So if there is a secession movement, it should always be supported? What of the people of Hong Kong who supported further integration into the mainland? Do they not matter?

How about the neonazis trying to turn the Pacific Northwest of America into their "Northwest Territorial Imperative". Should we support those secessionists?

Is America's hold over my state imperialist? Is Germany occupying Berlin imperialist?

England takes Hong Kong, that's imperialism.

China takes it back, also imperialism i guess.

So imperialism is just a synonym for invasion?

Was the Soviet Union imperialist when they marched into Berlin?

What is imperialism?

What the fuck is "non-escalatory" even supposed to mean? I bomb you and you aren't allowed to fight back?

This sounds pretty cool. I would love a fashiony friend who could help me look like Me But Cooler.

Down with imperialism, but also down with the people fighting against the empire.

That's you. That's what you sound like.

I ain't reading all these comments but some of the shows were pretty good. Clone Wars was FINE. Just started Andor but it seems to be Actually Good.

Lightsabers are COOL. It's a shame all the movies suck.

I was also a stupid teenager told that this was my only way to avoid flipping burgers for the rest of my life, so I signed up for student loans.

Then in 2010 Obama overhauled the system to cut out the shitty private industry side of things, but gave no relief to people like me already locked into that system. Made it real fun when Biden teased loan forgiveness and I found out I wouldn't even be eligible.

But I've been paying my loans. I did AmeriCorps so I could afford to do so. I reckon I've paid more than the entire cost of my schooling by now, but that doesn't matter because interest go brrrrrr.

The whole student loan system is unconscionable.

Fpv is hard but there are good sims (I like Liftoff) that you can play by plugging your transmitter into a computer. I am so bad at it and crash constantly, and the sim is way cheaper than breaking a bunch of drones.

Camera drones are super easy though. They stabilize and hover themselves, and you can figure them out just playing around for a lil bit.

You need a TRUST certificate to fly, but you can get that in a like couple hours tops https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_flyers/knowledge_test_updates

There are hella limits as to what "recreational" flying is, and you need a much more complicated Part 107 license to legally do commercial photography or anything like that.

You also gotta make sure it's legal to fly where you are. You'd be surprised where no-fly zones are. Near airports, near military installations, some other infrastructure things...I use the OpenSky app which makes things pretty clear.

I once watched a youtube review of this game from someone who seemed to grasp a lot of the game's personal and emotional themes, but when he got to a point when a character asked him if he was a communist, was like "how should I know??? Maybe communism means something completely different in this fantasy world."

Walked right up to the door and jumped out the window.

It's a trainwreck. Drama piggies eating good today.

I am in awe of the scope of this mod for my favoritest game ever, but now they've gotten so far into it that I feel like I wanna wait until it's done.

Drones are a lot of fun.

Didn't this chick disavow communism cause she saw a Cuban nurse smoking or some shit?

Oblivion is as good as it was when I was in high school.

Oh yeah everything I said applies to US only. Don't know anything about UK drone laws, but a cursory search suggests that remote id isn't even required there.

How big a drone? If it's over 250g it has remote id and you can get its info using an app on your phone. Smaller drones don't require it though.

Interfering with a drone directly is a bad idea - legally they treat those things as aircraft so you can't just shoot it down if it's flying outdoors, even over your property. Unless it goes indoors. FAA doesn't control indoors.

Depending on the state, this could be a perfectly legal recreational drone flight. A lot of state laws really haven't caught up with drone technology. See your local laws here https://www.findlaw.com/consumer/consumer-transactions/drone-laws-by-state.html
