I haven't traveled outside the US very much but when I was in China, I took a 2 hour domestic flight on Shenzhen Airlines and they served hot meals both ways for free with 2 or 3 choices of meal. I was impressed, I've never received that kind of service except on long international flights.
This was the hot teriyaki chicken, rice, and vegetables with a box containing a roll, banana, pickled vegetables, and candy.

I had to go to divided by zero to see the image, what the fuck is that site design

We removed in-line images from different instances on the first day of federation, after someone/people started spamming CSAM and gore in our threads.

I like it. Very anarchist colors.
You can change it to mostly usual colors though by changing the theme in settings to anything other than the default (ironically)

Sorry, I thought it would be embedded inline because I just used the Sync for Lemmy app to upload it but I guess it just hosts it on my home instance.

I flew on Sichuan Airlines on my birthday and they gave me a handwritten birthday card.

The Chinese equivalent of "how are you" is "have you eaten yet?" I think there's a lot more emphasis on having a proper hot meal than in many other places.
You can even see that attitude reflected in government COVID supplies. In Japan the delivered supplies for people in quarantine were almost all instant processed foods. In China, lockdown supplies had tons of fresh vegetables and meats. Ironically, that made food deliveries more expensive and difficult but there was never any talk of replacing fresh food with processed food.

Whoa, hol up. Their governments cared about them?

Chinese domestic flights also have enough legroom

I'm guessing that's tea in the paper cup?

Fascists when a complementary biscuit:

Once again antisemitism is the fool's version of materialism. Could it be the never ending quest to extract evey iota of profit possible led to free meals being replaced with complimentary crackers? Or was it as this dumbass thinks and the secret Jewish cabal is taking away meals to further the great replacement or some other bigoted bullshit
-
This doesn't even resemble materialism.
This isn't "jewish bankers control the world and everyone is enslaved by them", this is "jewish space lasers control people's minds".
Pure magical thinking.

Oh God is that what "gock" is short for?!

It's a Belvita breakfast biscuit with their own private branding

The real reason airlines used to be like that is that there used to be stringent regulations on how many seats could be on a plane. That meant that there was a pretty consistent floor on how much airlines could lower prices and still turn a profit. Therefore, they competed on providing the best services and we're able to do that because there was leftover space to fucking cook a roast in the kitchen.
Deregulation prompted a race to the bottom for both prices and services because airlines could turn economy class into sardine cans and still make more money.
The Jews didn't do this, it was fucking Reagan.

Carter actually deregulated airlines first IIRC

The perspective makes it look like a fking giant cracker like the size of a serving tray

I wish, those things are great

We used to be a country. A proper country.

I don't get it. Is the g word a slur?

Antisemites tend to use "goy" in derogatory fashion to indicate something being of Jewish origin. Got a lot of play back when 4chan nazis posted "happy merchant" memes all day.
I hate so much that I know this shit
-
I feel like an Idiot now but wow that makes a lot of gaming YouTubers I liked just a few seconds ago into 4chan Nazis
-
Oh ok. What does goy mean?
-
when 4chan nazis posted “happy merchant” memes all day.
You mean they aren't still doing it?
-
Depending on context, overtness, and precisely who’s speaking, “goy” can be invoked in a mockery of how the poster thinks a “Jewish overlord” might talk about nonbelievers. (See also: liberal sprinklings of “oy vey” and other assumed stock phrases)
-
-
"Goy" is short for "Goyim", and is a word primarily used by Jewish people to refer to non-Jews.
Anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists often self-identity as Goyim to highlight their position as an underclass. In this case, the implication is that Jews feed Goys tasteless nutrition bars while, presumably, the Jewish passengers in first-class still get opulent kosher meals.

They have some self awareness at least so they've got that going for them.

Remember the good old days of flight when Howard Hughes himself would give you a complementary piss directly from his milk bottle collection?
People basing their entire view of history on magazine adverts from the 50s like they're in some kind of post-apocalypse story, piecing together what the world that ended. They could just look stuff up because the world hasn't actually ended, but that's a cuck way of looking at things apparently.
It's just so dumb on so many levels.
One: uncritically accepting advertising as fact, despite exaggeration and puffery being standard practice
Two: flying was an outright luxury during that time. Only rich people and new "middle class" Americans were doing it, so airlines catered to that crowd. That's radically different from air travel today where most people have flown at least once in the past few years, and nearly half have flown once in the last year. If you're tailoring a service to 85% of the population instead of ~30% or less, it's clearly going to be different.
Three: if you want your fancy boy meals and two by two seating, you're welcome to buy a first class ticket for thousands of dollars. An approximation of this kind of service is available in first class today - these dipshits either don't realize that because they're completely unobservant and incurious, or, they're just looking for an excuse to hate women and minorities and think that SURELY they'd be able to afford it if we reintroduced segregation or something. Just downwardly economically mobile white guys blaming the proles they're forced to join instead of the bosses.
God I hate these people.
In Communist North Korea, the impoverished masses are easily fooled by the ruling class' propaganda, which is laden with exaggeration and puffery depicting an idealized life wherein people readily consent to their own exploitation
