  • Better than I am tbh. The moral highground means nothing to these barbaric western countries.

    We saw how Hamas treated the hostages compared to how “israel” treats prisoners hostages.

    We see how Venezuela treats the traitorous Machado, letting her walk freely as she’s calling for the US to bomb her own country. Why not charge her with treason?

    This bill addresses aviation safety by increasing requirements for aircraft tracking and communication using Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology and expanding oversight.

    As background, ADS-B for broadcasting (Out) and receiving (In) transmits information (e.g., location and weather information) between aircraft and air traffic control.

    Under the bill, aircraft must generally operate with ADS-B In equipment to provide the aircraft with location information of other aircraft and traffic advisories. Current law does not require this equipment.

    Current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations allow aircraft performing a sensitive government mission to be excepted from requirements for using ADS-B Out equipment. This bill limits which flights may be considered sensitive government missions (e.g., not training flights) and requires additional reporting and notifications for the exception.

    The Government Accountability Office must review the use of the ADS-B Out exception and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Transportation must annually audit FAA oversight of operations that use the exception.

    Further, the bill repeals a 2025 law that exempts certain military helicopters from the ADS-B Out requirements for the Washington, DC, metropolitan area.

    The bill also requires

    • the OIG of the Army to audit the Army’s coordination with the FAA,
    • the FAA to establish an office to coordinate airspace usage of military aircraft and review the safety of flight operations and routes around airports, and
    • the FAA to enter into memoranda of understanding with military agencies for safety information sharing.


  • I was in a fratenity in college, quickly realized that a majority of cis men are just psychopaths.

    It’s one thing to make college kids do pushups and squats, it’s another thing to make them do the vile shit that “brothers” pitched.

    Drinking a liter of soy sauce killed a kid at a school near us, and after this happened the “brothers” thought it’d be a good idea to follow the trend.

    A lot of alcohol hazing that I had to intervene and stop, a lot of things that would cause damage I also prevented.

    We got in trouble with the university while I was there, I thought shit would be done for but they ended up only getting a suspension from holding events for a semester, great punishment! The national chapter got involved, but didn’t do anything other than making sure the pledges wouldn’t press charges and sent us on our way. I wanted to drop at that point but realized these kids had no other protection if I left so I stuck around to make sure nobody died.

    The one rule was that you couldn’t do to the pledges what didn’t happen to you, which was just incorrect, plenty of these kids joined through covid and had a soft process but turned around and did worse things as soon as they had the power to do so.

    I think the chapter is defunct now though, after graduating I would hear through the grapevine that they were in hot water due to grades, parties that ended up with hospitalizations, severe property damage, drugs, etc.
