The question here was whether it was subject to civilian or military aviation ATC - from every report released thus far, it was under civilian authority. Obviously, yes, a fighter jet was originally a military aircraft - but that isn't relevant at the moment, since it's registered to an organization independent of the US military.

Lemmy is pretty great compared to reddit so long as the topics stay away from anything to do with feminism or women's rights. Otherwise it starts to feel like the reddit cesspit is leaking, and it's depressing. Anyone remember the few days when "the bear" discussion took over the fediverse? Those were dark times. Or any time someone even mentions the word "mansplaining", even if it's satirical.

This wasn't a military aircraft, it was a privately owned 70 year old jet.

The nazi presence in the furry movement is really under estimated by people who're outside the subculture. There's, like... there's a lot of them in there, guys. Recruiting from persecuted groups is already standard operating procedure for fascists, and the furry community notoriously has both money, a great deal of practice at forming groups that insulate their members from criticism, and a real serious problem with sexism. Unfortunately, it makes for the ideal environment to grow far-right movements.

In that situation you're still admitting the threats have power over you; by releasing the photos yourself, you both out the person as fucking scum and demonstrate that their threat was completely impotent, delivering a one-two punch to the ego.

Noun: [...]
3. One who knew a specific decedent.
"She was from a large family and had many friends, so the funeral was crowded with mourning survivors"

Via wiktionary.

Did you really just not look this up, at all? Seriously, this is an extremely common usage of the term. Why are you so defensive about this? For that matter, why do you think arguing semantics at all is relevant to the discussion at hand - beyond just making you look like you're arguing in bad faith?

I used to be pretty neutral about it -people are obsessed with all kinds of weird shit, why is this any different- but then my cousin did some truly horrifying national news making shit (and then in an unrelated incident, another family member was murdered incredibly publicly...) and... oh boy. The truecrime community is full of some of the truly most self-absorbed, main character syndrome people. A particular favorite was when someone who'd been hounding a family member for details, and who was subsequently blocked for it, dug up their address and wrote them a physical letter asking for details, in pink ink.

Just. How tone-deaf do you have to be to think that's at all appropriate? what the fuck?

I like crime, it's interesting, but in 99% of the true crime I'm interested in nobody gets injured. Weird how the "truecrime" podcasts never seem to feature, like, elaborate fraud schemes, you have to go to the financial podcasts to find it (and oh boy are they awful in new and exciting ways!)

The women were ordered off a flight and checked for whether they had given birth after a baby was found abandoned in an airport bin in 2020 - an incident that sparked global outrage.

What the actual fuck

Needlessly pedantic there, buddy. To answer the question: no he doesn't have a particularly strong or regional american-english accent, it is very neutral.
