Have US airports always been a concentrated dose of American dystopia or has it just been O'Hare and everything post-9/11? Somehow Security was not the most disturbing source of decay and horror. Or maybe it was and I'm just numb to it.
Apparently "Beats, Bites, & Flights" is the new "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves"
Encounter a wild techbro in the airport? Don't worry - contact one of Austin Bergstrom Airport's Techbro Control Specialists who will bait one of our specially constructed techbro live traps with Claude tokens, capture, and harmlessly release the techbro at one of our server farms upstate
Away from your sterile metallic Skinner Box condo? Need coffee but can't bear the thought of "interacting" with other "people" who might have a "personality" and subject you to "conversation"? Obtain coffee from one of our emotionless robot baristas - just like Wire Mom used to make!
Denver Airport, presented without comment.
@arclight The only two things I remember about Denver airport are the signs for torando shelters, and the cursed demon horse out the front

@jpm @arclight
I always liked the train from the airplane to Denver. It's comfortable and fast, and you get a good view of the nothingness that's eastern Colorado.

I could do without the armed security guards though. A jumpy 30-something with a big gun doesn't make me less worried, hired to be there or not.
