I had a hunch it would be Nerdcubed. This is almost as good as his birdplane moment: https://youtu.be/QR0DzGS8Q2c?t=539

It’s just clumsy whataboutism. Nothing more to it.

Consider looking into 3D-printed cases, if you have access to a printer or thought about getting one. Lots of nice small designs out there. For the price of one of your cases, you can get an excellent printer already.

This doesn’t look like small form factor to me, if that’s what SFF stands for.

The difference with Atomic Heart is that it wasn’t just made by a Russian developer, but that it also promoted a questionable outlook on the Soviet Union that closely mirrors the one the current Russian government is promoting.

Reductio ad absurdum, meet your distant cousin, reductio ad Judeam.

Whataboutism isn’t a good look, but it’s consistently the only defense that people who defend autocratic hellholes like Russia and China come up with. You know it’s not even remotely the same.

I think you should look into what Hezbollah actually says instead of naively (or deliberately) creating a false equivalency. Here’s what they teach schoolchildren:

That’s not what I said. Israel has to fight back and since they are small, much smaller than their enemies, they need to be smart about it. This is an example of that, not only ingenious in concept and execution, but also significantly more humane than any alternative. Again, an attack this targeted against military or terrorist personnel is the very opposite of terrorism.

If you think you can negotiate anything even remotely resembling peace with an organization that has vowed to not just eradicate Israel, but every Jew in the world, then you’re hopelessly misguided.

Because Reuters usually doesn’t publish misleading opinion pieces.

This batch of pagers was exclusively ordered and used by Hezbollah after their leader demanded they stop using Smartphones for security reasons. This isn’t is sigint, it was a supply-chain attack. It wasn’t random pagers that exploded, but only those that were distributed by the terrorist org to its officers.

That is a silly take if I’ve ever seen one. How more targeted can you get than to make pagers that are exclusively used by a terrorist organization explode with such little force that even bystanders who are one meter away are unharmed, that even fruit at a vegetable stand right next to the targeted terrorist remains unspoiled? This is the very opposite of terrorism, literally the most precise strike on a terrorist organization or military as a whole in history, infinitely superior to a land invasion or air strikes. In the real world, it doesn’t get any more perfect than this. It would be preposterous for a strike on thousands of targets to result in zero collateral damage, but I would bet good money that once (or if) the actual numbers ever come out, it’ll be the most favorable combatant to civilian casualty rate for an operation of this size in recorded history.

How naive does one have to be to trust official accounts on the number and age of the victims from a failed state that is effectively under full control of a terrorist organization? I can assure you that the estimated five grams of explosive have resulted in far more terrorist deaths than just 10, even during just the first strike - but Hezbollah won’t be willing to admit as much and instead present, through their intermediaries in the Lebanese government, a convenient fake figure and two maybe real, maybe invented civilian casualties that you’ll happily regurgitate just as much as you happily regurgitate figures from the Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza.

I get the feeling that what many of Israel’s critics are asking of the country is to just roll over and die, that no matter to how absolutely extreme lengths they go to minimize civilian casualties compared to literally everyone else on this planet, it’s all categorically wrong, because those dastardly Jews had the audacity to not present their other cheek, even as hundreds of thousands of them had to flee their bombs due to near constant Hezbollah bombardments of civilian areas in the North of Israel. Were you even aware of this? Do you really think that this situation could go on indefinitely?

What you would call “a bunch of propaganda” here: How is any of this even remotely similar to the Holocaust?

Probably wrote at least parts of the article.

Sorry for the late answer, but about 20 years ago I read an absolutely vile piece of Tankie propaganda (surprisingly in the shape of a book that my local library had) that portrayed Tibetans as basically barbarians who should call themselves lucky to be civilized by China. I don’t recall the title, but the author was German. I convinced the library to remove this book from their inventory.

But what about…
