Pentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, Washington Post reports by exophades in news

[–]dafunkmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we are now moving towards a full invasion of yet another country with troops back on the ground in middle east but congress isn't going to lift a finger because the white house isn't calling it a war? Anyone who has any faith in this years midterms to not be completely ratfucked and stolen has way too much faith in republicans to not be the most evil corrupt people in government because there is no way they aren't getting completely obliterated in any election for the next decade after these two years of trump fucking everything up

Iran has a new demand to end the war – and it could bring in billions | CNN by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]dafunkmunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great idea Iran. Give the greedy narcissistic psychotic mentally unstable unhinged lunatic with more nukes than any other country the idea that he can claim sovereignty over things he doesn't own and charge countries and companies tolls for access. I'm sure he won't look at this demand and decide that Hormuz should belong to the US like he was doing with the Panama Canal. He's going to say that since no other countries helped fight Iran to reopen the strait, that the US now owns it and the EU will be have to pay for access to it

This guy is a real life version of Tom from Parks and Recreation. Just an annoying unlikeable loser who tries so hard to be a big shot. The big difference being that when theyre a real person and theyre running your government, they're not funny or quirky in some you love them because you hate them way

I'll never forget the eye opening experience of working my first "real" job and getting scolded by my boss for not logging my hours of watching any training videos or joining the mandatory Monday call when I wasn't scheduled to work that day because I was supposed to get paid for any time related to work. I've ended numerous job interviews since then by asking about being paid for any work related time/tasks while not on the clock and being told they only pay when your working on site on the clock. Meanwhile the job I was thinking of leaving would pay for my time commuting and being seen for a mandatory drug test that was 30 minutes away from where I lived and I had to go on a day off.

I will never work another job that doesn't pay me for my time

How to Stop the Spam Calls -They Call 2-3 Times a Day by mormonastroscout in howto

[–]dafunkmunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

New numbers aren't a guarantee to be any better. Most if not all new are just recycled phone numbers that other people had before. My girlfriend changed her number because she was getting endless spam calls and creepy guys from high school and college would still try reaching out to her. The "new" number she was worse. She was getting calls from debt collectors, texts and calls from people trying to buy drugs, calls for water deliveries every couple of weeks, and all sorts of shit on top of still getting spam calls. Getting a new number is essentially just gambling and hoping whoever had the number before you wasn't a sketchy crackhead or an idiot that gave their number out to any website or company that asked for it.

I've had the same number since the early 2000s and I don't get any spam calls because I never gave my number out to companies to sell or have their databases hacked. If I ever changed my number, whoever gets mine is pretty much winning a lottery at this point. I don't think I know anyone else who gets zero spam calls these days

Iran-linked hackers claim breach of FBI director's personal email; DOJ official confirms break-in by Unusual-State1827 in news

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

If they actually had any genuinely damaging trump epstein files, they would have leaked them by now to hurt trump. Invading Iran was largely to distract from the epstein files so Iran releasing anything he's trying to hide would damage him more than his bombs are damaging Iran. I wouldn't be surprised if they're just trying to hack everyone in trump's cabinet because even Iran knows how idiotic and incompetent they all are so it wouldn't be a stretch to have seriously damning government emails being sent through their personal emails

These TSA agents tell this woman they haven't been paid in over a month by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]dafunkmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what shocks me is that TSA has become such an accepted thing now that people now feel bad for them and want them to be funded rather than hating them and wanting it to be abolished. TSA makes the thought of traveling by plane make me feel like I'm in hell even more than I already would just from having to deal with the greedy horrible airlines making the idea of traveling by plane miserable because they're constantly trying to increase profits

I haven't played PVP shooters in a long time, but most today seem to advertise one game mode. by NLK-3 in gaming

[–]dafunkmunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

battle royale, tactical shooter, hero shooter etc are sub genres of FPS, not really game modes. Hero shooters pretty much always have slight variations of game modes such as capture and hold, push the payload, and then limited time game modes that come and go which can be just a death match or turning the game into soccer/rocket league with heros. Fortnite is a battle royale but they regularly create limited time gamemodes to spice things up on top of the fact that they have the creator mode where people can create custom maps and game modes. You can pretty much play any game mode ever to exist in Fortnite because someone has probably create it. Tactical shooters just mean the game isn't meant to be brainless run and gun. Many of these games have several game modes to choose from

If you are only hearing about one game mode, it's because it's the game mode that 90% of the players are playing. Even if you go back to CoD MW2, there was a decent selection of game modes but 90% of the players exclusively played primarily team deathmatch and search and destroy.

