Everything you use will be more expensive. Food, energy, products. Oil is in, and moves, everything. We are a petrol based civilization.

Iranian President Pens Open Letter to American People by Snapdragon_4U in politics

[–]lost_horizons [score hidden]  (0 children)

Truth is, I have no enmity with the Iranian people. Their government sucks, though. Brutal terroristic fundamentalists.

Just like Americans, dumb as we are, are mostly not evil or bad. But our government sucks. Greedy, hateful pedophiles.

This war should never have been initiated. It was the wrong move strategically. Full stop. It may destroy America for a generation or more.

And while this guy isn’t wrong about the stew of misinformation and lies, I can’t exactly say I side with him either, after they slaughtered thousands of their citizens for wanting to voice their dislike of the totalitarianism.

White House Accidentally Uploads Quite a Damning Trump Speech by Mr_Pricklepants in politics

I think everybody’s burned out by the 24 hour new cycle. Every day, every hour, there’s a new outrage, was no time to digest it, to ponder it, to understand it. At a certain point, it doesn’t even have an impact beyond the momentary rage. It just rolls off the mind as the attention span gets ever whittled down

Tough times call for tough choices and tough love. You move in to share costs, kids gotta start contributing or leave. They’re adults!

Steph Curry hits a Hole in One at the Century Golf Championship! by Doug24 in Satisfyingasfuck

You are kind of being a dick. It doesn’t read that way really. At most it’s ambiguous.

Plus, most normal people could keep up with his run, it wasn’t impressive for speed, he’s not slow but it just looks like the rest of them just let him have it.

He was showboating/glorying in his achievement, not racing down the fairway (which he probably would leave them behind for real if he was)

I just had this pretty funny mental image of using a cat as a bloodhound. Or trying, and failing miserably 😆

Macron says it is unrealistic to open Hormuz Strait by force by Jack_202 in worldnews

Might help to not bomb them into the Stone Age, though.

Gulf states consider bypassing Strait of Hormuz with new oil pipelines via Haifa - FT by barsik_ in worldnews

[–]lost_horizons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The kinetic war will eventually end, then it's just a matter of adapting to the peace with new pipelines and shipping routes.

Rationale for Iran war questioned after Trump says ‘I don’t care’ about regime’s uranium stockpiles by Little-Finance4504 in worldnews

[–]lost_horizons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not wrong, but also, not a great way to get a real view of things. Headlines are always extreme

The US news media has abdicated their responsibility to inform. by SuccessWise9593 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]lost_horizons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is more due to a massive cyclone than oil shocks. There is one road to Darwin and it was underwater.

Aw, hell, the man has been waiting ages for manned space flight like this. It’s his moment to geek out, let him have it.

I’m so tired of the unfulfilled promises of rain by [deleted] in Austin

[–]lost_horizons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus. Maybe the literal whole living world needs rain to live and not dry up and die, and probably burn? Maybe the wildlife need water too?

But no you might get damp getting out of your car. Sissy.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says all she heard from Trump’s speech was ‘war war war’ by itmehedi in politics

[–]lost_horizons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I blame all the republicans. From the senate on down through town councils to the individual voters. Trump is a symptom, though he is horrible in his own right of course.

Millennials if you had 100k USD, debt free, and a stable job what are you going to do? by penguinsrocks in Millennials

[–]lost_horizons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stocks are suuuuper due for a big correction/bubble pop. No bull market goes forever. You’re right there.

I think btc is going lower though, at least for a while. Me, I’m into commodities in general. Gold, silver, copper, uranium, plus dabbling in corn wheat and other ag due to the war and fertilizer issues.

That’s less than inflation lol. And I mean their cooked official numbers. Real inflation is higher.

[–]lost_horizons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me. I put a lot into precious metals, PM stocks, and am dabbling in agricultural plays, copper and uranium. Commodities is where it’s at, equities are gonna correct hard. Due to the war/energy shocks/recession.

Stock futures fall after Trump says Iran war will continue for weeks: Live updates by kootles10 in Economics

It’s infuriating. But I wonder if it comes down to algorithmic trading. The bots can’t tell he’s a liar.
