I’d go farther in saying that staying the fuck away from “industrialy” grown meat, and overly processed food is the way to go (for health). Reducing a maximum the meat consumption, and subside it for higher quality one is what’s necessary for the environment.
Going vegetarian (mostly) is even more efficient in both cases as long as the diet is well crafted for balancing all the body needs.
Sorry to hear you missed your flight. It sucks but hopefully it won’t ruin your plans.
As for the story:
It was 15 years ago, my parents, my two siblings, and me were about to travel to Canada to visit our aunt. For all of us, it was our first ever transatlantic flight. We were all so excited about it, that none of us could catch a bit of sleep the day before leaving.
It required 5h of travel to catch the plane in the capital, so we had to leave at like 4 am to be on time for it. But somehow we manage to do it and arrive on time at the airport.
Excitation is at its maximum, finally our big trip is around the corner. We go to the check in desk, cue for a good a hour, and once our turn come, get asked for our passport. We all look at my father that start frenetically look in his pockets, then handbags to find our passport. But no sign of them. He start sweating heavily, ask my mother if she kept them. No, not with her neither. Big panic moment, everybody shouting, undoing all the luggages in order to find them. But nothing. We forgot our passport. No way to catch the plane.
Our father go back to our place, 5h away from the airport, while we stayed in a hotel for the night. Turns out the passport were on my parent shelf. Just one story higher than were they always were. My mother being quite short did’t see them and assumed my father had them.
We went back to the airport on the next day to see what we could do to save our trip. We got lucky as we got access to another plane, for free, and got upgraded to first class as a bonus, due to 5 other passengers missing their flight ! But we had 5 mins to catch it. The run though the check-in, security, the terminal gates was quite epic to fathom !
A Douai, dans le Nord, une centaine de jeunes volontaires participent à un « séjour de cohésion » de douze jours, dans le cadre du service national universel. Si les codes des militaires sont bien présents, le programme est éclectique et l’ambiance évoque une colonie de vacances.
Si on veut vraiment faire de la « cohésion », autant subventionner les communes pour qu’elles puissent de nouveau organiser des colos comme c’était souvent le cas par le passé.
Ça motive plein de jeunes à passer leur BAFA, ça permet à un maximum de personnes de partir en vacances, et ça sera toujours mieux organiser qu’un truc de l’Etat et ça ferait moins nationaliste…
Mais est-ce qu’on a besoin de salué un drapeau, chanté la Marseillaise et participer à un camp + service dans l’armée/police/gendarmerie pour se sentir Français ? Surtout dans ce cas, les gens s’attachent à des symboles d’état, et à son autorité. Pas sûr que ce soit une bonne chose.

Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?
I just missed mine. Feeling pretty stupid right now. Hopefully your stories will cheer me up.
