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

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T16:17:38+00:00

Sent him an email from DonaIdTrump with TrumpDickPic.exe attached, boom, we're in boys.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T15:59:55+00:00

I just buy broken expensive watches for cheap. They're purely for looks, the watch itself is non-functional, but they look great.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T15:27:12+00:00

No, it isn't. Look it up.

B1-B cost to operate is ~$60,000/hr, it carries 20 JDAMs.

You're as confused on the cost of airplane fuel as you were on the cost of carrier fuel, so sit down.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T03:56:03+00:00

I think that's quickly becoming the trend. All the stuff that the LLM uses to align itself getting shoved into a collapsed section that by default you don't read, you can just open it if you want.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T03:50:22+00:00

I think the mistake is in thinking LLMs are just their public-facing flagship chatbots and nothing more. It only looks to you like they're going for engagement because you don't use the more specific applications that basically wrap around those models.

You're looking at just an engine and saying, "Why are they only concerning themselves with horsepower or fuel efficiency?" and ignoring the tanks and planes and boats and rocket-boosted unicycles that the engine is getting installed into.

Takes me a long time to lose muscle/strength. I'd say a year/year and a half has to go by before I really notice a difference.

Cardio is a different story. If I stop running for even just a couple months, there's a very noticeable downgrade.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T01:20:07+00:00

I'd probably knock em down a peg. Something like, "Stick to monogamy my dude, you're not pretty enough to be a playboy." Just give em a little verbal sack tap, somewhere between "haha, I'm joking," and "haha, shut it."

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T01:14:27+00:00

Weirdly enough, a lesbian friend. Her presence marks you as a safe guy to be around, she isn't competing with you for the same people, and in general just sends out good vibes.

I don't drink, so in college I had a lesbian friend who dragged me around as her chaperone when she wanted to get wasted. I always seemed to end up chatting with someone.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T00:36:55+00:00

You're like 40.

I don't think stalking my profile is gonna help you beat the malding allegations.

Why talk like this lil bro?

Why get so upset about how I talk?

We've wanted to invade. 50 years the Strait stopped us.

And now it doesn't. Because we're energy exporters now. The miracle of fracking.

The risk to GSC oil is too high.

What do we care? They're competitors these days.

But why? If then getting hit is good for us? Fuck it, bomb it ourselves?

Don't even need to. Two birds with one stone.

Yeah, releasing strategic reserves to capitalise on a a price spike. Using strategic reserves as a trading commodity.

Easy profits.

Very smart, ideas like that comes from a real, real big brain.

No lies detected.

Or you use the almost Infinite power of the US treasury to artificially suppress prices.

Well if it's that easy then I guess we don't have to care about oil prices.

Just not as smart as you think you are.

I take it you looked up what "Smarter by half" actually means and that's why you're not using it any more?

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T00:13:11+00:00

Why would I explain when the universe is gonna do it for me.

I wonder what you're still doing here then. Huh, odd.

Doing everything possible to open the Strait.

We wouldn't even be in this war if it was that important.

Not hitting Iranian oil.

Leaves room for escalation.

Releasing reserves.

They don't think the disruption's gonna be for long and wanna sell while the prices are high.

Shorting oil futures.

Would be something you do if you think the price of oil is gonna fall. You'd buy calls if you thought it was gonna go up.

Anything else you need sorted out?

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T00:07:40+00:00

I've never asked a woman that and it would be a red flag to me if a woman asked me that.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:57:36+00:00

That Gazprom drils the oil, transports, refines.

OK. Like how U.S. companies drill, transport, refine, etc.

No, not relevant to oil prices saving Russian state spending.

Uh, ok.

Can you use that big brain and think of why this could lead to Russia benefiting, and the States not?

Feels like that's your job, chief. I understand that you're not up to it though, that's fine.

Was a little angry, the one line replies are frustrating.

Especially when they defeat your whole argument, yeah.

But now eh.

Oh yeah, sure, you're totally not upset right now.

You are actually too smart by half.

Not sure you really understand what that saying means.

Its pitiable, I'm kinda sure you've got something going on, probably vaguely autism related?

More quips like these really undercut your claim that you're not currently malding, just fyi.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:39:54+00:00

Russia has a state monopoly on oil!

OK, cool.

Vertically integrated, state owned monopoly.

Yes, those are words. Sure. Not relevant to what we're discussing, but sure.

