  • “Fpv drones are for rich people”

    You can get into flying whoops for like $250, and if you wait it out you can spend that over the course of months:

    1. Radiomaster pocket and a free sim ($60)
    2. Cheap box goggles down the line to improve the sim and use once you get your qwad ($50 - $100)
    3. When you finally don’t suck you can get a mobula3 or whatever for like another $120, now you’re flying FPV

    FFS, one of the most prevalent YouTube fpv channels of all time started out while the guy running it was squatting out in a box car and dealing with serious substance abuse issues.

    I’ve spent far more money on old eBay servers and weed over the years. But no one calls you rich for smoking dope or playing with Linux on EoL hardware…



    1. Yes but, I guess they at least weren’t residents I guess. To be fair prison for a lotta people isn’t much better. Lots of democrats have been “tough on crime” before.

    2. No they’re more interested in shitting on the few fellow democrats that actually have leftist beliefs, or even a spine.

    3. I’ll give you this one. Americas military fetish has always been bad, but that was exceptionally pathetic.

    I don’t think they’re the same thing, but they’re part of the same systematic ratcheting over to the right. They’re the ratchet, and MAGAts are the gear, cranking along to the right.

    Not the same thing, but working in unison to accomplish the same outcome. Whether or not its intended.

    So when people say they’re the same, its not that democrats causing the issues, its that they’re seemingly doing very little to stop it. Because they’re willing to throw people into the meat grinder in the hopes they don’t get thrown in too.

    They’re the same in that no party is willing to address or fix the systematic issues of late stage capitalism, outside of a few tokens viewed as “niche”, kept to be laughed at and to keep those paying attention quiet.

    That’s what people mean when they say that.
