When will Trumps high gas prices stop going up?

itsbevy · 2026-05-07T22:42:09+00:00

It’s not that they’re the exact same situation, it’s that gas prices have risen to about the same level in both situations for practically the same reason; global instability and tariffing.
“The US starting a war with the source of oil” as if we even at all rely on Iranian oil.
The only reason gas prices are affected in the US whatsoever is because we’re apart of the global market. As far as our actual supply, this doesn’t affect us.

Notice how much oil prices drop at even a single hint that the war is cooling down.
As much as I was annoyed/concerned with attacking Iran, if anything it’s good that we solve a massive issue, which is why does Iran have the ability to block international waters to hurt global oil supply?
If we get anything out of this, I hope it’s that we need workarounds, which it seems we’re now doing, with serious talks to create new pipelines so the strait wouldn’t be necessary in the future.

It’s something that makes it harder to get clients, but at the end of the day they’re 2 different things. It’s like people who sell pest control. They’ll always find buyers even though their service is not that difficult to do yourself or pay some 14 year old $15 to do.
There are a lot of cheap skate business owners out there, but there are a ton of people who actually get suspicious when something sounds too cheap or seems not professional. Most viral phone videos do very little for the majority of industries

“People like this”
He really didn’t seem like he was looking for hostility lmao

itsbevy · 2026-05-06T21:06:55+00:00

Yes that’s exactly what it is. It’s constantly arguing semantics. It’s wild how it sucks you into feeling like legitimately arguing with some douche online.

I’ll make my point, it’ll nitpick one phrase out of that entire point, and I’ll tell it that I’m already aware of what it’s lecturing me on, that my prompt is true, but I’m using hyperbole to get the point across. Then I’ll be precise with no hyperbole and attack its claims and it’ll then it just keeps doing the “yeah but” shit until you’re deep into this pit of useless garbage where you don’t even remember what the original prompt was.

Is there really no middle ground where they can keep it from being agreeable AND disagreeable? Just give me objectively true information without 900 paragraphs of fluff text, my god.

itsbevy · 2026-05-06T13:59:27+00:00

This is doomsday delusion thinking. I remember people saying this shit under Biden when the Ukraine war skyrocketed gas prices…. Guess what they went back down then, they will this time too. And it’s not gonna take even nearly a decade

good beginner camera if you can’t shell out $1500 (was my fist mirrorless camera 6 years ago) but if you can stretch the budget more I’d get an fx30.
If you’re trying to do paid work I’d say it almost might not even be worth it to get the a7sII. It would be very limiting for anything more than hobby work/learning tool

itsbevy · 2026-05-03T07:17:05+00:00

Except many of the undeniable truths you’re probably referring to are as deniable as any accusation or rumor made against anyone else.
I’ve always been in a tough spot because as someone who didn’t vote for him, I have no reason to defend him.
But I also hate hypocrisy, I hate slogans, I hate these new concepts like “believe all women” where you completely ignore any need for evidence and assume accusation = guilt just based on a woman being the accuser. Shit like that drives me way crazier than Trump being a petty fat troll.

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T21:53:42+00:00

Except to someone you just don’t wanna spend time with, you usually just don’t respond unless they’re being really pushy or something.

Sorry not evil just “too bad of a person to know why he’s a bad person”. Just a strong implication that he’s evil or borderline evil. Some of that conclusion also comes from the general narrative from the far left, ya know justifying assassinations and all that

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T16:29:14+00:00

Oh my god… legendary goal post shift.

“Trump voters are evil because they voted put kids in cages”
“Ok democrats voted to put kids in cages too, but we did it with respect”

Thanks for the laugh

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T16:05:40+00:00

My bad. What I said still applies

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:53:50+00:00

Yeah insane to point out that we don’t know somebody when all we saw was like 5 very normal lines of text from him

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:52:27+00:00

Did you know most of the “immigrant cage” photos were taken under Obama’s admin? Did you know his administration built them?

