I wasn’t when I was forced into this body.

I certainly mind having the body I got.

The numbers seem backwards. /j

My parents aren’t supportive of me being trans (one of my moms has makes similar complaints about sports), but they not to push me away. So I still share such with them. Otoh, the person who birthed us has never really been a major part of our lives and we all have cut off contact with her, but since contact with her was limited even as children, she was never that person whom I’d really want to share stuff with anyways (ironically, the only thing I’m sorta interested in seeing how she’d feel if she found out I was trans). It’d be rough not having my parents to tell things too because they didn’t want to be around me. Otoh, they’ll probably die before me, so the lack of being able to talk to them is something most people eventually deal with. I have my brother and my friend who would be the closest replacement (being people I already share those wins with).

The claim is about apple maps though:

Dibbin also shows up for me, but yeah. Seems like apple is missing a lot of cities and when you click on a location it just says “Southern Governate” where it otherwise would have a city name.

Not in my experience. Men behave as if their contribution is either working a job to earn money for the family and/or drinking/physical violence.

The US oil reserves were not filled, as they insanely believed that this would be a short war. These are set to run out soon.

At least according to the DOE, they’ve basically not touched the reserves as of the (start?) of April. That’s just the reserves of the US itself though, and I have no clue how much the IEA has released out of the planned 400million barrels. Also, given how long it takes for shipments to get from hormuz to the US (about a month or more?), its possible that there was no reason to actually use it yet in March. Perhaps by May we’ll have significantly drained it.

Kit looks more she/her than the OG icon.

NBs don’t have to be androgynous.

Pretty much. She presented as a guy and typically gendered as a guy, both in-person and over the phone, and I’ve never seen her ever correct someone on that.

I’d guess they use ~100 per day? But it can scale up to 10+ per missiles depending on the target being defended. And they sometimes might just fire randomly for seemingly no reason due to using old radar systems. Given they likely will be spread throughout a pretty large region, so the increase in the area of any given target could easily be exhausted in a day without having to increase the rate of attacks.

If its past the statute of limitation, it doesn’t matter. Especially if paired with good opsec. Would just waste anyone’s time trying to look into this to try to prosecute this and prevent them from doing anything worse/better with their time. Unless they are looking for evidence of that crime and accidentally come across actual evidence of a prosecutable crime.

Yep look at dated brent

WTI midland physical deliveries even more highly priced (at least in europe). Is WTI vs Brent premium related to sour/sweet/heavy/light differences of other logistics that mean they could get the WTI slight faster?

U.S. WTI Midland crude delivered to Europe traded at a $20.70 premium to dated Brent on Wednesday, also the highest ever.

The most absurd I’ve heard someone else say IRL is things like “I’d transition the other way” and “I want to take T” from someone who essentially socially transitioned as a teen and still hasn’t realized it in their 60’s.

Well, the market will efficiently handle that too. We’ll use grain that was going to feed cows and just feed people instead just let people starve.

Not sure how bad the sulfur shocks will be, but that’s also used for making a lot of metals like copper. There’s also the aluminum that was disrupted and most smelting still uses fossil fuels AFAIK.

10-15% drop in prices after 2 ships go through based on a flimsy ceasefire is impressive. I supposed the “rational market” explanation would be people didn’t think USrael/Iran would even be willing go to a negotiation table for a while, so them taking steps in that direction mean they were overestimating the constraint this war would have? As far as shortages, price go up until some people are priced out of it and that’s efficient markets! Surely it’ll be just wasteful processes, like luxury products and AI, and not things like people’s heating to get through Winter that the S. hemisphere is about to enter…

Don’t you know language is just a social construct. Its not real. /s

I guess my bigger issue is I wouldn’t believe the US would give serious orders: if they said anything, it would just be part of the political theater to get the most out of the supposed ceasefire.

Unless he tells them with JASSMs, I don’t think it would mean much other than pretending to try to rein them in to keep Iran waiting. Given what is already rumored, even just telling them to back down is unlikely.

I regularly complain someone should turn it off or at least dim in.

Also, “the ceasefire is the US buying time to restock their interceptors” and “the US will perfidiously break the ceasefire” are at odds with one another

If Iranian leaders who were hiding in bunkers go out more publicly, there certainly could be perfidious decapitation strikes towards the end of the ceasefire. Agreed about 2-weeks being too short for the US to do much meaningful. Like, they could move stuff around within the region, I guess. If Iran doesn’t take the US looting their own evacuated bases as a breach of the ceasefire, maybe they have some things of some value there or just bomb what little remains to prevent it from being taken?

“Israel” trying to use the time to kill people in Lebanon is a legit, so hopefully they’re don’t have too much patience for that…
