A lot of the ones I've noticed looked pretty clearly on a higher stage of an ascent, but I've also rarely noticed zig-zags. They could be fighter jets, which fly around a lot more than most might think and aren't super predictable in what they do.
Still though, I'm checking out of this discussion now. I'm not sure there's an on ramp to convince me, and it's because of what I said before. I just do not have the mindset to sprint to maximum complicated conspiracy when the easy solution is feasible. If the government/world were to alter weather or poison the populace or something, they could find much simpler ways than a complex conspiracy to secret manipulate passenger airplanes for decades to distribute whatever. Sometimes the answer is the obvious one, not the full tinfoil hat.
As someone who's actually flown planes, there's actually a reason they might, albeit you are highly unlikely to see it a ton with passenger planes for obvious reasons.
There are a few different manuevers to "slow down" the trajectory of a plane and sometimes taking "S-turns" is one of them. It's not like a car where you can put on the brakes. In the air a plane gets too slow it ceases being a flying object and becomes a falling one. Being that this is also how a plane lands, by slowing down so much at just the right time that the plane no longer flies, they are often going quite slow when near the ground. So if there's a problem and you are approaching the plane in front too quickly, you can S-turn (weave) from side to side to go slower. Remember too that these turns may be huge from the perception of being inside the plane in the air, and appear small on the ground.
So, if you have a busy airport where 10 planes all show up around the same time with the intent to land, they have to be sequenced somehow. ATC will have the pilots more often fly in a holding pattern or a circle than S-turns, but that's not to say S-turns never happen. Same as if you're on a plane that may have some trouble. That doesn't mean it's about to crash, just that something doesn't check out to the pilots satisfaction they may choose to remain in the air, which is relatively safe, and sort it out. That would be some sort of holding pattern too. There are loads and loads of reasons planes just don't fly in straight lines from point A to B.
I'd have to think about the science of it a bit more to get into the feasibility of that. Maybe.
I still think it's giving the enemy too much credit. Why attribute to a grand conspiracy what they could do in the open?
They could fly around planes all over the place, intentionally modifying weather however they want, and at the most it could just be, "black communities don't get as much rain as whites so we are giving them rainy reparations." Military planes already fly all over all the damn time, and they would be able to control the when and where much more carefully.
You know better than that. Clouds are white. That's racist! We can spend science class talking about made up scientific discoveries of black scientists instead.
See I can totally buy that the government is cloud seeding. I mean in some cases it's done intentionally and publically. I have no problem coming to grips that they might be doing it for illicit purposes or as a conspiracy.
Where I run into it is I've seen these coming out of common passenger jets plenty of times. Am I to believe that somehow some sort of water vapor dispension system is attached to all sorts of general airplanes and no one from a maintenance crew or airplane design or anything has ever brought it to light with real evidence over all this time? I'd have to believe in Men in Black style flashy memory erasers or just like a mass KGB level disappearing people scheme that no one notices to make that believeable.
Just a guess, but algorithm and monetization plays a big part. Early YouTube was "oooo I can make a video and share it." Now any kid that does it wants to be a rich and famous YouTuber, that's their goal. The novelty of making a video isn't even there, that's normal life to them.
They are pussies also so there's that. What was the post a few weeks ago, magic spells I think. Say "racist" and it's kryptonite.
The French know how to deal with this, as they've done it before. They invented a tool for this and used it on the country's leaders in the past. That's the only way it ends.
It's a decent explanation. I do wonder if anyone who ever actually raided Onyxia back then need to hear it. There was a certain baseline intelligence required back then. We are going to have to find a loot pinata to explain it with.
Pride season? Season?!
No.
Also, isn't Italian heritage just a bit too white. Honestly I've had pleasant experiences with Filipinos too, so they are probably too close to white. Better abolish those.
I support something that would belong in an apocalyptic B movie where the entirety of the sand nations sink into a giant whirlpool of quicksand myself.
Why do you not like black people (or whatever she is). Don't you know that MLK quote, "judge not by color of skin, but by content of character?"
Yes, that's what I'm doing.
I find that most manga/anime stories take a bit to get hooked anyway. As do a lot of JRPGs. They take more time on character development. Western media will just say, "here's a character, she's a black lesbian" and that's supposed to trigger something in your programming that makes you instantly care and they don't have to bother with character arcs.
I'll go as far to say don't pirate games from people who hate you either. Find something else to do. That's not me being one of those "video games bad, go outside" people either. I'm just saying if a game is not worth my dollars, it's not worth my even more valuable time.
All that at the same time feminism was at it's highest rate of dividing households and faggotism was growing, ensuring the new crop of young boys would have natural desires to learn and enjoy these type of things suppressed and the emphasis would be on women and immigrants taking all of this over. We didn't need a bunch of immigrants taking this over, we needed the crop we had to not grow up only around women and with soy slop so that they follow into these roles. When I went to school in the early 2000s, if you had a vagina they would about fall over to hand you the funds to study engineering, and if you had a white penis you better have sucked off a few of your high school teachers to get valedictorian or get out the checkbook--or even worse go to the banker for dumbass loans.
