I was commenting more on the quote by the Professor where he says they are panicking because they are dying. To me that means there's a scenario where a shooter has started killing people indiscriminately or something like that and people are panicking in an attempt to leave. It seems an odd quote/reference to use when documenting organizational failures.

The existence of terrorists justify the ongoing slaughter and ethnic cleansing that has already claimed the lives of over 41,000 civilians, 14,000 of them are infants under the age of 1?

People don’t die because they panic. They panic because they are dying”.[5]

Such incidents are invariably the product of organisational failures.[4]

What's the expectation here? That there should be orderly exits and moderation in people attempting to evacuate an area when they are dying? I'm not seeing how these 2 dots are connected.

That's a pretty shitty thing to say over the egregious loss of life Israel has inflicted on the Lebanese and Palestinian population.

He should fly over to Palestine to share with the Palestinians on how being neglected feels.

It's been years since I played or looked at anything CS related. I had no idea they shut down CS:GO.

CS:GO is around the same age with much more players on average. GTA V's player count tends to fluctuate based on what I've seen.

Bit of both really.

All the games you listed like PUBG and GTA V are more like fads. Sure some lasted longer than others but their popularity dies down. Games like Counter Strike are considered to be more of classics. Especially to the older generation of gamers who grew up on them. These are games that are able to stand the test of time.

That's why you see jokes about old people and their backs or memes that are like "Welcome to your 30s. Here's some advil for your pain. Have a nice day."

It might not fix the neck pain depending on why you're experiencing the pain. You should definitely give a shit about your posture though. Your spine is responsible for keeping your whole upper body upright (along with your abdominal muscles and some others). Neglecting and mistreating that is not a good idea long term.

Do you mind sharing where you learned that America is sending a flight to actually evacuate Lebanese-Americans? The articles I have read saying they are sending troops there on standby but are not actually evacuating anyone in Lebanon yet.
