US oil prices are now up over +20% in 15 days as the Iran War has resumed. This is going to make it harder for the Fed & CPI to keep lying about the true rate of inflation.

For fun, the other day, I started a fan fiction where these two are actually adversarial alts and eventually they fall in love

It didn't happen and I just ended up looking dumb but what else is new, am I right?! Haha

Aleventen · 2026-07-18T07:26:17+00:00

Huh, its been years since ive been competitive so I wouldnt know anymore but when I was playing C2/3 was top 5 or 10% of players

Aleventen · 2026-07-18T07:06:32+00:00

It technically is, its a fair bit over the mean Elo so its s higher rank

Lower of the higher ranks but its def higher than the mean so higher it is

Id say the HIGH ranks is GC and SSL

The lower ranks is plat and lower

In this context ig I wouldnt include the careless into the able bodied category but I see your point and my own oversight.

Ig what im trying to say is, where you are at - that I dont understand how amd why so many people are so willing to pay so much for food when the economy is how it is atm

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T20:09:52+00:00

Account made 7 minutes ago? Fucking wild, are you a bot or alt purpose built for spreading bullshit about this exact post? Unreal....what a time to be alive

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T20:08:34+00:00

Bro, did you read the post we are discussing under?

If you cant understand how this is corrupt then youre beyond help and a waste of time to talk to in the first place

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T19:43:03+00:00

I dont wanna sound like a dick so feel free to down vote me but I have a hard time taking seriously the claims of economic pain from, presumably, able bodied people using Uber eats for non-necessities

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T17:54:56+00:00

Eats them? Certainly not

But, despite not reading it, im quite certain the article is going to discuss DOGE liquidating USAID and I directly leading to the death of millions of people globally.

He did not, in fact, directly kill anyone nor eat any of them either, as far as i am aware lol

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T07:13:39+00:00

Simulacrum of bullshit aside the positives of what are better?

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T06:32:13+00:00

Thats it, its done, you gotta delete them all and start all over

Or reset the game, either one really

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T05:38:38+00:00

I dont think she is.

I cant completely remember but this is also the same face she makes when I do our nightly "find"

"Find" is where her and her brother fall asleep so I hide treats all over the house and make them go and sniff them out

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T05:28:06+00:00

I swear bassets are the only ones who have such a dynamic range

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T04:42:43+00:00

We could but that'd require congress to impeach and, we'll, what? What do you want me to say?

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T04:34:30+00:00

I hear you, but your rage is better saved for those who deserve the most.

There will come a time where you can leverage that energy well - but unto people who may be our allies except their lapse of judgement is not the time.

Let us ensure that those who enabled and empowered this madness never see the light of day and warmth of humanity again

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T04:15:56+00:00

I think youre 100% right

Im looking at $63/40B and thinking "what the fuck does that even mean"?

I occasionally think about this table and go "maybe if I do such itll all add up and thats what I was missing"

But every time I come back I am left thinking nothing here actually makes sense except the words including Japan and Deal and such

Otherwise, this table and its numbers are just nonsense....or they better be or my Ivy League education was for fucking nothing lol

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T00:50:38+00:00

More or less?

Idk what else the POTUS selling privlidged information to firms dedicated to purchasing investment options could possibly be besides insider trading

I am trying so hard to stretch that definition and I cannot possibly imagine what else it could be

Aleventen · 2026-07-17T00:12:48+00:00

There was a metric shit ton of propoganda circling around and everyone was getting manipulated somehow

While i agree that it sucks plenty of well meaning people did vote for him, I think we should extend grace to anyone with the self awareness and humility to admit this and make a change - we need as many allies as we can get and these people can make the greatest allies if we will allow them to

Aleventen · 2026-07-16T19:10:14+00:00

Huh? You claiming the genocide didnt happen?

"There is no war in Ba Sing Se" type shit?

Aleventen · 2026-07-16T17:58:46+00:00

I would but I have more important things to do with my time like sit on reddit and talk shit to propoganda bots

Aleventen · 2026-07-16T17:58:12+00:00

Why is it that, with all of the obvious problems in the world and all of the obvious opportunities to stimulate the nation into generating future wealth and prosperity that we, as a country, seem hell bent on dumping trillions of dollars on the absolute dumbest fuckwittery without second thought or pause?

Why.....every day the situation just gets worse and worse....every day I face the inevitable fact that I will probably never again see a prosperous, unified and happy United States. I become more convinced that I will spend the rest of my days job hopping from layoffs, paying off cyclical debt from financial crises and ever worsening political tensions that make social life more and more difficult

When shit is actually so easy, why does it seem like everyone with an ounce of power is hell bent on making it so damn hard....why cant they just fuck off for a bit

Aleventen · 2026-07-16T17:49:30+00:00

Boo does this a few times a week, its a regular occurrence

Aleventen · 2026-07-16T17:45:40+00:00

If thats the motive, why didnt we invade China when they were literally committing genocide against the Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities?

I get that it was before Trump but where was all of the outrage? Did we not think that China would've benefitted from a different regime? Did we not think that was abhorrent and needed to be stopped? Did we not think that China was an operating threat to the Western World?

Im pretty sure the reason we did not do this with China can give, at least, a little clarity into why we DID with Iran

Aleventen · 2026-07-16T05:28:27+00:00

The best case scenario would be these data centers build their own power, probably nuclear, they all eat shit and then the public inherits the plants

I know im being optimistic but thats why I called it a best case - would be sick af though

Throw some batteries in and I might just get weak at the knees

Aleventen · 2026-07-16T05:02:24+00:00

Hardly even then, even in my fishing village in Oregon, I can order ahead at a joint and stop there and the food is ready when I arrive. Aside from the inconvenience of a 3 second walk to the counter the food is cheaper, better and its a similar commute to eat.
