I mean, adjusted for inflation a plane ticket from New York to London in 1980 would cost about $4,500 dollars today. It's not that air travel has got worse. It's democratised. If you pay the 'old' price in modern money you basically get the same, if not better, experience than you did then.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

I'm not sure why we're posting about ai but I don't use AI in my writing, in my cover art, etc. I've had every feature that could automatically modify text in Word turned off for decades, and AI is just more of the same. Every edit lovingly done by hand.

The Simpsons’ spoof James Bond episode ‘You Only Move Twice’ was first broadcast in November 1996, which means it’s closer in time to the release of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE than it is to the present day. More news on how ancient we all are as we get it.

It's not infantilising anyone to have boundaries or rules for your table as GM. Its establishing minimum levels of respect for other players and the experience.
