Since they compromised the supply chain to plant explosives, they could have also put other tracking equipment in. Its possible though that it would be too hard to conceal an outgoing signal from testing.

We probably will never know the exact details, but it just seems like a lack of creativity to me. Seems more like a military attack than a cyber ops style thing.

Right, and there is no state sponsored discrimination of minorities in america. Go ahead and show me a law that explicitly states it.

Being Jewish or Russian in Ukraine is the same as living in New York and being from New Jersey. It has fuckall to do with racism or how people are treated in different regions.

Well it seems its up to the attacker to decide what is considered valid military targets. Al Qaeda viewed 9/11 as a valid military target.

Indiscriminate killing is always bad, no matter how targeted you think it is. In this case it was mass maiming, oh and a few kids died right? That’ll teach em to stop being bad people won’t it!

Maybe the truth is both will happen, but its not clear which would be the majority opinion, or the opinion of those in power.

I like your username!

And you are saying noone is allowed to fight on their own land, as it endangers the public.

Because that time of day is when the most people will be out in public. It seems deliberately designed to cause as much damage as widely as possible. Likely to cause fear in the population.

Wishful thinking, they aren’t fighting because they want to. Noone likes violence.

Is israel saying its a retaliation for that? Would make more sense.

Wouldnt disabled folk already shop online?

I was taking issue with the idea that making people walk farther to a place is always bad for disabled people.

Are you arguing the whole world needs to allow driving up to businesses so disabled people can shop?

Are you saying its essentially a thing Republicans don’t know about or understand? I have to assume every democrat has heard the word, and it has simple explanations too.

I was under the impression republicans knee but defended it but it could be an ignorance thing, thats a fair point.

Well if their voice won’t draw in buyers, than its a bad investment since you could just use some generic free version a bunch of non-voice actors were paid to make by the company they work for.

If money is to be made it won’t be the VAs capturing it is all I’m saying. They might even have no room in the market at all.

I think the part people leave out is that not everyone has the same goal. Most describe it as being “happy”, but never consider whether thats even possible to be happy nearly all the time.

The flaw there as I see it is that humans seem to always return to some sort of baseline emotional state, but this state is not happiness. Happiness is the spikes up while sadness are the spikes down, but given enough time it always comes back to baseline.

Thats why you can find really extreme examples of happiness. Some of the time I spent in jail were truly happy times, which really confused me at the time. On the other side you might see people become depressed during or after achieving their goals.

In my opinion, having the wrong expectations for how you should feel and for how long, can turn small curable problems into consuming destructive problems.

It should be: time plus perspective heals all wounds.

I meant it more like, why blow up the pagers you spent all this effort to compromise. I would have thought that having access to those devices would be worth more covertly.

I suppose its possible the only thing they could manage to sneak into the devices was explosives though, since you have to take the board apart to find it. Its likely it looked like a board component too.
