Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening
  • They're delaying AC: Shadows.

  • Israel detonates Hezbollah walkie-talkies in second wave after pager attack
  • 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.

  • Israel detonates Hezbollah walkie-talkies in second wave after pager attack
  • 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.

  • Israel detonates Hezbollah walkie-talkies in second wave after pager attack
  • Hezbollah are enemy combatants. These were ordered by and for Hezbollah. Israel isn't targeting non-combatants.

  • Lebanon’s health minister says 8 killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers
  • 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.

  • Lebanon’s health minister says 8 killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers
  • These were pagers specifically ordered by Hezbollah. Random civilians wouldn't have had them.

  • Hezbollah members wounded in Lebanon when pagers explode
  • Israel appears to have infiltrated Hezbollah's pager supply chain, replaced them all with bomb pagers, and then sent a mass page to detonate them all.

    You can see a terrorist getting got here: https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1836037485492629605 (Not graphic)

    Edit: Iran's ambassador in Lebanon also had a Hezbollah pager

  • Search Risk – How Google Almost Killed Proton Mail
  • 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?

  • Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
  • Someone ideologically somewhere between his greatest heroes, Stalin and Mao.

  • Kamala Harris to propose up to $50,000 tax deduction for new small businesses
  • 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.

  • An important update on Concord - Being taken offline September 6th, refunds to be issued
  • 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.

  • Kamala Harris to propose up to $50,000 tax deduction for new small businesses
  • 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.

  • What is something you SHOULD cheap out on?
  • 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.

  • No, Catholics are possibly the most consistent religion in unanimously agreeing life begins at fertilization. (Which, eggs you eat aren't fertilized anyway.)

    They don't baptize stillborn "babies" because they don't believe in baptizing dead people, as it's just a body at that point, no longer a complete person. Plus they believe since there was no opportunity, there is a way to heaven for them in the afterlife.

    I've only heard the "first breath" thing in a few modern sects of Judaism.

  • UAV strike on the Kashira Power Plant in Kashira, Moscow region.
  • It's dual-use infrastructure. It is used for both civilian and military purposes, so it's a valid target under international law.

  • Harris says she won’t stop Biden’s policy of sending weapons to Israel
  • You mean 40% of Democrats want to decrease it, while the swing voters she needs to win an election are the most likely to support sending current or greater levels of support.

  • Nikki Haley in Taiwan says an isolationist policy is not healthy, while expressing support for Trump
    1. I don't think she thought she was negotiating anything.

    2. If John Sparkman, George McGovern, and John Kerry didn't get indicted for violating it, I think it's just unenforceable law for anyone.

  • Why are so many leaders in tech evil?
  • It's not even capitalism but just society in general. Good people typically look at what it takes to lead and want nothing for it. To strive to be in charge of things you have to have a certain arrogance and to succeed you have to be ruthless enough as well.

  • ‘Evangelicals For Harris’ Drops Brutal Ad Questioning If Trump is a ‘False Prophet’
  • 1 John 2:18 uses it both as a proper noun and as a generic noun, and nowadays "Antichrist" is more a colloquial name for the first beast of Revelation 13 even if that's not directly what the text clearly calls him.

    Regardless, I agree Trump is very anti-Christ. Hard to read 1 John 4 and not see almost the opposite of him.
