First, some people seem to talk quite loudly into their phone. Dunno the ratio, 1 out of 20 or 40?
The second is, if you are sitting beside someone, and they talk to you, your attention is of course focused on them. It doesn't matter that the person beside you is talking, because your attention is focused there on purpose. Yet, if a person beside you is talking on a phone, like right beside you, it is hard to ignore.
Now imagine people on both sides, and behind you and in front of you talking. Some loudly.
On a plane, usually there are not that many people contantly talking.
So now you've stuck in a tiny seat, for hours and hours, with all these people talking, loudly, constantly.
Worse, it's all gibberish, all only one side of a conversation. Basically people just spewing random sentences.
One requires 2 people in person to engage, and is usually projected in a general direction which limits sounds. The other, only 1 person has to be present and sound may go in any direction.
Alternatively, an irl conversation has two talkers which doubles noise, has to be louder than someone on a phone because you're taking to a receiver further away, and both conversers have to be directing sound in the direction of where people are, as opposed to a phone which can be used while directing sound at e.g. the wall
This horse has been beaten dead over and over. Captain Joe and other airline pilots admitted that it's all about the airlines controlling passengers' attention through deception, and has nothing to do with safety.
At cruise altitude, mobile devices are too far away from towers to operate, so only ground and takeoff/landing ops would be usable externally. It would be more efficient to have femtocells for major carriers onboard relayed to ground stations.
Half of Americans won't get vaccinated. 2/3 or more aren't listening to the muddled, mealy-mouth messages that change every other day. Some people are still wearing masks where it doesn't matter (outside) and others refuse. It's a public health disaster created by bad leadership.
The plastics industry pushed recycling (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as an individual's duty to return piles of packaging and single-use items, not the manufacturer's, to subtly shift the blame for microplastics and plastic pollution.
How it would've worked in the 1930's: Mandatory vaccines by social forces. No vaccine, get shunned and shut-out of stores, social gatherings, and commerce. No comfort animals or religious dodges. Do what's right, not because of a Rand Paul grandstanding tantrum or tribal conspiracy theories about freedumbs, but because of common sense and scientific evidence.
It's the women who are shallow because of the premise and captology of Tinder. It's working as intended. If you're not a super attractive man (a model), then you're wasting your time on Tinder.
They're impetuous children who need to be held down and injected for the safety of others. They can't smoke indoors either. Too bad for them if they don't get with the program of protecting lives.
