WestJet to start charging for reclining seats.
7mon 1d ago in canada@lemmy.ca from www.blogto.comUnpopular take but I'd infinitely rather no recline seats. Recline doesn't make you more comfortable - it's just an illusion of control. It screws the person behind you, but you have no choice if the passenger in front of you reclines. My most comfortable flights have been in the aisle/window seat of low-cost carriers (European carriers, Cebu Pacific, Flair/Lynx).
Frequent flyers get the reclining seats for free though. They're just trying to fit more seats on planes while hiding the fact that WestJet Rewards is becoming increasingly enshittified.

9mon 12d ago in canada@lemmy.ca from www.youtube.comNo, because thieves who aren’t total idiots will move on when they see a camera.
If that were true, we wouldn't be seeing a constant stream of camera footage of porch pirates on news channels, media outlets and social media. The reality is that opportunistic thieves don't care anymore. Policing doesn't focus on protecting average citizens from property crimes, it's a complete afterthought.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is delaying a plan that requires automakers to hit minimum sales levels for electric vehicles
9mon 15d ago in canada@lemmy.ca from www.cbc.caThat's too logical. Instead, Carney should cut public services, and we should give another $18 billion to build a new factory producing shitty cars no one in their right mind would buy, so that his lobbyist friends can make political donations under all their family members names and call me the only adult in the room. I'll give it 7 months.
TIL the famous Socrates quote about children being disrespectful and having bad manners was actually a fabrication written by a Canadian college student in 1907
9mon 21d ago in til@lemmy.ca from quoteinvestigator.comHe was on trial.
For people not following, he was saying that if he was the corrupter of youths and weak-minded men, then everyone else must be improvers. Because not everyone else are improvers (logically speaking in this argument), it means many people were responsible for the corruption and he alone is not responsible.
