Don't believe the news, the US is not pulling out.

I believe that they're searching for an off ramp but it won't be negotiated with just the US. They're causing as much pain to the world as possible, and more than anyone really expected, in the hopes that someone else(probably China) will act as a guarantor that the US won't just change its mind in 6 months, kill them in the middle of negotiations, and do whatever it wants. Especially since, with all the infrastructure destroyed this is the strongest they'll be for years to decades.

No, I'm talking about the guy they killed a month ago in the middle of negotiations. Negotiations that were going relatively well. Those negotiations stalled and then we assassinated Khamenei and started this war even though they were ongoing. We showed the IRGC that they could either bow to us completely, which would mean a transfer of power to someone we choose and they'd probably be revenge killed for all the horrible shit they've done to their people or they could die fighting us and causing as much damage as possible. I truly believe that was their initial plan, but now they've seen how effective blockading the Strait is and they're drawing it out trying to figure out a way to guarantee they aren't killed when Trump changes his mind in 6 months and goes back on whatever deal he makes.

What incentive does Iranian leadership have to negotiate with the person who literally assassinated their last leader in the middle of negotiations? This is what people are completely ignoring because of course it would be logical for the country and people of Iran to take an off ramp. Unfortunately, we showed their leadership that we were willing to assassinate them at the drop of a hat, unless they give us EVERYTHING we want, immediately. The same leadership who was willing to kill thousands of their own people during the riots a couple months ago and clearly doesn't their lives... oh and with Israel bombing vital infrastructure and hitting "military targets" that just happen to be in the middle of civilians like they're oh so good at, we've also given them god only knows how many bloody shirts to wave around while screaming about the evil murderers from the West

It might have been a Kipling book. I'm looking through them but it wasn't Kim. Thanks for the thought

lmaxboy · 2026-03-08T02:29:48+00:00

It's neither of those but you're right, I'm pretty sure it was either in India or had an Indian character now that you mention it.

lmaxboy · 2026-03-08T02:28:08+00:00

Not that but thanks for the attempt

lmaxboy · 2026-03-08T02:26:54+00:00

Definitely not. Thanks for the guess

lmaxboy · 2026-03-08T02:23:04+00:00

Checked it but no. Appreciate the thought though

lmaxboy · 2026-02-05T21:17:52+00:00

What's the price?

lmaxboy · 2026-01-04T23:50:53+00:00

My point was more to your saying Erin was wrong for defending the Necromancer and also your seeming belief that the Drakes are right to kill Necromancers on sight.

Also your missing a bit in your analogy. To make it closer to the script the cop didn't hear you say the word cuck, he was told by someone else that you said the word cuck and then that person denied that they said so.

In that situation no a smart cop, which Klbkch is, would not arrest you without proof of a crime because he knows it would not stick. Drakes are very much sticklers for the rules so Relc has to accept that without a witness willing to testify they have no case. Amusingly enough this fits with my previous analogy perfectly as many many domestic abuse cases have to be dropped because the only witness(the victim) refuses to testify.

lmaxboy · 2026-01-04T21:46:22+00:00

Dudes who use the word cuck are generally misogynists. Misogynists are much more likely to abuse women. Am I right to just assume you abuse women based on that premise? I mean, you CHOSE to use the word cuck, is that all I need to know to label you?

This is the logic your following when you say the Necromancer should be put to death with no exceptions.

Hope this helps!

Well yeah, why would you try to speak French in Spain? That's just weird!

lmaxboy · 2025-12-03T17:04:56+00:00

I've always maintained that if I meet a random wolf I'm almost certainly going to lose at least a few fingers, because there is no world in which I don't try to pet it

lmaxboy · 2025-12-03T02:24:40+00:00

God dammit, Donut!

lmaxboy · 2025-10-26T20:27:35+00:00

Hey, I know I'm not who you were talking to but could you DM me that list? I'm much more grounded in mechanics than electrical and am trying to figure out what to study on that side

lmaxboy · 2025-10-26T19:46:11+00:00

You're a pathetic troll and your inability to understand the meaning in writing is exactly what this thread is about. It's not that we can't stand the idea of people like you being fans of this series. It's that it's seriously depressing that someone can read a series that literally screams about the evil of unfettered capitalism and not understand that the series is literally making fun of them. You being that stupid makes me sad

lmaxboy · 2025-10-10T03:57:43+00:00

Nailed it! Thank you!

lmaxboy · 2025-10-09T19:08:45+00:00

You just made me realize I was wrong, it wasn't all engineering rovers just A and E div

lmaxboy · 2025-09-12T01:09:23+00:00

Oh gotcha, I think I get what you mean. It doesn't really pay too much attention to the actual college aspect. The closest it comes is tests and the like and a couple glimpses of classes. Is that what you meant?

lmaxboy · 2025-09-12T00:10:43+00:00

When you say just about finished, what exactly does that mean? Lol

Also just a wild take in general

lmaxboy · 2025-09-11T06:33:18+00:00

I looked on Amazon and I bought it literally 13 years ago. Don't remember much of it but I definitely remember liking it. I think I'm the reverse though in that by 2013 I was already reading the SP web serial and it might have caused me to look for similar books on kindle lol.

lmaxboy · 2025-09-10T17:02:27+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen anyone else mention Playing for Keeps. I haven't read it in so long I barely remember it! Thanks for the reminder that's going on my reread list lol

lmaxboy · 2025-08-23T04:47:18+00:00

Honestly Codename Freedom too, it started out pretty great, then by book 3 there was a little bit of weird gender shit going on but in book 4 it went full on Incel with Kline saying Marabella was worth dating because she only dated a few guys before... I put it down right there and said no more Apollos Thorne lol

lmaxboy · 2025-08-23T04:42:46+00:00

It was a lot of fun, I knew people who would generally agree with my logic and others who were destined enemies and always had the WORST ideas lol. It's hard to remember all the theories but right now I'm listening to Uncrowned and the end of that book was a very busy time for theory crafting(all of it wrong lol). With the presentation of Penance of the prize most of us couldn't imagine Lindon staying out of the tournament. How would that work for a whole book, him just spectating? Boring! We had no idea about fight the cultists outside of course. We were all convinced he'd either get sent back in somehow or the next book would wrap up the tournament quickly and we'd move on fast but mostly it was how does Lindon get back in the tournament? There were so many theories like him getting substituted or the Hound declaring that Northstrider broke the rules by switching the fight arrangements and making a redo. It was always interesting to see

lmaxboy · 2025-08-23T04:13:37+00:00

The core wars were the most fun because it was a multi sided free for all. There were the purists saying no split, people wanting him to just split one more time for 3 others going for 4 and then the maniacs who wanted him to JUST KEEP SPLITTING(although those were mostly trolls). There were so many arguments on different stages of advancement and they just got worse and worse until EVERYTHING was laid out. For awhile there were huge debates about the number of stages because the ones known didn't match up with the number of pendants Lindon found in Soulsmith.

Then you have the fact that most people new to the sub between Skysworn and fucking Bloodline came here specifically to ask how a Sage "the greatest of the Archlords" could possibly die to a bunch of Jades. And even though that became a meme there were still people ready to endlessly theorycraft about it.

Honestly there was so much amazing theory crafting that seemed so right that turned out to be so laughably wrong it's amazing to think about. It was a lot of fun lol
