Well then...

As a #SovereignCitizen, I will not comply with FAA drone laws 😏

Bonus points: Y'all can use an app called Rattlegram to convert a sting of text into audio that can be played over amateur radio. And if you encrypt the text beforehand using encryption tools such as Secure Space Encryptor (known as Paranoia Text Encryption on iOS), or Open PGP (both are open source), before pasting the ciphertext into Rattlegram (also open source), you have encrypted off-grid communications.

This is #Murica! The president can ignore laws. So can we. 😎

Luckily the FAA has no power in europe

These two are the least of out worries now.

Imagine this law in like 1999

And then when their anonymous airplanes crashed into each other, the world felt conflicted about it.

Putin loves this simple hack

Oh no that would be so sad. Please no.

Paparazzi can become useful by simply being the ones reporting the plane movement as they follow them around in person.

I undertands Musk's, but why do we hate taylor swift now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

There 👏 are 👏 no 👏 good 👏 billionaires 👏

It's mostly about how she uses flights. It's a waste of energy and a big contributor to pollution when they are taking a whole ass jet for about 5 people to go 30 miles.

Though, personally, I am not really sure if that's Swift's call. It's likely her managers/producers.

Don’t they also charter their planes when they aren’t being used?

I hope a traffic controller guides Elon's jet into the tarmac.

I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She's more like Elon than any of us will ever be

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

many people tried to astroturfed she dint come from money,. she literally came from an upper middle class upbringing bordering wealthy. her family moved her to tennessee so she looks "poorer" than she is to her fans.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

No. Ethical. Billionaires.

Every day she wakes up and chooses not to solve homelessness in Tennessee.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

She still has the carbon footprint of a small country.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

She may not be as bad but she's still a billionaire who rides her private jet everywhere on a whim contributing more to climate change than thousands of people will in multiple lifetimes and was included in the Panama Papers. Her greed and abuse of the system will always be closer to Elon than any of us

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

the joke about her being extremely vexatiously litigious around her music too.
