Tetraethyl Lead has a lot to answer for, but yes, a lot of people are just selfish arseholes.

I’m in this picture, and I don’t like it.

Technocracy means the masses are ruled by a panel of experts in their fields. Scientific, expert advice sets policy, ie. Logic rules supreme. America is not, is not becoming, and never will be, a technocracy.

America has been an oligarchy for a while, now it’s going full authoritarian.

They can eyeball all they want, the red states are also the US’ welfare queens. They’re poor AF and would be bankrupt in a couple of years.

“Lugenpresse”

Uh huh. Fucking Nazi.

Then “most people” need to drag their thoughts further afield than their own tiny selfish little world.

Ignorance is not innocence.

It just takes a bit of training and practice is all, it’s really not that hard.

Get a solid radio like a Radiomaster Boxer (or Pocket, if you’re broke AF) and a copy of Velocidrone. The radio plugs into your PC like a joypad, and you can crash as many simulated drones as you need to get the hang of it 💛

Truth.

I have a little 3.5" diameter propeller freestyle drone that runs on 4s LiPos.

It does 124mph and will pull 40G turns. It’s like being strapped to the front of a missile. More fun and orders of magnitude cheaper than civil aviation, that’s for sure. 😁

I know of a discord for helping people with FPV stuff, alas most forums are dead these days.

I know we hate on discord round these parts, but it’s the best I’ve got 💛

“The Homer”

DJI drones, for example, broadcast an ID at a loud enough wattage that it can literally be triangulated and traced back to the controlling radio Tx without any difficulty.

It got a lot ruzzian wannabe drone pilots killed early on in their invasion of Ukraine, before they learned to change the firmware on them first.

Edit: It’s trivial to build an FPV drone from parts nowadays, there is no way anyone should be using DJI drones for tasks such as the OP.

DJI stuff is more expensive, less durable, and less user serviceable.

That explains why selling “sticking to your principles” and “tradition” go so easily for politicians.

Most people are thick as a pail of pigshit.

Exactly. We’re nothing but monkeys in trousers. We have a lot of evolving yet to do, psychologically speaking.

I’ll give you a point for honesty, but to also be honest, I think you’re a selfish arsehole.

While those being gutted just stand by and do nothing.

If you have the power to stop something, and choose not to, you’re choosing to help. That makes you complicit, and history will not be kind to you.

No chance. The populace doesn’t yet have the balls. Until they personally are going hungry or watching their families die, nothing will change.

Proof? History.

All that would do is increase demand for security guards and expand their services to checking on residential properties the parasite class own.

Can you imagine the anguished cries of the parasite classes?

Truly, it would be music like no other.

Sure, it won’t solve anything in the long term, but fuck me, a global debt reset would be hilarious. Landlords and banks, zeroed overnight.

Damn. There’s a thought experiment.

That isn’t possible. Time is as part of space as the other dimensions. Time is distorted by mass, just like space.

You can’t move “purely on the Y axis” any more than you can move “purely on the time axis”, or vice versa.

Off topic: Why is it a new idea that the observed motion of the universe around us is affected by “faster time” in denser areas of space? Why is that not blindingly obvious? Bwuh?

Hilarious, isn’t it?

The writers of this timeline couldn’t even come up with new material.

This timeline is itself AI slop. Prove me wrong.