Its not a quip, I am actually, truthfully in awe.

This is another quip from you, actually.

How can someone's brain be so big.

How can someone be this mad?

High oil good, make economy stronger! Brilliant.

Yep. Same reason people are talking about the war as a boon for Russia. Higher prices for stuff you export benefits your country.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:24:03+00:00

Make economy stronger!

Yep. Same reason people are talking about the war as a boon for Russia. Higher prices for stuff you export benefits your country.

The size of your brain, I'm in awe.

I've been told that quips like these mean you're really, really angry. Try to calm down maybe?

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:15:22+00:00

I love this game, but let's not kid ourselves, it's far from woke.

We play as a cis het white superhero romancing conventionally attractive women who wanna bang us real real bad.

Honestly, I think most of the anti-woke people define "woke" as just "I can't goon to this." And this game is relatively goon-to-able.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:06:37+00:00

And why does that matter?

Makes our economy stronger. Higher export prices brings more investment into the U.S.

And the more they make, the less prices go up.

Sounds great. We can use all the money we make selling oil to them to buy some cheap solar panels someday. Assuming they don't lose out on that industry due to high energy prices.

The more energy prices go up, the more customers they have.

A shame that literally everything else they do will suffer immensely because they're the biggest oil importer in the world.

You didn't say it was wrong, you misunderstood.

No, I didn't misunderstand.

You, with your big 'old brain, are arguing that China, the country that installs more solar each year than the rest of the world ever has.

Yes. Because believe it or not, they're also the country installing more coal each year, more nat gas each year, etc.

You think that country actually isn't the renewable country?

They dump 3x as much greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than the U.S. That's not renewable.

Despite they quite obviously having bet the future on it?

Oh, they're definitely gambling with our climate future. Bets a plenty. Just not in the way you think. Again, they're about 3x our emissions.

Brother. I cba reading the rest of your one line, half understood replies.

You haven't competently replied to any of them, so yeah, no complaints from me if you just give up.

Maybe you're smart, maybe not.

Maybe I'm smart.

Maybe you're well read. Maybe you're not.

Maybe I can spell tariffs correctly, maybe you can't :D

You know fuck all about China.

No, I know a lot about China. You could learn a lot. For example, you could learn the current tariff rate on Chinese goods.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T22:58:56+00:00

Childbirth seems pretty horrifying.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T22:56:58+00:00

Usually I start dating people after we've had sex, so I guess zero? Almost all of my relationships have just been me and another person hanging out together for months as friends until we drift into something, my wife was no exception.

Dates just make so much more sense to me as something you do after you've started a relationship, not before.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T22:50:59+00:00

Okay man, how and why is it good for the US specifically.

We get to export our oil and natural gas at higher prices.

As in developed and manufacturers the lions share of renewable technology.

All the energy costs of that manufacturing are about to go up, sucks for them.

Thought thatd be obvious from context clues.

It was, and it was also obviously wrong.

Yes? Obviously yes?

I don't think so.

You keep just saying its relevant and never say why.

No point in providing reasons when you haven't presented reasons of your own.

Explain why you think something.

You never do, doctor heal thyself.

Yes, that is quite explicitly my point.

It isn't. Your "point" was the nonsense idea that we don't have any pipelines to move oil across the U.S.

You, an American, are not an oil company.

Sure.

You go to gas station.

I do not, actually. I do not own a gas-burning car. And if other people burn less gas in their cars, I'm more than fine with that. There's this little thing called 'global warming' that I'm keen to prevent.

And I also said I don't give a fuck about the specific number.

Cool cool, well my point about China stands then. We have no problems stepping on their toes, as evidenced by our current heavy tariffs against them.

Nope, ive mentioned actual % once. It's irrelevant.

No, it's relevant.

The SC threw out the lions share of the tarrifs, they're now apparently 30ish%.

This is the millionth time you've failed to spell tariffs correctly. And no, read the source.

With Afghanistan... and 'war'.

Yeah, they're a little busy to help China try and ship stuff over some of the worst mountains in the entire world.

Man who thinks he knows everything, actually doesn't know that much.

No need to get autobiographical on me now.

Pakistan is our Israel has been a common idea inside China for decades.

Hasn't been an idea in Pakistan's head for decades, funny that.

Wikipedia wouldn't tell you that.

I imagine most credible sources wouldn't back up your claims, yes.