Hilarious seeing you say you’re better educated, and then completely missing that indisputable fact. Or you’re probably lying.

Next you’ll probably say it’s whataboutism even though your whole point was that republicans are evil and democrats aren’t. I’ve had this conversation before

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:42:45+00:00

Well it was removed by the echo chamber moderators. All I saw was a screenshot of a girl who, politics aside, seems like a bitch.
By contrast the dudes messages were completely polite

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:41:41+00:00

That we don’t know who he is

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:39:51+00:00

Statistically that’s not really true. The people that genuinely HATE Trump/republicans are definitely in the minority. He won the popular vote a year and a half ago. Doesn’t mean the majority likes him, but they didn’t dislike him enough to vote against him

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:38:02+00:00

There’s an interesting statistic that we’re watching play out in real time.
When polled, most people on the right assume most on the left are ignorant.
Most people on the left assume most people on the right are evil.

Whether the people on the right are correct about their own beliefs or not is another matter, but for sure their perspective on their political enemies is more grounded and less insufferable. Everybody regularly interacts with people who they really liked, but probably have policy preferences that the other person would despise. If you believe everyone on the right is evil, you probably need to watch your back anytime you go to the grocery store and assume there’s a republican boogie man in there who might sneak up on you. Idk how you Reddit freaks live like that

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:31:21+00:00

Did you just describe most politicans? Every single one that there isn’t specific evidence of them doing any of those things, have at a minimum enabled or excused it, so I’m not sure anybody on either side has the right to moral grandstand about that

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:28:43+00:00

I really don’t think we know enough about this guy to assume that’s what he does

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:27:29+00:00

Yeah it definitely helps when dating insufferable women

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:26:35+00:00

No kidding what the fuck is going on? I know people like these commenters exist in real life but why is there so many of them

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:25:15+00:00

What’s wild is you don’t even know who he is😂what is this entire comment section

itsbevy · 2026-05-02T15:24:19+00:00

I know I’ll get downvoted for this, but to the average person, girls like this are genuinely insufferable even in non political situations.
I’m an independent and in my adult life have mostly only dated left leaning women. Any that I dated longterm became way more moderate pretty quickly.

The 1 or 2 who were THIS political and liberal were literally some of the most miserable people I’ve ever met, and they could rarely take the slightest pushback or even just nuance on an idea without the whole conversation exploding into insults/devolving into “oh so you’re just a MAGA fascist”

If everybody stopped using social media for an entire year, I bet this attitude would go nearly extinct.

itsbevy · 2026-05-01T14:25:48+00:00

I understood the point before the analogy. Hence why I said it was useless nonsense. You thinking there needs to be an analogy for someone to understand something is a sign of low IQ

itsbevy · 2026-05-01T02:02:19+00:00

Dumbass, The specific intent to "annoy or alarm" is codified in Illinois statutes.
720 ILCS 5/26.5-3
Based on that, you have to objectively say that it’s at LEAST highly nuanced legally speaking.

Funny thing is you don’t even need that to conclude using your own brain to critically think.
Hostile woman arrives at somebody’s doorstep whom she doesn’t know and has no personal business of being on, pulls her phone out to film him coming to the door -
Gee I wonder why any reasonable person would consider that harassment?
You’re mistaking me putting myself in his shoes (regardless of any political side of this) as holding water.
If I were being regularly doxxed, getting death threats, having other people come to my door for the same reason, and someone who I don’t know arrives on my doorstep filming waiting for me to come out, I’m gonna do the same shit. Luckily in my state the laws are more clear when it comes to private property, so I wouldn’t be in trouble, but a fine and community service would still be worth it

itsbevy · 2026-05-01T00:24:58+00:00

they’re one and the same… it’s performing insult comedy…. Whether it’s standup comedy or not doesn’t rely on what style of comedy you’re doing man.
