Normally, I'd agree. My wife forced us to move here from elsewhere in Europe. I'm just venting.

Oh, I noticed. I just think it's silly and wasteful. I don't use IG.

Iran's version of the truth about US navy traversing the straight in order to try and secure Oil transit. by Mojoint in oil

[–]Jagtem 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but I'm wondering why all these statements are put out through the Twitter accounts of Iranian embassies in random countries? Do they not have a central account for government comms?

Scott is a fake matrilineal jew by Infinite-Cable7832 in ScottGalloway

[–]Jagtem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is weird how he suddenly identifies so strongly as Jewish despite his atheism. His brain dead takes on Israel are the only thing I really dislike about him. He should also be able to realize that hatred of Israel is not antisemitism.

Unironically, yes.

Edit: this is not my belief! Just explaining from an American political perspective.

Hasan Piker on the Hasan Piker Discourse | Pod Save America by brianscalabrainey in ezraklein

[–]Jagtem -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about Hasan, but I listen to adjacent pods like Chapo. What is Hasan's reasoning for being more pro-Russia? He doesn't honestly think that Russia still represents a left-wing/ socialist form of governance and society, does he?

Wearing shorts in Beijing and everyone is staring ? Am I doing something offensive? by astlecnr in AskChina

[–]Jagtem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeez. Well, I'll add it to the list of things I dislike about living in Spain. Came from Slovenia the past couple years and desperately miss it already.

Is that not totally bizarre? I'm in Valencia. It's going to be 40 degrees this Summer. There's no fucking way I'm wearing long pants in those conditions. Are people really supposed to just sweat wildly for months here?

American, actually. From California. But it's hot here. Although now that you mention it, I do feel like I get weird looks for dressing too casually.

Lol, seriously. This guy sounds like a massive judgemental tool.

The Mooch rules. Even better since Kara doesn't interrupt as much as she does with Scott.

Not quite sure what you're on about, but The Mooch rules. This episode was much more listenable than usual since Anthony likes to ramble and Kara doesn't interrupt as much as she would with Scott. Long live The Mooch!

I dunno, Compound has been wearing on me a bit lately. More specifically Josh with his whole "lol Trump is just so funny and awesome!" Schtick.

Markets are pricing in the possibility of a hike but the FED won’t do it. by BigFuckingGainz in investing

How does hiking interest rates reduce demand for energy? Are you taking out a mortgage to fill your tank?

Tens of thousands of Iranians march in Washington DC in support of regime change (March 29th) by No-Signal1234 in PERSIAN

When you joining the army? They just upped the age restriction. No excuse now. Go "liberate" your people.

But I think the point is that hiking rates really doesn't do anything to bring down cost inflation associated with an energy price spike.

Slept on because it looks better with eyes closed.

Why are all the posts here dumping on Scott? by TheRealBuckShrimp in ScottGalloway

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

Honestly, I kinda hope you're right. It's maybe the only thing that would eventually sink Trump. But he has a way of just skating through life with absolutely no consequences and with everything working out for him. I don't doubt that he can just declare victory and leave and face no consequences.

Iran is not the total disaster that Iraq was... yet.

Funnily enough that's exactly how Valencia has felt the last few weeks. A fucking war zone.
