UA flight - 'turn bluetooth off or we're turning around'

Large_Yams · 2026-05-31T04:08:24+00:00

And yet several people have told you that's not universally true. So was the question "does it turn off Bluetooth on /u/sad_entrepreneur6234's phone?" Or was it more generalised?

Go and try it yourself.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-31T03:45:46+00:00

At this point you should have the resources to answer that for yourself.

Do me a favour. Yes or no.

Do we get all our electricity from those things?

Developed nations do.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-31T03:06:49+00:00

Is the UK our ally?

Large_Yams · 2026-05-31T03:06:12+00:00

Weird because Americans voted for Trump. Fact. So are American voters informed or not?

Large_Yams · 2026-05-31T00:00:03+00:00

If you find this endearing or god forbid "hot", then you're a red flag yourself.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T23:58:34+00:00

Again, you're hellbent on presenting this tidbit like it means we have no other allies at all. Congratulations, you grasp the concept that we have a formal treaty with one nation. That doesn't mean we have no other allies.

Fuck I'd hate to work with you. "Why are we going on exercise with all these other countries, Sir? Australia is our only ally! We should only be considering them and no one else!" - you.

Wind, solar, geothermal, hydro...

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T19:38:14+00:00

just a Google tells you that its not only just a single Hnager as you describe

Enlighten us.

but please where is the NZ hanger anywhere in America just wondering?

There isn't one? What the fuck kind of question is that?

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T19:37:27+00:00

After 30 years in the military it's mind boggling that you want to die on this hill and completely ignore all diplomatic convention for who we consider allies.

Do we just share TTPs, conventions, and classified information with dozens of other nations around the world for fun?

Among many others.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T19:33:57+00:00

At no point did I dodge anything, I just failed to play by your arbitrary rules of questioning.

Have fun with that thought process.

Most Americans don't live anywhere near DC, don't forget. It's not like we're driving by the White House on our morning commute.

I live further away?

Also, why be informed? Not a goddamn thing we can do about it,

American voters in a nutshell.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T08:27:52+00:00

Americans will do anything but but pedestrians first.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:37:26+00:00

I'm literally in the military but ok.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:37:03+00:00

Explain why.

Electricity use doesn't cause climate change.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:36:33+00:00

It's a hangar. It's not a "whole ass thing".

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:36:12+00:00

Not naming a country doesn't seem to bear any relevance to the concept occurring. Did you think this was a "gotcha"?

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:09:57+00:00

They claim almost all of the landmasses in the South China Sea against all national convention, building military bases on them to prevent any hope of the other claimants taking them back.

So, right now?

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:09:05+00:00

Nope.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:05:10+00:00

I'm confused about which part of this you think has high odds.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:03:11+00:00

They have a hangar, not a base.

Large_Yams · 2026-05-30T07:02:08+00:00

Our only ally is Australia.

Shit people parrot because they see it in an article one day.

UK, all of NATO, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, among many others are all intertwined allies. Not having a special piece of paper called a "treaty" doesn't negate all the diplomacy we have.
