I won't pretend that it's not reckless and that it won't feed this endless cycle of hatred and violence.

On the other hand, I won't deny that as an intelligence/military OP, it's extremely impressive and as targeted as it gets for a mass attack that involves explosives.



Compare that to the FSB and its copies of the Sims 3 or the bros visiting the famous Salisbury Cathedral, and Mossad is just on another level nowadays.

In todays exciting episode of 'That Happened!', a moron with a GameCube avatar desperately tries to make himself sound very, very, very important and as if he has deep-rooted connections within the Middle East:

I've now seen a few reports in Arabic from Lebanon say the pager attack against Hezbollah has left just over 4,000 of its troops injured, with 400 "critically" injured (as in life threatening) and 500 blinded. I'm waiting for an English translated article before I share on here but I've a few friends tell me these reports seem reliable.

Israel may have just severely dented Iran and Hezbollah.

Of course, multiple things can be true at once, and it's important to recognise any innocent civilians that may have been caught up in this. I suspect we'll have more detail about numbers in 48 hours. Hezbollah members could have been in public spaces when this occurred.

This is hugely embarrassing for the Iranian regime. I've just got off a Teams call with a colleague who works in the UAE as an international policy advisor and they consider this to be even more devastating than the death of the Hamas commander Iran were protecting but died whilst in Iran last month.

I've always feared escalation was going to happen sooner rather than later, but this might just kick things off.

Off to bed now as I'm UK based but I hope we know more tomorrow, including a strong response from the U.S and western allies.

Poor Era, really taking this attack on terrorists very, very hard



Edit: And you just know that these 'friends' and 'colleagues' are some rando's on an anime Discord server he's in.

I just love how these guys all write like they are some terrorism expert speaking live on a 24 hour news network that is desperate to fill in some dead air time between actual developments,

This reply

So that's your main takeaway about Israel and this situation from this???

Where's the hysterical outrage Anil?

What's the story on Nola? Wasn't he a regular on the old Bore? Everytime I see him on Ree, he's trying to ban-bait someone and plays wannabe mod.

That seems to be a common trait for a bunch of old old-bore members 

[Potato]

Imagine, as a terrorist parent, you have children. And also casually leave your terrorism toys around them.

This is exactly the point that Reeeeeesetera are missing. 

These were not random pagers. They were specifically purchased by Hezbollah, a terrorist organisation by their own definition, who distributed them to their "soldiers" as they themselves called them. 

This was not random violence. This was targeted military action.

[Boredfrom]

BitchDumbs: NO! IT WAS A TERROR ATTACK! Nepenthe told me it was.  ( I’m such a bitch UWU kyaaaa!   )

[DocWager]

If somebody has the balls, the next time a country strikes at another country, “terrorist attack” should be in the headline.

[Besticus Maximus]

If you think this is targeted, imagine, if you will, something unrelated! How do you like that, you cunts 

[Snoopy]

Seriously tho.

Also from CNN -

Israel placed explosive material in a batch of Taiwanese-made pagers which were imported into Lebanon and destined for Hezbollah, The New York Times reported, citing American and other officials briefed on the operation.

The explosives were planted next to the battery in each pager, and a switch embedded to detonate them remotely, according to The New York Times.

CNN previously reported that the pagers that exploded had been purchased by Hezbollah in recent months, according to a Lebanese security source.

The devices detonated simultaneously after receiving a message on Tuesday afternoon.

User banned (1 month): justifying terrorism

It's terrible that innocent people were injured. But, like, fuck Hezbollah. They're a terrorist organization.

Still, some discretion should have been shown. The collateral damage is unacceptable.

What the fuck?

so last week without warning or build up the business i work for was bought by another business

immediately there was cuts, we lost our entire print team, just a quick culling of about 20 people

luckily for me, my position was considered necessary, but with a cavate

"re-interview"

just got out of it now, basically was 15 mins of me selling myself as essential to the business, pleading my case to the new owners

pretty demoralizing stuff

im making plans on moving next year and leaving this job whether i get to keep it or not, im just about done here i think

Wish there was just a mass exodus of twitter already

If a bunch of people on resetera, a forum that exists literally because a person running the previous show turned out to be... less than chivalrous, won't even commit to that because of their social media addiction, what chance is there of the general population doing so.

Everyone who still has a personal twitter account is OK with Musk and everything he does if it means they get their social media fix.

I enjoyed the red lines question later on the thread (summary: is there any red line of elon activity that would make you quit twitter?)

The response: 

Can I do job networking on bluesky? Can I get commissions consistently on bluesky in spite of most of my interactions? The red line on twitter would need to be these things eroding on Twitter's end. Frankly, I don't see it happening until they do something that either bans NSFW artists or they simply shut Twitter down, which will be happening in due time I'm sure.

How the fuck these people are so small-minded and navel gazing, while simultaneously demanding others move heaven and earth to satisfy them?

Er, wait, I think I just answered my own question.

[Jansen]

I wonder how queer became a word for men who lust after 2d women

When did bluesky go online?

[DavidCroquet]

Does anyone have a good line on Era membership over time? 

I’ve said it before but the site and its relationship with it’s members has seemed especially fucked up lately. Also they seem more troll infested than ever. Maybe its the haterade I been sippin, but the site seems a lot less healthy than even a year ago.

Is election year and many of the OG posters are long gone.

[Disco55]

I guess that is what happens when you kept on banning an ever dwindling population on your site. The people who have their head on stright and who actually knowledgeable are either banned or left, so only the extremists, the weirdos, and the crazys remain.

Most of these posters are plain dumb. Like it feels like they're actually stupid. I don't get it. They complain about prices and inflation, but the same folks are talking about the ps5 pro. Same thing when the topic of cops shows up. Same scared fuckers say acab (which I agree with and will use at jury duty next week so i get out) but then run to the cops when something goes wrong.
