Israel put bombs in pagers and radios and secretly sold them to Hezbollah. The only people who therefore would have had them were people Hezbollah gave them to to coordinate with. You can't really get more targeted than that. There's not some magic Jewish radio waves blowing up civilian radios lol.

If they're on active duty, they're legitimate military targets. If they're on inactive duty, they're considered civilians.

But if they are active duty and have military comms, it's just called an "attack", not a "terror attack", even if the attackers are otherwise terrorists.

You can look up the videos. People standing three feet away are fine while the person with the pager is down for the count. Innocents are always harmed in war, but this was about as precise and just a strike as humanly possible.

These were pagers specifically ordered by Hezbollah. Random civilians wouldn't have had them.

Ironically, Odysee doesn't have enough censorship for me. Like any fledgling community, the main inhabitants of any alternatives are people who aren't welcomed on mainstream social media. And I don't mean the modern "every person right of me is a Nazi". I mean a lot videos have comments calling for killing all Jews, one of the top education videos on the front page is by an occultist about how the wrong witchcraft caused 9/11, another is how the vaccines are going to start killing babies, etc.

Technically, it's fine, but who wants to post good videos or interact in a community of crazies?

Someone ideologically somewhere between his greatest heroes, Stalin and Mao.

Call it pessimistic, but if your society relies on building many, many more houses out of the goodness of their hearts, you're going to have a bad time.

Your card is charged instantly, but it can take a week or two before it's cleared the fed's anti-fraud measures and they're assured you're not reversing it through your bank. Then they send the refund and it can take another week or two before your bank clears it and makes sure that they're not reversing their payment. Add in some wiggle room to cover yourself in case something gets flagged as potentially fraudulent and someone has to manually review it, and it can take a while.

In practice, refunds should arrive this week, but they want to be careful not to promise that in every case. What they're mainly worried about is people buying the game, immediately refunding it, and simultaneously doing a chargeback while in some faraway country.

Artificial price caps just disincentivize people from creating more of that good. They don't solve the underlying problem at all. You just replace people paying more with widespread shortages and people not having it at all.

The goal to reduce prices to increase supply—incentivize people to create more of those things cheaper somehow.

Malt-O-Meal cereal is often better than the name brand and even comes in a resealable bag.

It was originally the Latin word "carnis". They invented the fast from meat specifically to mean giving up the best food of, like, beef and chicken. When translated into English, "meat" was the best word they had to refer to the concept of land animal meat.