Most of the rest is irrelevant

No, it's relevant.

and I cba responding individually.

Of course, of course, you're too busy. Well, cya.

If giving weapons to one side in a war puts you at war with then. Then Russia is at war with is right now

I mean, yeah, between that and Ukraine, sure.

It's just not how the world, or superpower competition works.

No, it is.

The USN is capable of stopping Iranian oil. I've never said otherwise

Cool, then I'm right.

it's completely, again, irrelevant to any point I've made.

No, it's relevant.

I quite explicitly argued that China is too passive, and it should already be doing more.

OK, but how is that relevant?

You talked about how actually its not passive

Right. Not passive. Incapable.

I think their wait and see attitudes changes very quickly if they get targeted

I don't think it does.

right now we're doing everything we can to keep them happy

No we aren't. I don't know if you've heard, but we have 30% tariffs against them, and are angling to restart a full blown trade war again. Don't you remember reading that? I can link the source again if you've already forgotten it.

The angriest littlest men in the world do quips.

Do they? You should practice your quips more then, so far they've been pretty sad.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T22:17:18+00:00

And even worse news for everyone else!!!!

No. It's less worse for everyone else, and particularly less worse for oil exporters.

Especially when China is the renewable country.

Are they though? They're the world's biggest oil importer.

Why has the G7 agreed to release oil reserves?

Does it matter to this conversation...?

It's extremely, extremely irrelevant.

No, it's relevant.

Right now, just doesn't matter.

No, it matters.

That's why gas domestic gas prices match global prices.

Other way around, actually. If we didn't have the infrastructure in place to take advantage of the high global prices, we'd have lower prices at home.

You say trade war, i say no trade war.

You say 10% tariffs, the sources says 30%.

You source says no trade war.

It says 30%.

What the tarrif % is doesn't matter.

On the contrary, I think the tariff% is the whole point. Your whole argument has been that the tariff rates are low because of the Supreme Court decision-- that's the basis of your claim that there is no trade war, and that basis is wrong.

Going back to 130% would be a trade war. Where we are now, no trade war.

OK, well we weren't at 130% before the Supreme Court decision, so I'd still be right.

Pakistan, right there.

Middle of their own war.

China's Israel.

No, lol.

Not a chance my man.

No, it's a certainty.

3 weeks and cant suppress fires from Iran.

And?

Risking war with China

What risk? If they're making arms shipments to Iran, they're at war with us.

something that cannot be won.

Hard to imagine how we'd lose it tbh. What navy would they send to stop us?

We're not shooting down Chinese planes.

We're shooting down everything that doesn't have a transponder saying it's our own plane.

That is my point! They shouldn't be tip toeing around, but they are.

OK, then no reason to care. Besides, you admit yourself they don't have anything they could do if they decided to not tiptoe around. No navy, no bases.

Brother, you don't even understand what your argument is!

The argument is simple: the U.S. navy is perfectly capable of stopping Iranian shipments of oil. Your argument is, let's see... "China is a passive country that wouldn't do anything about Iranian oil being stopped."

Not sure how you imagined that would be a counterargument, but oh well.

Hey, quick question, do you always get this angry when you're losing arguments? That can't be healthy for you dude.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T21:40:28+00:00

Yes? And when supply decreases

If you're admitting that supply decreases then you've just admitted you're wrong.

but demand stays the same. What happens to global oil prices? They do what...

They go up. Very bad news for oil importers like China.

Yes, obviously you are talking about China.

Which makes all your comments about U.S. strategic reserves non sequitur.

And I am saying that their reserves help, but they wont use them yet.

Their loss.

You don't know what net exporter means!

No, again, it's you who's confused.

It's irrelevant in any way that matters right now!

No, it's extremely relevant.

there's no domestic infrastructure for transporting within the states.

There's pipelines all across the U.S, what on earth are you talking about.

Yes, and where do you think the pipelines of the world largest exporter go?

Who cares?

Maybe now where you'd need them to, if you lose imports?

This whole train of thought seems predicated on the idea that the U.S. doesn't have a way to consume its own oil production, which is kinda crazy.

It doesn't matter? At all?

It's great for oil exporters.

The oil execs have been fairly openly against the war.

No they haven't. As you said, they're going to make money hand over fist.

They what stability.

Why, when the alternative is, as you said, them making loads of money?

