Yes, and when we bombed Germany in WW2 we killed hundreds of children. War is bad. Terrorism is bad. But they are different things.

I mean you are fundamentally making an argument against war. Which I agree with. When waging war someone innocent is always going to get caught in the crossfire, which is one of the many reasons war is bad.

But to call all acts of war terrorism, and all terrorism an act of war, is to pretend words don’t have meanings.

If the beepers and radios were targeted at Hezbollah militia members, then it isn’t terrorism.

If the equipment was sold in regular retail channels meant for the general Lebanese population, then it is terrorism.

We don’t know enough to make that call 100%, but early analysis is strongly suggesting it was targeted.

To call it terrorism at this point is flippant and unsupported, and draws attention away from and fails to highlight their larger crime of genocide.

This flippant accusation misses the grander issue.

If Israel is capable of precisely targeting enemy military like this, then why are there 35k dead in Gaza?

Elon is a nazi but this was always bound to happen as we expand our presence in space.

Imagine the radio signature of any of the hundreds of orbital megastructures in sci fi.

The minute you put your 1 day old baby in a rickety baby stroller is when you understand the appeal of jogging strollers.

People are basically giving their kids TBI in “compact” strollers with no suspension and tiny wheels.

This article is basically running cover for Candace and Kanye by not quoting what they said.

You bring up thought crime but forget that the entire point of newspeak is to reduce the ability to think at all.

Most people can’t own their consumption patterns while under the constant barrage of mental reprogramming that is advertising.

No matter what the author did to the main repo, the various forks will have the entire git history. From most recent forks git history you simply check out the most recent revision before the license change.

They transitioned most of their devices to usb save the iPhone before the EU legislation went into effect.

Apple caught shit for going USB-C only on their laptops years ago.
