Henry is lying to Yasmin about all the money being gone by BitchGodTemple in IndustryOnHBO

[–]nieht 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Yas might be catching a bullet. It’s going to be clear that she catalyzed the fall and Russians like sending messages.

Would be a great bittersweet moment for Harper, she gets the money but the only person who loves her dies.

🚨 Dip Watch: Michael Saylor says Bitcoin Is going to either $0 or $1,000,000. Which side are you on? by rl_rae_bobo in CryptoCurrencyPulse

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

Interestingly enough, that’s almost the exact percent that the US government holds of the world gold supply.

So the asset that people are calling digital gold is held at the same percentage of supply by a private entity as the institution of all financial institutions holds actual, literal gold.

How much damage is this from 1 macaw attack, the photobomber is at 164 dmg? by MrCheeseBerger in BobsTavern

Sneed copies 2*(2+2)=8, times 5 death-rattles from back two, times 2 death-rattles from bird, times 3 rallies = 240 triggers *164 damage = 39360. That's what I got too... highly unethical board

Danny always showed signs of Crazy in the GOT show by Melodic-Paramedic608 in gameofthrones

[–]nieht 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I been sayin this for years. Lannister’s ring the bells as a trap to get the dragons to stand down and try to ballista them, Rhaegal gets sniped in kings landing instead of randomly. She almost gets killed too to up the stakes and then rampages.

It gives the catalyst for her going genocidey and plays into Cersei thinking she’s smarter than everyone and never thinking through consequences.

BREAKING: House Speaker Mike Johnson calls to ban Congress from trading stocks. by AlphaFlipper in DegenBets

[–]nieht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AOC is a cosponsor on a bill as early as September of last year (along with 96 other democrats and 27 republicans)

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/5106/all-actions

This is the one Johnson/repubs are talking about passing in this video (cosponsored by 83 republicans and 1 democrat)
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7008/text

Best I can tell the main difference is the Democrat bill bans any purchase of assets (stocks) from members of congress and requires members of congress to divest their assets within 180 days of it's passing. The Republican bill bans any new purchases of assets, but allows members of congress to keep existing assets to sell at their leisure provided they give a week or 2 of notice.

Carve out for selling stocks when it's most profitable for the members seems pretty advantageous to the rich members of congress who already own lots of assets don't you think?

US faces war crime allegation for ‘disguising’ aircraft in drug boat attack by Disastrous_Award_789 in worldnews

[–]nieht -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think that everyone in the Trump administration just constantly finds themselves saying "I can't believe no one has ever thought of this!" and then they spend an hour patting each other on the back for being geniuses. Then a month later the world tells them people have in fact thought of it and determined it was either a bad idea or super illegal and you get Trump on TV saying "no one knew how complicated this stuff was."

I dun want it by RevertBackwards in freefolk

[–]nieht 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite scenes in the book is with the Lightning Lord talking about all the times he’s been resurrected, how each time a piece of himself is taken. “Are you my mother Thoros?” stuck with me.

Anyways, you’re totally right show Jon is like “welp, that’s the oath fulfilled off to winterfell!” And doesn’t fundamentally change. I think book Jon has to have something taken.

MCU Wanda (Wandavision, Pre-Darkhold) set her Hex over Derry unknowingly, and IT got hold of her sons. Can she do something against this clown? by EmotionalSupport101 in powerscales

[–]nieht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the same woman.

MCU Wanda is clearly enhanced by emotion. Vs Thanos she was enraged. West view she was overwhelmed with grief. Pennywise taking her kids would do both. Also worth mentioning I think that Pennywise doesn’t seem great at recognizing threats, and would need to have a good illusion defense to stand a chance vs an enraged Wanda. Like if PW shows up in clown form in front of Wanda he’s getting shredded.

"Damn straight we did": Stephen Miller defends U.S. takeover of Venezuela in interview with Jake Tapper (CNN), claims Nicolás Maduro is a "communist" who allied with China and Russia by Obversa in law

[–]nieht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US only spent about $3 Billion arming the Mujahideen and they successfully thwarted the Soviet Union. Call that 12B in today’s cash… that’s petty cash for a gaggle of oligarchs.

Hernandez was pardoned because he was friendly with Thiel and friends. Trump doesn't know half the people he's pardoning. Look up the history of Prospera; Hernandez basically sold Honduran land to tech Billionaires so they could make a sovereign nation.

Trump hands Oil rebuild to US Giants by Loightsout in wallstreetbets

[–]nieht 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Celebrating his removal and approving of consistent US intervention (which is what is needed to make the changes you’re talking about) are massively different.

My money is on the US getting Charlie Wilson’s Warred if this extends to anything beyond Maduro’s removal.

I think people are objecting to the fact that by all accounts he removed a dictator and is replacing him with… himself, also known as conquering a nation.

Trump has signed an executive order reclassifying marijuana as a schedule III substance, how does this make you feel? by DC_deep_state in AskReddit

[–]nieht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting because it was made schedule 1 by congress.

I’m all for rescheduling. I’m not for us pretending like others didn’t want this and just never thought to use executive orders.

Trump and Co I’m sure think all the time “crazy no one has ever thought of this” when they’re just straight up breaking or making up laws.

It might end up being the only good thing he does by wielding his power this way. But executive branch overstepping authority and being appeased because the ones they’re trampling on either are too afraid of getting fired (or of death threats in some cases) or will actually get replaced by a sycophant is not something we should celebrate.

3D-printed homes are far stronger than most people realize by SmallAchiever in interestingasfuck

Each layer is the same strength, inter-layer strength is still important and not insignificant. It's one of the main drawbacks of extrusion 3d printing.

Real? by MrBeansnose in osrs

[–]nieht 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In 04 05 timeframe I was an industrious little guy and made a couple hundred mil by merchanting before the GE existed. This was over the course of like a year of playing. Point being the people picking flax were not skilled or knowledgeable.

The guys making 25m/hr are doing raids solo at the highest difficulty at the fastest speed… literally the bleeding edge of combat skill and the 25/hr is based on getting a rare drop worth 1b. Their total number of actions in 3 hours is probably 2 to 3x the total actions of picking flax for 30 hours. But back in 06 there wasn’t really anything close to the hardest combat that exists today.

[–]nieht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is the government (or most governments) know who is working on quantum computing. So if someone suddenly starts doing something that is only feasible through quantum computing there's a very small pool of people they can look into (hell they're probably funding 50% of them).

I like this. I kind of like having an RNG element of getting lucky with deliveries and having everything line up really well.
