Fuck dynastic political families.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•so many apocalyses to choose from and yetEnglish21·9 hours agoConservative news everywhere. Society has had some form of crime since civilization existed. Never gonna get rid of it. But conservatives clutch their pearls at it and exclaim the end of the world is nigh. Meanwhile conservatives want to suffocate everyone slowly under a pillow of religion while looting their victims pockets of power and money.
So you’re saying my floor needs to be water?
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We are living in the Pre-"Drone 9/11" era.3·12 hours agoYeah, I didn’t need to envision every movie supervillain mastermind’s plot to create havoc and terror. You seriously underestimate the resources needed to pull off such a thing and keep it secret even if it’s technically possible. Why make “10,000” little drones when you can make a half-dozen bigger RC plane types that can do an incredible amount of destruction? The point is to start terror, which requires far less than your elaborate plot and conditions like “facial recognition”. You went off the deep end of a Marvel movie plot to wipe out a city. We all know that just a couple well-placed hits is enough to send the country into a spiral.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We are living in the Pre-"Drone 9/11" era.3·15 hours agoThe vehicle is almost irrelevant. They can be box trucks, planes, cars, suicide vests, backpacks, parcels, any number of things, including drones. Any mobile form can be brought close to an intended target.
Drones are more of an assassination weapon as far as FPV drones go. They can be built if you have the knowledge from available parts, but do require quite a bit of skill to fly. Their ability to only carry a small charge (yes, there are huge drones, buy flying one of those monsters around is a completely different animal) is probably only going to hurt a couple people or kill one person in particular.
I don’t disagree that they can be used as weapons of terror, however I just don’t see FPV as weapons of mass terror.
OTOH the large winged drones that can be launched from miles away that are essentially “cruise missile” drones could certainly be used as mass terror weapons, but those aren’t the kind used by regular people for fun or photography.

It’s one thing to vicariously be a decent person and virtue signal by sharing such a meme, but actually paying for it? Fuck no.

Gonna love this:
Members of the U.S. Marines Corps are coming to Louisiana to aid U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with administrative and logistical work as ICE continues its immigration crackdown across the country, according to the Department of Defense’s U.S. Northern Command.
Alabama was proof of how shitty things have to get before people start taking action.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldto Flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Capitalist corruption is inescapable1·3 days agoYou sidestepped every bit of human nature and imposed your own reality. You ridiculously oversimplified how research and funding work.
Ok man. You’ve got it all sorted out. You got me.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldto Flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Capitalist corruption is inescapable1·3 days agoWhy the hyperbole? Why the binary choice? I have no real interest in defending unfettered capitalism, I argue for strict controls on it with strong social policy. However, you cannot deny that greed advances things very quickly, from shitty things like tiktok to Big Pharma pushing out a new drug that they can charge $10k USD a dose for.
What if…? My man, I would love a Star Trek TNG society where we are all above the pillaging of the Earth and each other for personal gain. But unless you have a plan to radically alter society in the near future your “what if” is fantasy.

Because Bill says enough crap that aligns with right wing views that they skip the rest.
