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.

Its worse than that, the prescription model for opiates for quite a while was to maximize two things:

  1. Time on medication, how long they use it for
  2. Higher doses, how much they use per dose

And this was because those two things going up meant profits went up.

When health is for profit, this is what happens.

Sort of. Its very expensive if someone else doesnt pay for it. CVS quoted me 350$ for a single dose inhaler.

It is true that its not hard to get if you go to places that offer help, but if I'm hiding an addiction from my family, I'm not stopping by the local methadone clinic for a box of naloxone.

As for marijuana legalization, its made a huge difference. Its one of the best comfort medications for handling minor opiate withdrawal, as it takes the place of maybe 5 or so other comfort medications that are often prescribed together.

It can't be abused the same way opiates can be, it has a ceiling affect and is not dangerous to the user immediately. On top of that, before it was legal, methadone clinics would either restrict their patients who used, or kick them out. Now, they see the drug test show marijuana and just don't care.

Thats mainly from the perspective of a drug addict. A drug naive person maybe is more likely to go to a dispensary and be happy with that rather than chase street highs.

Or maybe she died because she was young and small.

You and all the people upvoting you are fucking insane. Justifying a little girl during like this is peak American coping mechanisms.

Now you are getting it! War is bad!

Because it changes nothing in the long run. So what exactly was so imminent that this had to happen?

This is not normal for cyber ops. The only thing really that makes sense is if they needed to buy time so set off the pagers. Otherwise they just set their compromised communications devices on fire and told them they did it.

Depends who would pay more for the technology. Game developers or invidividual voice actors.

Maybe if they had a big enough union, they could swing it. Although at that point just get ai voices banned to protect your field.

Also, just an aside, I wouldnt pay extra for an AI version of an actor I liked. Thats still not them acting.

Thats a fair opinion, although I think its likely to cause the opposite reactions than you listed. But again, who really knows.

Also I'm sure most people in most places are good people, just like anywhere, Lebanon included.

I think the point is its a high turnover game, which is generally considered bad.

Also tons of people don't touch cod or battlefield anymore who used to.

Sort of telling how you can teach people to associate good thoughts with awful things. Conditioning is a bitch.
