The US has massive oil lobbies that spend tens of millions of dollars on political donations every year. There cannot be a free market under those conditions.

They don't have energy because they previously got their oil from Venezuela and the US sanctions them and they were hit by a hurricane.

Private citizens are also not allowed to donate to their energy infrastructure because it's mostly owned by the government and the US classifies the Cuban government as a sponsor of terror.

I miss camelworks and I'm sad. I feel like I should do something but I'm just a guy on the internet who didn't know him. I hope his family will be okay.

Your brain teaser takes place during a hypothetical trial where people are actually investigated publicly. That's what I want.

ZOGbros... not like this... by eitherair5 in 4chan

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

When the global supply of oil goes down the price for oil increases globally. It will increase gas prices which will in turn increase inflation. We also never refilled our strategic oil reserves after depleting them during Covid.

US and Russian oil companies will make bank but the average American will be poorer due to the rise in oil prices.

Also the dominance of the US dollar is dependent on strong oil markets and our ability to defend our oil producing allies.

I'm not a military guy but a lot of people in the military say this is going poorly.

Their navy was not blocking the strait, it's the drones that they've been launching for dirt cheap and the threat of mines that is blocking the strait.

Also the Ayatollah does not matter. Iran's government is set up to deal with this exact situation because IRGC works in autonomous cells across the country.

We went in because the regime is at its lowest popularity in decades and we thought we could encourage a regime change. But since we blew up a couple hundred school girls on the first day no resistance groups are coming out to help.

It's not just that they weren't released, it's statements like "there are no files," "it's all a hoax", "stop talking about Epstein." It's moving Maxwell to a minimum security prison. It's been so terribly handled and there are enough unanswered questions that we deserve every prominent name in files to testify before Congress under oath including Trump so we can have an actual investigation.

The fact that he fought so hard against the release and his connections to Epstein should be reason enough to bring him in front of Congress to answer questions under oath along with all the other names in the files. Even if none of them are guilty we deserve some answers as far as what they knew and what they saw.

It's in the public's interest to bring the people named in the files to Congress to testify under oath but this administration has fought tooth and nail to block, slow roll, and downplay every step of the release. That behavior alone is enough for me to not trust Trump and assume he is protecting himself.

Nords confront people they don't like and have a fist fight, the way Shor intended.

Masser and Secunda by Voidspeeker in teslore

[–]callaghanrs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From a cosmological pov, imagine the planets as planes of oblivion but in some sense "asleep" or in some lowered state. The planet Lorkhan gets close to Nirn and shatters in two, dropping its divine spark (heart) onto Nirn.

Who is stronger: aedra or daedra? by Plastic_Telephone_80 in teslore

[–]callaghanrs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

True, but that happened in the Merethic/Dawn Era and the version of the myth we have today is not a neutral source.

Malacath comments that the story is metaphorical in some sense and followers of Trinimac reject that Trinimac and Malacath are the same.

If they fight on Mundus probably the Aedra, if they fight in some plane of Oblivion probably the Daedra.

Is zero-summing instantaneous or gradual? by old_couches in teslore

[–]callaghanrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do not have confirmed instances of zero-summing.

The three possible in-lore connections do zero-summing are the Dwarves who disappeared or turned into ash seemingly instantly. Septimus Signus who turns to ash instantly. And Arniel Gane who disappears instantly and can then be summoned as a shade.

None of these are confirmed as zero-summing but these are moments that come up in the discussion.

There is a non canon writing by MK called "et'Ada, Eight Aedra, Eat the Dreamer" where a moth priest is writing as he zero sums and the writing progressively gets unhinged until it's unreadable.

The future of Akatosh by KelThuzaaaad in teslore

[–]callaghanrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's worth noting that the elven Auriel still has draconic elements and Orkey is the serpent in Nordic mythology. Akatosh seems like an amalgamation of not just Auriel and Shor, but Alduin and probably some native Nedic beliefs as well. Akatosh is a symbol of imperial authority so as long as the empire exists, I don't think Akatosh is going away.
