An airplane is like a movie theater - when it’s dark you talk as little as possible and as quietly as you can
My cold take is that an international flight is not an office break room for you to natter on for the entire flight and the emergency exit row is not your third space on the plane for doing it.

Each team’s curling stones in the Olympics should match their flag or national colors whenever possible. Sweden being red and the USA being yellow feels wrong. I don’t care if this means the rules have to change, I want good aesthetics
