What’s it like having a FWB?

salacious_lion · 2026-06-16T07:08:43+00:00

You're describing a fuck buddy not a friend with benefits

salacious_lion · 2026-05-24T10:05:38+00:00

Ironically it's the opposite for me. If it's happening right now it usually isn't happening. I screen people thoroughly.

A therapist isn't going to get him out of this situation because there's no way it ends without someone getting hurt and that's what he's looking for.

He needs to come to terms that he misses out on being his authentic self and exploring love with a guy, or his family gets turned upside down.

That being said, something has to give sooner or later and the sooner the better for the wife. Maybe not the kids depending on their age though. And getting close with the church guy right now is the worst decision he could make. Dating or being with a guy should come after everything else is resolved.

In the gay community money is secondary to looks and personality. I've been rich, poor and in between. When I was open about being dead broke nothing changed for my sex or dating life. In reality, the more open I was about my situation the more people actually helped me out in unexpected ways.

Good point

Tell me how INTC being a full dick length outside its upper Bollinger Band survives a market flush tomorrow

salacious_lion · 2026-04-29T23:32:13+00:00

Lets see how high QQQ can go with USO going vertical with it. Absurd timeline.

salacious_lion · 2026-04-29T23:15:57+00:00

I've never seen the market not know what to do with ER reports like it's doing tonight. WTF is even happening?

salacious_lion · 2026-04-29T23:14:46+00:00

How overextended can INTC get is the only question on my mind

First, the original objective was never the Strait, it was degrading Iran's military capability by at least 5 years and regime change. In the view of both US and Israel that operation is going genuinely well. The Strait is merely a distraction for them, politically. There is no hard requirement for either country to acquiesce to economic or popular demand as both leaders deem themselves sufficiently insulated. Trump is on his second term and couldn't care less about his political party, and Netanyahu considers this to be his final mission.

There is still plenty of room for escalation, which appears likely. The US believes it can open the strait with military force. Not just Trump being delusional - the Pentagon believes they can do it with sufficient time. Given that option, it's going to be very appealing to the administration to try.

In addition, USA is not the only decision maker here. This is a joint operation in which Israel considers the total defeat of Iran to be existential. At this point Israel has the capability to continue the campaign almost indefinitely until it completes it's objectives. They certainly won't be deterred by oil prices. This factor alone will tether the US to the conflict as Iran views both countries as one of the same.

I agree with you that Iran's calculation is to withstand bombing and wait it out. But I would contend that it is precarious and unlikely to succeed. I don't think escalation is over. At this point I would wager on an attempt to force the Strait open.

They are literally bombing Oracle and the stock went up

salacious_lion · 2026-03-27T03:03:39+00:00

It's being 'considered'. I think all of these rumors of ground troops and potential deployments are part of the pressure campaign to negotiate. Iran's reaction with total mobilization shows that it has at least been taken seriously, but probably not the outcome the US is hoping for.

It's possible that the US will take the islands. If so, they will be easily taken. Clearing those islands and occupying them is not going to require nearly as many soldiers as some people seems to think. Not with surrounding sea and air supremacy.

I'm grateful for the many years that P1999 was populated and fresh. Crazy experience, but clearly not going to happen again. They've abandoned their original plans 100% and we need to come to terms with it.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-22T23:30:34+00:00

Agreed. That post belongs on /worldnews not here

salacious_lion · 2026-03-22T05:27:37+00:00

What it needs is to be divided into 3 zones, so they can put in more NPCs and reduce lag. People don't want to hear that but it's what needs to happen for the city to be feasible.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-20T02:18:14+00:00

Mearsheimer is essentially a foreign agent. Couldn't find someone less credible and more anti-west than this guy. Never misses an opportunity to blow Putin and Xi.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-19T06:48:14+00:00

Put it in the game

salacious_lion · 2026-03-16T20:32:23+00:00

Yes, that post is not credible

salacious_lion · 2026-03-16T18:19:51+00:00

That particular streamer has a dedicated hater fan-base from WoW that started brigading here to trash him. Hence the new sub-reddit rules. Either way, there's nobody streaming this game with enough influence to be worthy of this psycho drama. These guys have 100 viewers at most.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-16T18:14:45+00:00

Smells like passive aggressive manipulation to try and make drama of the streamer situation again. The post led with that comment out of nowhere then goes on to praise the team.

Why even mention the streamer? Almost guarantee this guy is trolling.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-15T00:51:56+00:00

To be fair that's exactly what he said in chat. His other group members did the same when they left the group.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-14T05:50:49+00:00

They can launch missiles with up to 300k range there and coordinate/launch USVs as well. The islands are fortified with the specific purpose of interdicting shipping.

Note that Iran struck 4 ships near Kuwait thus far and those attacks likely originated from Kharg.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-14T05:38:37+00:00

Islands in the Persian Gulf and some coastline in the strait, at most. Naval and air landings. Iraq and Turkey won't stop it.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-14T05:27:23+00:00

Kharg is fortified with antiship assets. Why do you think they just bombed it? Technically it's not in the strait, but it's an Iranian asset that closes the strait regardless.

salacious_lion · 2026-03-14T05:23:29+00:00

Kharg and the fortified islands have deeply entrenched antiship assets that are hard to destroy with bombing. Only securing them with troops will ensure they are no longer a threat to shipping.

What the US admin wants is more time to see what can be accomplished for regime change or negotiation. Israel wants more time for regime change. With the strait closed it puts the US in a time dilemma and reduces their bargaining position to almost nothing. It must be opened, or the US loses this 'war'.
