You’ll put your eye out, kid.

You’ll put someone else’s eye out.

You’ll go to jail for having a laser in your pocket you never turned on.

Don’t buy a laser FFS.

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT shine lasers into manned aircraft.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 9h

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

there’s a nest not far from our house. We’ve trained our neighborhood crows to act as an early warning system for our dogs. It works great except for when the eagles decide they want to snack on crow eggs while we’re in the backyard.

All of us are noobs at something. Imagine some of the dumb questions I’ve asked after getting back into basic electronics after decades.

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

"People can be fun loving people and still protest."

First point, agreed.

Second point - would an analogy be “these aren’t exactly Klingons, but you have not-Klingons along with not-Romulans and not-Borg”?

the unwillingness to be specific about infringing models seems problematic. Is that any different under UK laws?

I’m interested. I’m very interested. I’m the guy who paid (reluctantly) scalper prices for the 4K UHD versions of the first two films.

However, fuck Jared Leto. I’m not going to see a film that chose to cast him regardless of the IP.
