militarily speaking, what they did was fucking retarded.
It wasn't though. You're assuming that escalation is bad for Israel.
It's become very clear that Israel saw the Oct 7th attack as an opportunity to launch operations while public sentiment was on their side and now wants to enlarge the scope of this conflict to the point where the US and others are forced to get involved, in the hopes of either a decisive victory or some gains by the end.
I am reminded of these kids who used to be in my neighborhood:
- Israel and his brother can't agree on what game to play.
- Israel keeps slapping his brother. Not enough to cause real harm, but enough to provoke.
- His brother eventually hits him in retaliation.
- "WHaaaaaa, he punched me!"
- Babysitter sends the brother for "time out."
- Israel smugly plays the game he wants alone.
They'll bomb them just hard enough to drive refugees into Europe and provoke a response. They'll use the response as casus belli to escalate (using America's money and weapons). When the smoke clears, they'll play the victim and scoop up the land.
They've got nothing to lose by blowing up some terrorist in a neutral nation:
- The muslims hate them anyway
- Any escalation helps the long-term plan
- They kill some terrorist
It's militarily sound.
I said "battery assembly" for a reason. Take the real battery, put the charge on the one side, add a layer of packaging to make that entire unit look like a slightly larger battery.
Now it's in the device, but the odds of someone disassembling "the battery" are miniscule. They might remove it and replace it with a legitimate battery during regular use, but they're not going to dissect the tampered one.
You're right, crafting a contract that prevents her from doing collateral damage is probably more trouble than it is worth. But, my suggestion isn't to save her. It's to use her considerable power to kill even more demons in places where you are not.
If you're really willing to go for high risk/high reward, you let her keep the scales and command her to turn every demon with less mana than her into a suicidal demon-slayer themselves. Frieren gets to continue on her casual journey while more and more demons wipe out their own kind.
Although that tactic sounds a little too much like western universities now that I think about it...
The soy has a minor point. If it's truly an unbreakable command, "kill as many demons as you can and then yourself," may have been a more optimal choice. Depends on if there was a risk Aura could break free eventually.
Of course it depends on the universe we're operating in. Vermeil or the DxD crew are befriendable demons.

I was thinking of #5 here https://ghostarchive.org/archive/oKVaw which is pretty fabulous.
Then I saw #6 which looks like it belongs at a BDSM club.
I think people are more likely to let it slide in cape stuff which was campy back when they originally enjoyed it. Plenty of the old comic costumes were adjacent to fetishwear and there's no shortage of flamboyant characters. Haven't seen this show because it's Disney, but it wouldn't be the first time Magneto was running around in magenta with a deep-V neck either.

Here's the link to OP page. Feel free to archive it. Of course none of the drop down menu selections are encoded in the URL, so I'm not sure how you're going to do that. But it's clearly very important to you, so you're going to figure it out for us, right?
That?
If anyone forgets the context during GG, people were mocking the dress code of some con (PAX?) for banning "aggressive displays of navel." IIRC, it might have been the one where they made Nigiri go and change. Grummz and everyone else was shitposting about it. People were tweeting him pictures of navels and he was retweeting them because it was funny.
That is their big gotcha.
Even flesh-and-blood streamers are playing a character to some degree. From a slightly exaggerated version of themselves to someone like Dr. Disrespect. Hiding behind a jpg, model, or a mullet and shades are just different degrees of the same thing.
I get the impression there might be a heavy overlap with the DnD and MMO RPing groups too. Bunch of theater kids, basically.
If I gave a shit about downvotes, I'd probably have downvoted at least one of you, right?
And if you really want to do the "you criticized something, so that proves you're that thing yourself!" argument. The overly-emotional reactions to my comment show that people are defensive. And they wouldn't be defensive unless they were embarrassed.
Why? He's not wrong. They should still exist and they should still be used if necessary, but you should feel somewhat embarrassed about it and be thankful to any co-workers who went out of their way to cover for you.
Edit: Getting knocked on your ass by a one-day sickness is embarrassing regardless of work situation. It happens, but it's still an embarrassing show of weakness. If you disagree, you might want to get your blood-soy levels checked. That might be why you're sick.
Edit 2: You guys aren't getting it. I'm not saying it's some deep shame. It's a minor thing. Like if two people are going through a door in opposite directions and do the stupid little dance where neither can decide if they should go first. It happens to everyone. It's not a big deal. It's still embarrassing because you look like a retard. If you don't feel any embarrassment at all after looking weak or looking like a retard, it's because you're used to being seen that way. No one is saying you should go in and blow snot on everyone. Only that you should feel the slightest bit guilty for inconveniencing others to carry your responsibilities. But maybe I just still remember the slightest bit of a high-trust society.
Fun fact: Higher doses of I-131 can be less dangerous than low does because the high dose kills cell while the lower doses mutate them into cancer. So Antonio is right, in that case sort of. Just probably not for the right reasons.
You're right, but this is likely of those cases where it seems like they do nothing because we're used to a status quo where they're working.
Yeah, there are plenty of bad and unlicensed drivers on the road. Now imagine that everyone of age (is there still an age limit?) was just thrown the keys w/o any instruction as to things like "right of way." Shit would probably look like India. Bad drivers exist, but they're not all bad drivers.
This is a great retard test. People will be freaking out about "the glasses," while ignoring that they're just a camera and that the existence of "the glasses" has nothing to do with the lack of privacy because the data is already there and advertisers and the feds have been doing a far deeper version of this for years already.
It's great that this is making people suddenly aware but it'll be like the retarded panic over Google Glass. People will put up signs saying "no scary glasses" at the most and then go on handing over EiB of PII same as they always have and sleep on the underlying issues.
By the same token, the "AI" part is a footnote. Reverse image lookup has existed for a long time. AI may have improved facial recognition, but these guys are throwing a jpg at a commercial website (https://pimeyes.com/) someone else runs. There is nothing "AI" about the glasses.
A weekend project is not some giant leap in the surveillance state. It just made you pay attention until you stop again. But people will probably go after these two thinking they're evil geniuses or something.
