Officials also seized 14kg (31lbs) of hashish, 8kg (18lbs) of marijuana, more than €157,300 (£135,527) in cash, and six large aerial drones.

Holy crap. So, umm, what happens if snatch a drone carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars? Finders keepers?

jarfil,

Run.

If the owner finds you… like if they have a camera recording and the GPS location… you might get some free bullets on top of it.

Spain has some relatively strict gun control. That doesn’t mean someone controlling the smuggling of millions of € in drugs, can’t pay a few grand for some of his “acquaintances” to fly all the way over, get his property back “by whatever means”, and fly back the next day.

In September the Jordanian air force shot down two drones carrying crystal meth coming from Syria

Uh, what happens to the people below a drone-full-of-meth that’s shot down?

rbesfe,

The border between Jordan and Syria is mostly unpopulated desert. Time for a treasure hunt!

I was thinking the crystals would turn to fairy dust then you’d start floating and fly off to never never land

I mean, most drones do snitch, where can I buy a drone that doesn’t broadcast its position or have gps fences?

Often with women, if they’re attractive they aren’t taken as seriously (not considered as competent or intelligent for e.g.). I don’t think the same problem exists with men so this makes sense.

The next question is what percentage of men are considered attractive? My hunch is it’s not very high.

There’s more to life than being really really really ridiculously good looking

Drusenija,

…but why male models?

@chaosppe@lemmy.world avatar

A pretty difficult thing to check by asking someone. assuming they have been good looking all their life, how would even themselves know any different. Pretty obvious though that it helped the model as he’s literally a model 😂 Maybe there are studys to prove otherwise, but what about jealousy? That can be a pretty strong detractor. I have run into many people with small dick syndrome and most of them high up.

Well, yeah. We start higher anyway.

Lol humble brag.

That might not be entirely the case here. If you are far enough up the looks-ladder to be considered "good looking", that puts you in a much higher starting position relative to everyone else, especially other men. Because according to women, most men are ugly (or at least "less attractive than average"). I'd assume that if you're that conventionally attractive, you're going to get better treatment from other men too, even straight ones.

"Good looking" men are just very rare, it seems. It makes sense to me they'd get a bigger boost in socioeconomic rating from that alone. Less to share the spoils with, as it were.

DerisionConsulting,

I don’t think that attract men are rarer, societally it just seems like we’re being judged on different scales. Something I’ve noticed, although only anecdotally:

If you get a group of people attracted to women to describe what an attractive woman is, you’ll get a fairly similar answer.
This makes it easier to know where you stand, and also easier to become “more attractive” easier, because there is a fairly consistant goal to be achieved.

If you ask a group of people attracted to men to describe what an attractive man is, you’ll generally get a few different archetypes.
A guy with a beard will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.
A guy with abs will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.
A guy with little/no hair will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.
