Nah, it had the purpose of doing a genocide on Palestine. It desensitizing people to Venezuela is just a highly hoped for bonus, per those pushing it.

It was probably their own fault they got smooshed by The Hand, anyway. Obviously, they did heinous things no one knows about or The Hand wouldn't have chosen them for smooshing.

It's also just not true, the villain/killer/etc has iPhones in many shows and movies already, including multiple AppleTV shows.

So much this. You can fix blatant bugs sometimes and have people whine because it breaks their flow to have it work correctly.

What do you mean you made it so it no longer freezes for 20 seconds after clicking the Q-button?! I count on that pause to ensure my J-Flame comes at the right time! How dare you?!

did anybody notice that the hundreds of thousands of deaths attributed to the opioid epidemic included heroin?

This is because of two main things, AFAIK.

1. The number of heroin and other opiate addicts that got that way because of prescription opioids. This is a period of time where a significant majority of opiate/opioid addicts started on legally prescribed pills, were kept on them too long and weren't properly tapered off. Many then sought street versions of the drugs to avoid withdrawals and fell further into addiction.

2. Adulteration of other drugs. It has long been common to adulterate drugs by adding cheaper but stronger drugs and filler to the mix so that most users know something is happening but remain unaware they paid more for a mix of dubious efficacy. Incomplete mixing, higher tolerance to the advertised drug than the additive one, or are in some way compounding in the mixed drugs cause many more overdose deaths than those of known and consistent effects.

And when both aspects combine, it can prove to be a particularly deadly combo.

Unfortunately, they are people. Evil, narcissistic, sociopathic, detestable people. Dehumanizing them is easy because of how inhumane they are, but it jumpstarts one of the more verified slippery slopes that ends up "justifying" atrocities.

That being said, I'm all for them being stripped of every possession and asset they've ever had, sending every participant family member and associate put in a different high security prison for life, and possibly sentencing them under 13th amendment slavery rules with all revenue going to addiction treatment.

Because they're people. And they deserve all of the things our judicial system has to offer. As people. Evil, shitty, greedy, people.

A captured justice system that has been corrupted by twisted, mutant late stage capitalism, mostly.

If we can't even hold the nation hostage, what's the point of authoritarian control?!

Upvoted you, but they frequently fly out of smaller/private airports that don't have direct ATC control anyway, so it's unlikely that's a significant contributor to a solution. Though I definitely agree it should be done at whatever scale it can be to improve general conditions.

TBF, an investor could make a thousand good investments and I'd still regard their opinion as worthless (here's lookin' at you, Buffet.) Being "good" at figuring out which stocks and companies you can exploit the most from the actually productive economy doesn't make you smart or in anyway good.

Ding Dong the Dick is dead, the wicked Dick. Which old Dick? The wicked Dick.

He's gone below where the goblins go.

FWIW, photosensitive epilepsy is typically only triggered at flash rates between 3-30 hertz. The rate of flashing shown is extremely unlikely to cause seizures even in generally susceptible individuals.
