You’re listing all of the reasons it’s not a monopoly - you can go almost anywhere else and buy the same good.

Therefore, I think Amazon has a literal monopoly in the tech industry right now, you're literally forced to buy from them

You literally weren’t and literally aren’t, so they’re literally not.

They have so aggressively and dominantly taken over the supply chain market that no other tech company can currently compete with them in any aspect at all.

If nobody was in competition with them, they’d be raising their prices.

That particular pager was in a bag, against a person, pointed away from anyone or anything else.

Where else would you carry a pager? You have to feel it when it vibrates.

Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.

Well, I’m sorry to hear that Lebanon’s glazers just got several months of guaranteed work, I guess, but I’m otherwise not sure why this is relevant.

And anyway, a single example isn't going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.

What reports?

Here’s an example of how targeted the strike was, despite literally going off in a crowd - nobody hurt but the intended target, no harm whatsoever beyond two feet. Doesn’t even bruise an apple

Several of the victims were children.

The fathers of these dead children will simply have to live with the terrible consequences of their involvement with antisemitic terror (who are we kidding, they don’t care.)

They went off in crowds.

In every such case only the agent was harmed. You’re proving how targeted the attack was.

Hezbollah publicly announces their war casualties so they’re the source

I don’t know how to explain that any more clearly. If you’re still puzzled, I recommend asking a question instead of posting a single word

It’s good actually that the mail doesn’t censor based on viewpoint

[-] crashfrog@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 month ago

Yup, and it seems like more and more that it wasn't explosives, but regular pagers tampered with to explode using parts they already contain as to not arouse suspicion.

Totally false.

Honestly, the real question to me is how many innocent people were maimed, injured, or killed in this attack.

Quite a bit fewer than 0.1% of the individual detonations appear to have harmed anyone except the Hezbollah operative assigned to the pager, so this doesn’t actually appear to be a question. The attack was extremely discriminate and targeted.

but if they're in a cafe they're not the only ones getting hurt.

In every case in which one of these went off in a cafe, the intended target was the only one hurt.

That's the true crime, the potentially disproportionate massacre of innocent civilians.

But that isn’t what happened. The opposite happened.

They weren’t “ordinary devices”, they were encrypted pagers manufactured specifically at Hezbollah’s request for their own use.

You needed to invite a lot more people and at least a few people who didn’t like wrestling.
