I still don’t know how the police found my compound where I ran an illegal searchlight depot/covert blimp airfield/fireworks testing range.

    They should make it legal to shine lasers at aircraft. Rich people who fly low over residential areas for a hobby ought to fear for their eyesight.

      Pilots are in general not “rich people”. Many go into debt to get into the profession. Taylor Swift isn’t flying her own jet.

      On the other hand, if the eyesight of a pilot gets damaged, it can fuck up their career that they put insane money into - again, likely from debt. Not speaking about having to switch professions and losing a life’s dream.

        Drag isn’t talking about passenger and freight aircraft. Drag is talking about hobby aircraft. Rich people don’t fly planes for fun where you live?

      Those residential areas with houses full of people that planes can crash into and kill everyone on the ground as well as in the air?

      That’ll sure show the billionaires… somehow…

          You know, you are very concerned about people respecting you to the point that you throw massive hissy fits about it, and yet you seem to show no concern whatsoever for the lives of innocent people if it furthers some political goal of yours. Which seems extremely disrespectful to humanity overall.

          I doubt you’ll see the irony there, but I think everyone else will appreciate it.

            Oh, it’s you. Drag already sent you a message asking you not to interact with drag. Drag will ask again: don’t bother drag any more.

              Not my job to not respond to a comment on a public forum just because the person doesn’t like me. Especially not such an abhorrent one. That’s not how this works.
