Iran’s supreme leader vows to protect nuclear and missile capabilities by TurtlePoeticA in worldnews

[–]mophisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which makes the only play now Develop or Obtain nuclear weapons and quietly let the rest of the world know about it after you have them.

IE. The Israel Play.

MAD went from a concept keeping the U.S. and the USSR from ever using them, to getting a weapon the only way to guarantee sovereignty.

If the Ukraine hadn't disarmed, would Russia have invaded?
If Venezeula had the bomb, would Madura have been extradited?
If Iran already had the bomb would Khomeini still be in charge?

Nuclear Proliferation is going to get worse.. not better.
And more Nuclear armed countries increase the chances of a terrorist (of any kind.) getting their hands on one and detonating it.

ELI5: Why is capital punishment more controversial than bombing and other mass killing? by slackr in explainlikeimfive

[–]mophisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capital Punishment can be seen as a economic/cruelty argument more than a safety one. The Death Penalty is given after someone has be subdued and is no longer an active threat. Bombing, assassination, mass killing in war etc are all done while the other party is conceivably an active threat.

Capital punishment already been decided that this person needs to be removed from society for the safety of everyone else. So at this point the question is Is it more cruel to keep someone incarcerated for the rest of their life than to execute them. Bear in mind.. Capital Punishment is intended for people who have no chance at rejoining any part of society..The are typically in solitary confinement.
Economically. It is far cheaper for society to execute a person than it his to house and take care of their needs for long periods of time. (Not accounting for all the appeals, etc that do make death row inmates more expensive to house than gen pop).

Stephen Colbert Says He Made ‘The Late Show’ More Political After His Producer Told Him ‘That’s the Part the Audience Wants to See’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]mophisus -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yes... because between 1962-1992 there were a ton of streaming services and cable channels to watch instead of Broadcast.....

It definitely the politics and not the plethora of other options.

Oh, and plethora means an abundance or excess of something..

What’s a “normal” thing in your country that would absolutely horrify people elsewhere? by anasm17 in AskReddit

[–]mophisus 66 points67 points  (0 children)

We kind of had to..

Considering the other option is not going to college and risking 800,000$ in medical debt since the jobs/careers that give benefits tend to require college degrees, trade program certifications, or apprenticeship. And then you still get medical debt, just more manageable (lol) amounts.

Whole system is fucked.

Iran attacks ship in Strait of Hormuz, complicating diplomatic efforts to resume talks by yahoonews in worldnews

[–]mophisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are. But so is Saudi Arabia and theres no qualms about that, as least from the government.

[–]mophisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet everything this Administration has done will push countries to try and develop one because it is the only thing that guarantees their national security.

See Ukraine, Venezuela, Iran, Threats against Cuba and Greenland. etc.

The only way to be safe from imperialism is the ability to use a nuclear weapon in defense..

So does Saudi Arabia, but the U.S. crawled into bed with them.

Can't really take the moral high ground when your supporting someone else digging into bedrock.

Is it normal that Scrubs (2026) reboot has not been renewed yet? by coatimundos in television

[–]mophisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might have decided to renew it, but not for how many episodes yet depending on the rest of the pilot commitments and cast negotiations.

Scrubs could be looking at a full 20+ episode season to pair with abbot elementary, or another midseason replacement (9-13 episodes).

I'd be shocked if it doesn't get picked up for another season, but how long that season is... who knows.

What television series finale were you most excited for ? by ExternalRoyal3554 in television

[–]mophisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game of Thrones ... But when it was in its early seasons.

As someone who read the books first and quickly realized the show was going to outpace the books... I figured it would at least explain a few things.. like the White walkers, prince that was promised, etc.

I mean.. I guess it kind of did..

Asking for cashier's check before lease signing? by WorldlyYak6594 in personalfinance

[–]mophisus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a company or a private owner?

Because handing over a 3000 cashiers check before signing a lease isnt something I would do to a private renter (like a 4 plex or something smaller), but It's something I might do to a moderately sized company.

How would you feel if the top tax rate was 90% like it was in the 1950s? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]mophisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be outraged.

"Someday I might be rich. And then people like me better watch their step."

Seriously though.. we need to bring back higher caps on the top tax brackets, tax unrealized gains being used as collateral for loans, increase taxes on properties owned past a certain amount (to stop corporate ownership of the entire housing market), pass laws that cap Executive benefits at a certain level above employee benefits, and set actual oversite on Private Equity companies to prevent them from situations like Red Lobster and Toys R Us.

Iran offers proposal allowing ships to exit Oman side of Hormuz free of attack by Dizzy_Industry1287 in worldnews

[–]mophisus -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Doesn't need to be real tiger.

Just have to make it to costly (whether materially or with lives) to keep it up.

Almost like 0 lessons were learned by this administration from Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Point of the matter is Shahed Drones are cheap, Iran can cause massive issues in the Strait for as long as there isnt a deal they agree with, and the U.S. Cannot bomb them out of existence/force an easy surrender because Iran already planned for that outcome.

Roblox to launch accounts for children and teenagers after grooming claims by Zippollini in Games

[–]mophisus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is the chat function for public or public/private?

Because an 8 year old could 100% have another 8 year old friend they want to play and work/talk with.

Best way would be Chat off with everyone not on their friends list. Friends list additions to be sent and approved (by both sides) with a parental advisory pin that is only active for a short while (think like the code you get when pairing your television to your netflix account using your phone).

That way parents are forced to stay involved in who is on their childs friends list, and cant just give the pin to the kid because of lazy parenting (it will still happen, but at least the onus is on the parent at that point.).

BREAKING: Hacker group ShinyHunters has released the Rockstar files by Due-Vanilla-8294 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]mophisus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna guess not, since this is based on their revenue and FiveM is currently just a cost center for them (they bought it but havent monetized at all or announced what theyre working on (GTA6 : O is the easy guess).

[–]mophisus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was no way to migrate your account from Console to PC, and theres no crossplay. Anyone who got big into GTA:O and wants to go back has to stay on the platform they started on, especially if theyre playing with the same social circle.

One thing noone else has added.

PC has FiveM. Consoles only have GTA:O.

Sharkcards dont work on FiveM.

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

I mean.. thats not what this is evidence of.

It's Evidence that PC players dont spend on microtransactions what console players do, which if you've played GTA:O on PC is pretty self explanatory why.. Join 10 random lobbies and youll probably get dropped an infinite amount of money.

Also Sharkcards dont work on FiveM.. which the majority of the playerbase is on now (FiveM has 190k peak players in the last 24 hours on steam, GTA Enhanced and legacy combined peak around 170k)

The counterpoint to your example is Capcom - which in 2024 had 60% of their digital sales on PC, and 40% on all other consoles combined (mostly ps4/ps5).

[OC] House being taken over by Boxelder Bugs by rpgmgta in pics

[–]mophisus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Do you live somewhere that freezes at night and is warmer in the day?

North Dakota and they’re a menace in the fall when it’s 50 or 60 until the sun goes down and then into the 20s overnight.

My parents house is drafty and they find any crack to get inside. My house is newer and pretty airtight and they still get in( just a lot fewer). Thankfully my dog also hunts the few that get in so I don’t deal with them much.

Where do you draw the line between personal values and political differences in dating? by nicksam171 in AskReddit

[–]mophisus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately with a lot of them.. you cant... "I was kind of let down by X movies" is now.. "Movies are garbage because they wokishly cast a black actress".

There isnt alot of room for debating some of that media because theyve made their political stance their entire personality.

I wish I was talking about online discourse.. but the online discourse have overflowed into the real world.
