That's a good point.

And from everything we see it really seems like the IDF really doesn't gaf about collateral damage either, so they probably didn't care that they'd give any of these away to other people.

But like... A communication device seems like THE most suspicious equipment you can get. I'm shocked nobody verified, and I'm shocked that they had the audacity to even attempt.

Wrt giving/selling the pagers, well, I'll have to read more to find out if that happened. It wouldn't surprise me but also I imagine it'd be hard to find out.

I'm still trying to understand why Hezbollah people were like

Thank you for this pager, stranger, I'll use this without question for the next few months, and certainly not give it away or sell it or take it apart.

And why anyone thought that it'd go that way.

I'll need to read more about it, maybe this is explained, but it seems like such a long shot

Looks pretty normal to me for forest stream. The bed of a slow moving stream is typically gonna be pretty dark color, and there is nothing bright around to reflect off the surface

Activity pub
... Activists?

Fediverse
... Versus?

Giving me anxiety just looking at it

For complete strangers who you never see again, it doesn't matter if you judge them or not, you'll never see them again.

It's useful on aggregate to tell the general attitude of an area to set expectations for interacting with strangers.

But mostly what people are talking about is when you're getting to know someone. If you find out an acquaintance or romantic prospect does/doesn't then it's one (of many) indicators you can gather to build a model of them.

Remember, this isn't deep. This is intentionally super simple. There is no "struggle" involved that wouldn't be immediately apparent. There is very little room for nuance because there is very little to be nuanced about.

This is "given the chance, will this person spend a trivial amount of effort to make someone's life easier, if there is no personal gain?"

Let me put it another way:
They fail the vibe check
It's a red flag

Bad vibes and red flags don't mean for sure someone is a bad person, they're a call to be alert and suspicious.

It's absolutely a good.

The only "cart returner" I saw against it basically just claimed that the people in their town/state/country were too incompetent to operate shopping carts (even if that's not what they explicitly said) so idk if i really trust them or want to use that as a measure.

Making work for others to save yourself some trivial amount of work absolutely says something about your character

I think you mean Saddam Hu**bean**

But seriously tho, yeah, NSFW in the absence of another more specific tag.

Some people are recovering from addiction and stuff, good to give them a way to filter it out

Maybe we need a new tag:
ANFW absolutely necessary for work