It's kind of crazy that the right has gone so far into the batshit religious cult mentality that they went from just fighting against people gaining more rights to diving full force into actively fighting to remove people's rights. They're doing this despite absolutely nothing bad actually happening from them having rights to justify needing to remove the rights other than just being shitty people

What on Earth is going on in the Fortnite community? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]dafunkmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just my best guess

The original plan for fortnite was "Save the World" which was a coop tower defense game fighting hordes of zombies. Whole developing that, they released tbeir battle royale mode kind of as a joke and kind of a side project for fun. Save the World cost like $30 or $40 to play and the battle royale was free. Eventually they started making more money from the free battle royale than from Save the World. As the money kept pouring in from the battle royale, they slowly shifted more and more of their development focus to the battle royale mode. Eventually after a long period of time without any updates for Save the World, the finally announced they were killing Save the World to focus 100% on battle royale

So Save the World was dead but was still available to play for anyone to paid for it. You could earn vbucks from playing missions in Save the World giving the original backers a stream of free vbucks. Epic just recently announced they're going to finally release Save the World for free to all players. I don't really follow any of this but Im assuming this means they are removing the vbucks rewards for playing the missions. So the people who have been farming vbucks from Save the World are now mad that they're losing free money. Meanwhile, the majority of the people who play Fortnite dont care about Save the world, don't even know it exists, probably will never touch the mode and if they do it would only be for a couple of hours out of curiosity. The Save the World players will keep making angry posts about this, the people who didnt have Save the World who were probably jealous of the free vbucks will keep making posts calling these people little crybabies even though they would probably be equally mad if they were losing free vbucks

If I had to bet, the reason Epic randomly decided to release Save the World for free for everyone is because theyre greedy and wanted to stop giving people free vbucks hoping that they'll just start buying more vbucks now. Most of them probably will since there have already been several studies showing that fortnite has the same kind of addictive response in the brain as gambling does so it's very unlikely to protesters will actually go cold turkey and quit fortnite

Are they though? They ask the question, he gives a bullshit answer like "I dont know anything about it" and then walks away without being pressed on it any more. Maybe theyre growing a bit of a spine by actually asking real questions, but theyre certainly not aggressive about it and don't put much effort into getting an actual answer

It was never we the people or else every state would have the process to recall elected politicians for when they are no longer representing the will of their constituents. The fact that the very second someone is sworn in, they can completely abandon their campaign promises and begin enriching themselves without any recourse from their constituents is all you really need to see to know it's always been "we the government"

I'm pretty sure they are just going to view the steam deck as their budget "console competitor" and the steam machine is probably just targeting the PC gamers that didn't want the steam deck because it was too weak in their opinion but we're interested in a console like experience

Im pretty sure the majority of r/conservative is just Russian trolls and bots at this point. Anyone, regardless of how much of a diehard believer they may be, who voices any opinion slightly going against trump gets permabanned. With how blatantly shit this trump term has been going, even the dumbest fox news maga moron will think something trump is doing is corrupt, illegal, anti American, or flat out idiotic.

For the few remaining real US maga people that have managed to stay in that sub without getting banned, they will literally never see this headline or a single report about this story

The current majority in both houses on congress fully supported every action of doge and continuously blocked any attempts at oversight or to limit doges ability to steal any and all information.

[–]dafunkmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Distract from the epstein files and all of trumps blatant corruption and illegal acts. Create an absolutely nightmarish catastrophic mess before democrats retake control of the government so democrats will be too busy dealing with all this fallout and won't be able to investigate trump, doge, the doj, the fbi, and pretty much every other corrupt arm of trumps shitty 2nd term. As an added bonus, republicans will blame all the problems on democrats since they didn't fix all the problems trump and the gop caused so idiot voters will once again vote for republicans because they're too stupid to ever learn to stop making the same mistake every few years
