As subject. In Gastown, a plane flew over putting out rainbow contrail. Why? O_o

Some festival?

    I got a good look and there were roughly 7 of them flying in tight formation, so it has to have been some kind of air show. But I can’t find anything about one happening today even looking at NOTAMs (pilot information notices), and the Celebration of Light doesn’t start until Saturday. I’m stumped too!

    It’s almost Pride, no? I wonder if it was practice, or to start hyping up with the festival starting next week.

      Hugs, sweetie. I’m sorry your parents fed you lead chips. I love you and I hope you can get the support you need.

          Contrails. Not chemtrails. Contrails are airplane engine vapour exhaust; chemtrails are what make the frogs gay.

            I know what the fuck they are, and I also know that the conspiracy idiots use both words.

            I’m not the one that made a post that, for all intents and purposes, sounds like someone trying to bait conspiracy bullshit.

              I don’t know what to tell you man. Airplane flew overhead trailing coloured contrails. It was pretty neat, I was wondering if anyone else knew why it was happening. I feel you need maybe to recalibrate your Alex Jones-dar. :)

              Frankly, you could be a little less aggressive.

                Sorry about that. If you can’t tell, I’m not ok anymore, and I might not be alive much longer. I can’t take this fucking world anymore. The amount of fascism and stupidity and destruction of our environment is just too much at this point, and it’s not going to get better. I’d rather die by my own hand than some fucking christo-fascist MAGA retard.

                Anyway, glad you saw something cool.

                  Same as my original reply, but more sincerely: I hope you can get the support you need. Lemmy ain’t it.

                  It’s hard when you care about the direction the world is taking. It’s good that it hurts, shows you still care.

                  I don’t have advice. I feel hopeless too, sometimes. I try to channel it and spur me to action, or bury it in video games.
