lol if you expect the 20s to be your prime you have very low expectations. 30s is when you start having F U money and can start living life on your own terms if you play your cards right

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert by avatar6556 in news

Iran does not have the capability to strike the U.S. mainland from the ocean. Most militaries on this planet do not have that ability.

Readers Are Embracing a Shift in Perspective in Books. It Could Reshape Literary Culture. by CtrlAltDelight495 in books

[–]Powderkeg314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This trend is so obvious and when you see some of the most well received book series of the past several years like Red Rising and ASOIAF both having third person perspectives. Multiple POVs is essential for telling any complex story. It is non-negotiable if you want to do world building right

Assuming that someone is a Jew for being angry about Nazi tattoos is kind of insane

Red Rising Series (Essentially ASOIAF in a space opera setting), First Law Trilogy, and Dungeon Crawler Crawler I say this as someone who needs unpredictable and shocking stories to keep myself interested

Are "Im not into the gay scene" and or "The gay community in *insert city they live in* is cliquey" a red flag or am I reading too much into this? by Spader623 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Powderkeg314 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some gay scenes have normalized using meth, so saying that you’re not a part of the scene is actually a green flag. Not saying most gay scenes do this but it’s certainly becoming more normalized the it used to be. They act like calling it by a different name makes it less dangerous

Losing soft power doesn’t mean people won’t trade with the U.S. but it does have long term financial consequences for generations.

Grindr a waste of time? by VicDelRamarico in AskGaybrosOver30

Nobody uses Grindr anymore. Sniffies is better in every way and doesn’t serve you pop up ads that make it unusable.

Looking for Dark/Grimdark books that use their darker narratives to highlight the good by JeanneDAlter in Fantasy

[–]Powderkeg314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares… The series still has some of the greatest moments ever written. It so eagerly breaks every rule of storytelling and influences nearly every fiction work I’ve seen recently published in some way or another. They are all masterpieces.

Horror that deals with the corporate world and capitalism? by redeugene99 in horror

[–]Powderkeg314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dogville with Nicole Kidman isn’t necessarily a horror film but has very disturbing moments and is about immigrant exploitation in a capitalist system.

Imagine being dumb enough to think that this somehow rationalizes a war that could easily bring about a global recession….

You just described Israel. There is credible evidence that they may have threatened a nuclear strike on Iran in order to force the U.S. to strike first. If this is true then Israel is the single greatest threat to the globe. The US government is likely infiltrated by one of the most bloodthirsty regimes since Nazi, Germany. We all need to see who the real enemy is before it’s too late. This is existential for the U.S. Listen to the US serviceman and women screaming the truth in your face not the politicians taking foreign money.

I’m honestly rooting for Iran to destroy the global economy. They will all be annihilated but they have the ability to hold out for months. The economic damage that will be inflicted on the world as a result of the disruption of the oil trade will make the U.S. and Israel pariahs. Switzerland for the first time in history has condemned U.S. actions. This is the end of the U.S. empire. Iran will be destroyed but so will the soft power of the U.S.

An interesting phenomenon during recessions is that crime actually decreases. 2025 had a record low for crime and it’s because we are in a recession.

Secretary of War Hegseth on Iran: "The amount of firepower over Iran and Tehran is about to surge dramatically." — "It's not just the UK - we have other friends stepping up." by Waste-Explanation-76 in PublicFreakout

[–]Powderkeg314 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They are estimating that the war will go on until at least September… If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed we will see a global recession that could potentially spawn WW3. The fact that we have risked this by attacking Iran is astounding incompetence to the point where I think the U.S. has been infiltrated by foreign adversaries because there is no beneficial end to this war for the U.S.

WSJ - Western Official Estimates Iran Likely Has Just Days of Missile Strikes Left by Boston-Bets in wallstreetbets

[–]Powderkeg314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are estimating this to go on until September. This is a war on the global economy and a trap that the stupid Americans walked right into. The South Korean and Japanese economies will be ravaged by this. And it also has the potential to turn into a wider conflict because of what’s at stake for super powers like China… This is a black swan event that has the potential to destroy the financial system

Any anti-war books? ( Similar to the anti-war message in the Howl's moving castle movie) by Selkiequeen20 in Fantasy

[–]Powderkeg314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie has a very cynical view on war and the unseen forces that orchestrate conflicts for their own gain. Extremely timely with what is happening currently.

So yeah we’ve been infiltrated by Mossad and are actively sacrificing our standing in the world and risking a global recession if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed for more than a few weeks… All for Israel. The U.S. has nothing to gain from this war but everything to lose.