Oh and as someone who has an engineering degree, PhDs are worthless in 99% of cases and stupid and only for bullshit academics that think they are intelligent because their paper says they are. Also, I hate the term STEM. I don't recall ever hearing about STEM until the mid 2000s. It's like LGBTQABCDEFG. Can't just call them Lesbians and Gays, because oh no the "Mathematics" might feel left out.
I'm more sickened by the attitude that she did it so her children could avoid serving their home country. Just a dirty freeloader. Freeloading off of the American broken misinterpreted citizenship system so her children can freeload off the service to country done by all of their peers at home.
Something I've noticed with boomers and their grandkids is often they expected grandkids to be brought to them and "presented" in the form that they want, in order to choreograph something the boomer grandparent is interested in. If you don't they bitch and moan that everyone just abandons old people it's terrible blah blah. I mean my grandfather they used to drive to get me an hour away just to hang out for the day or to stay with them for the week and bring me back. Because they had the time and ability and my parents didn't. It's trivial for a retired person to come up with a few extra hours.
Funny enough I got dragged around to all sorts of things. May have looked like free labor on the outside, but the reality was I was never doing any real work or at least I didn't feel like I was working. What I was doing was being exposed to all sorts of actual good male role models that were his acquaintances and friends that totally didn't mind talking to me like a person and in a way an equal and therefore rubbed off all sorts of good things a young boy should learn about being a man.
They always sneak in first with this stuff "I want to work together with residents to build a better future" and such. I'm sure if you go back that's how the first ones got into everywhere else too. Muzzies and Indians work the same, the smarter ones get the foothold in early, then once they get enough in they leave the windows cracked and unlock all the doors for the swarms of locusts to follow.
Porn sites? You're really making me like the shooter now.
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone refer to them as freedom fries, except maybe Trump didn’t he come up with that? I’d much more expect to get a weird look if I tried to order some freedom fries somewhere. Not that I hear the “French” much either. They are just fries.
I’ll have to dig around, I’ve been out of watching anime for a few years now but the desire has sort of hit me lately to pick some back up.
Any exceptionally good dubs? I’d actually love one I could watch like an episode before I fall asleep in bed. I’ve always preferred subs, but bad eyes can’t read a TV screen with no glasses.
I actually got down a train of thought this last weekend about my grandfather, on the dads side, who I don’t think would be a boomer as if he was still around he’d be over 100 now.
He worked a decent white collar life and had a pension that didn’t grant him lavishness but he was a very prudent person with finances so he certainly wasn’t poor. He retired when I was super young so I don’t really remember him working a job per se. Yet I also have zero memory of an expectation of retirement being this lazy couch sitting or lavish travel or anything. He liked gardening, so he got up every day at the buttcrack of dawn pretty much the entire season to go out and water everything and whatever else the plants required. Then he’d go to his church where he (for free) kept a small modest church with a beautiful garden. Then he had all sorts of volunteer work he did. They gave a lot of time to their grandkids but it was never in the super spoiling kind of way. So he was retired in that a job wasn’t paying him, but I don’t remember him ever not laboring at something until he was totally physically unable and even then he’d hobble around on a cane to try to help others.
That all just had me thinking, what the hell happened. I don’t know anyone that age who would do that anymore. My dad is probably the closest in that he’s not demanding at all for a boomer or lazy, but damn if it doesn’t seem like most of them totally “deserve” so many things and you should give it to them. That’s not even just observation but from those I’ve been close enough to. I honestly can’t think of one who would give back and be so humble about it all. I’m sure it exists, but where are they?
Yeah I think they totally missed the mark. I mean it sort of needed to compete at least in a middle ground with consoles and not immediately have videos comparing it to similar/slightly cheaper DIY PCs that would out perform it. Consoles have always had the edge of being (even now, what $650 or a PS5?) the easy option with a consistent experience for low end PC price.
This is offering really none of that, and honestly I don't totally buy that it's only due to hardware prices, they just think they will sell it anyway so they jacked the price up. I haven't dug around, but there's loads of mini PC manufacturers now and I bet if not already it's not long before they dump the same CPU/GPU chips on a board and sell it for $300 less.
I've been doing it with Lutris. I'm sure with a little tweaking I could make it work. I think I just ended up not messing with it anymore. It's a TV PC but I was already set up for years for TV-front gaming. I can totally play KB/M games on it if I want, comfortably. So messing with the gaming mode was just a novelty at best. I also tried Bazzite first, then Arch, before settling on Nobara for the last year or so and I'd kinda gotten used to being past that.
I do need to play with Heroic someday. I've never cared too much to have a mega game launcher though. I actually prefer my emulators to stand alone in particular.
Yeah, the main use cases is definitely the corporates thinking it's going to solve all their problems and allow them to get rid of the whites and the Indians. I know some former coworkers who still work at the big megacorp I worked for a long time. One of them came across like a usage dashboard of AI tokens. They are spending tens of millions on AI tokens basically encouraging their employees to use AI to make their own jobs redundant.
She's not exactly small relative to her peers. I'd say she should fight back physically and aggressive, but the problem is at one point a pack of negresses will come back and they won't hold back they would have no problem going for the kill right there in the open.
