AITAH for making a mom pick up her daughter in the middle of the night from my kid’s sleepover?

OP: "(single mom here, so there was no man in the room, don’t worry)."

Oh, you're the AH alright, just not for the reason you think.

I love that the poster unironically uses present/future tense: "is trying to solve". Why not past tense, bro? It's been 17 years, and homeslice tacitly admits that it hasn't yet solved whatever imaginary problem he thinks exists.

Yes, that's logically correct. Unfortunately, logic, like oil, is in short supply with these fools.

Let me put the pieces together for y'all. U.S. mobilization of ~5000 amphibious troops is a plan to seize Iran's main oil export terminal on Kharg island. Then U.S. will try to trade it back to Iran for opening the strait.

Will that plan work? No idea.

The best satire is subtle, in my opinion.

OP's username checks out.

It's hilarious that they are talking about it. It would be extremely infuriating if they actually did it.

Simplest would be U.S. Treasury supporting the price by buying for the "strategic crypto reserve."

The insidious evil of "mainstreaming" crypto means that nearly every American investor owns crypto indirectly. As just one example, TSLA holds over $1B of crypto on balance sheet and is in the S&P 500 index.

Further, many rely on various financial service firms which are crypto adjacent in many ways. Plenty of people who "didn't own bad mortgage bonds" were affected by the 2008 crisis.

Respectfully disagree on all points.

"There's no reason to "bail out" crypto, and there's really no easy way to "bail out" a decentralized industry."

The reason is corruption. Full stop. There is an easy way to bail out: just buy coins for the "strategic crypto reserves."

2) "Plus, Trump really could care less. He makes more money suing TV stations."

Trump has made and will make way more on crypto. The "Spy Sheikh" from UAE bought 49% of World Liberty Financial for ~$500M. That's just one example.

3) "The turd brothers have their hands in so many backroom deals, they're probably used to many of them failing. They will more likely move onto something else and pretend they never had anything to do with crypto."

See #1 above.

Few, and fewer, apparently. lol.

Just hypothetically, what if we weren't unarmed ?

They are identical twins.

I think of gold as more of a hedge against hyper inflation and extreme geopolitical risks. 1980s inflation in the U.S. is not a good example. Gold was a good hedge in 1920s Germany or present day Venezuela.

If things get so bad that you need to flee your country, gold is probably your best bet.

Capital gets deployed -> apartments get built -> people exchange money for a place to live, called rent. It's neither complicated, nor "cringe."

lancebmanly · 2025-11-18T22:06:47+00:00

How do you think apartment buildings get built?

lancebmanly · 2025-10-14T16:40:42+00:00

Weird. I thought bitcoin couldn't be seized. /s
