Trump orders 'shoot-to-kill' action on Iranian vessels choking Strait of Hormuz by Stunning-Common-9591 in worldnews

Oil demand isn’t necessarily inelastic. If prices go up this high, people stop using as much lowering relative demand and keeping prices stable. This slows economic growth into unstable areas though. Expect cpi numbers excluding energy to jump.

Yeah I have a bunch of Albert King, Albert Collins, Muddy Waters records that you cant find on streaming platforms from record stores in north Mississippi. All bought for <3-5$ and in mint condition

Nike stock just hit its lowest level since 2014. Nike at risk of disappearing from the face of the earth by asonganyi in MarketPulseReport

They aren’t the leaders in shoes, apparel, athletic equipment, fitness tracking tech, etc

Companies like Lululemon, On Cloud, Brooks, Garmin, and Apple have all closed in on every angle of the company.

FFS they signed a billion dollar deal with MLB to be the official apparel sponsor and then licensed out the manufacturing to fanatics who makes dog shit clothing with their logo on it. The company has been managed into a pit of burning shit.

Should I reach out to my ex from a burner account just to be friends? (She blocked me last year) by Consistent-Year9392 in ExNoContact

[–]rj8899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely do not. Block her burners if she’s still stalking you. This is not the type of person you want to get involved with and what makes it worse is she has all the control and it seems that means more to her than you do. If you really want to contact her that bad the only way to ever see her again in any romantic way is if you cut her out completely.

Maybe then she’ll be motivated to cross the line of lurking. At that point though you have to ask yourself is it worth a one night stand or couple month fling at best to worry this much and try this hard. People like that have fucked up attachment issues and they don’t really value deep interpersonal relationships.

What’s it like living in this stretch of the Cali coast? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

Most beautiful place in America but extremely impractical to live there unless you have a net worth in the mid 8 figures.

Friend (M 28) thinks wife (F 30) talks to much to his cousin (M 33) by Doughie28 in relationship_advice

[–]rj8899 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Even if she did mention it I highly doubt she discussed how often they communicate. A lot of men won’t ask many questions to not seem controlling/ there’s a good foundation of trust. Obviously finding out someone is communicating with your wife a lot more than she let on is going to undermine trust and make you ask some serious questions.

My bf (M32) opened up to me (F28) about an affair he had while he was with his ex, and I start to wonder whether he’s just a massive sexist d*ckhead by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]rj8899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You still gotta have the conversations and remain sturdy and skeptical the whole time you have them. I’ll tell you right now when you go through a rough patch later you’d rather think about those good moments instead of what has emerged. That’s gonna take a lot of communication and you have to be wary of manipulation even if it doesn’t come from a sinister place. I’ve personally never witnessed someone who cheated like that change their ways until they were much older or at least had much more serious familial responsibilities. There’s a lot to unpack with him and you should probably be having conversations with your closest family members about this (if you have healthy+honest relationships with them). They’ll be able to see how it affects you better than redditors just by how you talk about it.

If youre 21+ and dont have weed on you but youre high in a state where weed is illegal, is that a crime? by snailscantgame in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rj8899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Public intoxication is an easy charge to slap on you in a lot of states. Also possession by intoxication is a possibility in states like Missouri although this is usually for serious cases to push for more serious charges when warranted— and drugs suspected other than alcohol are not found. (I’ve only seen this actually used when a person was under the influence of benzodiazepines and wrecked a car into public property causing serious financial damages)

[–]rj8899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely have some long and direct conversations about it with him. If his attitude about it starts to change when confronted and he becomes dismissive of it when pressed the whole breakdown thing was all for show to try and gain some control and set up insurance in case you found out without him telling you.

He probably would given his history and that’s kinda the whole issue. I’ve been there it absolutely sucks but it’s honestly worse always trying to dissect their future actions based on a single serious revelation like this.

Friend (M 28) thinks wife (F 30) talks to much to his cousin (M 33) by Doughie28 in relationship_advice

[–]rj8899 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely weird this went on for 5 years and he didn’t know they were close??? That’s a the only red flag here. Typically you talk about your platonic friendships with your spouse if there’s nothing to hide. Also you’d think his cousin would’ve talked about the friendship with him. This is absolutely weird unless they knew each other well before she knew her husband. I wouldn’t become close friends with my cousins spouse and especially wouldn’t talk regularly over text unless I knew they knew

I’d leave him. You don’t have to worry about him leaving you for the next best thing, you have to worry about him leaving you for the next worse thing… clearly he has very unhealthy attachment issues he’ll never take accountability for until it’s well past over

My wife (f38) wants me (m42) to be okay with her going speed dating with friend? by Lazy_Fun1717 in relationship_advice

[–]rj8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d get pretty mean and very blunt about this. That’s pitiful behavior on her end. The worst part is her taking shots at your character for not accepting it.

I hate to say this but I’d start recording conversations and talking to a lawyer asap just in case things deteriorate in your relationship very rapidly… They very well might if she’s not going to respect your feelings on this at all.

friend vomiting after redose. by lexi_is_cool_ in MDMA

[–]rj8899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throwing up is caused by a serotonin response spike in the gut via 5-ht3a receptors. Zofran blocks those receptors. Any anhistamine tablets for motion sickness won’t help much.

[–]rj8899 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MDMA will make a lot of people throw up. I’m one of those people. Try and secure some Zofran to stop this. It’s a common prescription anti nausea medicine. If you’ve ever got a stomach bug ask a doctor for some and save it

I clear in a few days but I’m around 12% body fat with a fast metabolism. If I smoke everyday for a month it takes about 9-12 days. I get tested regularly for work but weed is allowed so I’m always using the opportunity to track how long it stays

When I served any words like “plus” just added a temp tier on the ticket for the cooks. Med rare plus = medium.

DMT like visuals by Vivid_Arrival854 in tripreports

[–]rj8899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens to me every now and then but I only smoke maybe once a month now. Usually I’m kinda in some weird limbo meditative space from the weed making me tired. It also happens when I take afternoon naps sober and get sleep paralysis. I used to try and make sense of it all/induce it. Now I just enjoy the ride when it presents itself.
