Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah’s Islamic Health Organization. The Lebanese army chief later confirmed this to local media

Add yet another instance of perfidy to the list of war crimes.

Excuse me, that’s Doctor Wife. She didn’t spend all that time, effort, and money going through medical school to not have her title used to give weight to her idiot husband’s stupid statements.

The first thing I wondered when I heard the news was if she knew, because this same thing has happened before. Despite “you’re fired” being the phrase that made Trump famous, outside of scripted television he’s a chickenshit coward who can’t fire underlings in person. He has to do it indirectly to avoid confrontations.

Trump’s first impeachment happened because he was holding up Congressionally-mandated aid to Ukraine, trying to blackmail them into opening a false investigation into Biden to aid Trump’s reelection campaign. He only allowed the aid to go through after he became aware his actions were under investigation.

"We’re beginning to get the American people to think that deporting people is wrong,” Tillis said

“Stop making evil look bad!”

You’d think if that was their plan they wouldn’t have sat back and watched Iran kill tens of thousands of protesters earlier this year.

It’s an advanced hot dog holding technique known as “the imminent deepthroat”.

Archive.today became non-citable the moment it began altering archived webpages, regardless of anything else.

Nah, they simply invited Trump to their next “bring your daughter to work” day. Why would a CEO do anything when they have a perfectly good workforce to exploit?

I never would have guessed that the knife guy was actually a sentient motorcycle.

“The internet would be a series of tubes if we rolled out fiber, but as the literal chairman of the Senate committee regulating the internet I’m somehow against that.”

Gnome’s devs are insular and don’t listen to suggestions from outsiders. That sounds like Svirfneblin to me!

Scotch Bonnet sure sounds like a novelty strawberry cultivar with a whimsical name.

I don’t think there’s enough information about Gabe Newell to make a solid determination of morality. His company makes a good product - one that focuses on maximizing the quality of the user experience instead of extracting every cent it can. That’s rare and admirable, but Valve also ushered in the era of loot crates with TF2 and CS and designed some of the most predatory forms of that model.

Regarding Gabe himself, if he makes large donations to charity he doesn’t advertise that fact. But he’s a private person, so it’s possible he’s a major philanthropist but keeps it anonymous. He seemingly lacks the obvious vices of other billionaires (he doesn’t interfere in politics or commit sex crimes) and hasn’t been caught in any scandals. The worst thing he’s done that I’m aware of is that time Valve gave a fake job offer to the Half-Life 2 leaker in hopes of getting him into the country so the feds could grab him.

He also doesn’t seem to do much with his money. His main hobby is collecting knives, something he could have done with a fraction of a fraction of a percent of his wealth. He does own a fleet of yachts, but he demands they be as environmentally friendly as possible and leases them out for ecological research when he’s not using them.

I’d personally rate him as neutral. He’s not doing anything to make the world worse, but he’s not really doing much to improve it either. The bar is just so low for billionaires that he seems amazing in comparison.

Warren Buffet is the closest thing there is to a “good” billionaire. He made his money through responsible investing (investing in stocks based on the quality of the company and product rather than demanding short-term profit at the expense of future sustainability like the rest of the market), openly campaigns for higher taxes on the wealthy, pays his employees a generous wage, and was one of the first to join Bill Gates’ Giving Pledge and the only billionaire I know of to immediately follow through and donate away huge swaths of his fortune, while the other Pledges only gave vague promises to donate a portion of their wealth to charity at some point before they die.

He’s not perfect, but if more wealthy people were like him the world would be a much better place.

I remember when multiple school busses of students went missing and it turned out the Mexican military thought they were rivals of the local cartel pretending to be students, so they handed the busses over to said cartel. Who immediately murdered everyone on board, then hid the bodies and the vehicles after they realized they fucked up and killed a bunch of innocent students.

The cartels are capital-E Evil to a degree most people can’t conceptualize, and the authorities are hopelessly corrupt and openly assist them.

I hope you thanked him. Those screws, like all hard drive screws you take your eyes off of for more than thirty seconds, would have vanished forever otherwise.

That’s what they said about his previous ridiculous bonus package (following that outcry, Musk replaced the board with family and sycophants). Tesla’s valuation is completely divorced from reality and I wouldn’t be shocked if he somehow grifts his way into meeting the targets, at least on paper.
