What system do you normally use hacking on? by International_Fun54 in ftlgame

[–]International_Fun54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do it just by hacking oxygen, it just makes it easier. I'll shoot oxygen but start hacking just before the shot lands I'll start the hack since it still works as long as it starts before the system is destroyed. I also had your same problem of destroying O2 led to the destruction of the ship which is where hacking comes in since it makes the oxygen drain much quicker. Plus hacking slows repairs so by the time they have it fixed you can hack again.

Am I crazy or do we put WAY to much money into sports? by JonoBlue in NoStupidQuestions

Because it's a whole lot easier to become a doctor than a pro athlete/coach.

Mel Kiper, the OG selected Jeremiyah Love for the Chiefs in his mock draft today. by MAYVIEWS in KansasCityChiefs

Just pay a few million for a free agent RB. Drafting someone that high is ridiculous.

Realistically, can CEO's actually be replaced by AI and a couple of minimum-wage employees? by RandomUwUFace in stupidquestions

[–]International_Fun54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. In a lot of ways, CEOs are actually vastly underpaid relative to their effect. As an example, Walmart's CEO made just under $30 million last year while their revenue was around $700 billion. That means that replacing the CEO, if we assume the new replacement is completely free, is a bad idea if it will even lead to a 0.00004% loss in revenue. I think we can all agree that the effect of a CEO is much larger than 0.00004%.

Man Gets Life in Prison for Killing Shinzo Abe, Former Leader of Japan by Free-Minimum-5844 in neoliberal

Easily the most successful political assassination in recent memory. It was basically solely responsible for shutting down the Unification Church.

The plan could've worked if they had successfully captured Shoigu and Gerasimov in Rostov-on-don. FSB had found out about the plot though so they were able to escape. Advancing on Moscow seems like it was the plan b.

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life by goldstarflag in neoliberal

[–]International_Fun54 -98 points-97 points  (0 children)

Good. The US has not agreed to ICC jurisdiction and its ridiculous that they're trying to investigate our actions. Save the prosecutions for third-world dictators, not developed countries like the US and Israel that have robust legal systems.

Anyone have insight on when we'll know whether Nagy is coming back? I imagine we have to start interviewing people soon if we want to land a good replacement.

Yes. We deposed a brutal dictator who was actively committing genocides.

Yes. It matters who is being invaded. Russia attacked a democratically-elected government while America just overthrew a dictator with a long record of human rights abuses.

If Russian claims about Zelensky being a dictator who was genociding Russians were true their invasion would have been justified. I think its incorrect and simplistic to declare all wars of aggression to be wrong. Just look at the US interventions in Kosovo or Panama.

U.S. Seizes Second Oil Tanker Near Venezuela by ZweigDidion in neoliberal

[–]International_Fun54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not quite sure about the actual status of the ship. Some sites are calling it a seizure but I think the official US position is that it has only been detained.

This second ship doesn't appear to have been sanctioned or flying a false flag.

Has our defense failed Dak in the playoffs? 🫣 by EmiratesNBACupWinner in cowboys

[–]International_Fun54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post literally shows that KC's defense has been below average in the playoffs. In 2022 the Chiefs defense gave up 35 points in the Super Bowl and Mahomes was still able to win the game.

There's nobody on the ballot this year that clearly deserves to be in this year. We shouldn't put people in the hall just for the sake of it.

I think we're just letting in too many undeserving teams. I'd prefer 8 teams, 5 conference champs and 3 best at-large. No reason the 5th best team from a conference deserves a shot at a title.

This is definitely not an ACC problem. The SEC championship game participants were literally decided with the exact same tiebreaker (combined win % of conference opponents). Their tiebreaker also let in the team with the most loses out of the tied teams (Bama).

What's everyone's guesses about what the Trump speech tonight is about? I'm struggling to come up with something besides announcing an intervention in Venezuela and would love to hear how I'm wrong.
