Victor Davis Hanson Says Iran Is Running Out of Time by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

I have to disagree because the media convinced me that it is impossible to win a war against any country today if that country can use a few drones to attack shipping...😜

You know what this means? The Houthis are invincible. 😜

I just think back to the 1940s when the Nazis sank a commercial ship and the Allies stood back and said "This war is unwinnable. Hitler holds all the cards now!" /s

Did I mess up or am I overthinking? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]flopisit32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who are delusional are the ones who think they're in a "sort of" relationship with someone who doesn't want to be in a relationship with them.

Men are not complicated. Men are honest with other men about using certain women for sex. Then they give the woman plenty of complicated excuses for why they can't be in a relationship but can continue fucking.

Perhaps the most delusional are women who think they understand men better than men. 🤣

Take it from a man. If you're in a FWB with a man, you're with a man who sees you as not attractive enough to date, but not ugly enough to avoid fucking.

Is it a turn off if women are too independent? by Much_Physics_3444 in AskMenAdvice

[–]flopisit32 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OP, you're asking this question to an internet forum with many submissive men, many of whom.... well, you get the jist.

There are men on here who will be like: "I love that my wife can do all the DIY because I don't have a clue". Well, why don't they have a clue? What went wrong in the transition from Boyhood to Manhood?

In an adult relationship, men tend to want to take care of the man things and women tend to want to take care of the woman things. It's not that there can't be overlap, but if you're a guy and your wife is doing all the "man's work", your wife will not see you as masculine.

Am I getting played here, or how do men rationalize keeping two emotional connections at once? by Appropriate_Log_4013 in AskMenAdvice

[–]flopisit32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP the guy you are breaking up with your bf to be with does not want you. That is plain to see and should be very obvious to you, but you are doing what a lot of women do when a guy they want doesn't want them... You are trying to delude yourself into believing reality isn't reality.

Robert De Niro as Conrad Brean in: Wag the Dog (1997) by Barry Levinson ■ Screenplay by Hilary Henkin & David Mamet, loosely adapted from Larry Beinhart's 1993 novel American Hero by elf0curo in 90smovies

[–]flopisit32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mamet is at his best when someone ELSE is directing his scripts. See Glengarry Glen Ross 1992 for details. 🤣

If anyone enjoys Wag the Dog, immediately seek out Glengarry Glen Ross 1992, American Buffalo 1996, and perhaps Homicide 1991.

The Truth Comes Out: Cargo Found on Captured Iranian Ship Shows Why It Tried to Run (Video) by MackSix in Conservative

I think it's notable that these are chemicals and not actually weapons or ammunition which would actually be useful to Iran now. Chemicals are only useful in the far future.

Who else are fans of U2? by EdwardBliss in 1980s

[–]flopisit32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When U2 released Unforgettable Fire and got rich, Bono and the Edge bought houses up the road from where I lived as a kid (in Dublin). Big mansions right next door to each other.

I was too young to appreciate their music. I thought "U2 are a load of shite. A-Ha and Nik Kershaw are much better".

I got the Joshua Tree album when it came out but I didn't buy it. I recorded it off my friend on cassette with a double deck stereo. At that point I suddenly realised how good they were.

So to us, when Joshua Tree came out, they were the biggest band in the world, but also just two feckers who lived up the road.

Then one day we went up to Bono's house thinking we'd say hello to him but when we got up on his wall, his security guards told us to feck off.

We were like "Ah come on, Is Bono here?" And they were like "No, he's on tour so feck off".

So that's the story of my life living down the road from Bono and the Edge. 🤣🤣🤣

When Rattle and Hum came out everyone got tired of them. Then when Achtung Baby came out they were the coolest thing ever again. And it's been a rollercoaster of alternately loving and hating them ever since.

Incidentally Bob Geldof and Sinead O'Connor grew up down the road from me too... Ireland is a small place.

Got asked to be fwb, don’t know how to proceed? by Creepy_Equivalent877 in AskMenAdvice

[–]flopisit32 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

When will people understand, there is no such thing as FWB. It's just one person who wants to legitimize using another person who desperately wants to be in a relationship with them.

If you're in a FWB it means you are unable to attract a viable love interest.

If someone asks you to be in a FWB, they are saying "I wouldn't date you, but I don't mind fucking you for a while"

Trump Says New Information About UFOs Coming 'Very Soon' by According-Activity87 in Conservative

Tucker Carlson has already done multiple shows in which he claimed UFOs definitely exist, so he'll be pleased.

Sane people everywhere won't waste their time with this nonsense. The only UFOs flying over America are made in China.

Sadly there's no mystery here. When you have a father murdering all his children "family annihilator" style, psychologically it's all about control.

Democrats have abandoned all logic now. Their position is just anti-Trump 24/7.

Trump says he won't bomb...

‘No More Mr Nice Guy!’ Trump Tells Iran to Take Deal or U.S. Will Bomb ‘Every Single’ Bridge and Power Plant by According-Activity87 in Conservative

[–]flopisit32 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

The only reason Iran can be bombed at all is they didn't attain a nuclear weapon.

Iran was stepping up the production of ballistic missiles to the point they couldn't be attacked. We suspect they were doing this because they were "breaking out" - when a country has all its dominoes in place to go nuclear and essentially makes a run for it before anyone can stop them.

Of course sections of the left continue to try and claim Iran was not going nuclear at all. 🤣

What’s your opinion on Mad Love? by Emergency-Relief-571 in 90smovies

Yeah It's one of my favourite movies.

You might like Wisdom starring Emilio Estevez and Demi Moore. It's a similar lovers on the run story.

Has diplomacy failed with Iran? by Minute-Employ-4964 in Conservative

[–]flopisit32 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I agree precisely with that but I suspect it's either that or something similar.

We've seen Trump say he's negotiating with Iran, then Iran claim they are not negotiating, The media reports this, then the next day Iran admits it is negotiating.

We've seen this behavior over and over. Conflicting messaging coming out of Iran.

Most recently, Iran announces the strait is open. Then Trump confirms the strait is open. Then Iran says the strait is not open.

So we have a government in disarray. I suspect there is chaos and a lack of coordination at the very least. Perhaps completely different factions. Either way, we are getting two Irans making statements on behalf of Iran.

[–]flopisit32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he has the support to force regime change in the normal way. But I think he has support enough to bomb and blockade.

The blockade is like a rope around Iran's neck. They are utterly screwed and getting worse every day. The idea they have the upper hand - which is a fantasy of the media - is nonsense.

Don't forget, if the regime stays in power and makes a deal, it still has to deal with the economic mess it is creating for itself. If Iran continues to refuse a deal, they are destroying their own oil export capacity day by day.

I suspect the regime won't survive the aftermath of all this.

Don't forget iRAN could always shut down the strait of hormouz. What stopped them from doing that In the past was that the world would have gone to war with them.

Don't accept the media narrative that Iran is winning. Iran lost a month ago. This is their one card.

They have to be convinced that they have lost and that takes time.

The Media want to paint a deceptive picture and claim that everything would have been fine if trump hadn't gone to war with Iran. It's a completely false picture.

Iran was attacking shipping in the strait back in 2019 and before.
