I 100% agree with you.

Perhaps your tastes have changed. I'm sure there must still be a game out there for you.

Reclining certainly does make my experience better.

I refuse to accept responsibility for the consequences of a scenario that I didn't create.

Ideally the airline should simply make it so that the seats can't recline.

If we acquiesce and make up for the airline's failures by taking matters into our own hands, that just enables the airline to continue to not fix the issue. It's the same thing as tipping at restaurants. We have to tip because the staff don't get paid enough otherwise. The restaurant is passing off their shortcomings to the customers. The system only works because we agree to participate in it.

So the seat is there and it can be reclined but I'm not allowed to recline it because.... courtesy? What if there just happens to be nobody sitting behind me? Should I still not recline as a gesture of solidarity to the people who feel social pressure not to recline? The airline is at fault if we're going through these mental calculations. Every passenger should feel free and unencumbered to use 100% of the facilities on the plane they paid for. The airline should ensure it. They've failed to keep their passengers comfortable if they don't. The blame for that shouldn't be passed to other passengers.

People of all sizes are entitled to use the facilities they paid for equally. The airline should provide a solution for you, not the other passengers. You should patronize airlines that fulfill your needs and not patronize the ones that don't. I actually like the ultra low cost carriers that have solved this by simply not allowing the seats to be reclined.

Literally people feel safer in larger vehicles because of all of the large vehicles on the road. It's a positive feedback loop

"pickup truck" is the term that refers to them. It's pretty unambiguous I think.

Because developers don't bother with documentation. They either assert it's self documenting or they assert whatever it is was always intended to be temporary so it's not worth documenting.

Myanmar uses imperial as well. At least partially. Or they did when I visited there a few years ago.

As an American, whenever I try to do an English accent it ends up as Australian. That one is much easier. Even the affectations feel easier to do.
