Honestly thanks for getting it, I expected the odd parent to take some weird personal offence at me wanting an option to not fly with kids around and get all defensive, but I didn't expect quite this level of vitriol. It's not like I want them to not fly, like it seems is the suggested solution for me—or y'know the practical solution of chartering a bloody private jet(?!). I just want to sleep on a 14h overnight flight by removing myself from the situation preventing it, and will even (or rather, actually tried to) spend a bit more to do so, but clearly that's just me being an entitled arsehole.

Cheers for the great resource, it's a shame there's only a few options currently, but perhaps the list will grow. Tbh even just explicitly quiet zones being more prevalent would probably be a good solution for me. There are quiet carriages on pretty much all the trains in my country that don't even cost extra, and I've never seen young children in those. That's never seemed like a remotely controversial idea—I'm basically just looking for an equivalent for planes.

Agree on the ANC comment too, I've had top of the range Sony, Bose and Google ANC headphones and none can actually get rid of kid noise like screaming, they'll distort it a bit maybe. If anything the cancelling of the plane engine noise can emphasise it at times because it's the only thing that makes it through.

Gonna ignore the wild slippery slope fallacy you just pulled up there.

I didn't say they need to fuck off and not fly, like the other guy. I just would go for an option where I have a better chance of sleeping. There are plenty of other adult-only spaces that are entirely not controversial, why not a handful of flights?

Cool, that's a mature reaction, just get angry rather than entertain the idea of considering others.

Well I paid up from economy, but that wasn't enough apparently, the free booze helps but as you say it's no guarantee.

Well kinda said I wasn't looking to rant about this part, but okay:

When the child is two seats over, my loops are not helping. When another child is running up and down the aisle every 20 mins, ear plugs aren't the solution either.

I simply would not choose a flight where the majority of people would be trying to sleep if I were a parent. I would not want to put myself in a situation where it could even happen, no one wants to be mortified and on a long flight it approaches certainty.

A screaming child on a 4h middle-of-the-day flight is annoying but bearable. Screaming children on a double-digit hour overnight flight ruins many people's days.

RetroAchievements has been going for a while now for several cartridge based consoles, I think anyone can define achievements (though there's a fair level of skill required to do this), and then the community self moderates beyond that. They have a load of guidelines around what constitutes a good achievement

Those attorneys must be laughing to the bank.

A frozen 2024 corpse is still a corpse and very unlikely to ever be otherwise. If it's not entirely dead before going into the freezer it definitely will be after.

Funny all these "feminists" are cozying up to actual, unabashed misogynists

They're just bigots trying to court sympathy
