Have I ever told you the definition of perfection?

Bro just discovered submarines…

Sure buddy. Fuck off back to Reddit or whatever shithole you came from.

When you make a post so bad in the Canada community and it gets taken down so you copy-paste it into the shitposting community to see if you get any attention.

For anyone that doesn’t know what I’m talking about. Go look at OPs mod history.

The best thing about online games is the opportunity for Mats, and others like him, to be who he truly was. Once you find the right group of people, it doesn’t what color your skin is, what’s between your legs, what your physical advantages/disadvantages are. All that mattered was your character and your determination. And you aren’t limited by your geography even. You can interact with people all over the world and enrich yourself along with enriching themselves by providing a brief glimpse in each others lives. It’s actually a beautiful thing how many stories there are like this one there are out there. Games like WoW enabled Mats to be the person who he truly was before he passed. It’s a bittersweet moment for the parents. I hope it gives them the closure they need.

Just do a fresh install man. I’m getting anxiety just by looking at it.

And America is using that to exert their influence on that region in the world. Sure sounds like a proxy. Just because Israel has more power in American politics compared to Ukraine doesn’t mean they aren’t a proxy.

Essentially, the new law will mean that storefronts like Steam will no longer be able to use terms such as “buy” or “purchase” when advertising a game that always requires an online connection. Since you won’t technically own the product and servers being taken offline would render the product useless, a different word will have to be used.

The official phrasing in the bill’s summary reads, it will “prohibit a seller of a digital good from advertising or offering for sale a digital good, as defined, to a purchaser with the terms buy, purchase, or any other term which a reasonable person would understand.”

That’s actually a very good reason IMO.

Except if the person decides to harass or stalk you in real life after reading the reasons. These aren’t hypotheticals, these things happen.

Browse all and sort by new or scaled maybe?

I feel like you and I could go back and forth on this discussion for a very long time. I do disagree with your logic, but I also do see where you’re coming from(kinda). Hopefully you don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t see too much benefit in arguing semantics over a word choice of a problem we both agree exists. I think it’s best if we simply agree to disagree and go on with our days.

Any number of politicians, police officers and domestic legal experts openly disagree with you. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “deter criminals” many times before.

That point is used for political theatre. How often do you see the conviction of a crime justified in the name of deterrence of future crimes in a courtroom? EDIT: Again, this example isn’t related to the above situation.

Spraying bullets vaguely towards the enemy is not unusual at all in infantry operations. Quite often they’re concealed or covered, and you either want to keep them that way or kill them before they can kill you, regardless. In fact, the automatic setting on an ordinary assault rifle can’t do anything else.

The point I’m trying make here is that Israel had no actual way of verifying they were hitting Hezbollah members. They just intercepted a shipment of pagers going to Lebanon that they know Hezbollah members used and put in explosives. What happened if you’re just a regular guy trying to buy one of those pagers? How did Israel know that actual Hezbollah members were in possession of pagers when they hit the button to blow them up? The short answer is they didn’t know the answer to either of those questions. That’s why there were innocent casualties. Hence, calling it an act of terror.

Yes. High-tech or not it’s a big boom and you only have you’re intelligence guy’s best guess about who’s inside of or next to the military position. It sounds like you might have fallen for some “surgical strike” type rhetoric here yourself.

I genuinely don’t know how to explain to you that exploding a bunch of pagers with no knowledge of where they are or who has them at any given time has more potential for collateral damage than an airstrike using advanced weaponry on a military target. Just because Israel doesn’t care about civilian casualties and likes to carpet bomb entire neighborhoods doesn’t make your point valid.

So when the police arrest someone for stealing in order to deter other potential thieves, that’s an act of terror?

Police arrest and imprison a thief because they are a thief and have done a crime. Deterrence is not the main intent and just a byproduct. This was an intentional escalation of an already volatile situation to promote fear in the Lebanese population and provoke a response from Hezbollah. These 2 situations are in no way related.

Collective punishment is a war crime, but this was directed at personnel of a military adversary, not Lebanese people in general.

Unless the pagers had some kind of biometrics capability capable of verifying that the person beside the pager was a Hezbollah member and no one else was around then it was not “directed at personnel of a military adversary”. You don’t play a shooter and say spray-and-pray is an effective strategy because over 80% of the bullets hit the target.

These UN experts seem to think it was indiscriminate, and they’re way more qualified than me

If experts are saying something then maybe you should listen?

but at the same time an airstrike on a specifically military target is generally considered okay, and has way higher potential for collateral damage.

An airstrike with guided missiles on some of the most advanced fighter jets in history has more potential for collateral damage than a bunch of improvised IED’s spread throughout a population? Really?

This sounds like a good idea on paper but will likely be terrible in real life. A lot of people ghost for their own safety. So many people have stories of dates turning nasty if they feel like they’re being rejected or criticized. Being forced to describe what you don’t like about the other person will not always end well.

It really is an act of terror. This isn’t subjective. If you attack a population and spread terror among them than it’s an act of terror.

“It is also a war crime to commit violence intended to spread terror among civilians, including to intimidate or deter them from supporting an adversary,” the experts warned. “A climate of fear now pervades everyday life in Lebanon,” they said.

Saying it’s close to a surgeon compared to the rest of Israel’s actions is like saying a sawed-off shotgun is slightly more accurate because you added a tiny barrel to decrease it’s spread. It’s common knowledge this was an act of terror that violated international law and was intended to escalate the conflict to help keep Bibi and his cronies in power while also grabbing more land from Palestine and Lebanon. Calling it “surgical” is not just propaganda. It’s an outright lie and intended to misdirect from what’s actually happening.

If they were surgical then why did innocent civilians and children get hurt? What kind of surgeons are you used to and what on earth is their level of success?

Meanwhile, Lebanon is still firing rockets at Israel. The only reason that not more Israeli civilians are dead is because of the Iron Dome

Why is Israel getting attacked by Hezbollah? (It’s not Lebanon attacking Israel.)

Talk about being obtuse.

They couldn’t find a better picture for the article?

Like just imagine Kratos in a top hat:

“Hello my baby, Hello my Honey, hello my ragtime gal!”

Oh, thank goodness. Just need to deal with the psychological trauma as I blow up names on the list and try to dissociate from the fact that these are people and I’ve become a mass murderer in the name of corporate profits. Hope they have good mental health coverage!
