I'm phobic about flying, but I still need to fly a few times a year... so a half dose of Ativan prescribed by my doctor for just these occasions means I STILL think we're going to crash, but I don't care.

It's the best I can do, but it means I can get on a plane without panic attacks and weeping and gnashing of teeth. (I used to literally have heart palpitations for months ahead of any scheduled flight.)

bingo. when you drop a few thousand feet gravity goes bye bye
It can't, but I don't think that's what it's for. It's for turbulence and those situations where the plan does not crash but does drop suddenly, at which point anyone not wearing a seatbelt is gonna hit the ceiling.

I’m the opposite because I am confounded that people think a belt can do anything for me when I am at 30k feet going 500mph.

They laid off the whole correction team in one of the biggest magazines here, replacing it with AI. The results? New editions of the magazine are full of errors and weird-sounding sentences.
That’s just revolting. But then again, these people think editing/copywriting etc aren’t a skill, they’re ’an algorithm’. Ffs.
Don't let me get started on this topic.
Just don't.