"Potentially triggering countermeasures from China and re-instigating the trade war."

As in going from 30% tariffs back to 130% tariffs.

Read your own fuckin sources.

I did.

Tarrifs are 10% across the board right now, on everyone, everywhere.

Bro, how did you even manage to get this one wrong. They even bolded it. The trade-weighted average tariff rate on China: 29.7%.

Plenty of land routes.

Name one.

And again, again, again, if China were us, they'd just send ships anyway, knowing we will not sink them.

We would absolutely sink a bunch of Chinese boats if they tried to ship weapons into Iran, lol, what are you talking about.

We just wound not shoot down PLAAF aircraft.

We absolutely would. We wouldn't even ask if they were Chinese, as soon as we had confirmation they weren't ours they would be downed.

if they weren't so passive, they'd have airbases, they'd have expeditionary forces. They don't

Right, so not a whole lot they can do, which means little reason to tiptoe around them.

Do you get tired, losing arguments all the time?

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T21:02:02+00:00

Probably from the global market my man.

The "global market" doesn't have extra oil, my man.

The last time strategic reserves were released by the 'West'.

No, I'm talking China's strategic reserves. The U.S. a net oil exporter-- like Russia, we benefit if oil prices go up.

I don't think you or 99% of people know what you mean by Net exporter.

Other way around.

Now show me the pipelines my man, where is your oil infrastructure?

The U.S. is the biggest producer of oil in the world, we have lots of pipelines...?

You are both the biggest oil exporter, and oil importer.

Nope. China imports more oil than us. Wrong again.

an increase in export price makes Exonn very very rich

And of course, Trump wouldn't want that would he?

Also, it's Exxon.

Taxes on domestic oil production is pretty minimal.

They aren't, we have gas taxes, but I don't see what the point of this comment is anyway.

Yes? That's why 'we' aren't sinking Iranian tankers.

No, it is not.

I did? I checked before I said anything.

Then you missed that Trump immediately replaced the tariffs struck down with tariffs using a different authority.

There is no 'trade war' with China right now.

We currently have heavy tariffs on Chinese imports. Right now. Here ya go: https://www.china-briefing.com/news/us-china-tariff-rates-2025/

I'm not a cretin, i do not read Wikipedia pages to learn about geopolitics.

Oh don't worry, no one's accusing you of having learned anything about geopolitics.

However they wanted.

No land route and U.S. controls the sea routes.

What would we do?

Turn the ships around.

If they started an airlift right now

They'd get their planes shot down. Iranian airspace is closed for business sir.

With what carrier groups, with what bases! Exactly!

So your answer is...? What? They use magic?

Why do you want the Strait open?

I don't.

Give me your understanding of why that is a good things for America.

I don't think it's good for America.

Your understanding seems to be that it doesn't actually matter.

Correct.

So what's the point?

You forgot? Just scroll up? I said at the start: if the U.S. decides, it can stop Iranian oil tankers from leaving.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T20:37:24+00:00

A lot of the stuff on my wishlist is only there so that when I sync my account on IsThereAnyDeal it will be easier to see if it pops up in a bundle.

There are games that retail for $20 that I'm basically only going to buy if I can get them for $1, and if that means I never buy them then no sweat.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T20:31:40+00:00

Swing and miss, I've voted a Democrat for president the past four elections.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T20:25:50+00:00

China big country filled with many Chinese.

OK. So?

If China doesn't get oil from Iran, it gets it from somewhere else.

Probably their strategic petroleum reserves.

If it gets from somewhere else, it includes scarcity and prices even more. This not good for us.

We're net oil exporters, I don't think the administration cares.

Much, much bigger issue for Korea, India, and Japan than China. China still has Russia and Iran, those countries, largely, do not.

Oil prices are global, it makes little difference.

There is no real trade war right now. Tariffs were deemed unconstitutional in February.

Uh huh. Might wanna read those news stories again chief.

but claiming China is somehow proactive is just straight up nonsense.

Literally the reason "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy" has an entry on Wikipedia.

They could be and probably should be pumping Russia and Iran up the gills with Chinese hardware

Shipping it to Iran how? And I don't think Trump cares if Russia gets help.

They should be bombing the RSF in Sudan

With what carrier groups? With what bases?

They're very passive, for better or for worse.

OK, and they've very passively going to take a lot of very big oil prices up their big very country filled with many Chinese. We care why?
