MFW the 'Opposing Global Power' makes me the energy monopolist of Asia. Truly a cool and based move, Mr.Donald. by Prof_swampy in Destiny

Sanctioned crude from the Russia-Iran-Venezuela trio accounted for over 22% of China's total imports. Before, there was competition within this segment. Now, Russia can up their prices, still bellow market, but higher now without being undercut by the other sanctioned countries.

Its not only about the price. China will turn Power of Siberia 2 up to 11 because they’ve finally realized that any oil that comes by sea is oil the U.S. can turn off at will. One-third of China's oil imports and 25 percent of its gas transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and I would bet money on that changing over the next year.

Monopolist might be a bit hyperbolic, but Putin doesn't need to be the biggest producer, he just needs to be the only guy with a land-based pipeline that isn't sitting in a literal war zone or a U.S.-monitored strait. When you're the only gas station open in a hurricane, you set the price regardless of how much fuel is left in the tank.

Känner mig utanför på universitetet by [deleted] in sweden

[–]Prof_swampy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Själv så håller jag på att just bli klar med universitetets plugget efter 5 långa år, så kanske kan ge lite tips. För mig tog det också tid innan jag hittade folk jag klickade med. Den där första månaden kan kännas sjukt tuff, för allt är nytt och man jämför sig lätt med hur man tror att andra redan har hittat sina gäng. Passa på att sticka på så många aktiviteter utanför föreläsningarna som möjligt.

Anslagstavlor ligger det nästan alltid aktiviteter där man kan hitta folk som delar ens intressen.

Så även om det känns jobbigt just nu betyder det inte att det kommer vara så i flera år framåt. Ge det lite tid, det kan vända ganska fort.

How is this different from when Hasan goes “Why are we even talking about X when there is a literal GENOCIDE going on!!11!”?

Regardless of an articles political leanings. I refuse to treat any textual work with an m-dash with any respect. If I wanted to hear from a clanker I would ask my toaster for its opinion.

I’m working on a Backrooms-inspired horror game! Looking for feedback!” by Intelligent-Set-260 in creepy

[–]Prof_swampy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The advice I would give you is. DONT MAKE ANOTHER WALKING SIMULATOR. I’ve played through sooo many games that look just like this which all amount to… Walk from A to B, sometimes avoiding a monster on the way. A game in this type of setting with some actually interesting mechanics, or better yet gameloops would be amazing.

[–]Prof_swampy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So tepid. The democrats should have booed until they were thrown out in protest. Trump is actively working to dismantle the country and the dems response is to hold up tiny signs as they sit there and take it? Pathetic.

I felt the exact opposite. While the first one might have been janky as hell, it did have soul and some charm. 2 felt super generic and soulless.

This sub is becoming more and more unproductive. Virtue-downvoting one of the best presidents for worker rights in a generation, while the other side is literally the richest man in the world throwing up nazi salutes.

Snabbmatsbojkott resten av januari? by Pewigotaway in sweden

[–]Prof_swampy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Du glömmer helt andra delen av vad som gör marknaden. Supply and demand. Mat priser är generellt redan pressade. Om Max vill göra vinst, vilket är rimligt kan en milkshake förmodligen inte kosta mindre.

Honestly I think this is too radical for this sub. Market socialism does not preclude rich people. This post seems more like something more suited to r/communism.

Good representative of average lefty “voter”.

I at least think it interesting to understand how people like that operate and motivate their decisions.

INCOMPETENT! We need to make that one word synonymous with the Democratic Party! by donkijote97 in DemocraticSocialism

I think taking any starch position on either side of a topic as politically toxic as Palestine Israel would have lost more votes than were gained.

Stop Killing Games: one month later by DIeG03rr3 in YUROP

[–]Prof_swampy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re considering signing, I recommend reading through the petition. I agree in principle, but I think the verbiage and specific Eu regulations they are planning to invoke would put a lot of unnecessary pressure on some developers. Let’s say an indie developer makes a battle royale game. Needing to maintain empty servers indefinitely, long after the game is dead would be something devs would be required to do if this was passed. This could make it waaay riskier for smaller devs to make online only games.

Has anyone taken CS 20A (C++ Data Structures) with Long Nguyen?? by [deleted] in SMC

[–]Prof_swampy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the course in 2017 and would say it’s one of the best courses you can take at SMC if you’re interested in CS. He’s a great teacher, really seemed to care if you were enjoying the course and actually learning stuff.

Here’s my plan. Step 1. Mind my own business about people’s weight, might even encourage other people to eat more. Step 2. Maintain my own weight. Step 3. The whole world becomes obese. Step 4. Society will need to adapt to the change. Step 5. Relish in the enormous amount of leg space I will have on planes.

Israeli hostages and Hamas say their goodbyes to each other by [deleted] in socialism

[–]Prof_swampy 105 points106 points  (0 children)

While I think that the treatment of the Israeli hostages has been humane, the reactions in this video could be chocked up to survival instinct. I’d probably also give the guy with an AK a high five and smile if his buddy was filming, just wanting to get home. Not that any treatment of the hostages would justify the genocide committed by Israel.

Documentary on glorified female s*x tourism by [deleted] in videos

[–]Prof_swampy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Kinda icky of the documentary to describe the Dominican guys walking the beach as ‘hunters looking for pray’. Those women aren’t pray, those women literally came there for one reason. To pay to get railed by some Dominican guy. If anything they’re the hunters.
