching a movie on my phone with headphones on a plane and the lady sitting next to me angrily flipped <strong>my<\/strong> <strong>phone<\/strong> face down on my tray. When I looked at her and asked WHAT THE FUCK?<\/p>\n<p>Her reply was she was a Christian woman and she didn\u2019t agree with my choice of movie. She apparently couldn\u2019t keep her eyes off my phone&#8217;s screen.<\/p>\n<p>Okay I was watching \u201c<em>From Dusk to Dawn<\/em>\u201d but she didn\u2019t have to be looking at my phone. I asked the flight attendant if I could change seats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I couldn\u2019t as the flight was full.<\/p>\n<p>I was in the aisle seat. I decided in the interest of just getting through the flight, I&#8217;d switch over to music. Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t get the wired earbuds loud enough to drown out her proselytizing for the next 4 hours.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"airline-passenger-annoyances-PASSSTUDY0322-52987af42fc94a5f8ffca178fd15d577.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/airline-passenger-annoyances-PASSSTUDY0322-52987af42fc94a5f8ffca178fd15d577.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\" \/>I\u2019d have gone to sleep, but this woman had some bladder condition that had her getting up every 20 minutes, and was adamantly opposed to switching seats, after all, she had a captive audience to bring to Jesus. At one point she accused me of trying to drown her, and Jesus\u2019s word, out with the devils music.<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cYes I\u2019m trying to drown you out because you will not shut up. You crawl over me every 20 minutes to go to the bathroom, you might want to get that checked out by a doctor not a faith healer, and you are literally annoying the hell out of me. However, I hardly think Vivaldi is the devils music.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At which point I ordered a bourbon from the flight attendant. It was 9 AM and the bourbon was one of the few I freakin hate. This of course started a whole new and unwanted sermon. I kept drinking and wondered when the last time her husband had just fucked the hell out of her, among many other unkind thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>If we\u2019d been on an exit row, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019d have been able to restrain myself from popping the hatch at 35,000 feet, and sending her straight to Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKarens\u201d are not a new phenomena, they were just recently emboldened by fear of an imaginary plague. BTW, all those \u201cKarens\u201d that came out of the woodwork\u2026 Remember they are the same bitches that would turn you over to the Gestapo in Germany, The HOA&#8217;s across America, Or the Inquisition in medieval Europe. There was a reason politicians in various places established phone numbers to turn in non compliant people during COVID. They knew the \u201cKarens\u201d would light those phone lines up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKarens&#8221; are the killers of Buzz, Fun, and Joy. They\u2019re the &#8220;Enforcers\u201d who gossip, and bitch constantly, their way is the only way and they think nothing of leaving &#8220;depression suicides&#8221; in their wake. They\u2019ll take no responsibility for pushing someone one step too far. \u201cKarens\u201d are simply the adult versions of the \u201cMean Girls\u201d from high schools.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re the ones who get your kids kicked out of school because of a sticker on your car, they\u2019re the cunts that get you thrown out of a store, bar, or restaurant because you\u2019re not wearing a diaper on your face.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re the bitches who complain about your motorcycle or the motorcycle of your friend who stays the night once in a while. They\u2019re the ones who call a tow company at 3 am to have your friend\u2019s motorcycle, their sole source of transportation, removed, and they\u2019ll tell whatever LIE they have to, so they can get their way.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re the ones who are so busy ignoring their own life and trying to insinuate themselves into your life, that when they realize their children hate them, their husbands left them, and they\u2019re hated everywhere they go\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Then they\u2019ll blame YOU because you took so much time out of their day trying to maintain control over you.<\/p>\n<p>These rancid cunts are not gone, they just crawled back into the woodwork waiting for another \u201cCause\u201d for which they can become the unasked for \u2018Champions\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve often wondered if misogynists, like racists, aren\u2019t born\u2026 They\u2019re built! Step by step, incident by incident, cut by cut, manipulation by manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not there yet. But upon reflection, especially after the COVID years I\u2019m a lot closer to either \u201cIST\u201d than I\u2019d like, or ever thought I\u2019d be.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I suspect that general feeling is why so many people lose themselves in gaming, VR, and sitting behind computer screens.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s way easier to NOT have to engage with shitty people than to have to learn to deal with them.<\/p>\n<p>For me, if I was flying a lot, or if I was living, as my parents want me to, in their spare bedroom. \u00a0I\u2019m pretty sure that I\u2019d plunk down the 3500.00 for Apple Vision to avoid having to have screens or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Living in my parents house though, I know they\u2019d never let me enjoy a movie. They\u2019re like the lady on the plane, they need constant attention.<\/p>\n<p>Listening to music or a podcast at my parents house while they\u2019re watching some TV program that I\u2019m not interested in, is forbidden. My Mother can\u2019t stand the thought of me not hearing the screaming shrews on <em>The View.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you listening to?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arctic Monkeys<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven&#8217;t\u2019 heard of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoll it back, what did Sonny Hostin just say?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even going into another room requires a ping every 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the 3500.00 wouldn\u2019t be a good investment after all, living with the parents.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"disgusting fatass.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/disgusting-fatass.jpg\" alt=\"Disgusting fatass.\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" border=\"0\" \/>I don\u2019t fly anymore. I\u2019ll admit it\u2019s because I don\u2019t want to deal with shitty people, or the TSA, or late flights, or the ridiculous price of food and drink inside the airport, or the flights bouncing across the country landing every hour or two so they don\u2019t have to provide in flight food, or the narrow ass seats, or being trapped next to some sweaty fat person who smells like a rotting whale carcass and knowing I\u2019m never going to be able to get out of my seat to take a piss.<\/p>\n<p>I doubt that Apple Vision at \u00a03500.00 could assuage all the reasons I don\u2019t fly anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure I can see a case for me owning an Apple Vision thingy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"applestore robbery.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/applestore-robbery.jpeg\" alt=\"Applestore robbery.\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" border=\"0\" \/>Maybe, I\u2019ll try one on the next time I\u2019m in an Apple Store.
