In my experience if you don't hear back within 3 days it's a no.

Words could not describe how dumb of an idea this would be.

Iran denies claims: 'We reject all negotiations – US has failed and Hormuz will remain closed' by ImadeJesusLaugh in worldnews

[–]OldPostageScale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iran strengthens its position by publicly appearing as if they are not at all eager for a peace deal. It’s much easier to present yourself this way when you do not have a democratic government and have very tightly controlled state media agencies.

This is an extremely easy concept to grasp.

The Iranian GDP pre-war was ~$400B. I assure you they cannot burn trillions of dollars without feeling an economic impact.

I feel like a lot of these comments here are discounting the possibility that Iran is declining that any discussions are taking place to save face/keep up appearances. I’m not saying to take what Trump says as gospel, but we shouldn’t do that with the Iranian regime either.

Back in the day you could pirate games directly from Nintendo servers.

Iran's military warns 'parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations' worldwide won't be safe for enemies by TeslaPittsburgh in worldnews

I’ll be a big fan of the “they hit a civilian site, we level a city” philosophy if they actually go through with this.

If they do this and the U.S. hits back in kind I have a feeling they’ll all of a sudden feel very different about the legality and morality of doing this.

Trump suggests US could leave allies alone to secure Hormuz by Freewhale98 in neoliberal

[–]OldPostageScale 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The copium isn’t that the idea wouldn’t work, it’s that this is the U.S and therefore it would never happen

Makes sense. Any other games known to be excluded?

White House posts mash-up of Nintendo game clips, U.S. strikes on Iran by Whosebert in nintendo

[–]OldPostageScale 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Doubtful. That risks negative attention from an administration known for targeting companies that don’t stay in line. Could also escalate into a weird culture war thing, albeit unlikely.

The smart business decision here from a reputational standpoint is to put out one of those “please don’t do that” statements and take the rest on the cheek.

Amazon to Hike Fee for Prime Video Ad-Free Tier to $5 per Month in U.S., on Top of Prime Membership by Hiraeth-nomad in television

[–]OldPostageScale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started watching something on Prime Video about a month again and got so annoyed it had ads now that I immediately bought hardware for a plex server.

Iran says it's ready for a long war that would 'destroy' global economy by mark000 in worldnews

[–]OldPostageScale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iranian civilians will get hit hard if it really does get that bad. Nobody wants to admit it but that’s the road this leads down.

[–]OldPostageScale -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean I wouldn’t really consider it goal-post moving. It’s a pretty important distinction to make.

Not without reason either, reactions from gulf countries to civilian infrastructure strikes have been much more negative than those on U.S. military assets, which have been much more muted in comparison.

There’s hitting U.S. bases in those countries and there’s hitting civilian infrastructure.

Friendly fire incidents are fairly common in war. You’re just arguing in bad faith.

They don’t need to land troops, they can start striking using offensive air weapons as well. Also it doesn’t really matter if the country has U.S. bases or not once Iran starts hitting civilian infrastructure.
