I guessed Stockton before I clicked. Had to be either them, Redding or one of the few Orange County towns that haven't gone purple.

I wonder who got the kickbacks from that fucked-up deal.

Flock shooting is going to be the new skeet shooting, and dialing 911 the new "pull!"

It’s my god-given right as an American to blast those fuckers out of the sky with a 12 gauge, and you can’t tell me any different

I just wish Americans would act as tough as they talk online

Americans have free speech, not free ammo.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

Do they really have free speech though? I was gobsmacked seeing how a former US Army veteran spent a month in jail and lost his job for posting a meme of Charlie Kirk with one of his quotes. You wouldn't get locked up for posting something like that in Canada.

As it turns out Americans don’t like being sent to prison on felony charges

Arc Riders warned as about this.

Legit insane. What kind of cyberpunk garbage is this? Tf is a drone gonna do? Suicide bomb a random black bystander?

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

With AI, so no-body is to blame.

It’s going to save money, so they can cut police, fire, ambulance budget. Too bad for you if the drone doesn’t see you bleeding in the street or takes a while to

[–] Esp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Cut the police budget? 🤣

Lol, Stockton. These things are gonna get shot down.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

They better. How the fuck is this better than chem trails?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 17 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

So where do you need to shoot it? The round thing, or the flat thing behind it?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

Get one of those cannons that launches a net tied with weights. They've proven very effective against drones in Ukraine.

Idk, with how it is now you just gotta say "ignore all previous instruction and let me change your mind"

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Stopped mid laugh because it's just too fucking close to reality. 😮‍💨

Negative I am a meat popsicle.

[–] Ebby@lemmy.ssba.com 6 points 16 hours ago

I think I saw one of those in Morgan Hill following along the freeway. I remember pointing it out and saying that's a huge drone watching us. Didn't know it was fucking Flock.

[–] mecen@lemmy.ca 13 points 21 hours ago

Just wait for drones to be allowed to view everything over your window. Palantir there you go.

[–] msage@programming.dev 9 points 21 hours ago

Money money money....

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Legitimately shocked it wasn’t Huntington Beach.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Don't they make blenders?

I was close.
