  • who here has flown recently

    I have a life question
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    I've flown in the last year, does that count?

    I flew to Denver and back about 3 weeks ago, myself.
  • OK

    first of all, I bought my tickets online, and it kinda seems like all I have to do is show up with a receipt and valid ID, does this sound right?

    secondly, what can you take on a plane in terms of electronics? I wanted to bring at least my phone and 3DS along.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    Yeah, usually you can just print out the email you get back and that's your ticket. If you print out the wrong thing there's usually a kiosk you can use to print what you need.

    As for electronics, nobody cares as long as they're in airplane mode for takeoff and landing

    What Bunny said. As far as electronics, basically anything goes, with the caveats that (a) you can't use the cell phone network while the plane is in the air, and (b) bigger things like laptops have to be put away during takeoff and landing.

    And yeah, you should be able to take that printout to the check-in counter where they'll get you your boarding pass. The boarding pass is what you have to show at the TSA checkpoint, where they'll check the name on the pass against your photo ID.
  • OK.

    Thank you, Bun.

    and Alice.

    Also, this probably goes without saying, but Chicago's airports are notoriously busy and you're gonna want to leave yourself LOTS of extra time to get through security, for your return trip.
  • I plan on getting to Philly about 4 hours beforehand, do you think that'll be enough on the return trip too?

    maybe I should go even earlier...
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

    Are you going O'Hare or Midway? I've heard horror stories about Midway lately, but in my experience that should be enough time for O'Hare...
  • uhhhh lemme check my ticket, I actually have forgotten.

    I think O'Hare.

    PHL is Philly.

    The airport in Chicago is gonna be either ORD or MDW.
  • "The ORD" sounds like the macguffin in a roguelike.

    ORD is O'Hare, so you should be good.

    I love Autism Horse so much
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    ORD is Type-Mercury's little sister.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    ...Autism Horse?

    ...Autism Horse?

    She's obsessed with geology and has a hard time talking to anyone about anything that's not rock-related

    It's great
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    oh, a real rocker!

    My experience with airports is that I show up 2 hours early and get through without issue, but DTW is rarely that crowded.

    4 hours beforehand sounds like plenty of time.

    CMH is crazy small for a commercial international airport so it's always amazing when I get there like 3 hours before my flight, get through security within 20 minutes, and then I'm like "...now what" as I sit and play on the internet till boarding time.

    All I know is that twitter keeps suggesting i should follow him so he's at least a little popular

    Man I like the idea of Centralia being some kind of Lovecraftian town where you can't reach it by an known method of transportation and the street signs mysteriously replace themselves when needed


    the signs have eyes
    This is one of the few instances where my fantasy world Centralia took inspiration from the real life ex-town Centralia, specifically the abandoned stretch of Pennsylvania Route 61 that was closed after it collapsed into the mine fire.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    Your knowledge of highways and obscure towns is, as always, both awe-inspiring and a little terrifying
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    is Centralia PA that obscure? Certainly I heard of it a long time ago, although I live in PA, so.

    I look forward to obnoxious nerds quoting this as gospel in an attempt to never have to step outside their comfort zone, just like they have with Doug Walker and Rape Letter Media before

  • My dreams exceed my real life
    inb4 someone tells me how unfair I, a person Todd doesn't know, and will never know, or hear from, are by being semi-mean to one aspect of the online persona of someone who has legions of adoring fan and a comfortable life in a major metropolitan city.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    It's always fun when people act like I'm a horrible bully for complaining about things while everybody around me is constantly talking about how dumb I am for not liking metal music or George Carlin.

    We hate what we hate, and we love what we love.

    Just as all people do, just as is our right.

    Be not ashamed of your own self.

    Just looking at this post was bothersome, so it was edited out.

    I think what bothers me about the "repressed sexuality" reading of Lovecraft is that it basically ends up pathologizing asexuality.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Yeah, I can see that, but I can also see them as being two distinct interpretations with some degree of overlap. The problem is people treating them like they're the same concept.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I mean I don't have a problem with analyzing how Lovecraft's ficiton comes partly from the weird, weird, dude he was.

    Just don't like "Well anyone this openly uninterested in romance HAS to be fucked up"
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    That is fair.

    I can see being interested in the way that he avoids romance, though, rather than the fact that he does. Or really how he just doesn't write women. Like, not even "badly," he just doesn't most of the time.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Sure
