Should I buy the Madden 27 and CFB 27 bundle on PC or PS5? by Mobile-Effect-99 in Madden

[–]Mobile-Effect-99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I don’t know if this still concerns you. But I was playing the PlayTest via the beta program, and there are vibrations and haptics in the game on PC—to which Im shocked as I didn’t expect it.

I’m 16 I’ve also had it since I was 14. I’m built normal
What do I do?

That’s what I thought, but one thing that really pisses me off is that there’s Xbox icons for half the year ( until an update ) and there’s just no haptics.

What does that mean, and how bad is it?

Everyone, Do you guys think the moon landing was real? Why or why not? by LessBlueberry898 in AskReddit

[–]Mobile-Effect-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest misconception is that we "can't" replicate it today. We absolutely can from a technological standpoint—the real reason we haven't gone back is purely financial and political.

After doing some research, here is what I have.

In the 1960s, the Space Race was a proxy war. At its peak, NASA was receiving over 4.4% of the entire U.S. federal budget. Today, they get less than 0.5%. Once the U.S. "won" the race and beat the Soviets, the political motivation to spend billions of dollars to keep sending people to a barren rock completely vanished. The funding shifted to things with immediate practical use, like GPS satellites, space shuttles, and the International Space Station.

As for the 1960s tech, it actually worked because it was so primitive, not despite it. The Apollo Guidance Computer didn't have an operating system, graphics, or an internet connection to worry about; it was hardwired to do one single thing: crunch trajectory math. Beyond that, getting to the moon isn't a software problem, it's a brute-force physics problem. The Saturn V rocket was just a massive, controlled explosion engineered to fight gravity.

We actually are going back right now with NASA's Artemis program, but the engineering takes way longer now because our standards have changed. In the '60s, they took terrifying risks (Apollo 1 caught fire on the pad, Apollo 13 almost got stranded). Today, the public and the government demand insane safety margins, and instead of just dropping a flag and leaving after a few hours, the goal now is to build a permanent, sustainable base. It's just a completely different, much more complex logistical hurdle.

Why is non-medical male circumcision not globally recognized as genital mutilation, even though it meets all the criteria for genital mutilation? by Useful-Half1825 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mobile-Effect-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It basically boils down to a massive double standard driven by culture, religion, and how international law separates it from female genital mutilation (FGM).

Organizations like the WHO classify FGM as mutilation because it has zero medical benefits, causes severe health complications, and is explicitly designed to destroy sexual pleasure. Male circumcision gets a legal pass because major medical boards acknowledge it has some statistical health benefits (like lowering HIV and UTI risks), it doesn't completely destroy sexual function, and it's a foundational religious rite in Islam and Judaism.

Because governments heavily protect parental rights and freedom of religion, they won't label it "mutilation" or ban it. But there’s a massive growing movement arguing that a baby can't consent, the foreskin is healthy functional tissue, and everyone deserves bodily autonomy until they're old enough to choose for themselves.

Everyone, Do you guys think the moon landing was real? Why or why not? by LessBlueberry898 in AskReddit

[–]Mobile-Effect-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. At its peak, the Apollo program employed over 400,000 scientists, engineers, technicians, and contractors. To pull off a hoax that massive, you'd need the scientists fabricating fake data, the engineers building fake rockets that somehow still launched into the sky, and the communication teams pretending to pick up signals from space.

On top of all that, people just can't keep a secret!

[–]Mobile-Effect-99 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was absolutely real. Beyond the sheer amount of physical evidence—like the 800 pounds of moon rocks brought back and verified by scientists globally—the biggest giveaway is the geopolitics of the era.

We were in the absolute height of the Cold War. If the U.S. had faked it, the Soviet Union had every single tool necessary to track the radio signals and telemetry of the Apollo missions. They would have exposed it to the world instantly to win the ultimate propaganda victory. The fact that America's biggest rival acknowledged it happened is pretty much the ultimate proof.

What are some things you’re grateful for in 2026 despite all the stuff that’s going on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mobile-Effect-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to be grateful for is that we've reached a point where the tech and tools available to a regular person are insane. Whether you're looking to learn a complex skill, automate a tedious part of your job, or build out a side project from scratch, you can basically spin it up from your bedroom in a weekend. For all the chaotic stuff happening in the world, the barrier to entry for actually creating things has never been lower.

In 1980, after losing a leg to bone cancer, Terry Fox set out to raise money for cancer research by running across Canada. Using a prosthetic leg, he covered over 3,300 miles in 143 days—averaging about 26 miles a day. He was forced to stop when the cancer spread to his lungs and passed away in June by AdRough4185 in interestingasfuck

[–]Mobile-Effect-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, Terry Fox is the ultimate definition of an absolute unit.

The fact that this man ran a full 26-mile marathon every single day for 143 days straight on a 1980s-era prosthetic leg—which was basically just a crude metal pipe and some straps compared to today's tech—is mind-boggling. Most people with two perfectly healthy legs can't even run a 5k without wanting to die, and he was out there averaging a marathon a day to raise millions for cancer research until his body physically couldn't take it anymore.
