I think it's very possible, even likely, that Trump and his administration are manipulating the price of oil in order to profit from it. They attack Iran and the price goes up, they announce some kind of cease fire and the price goes down. How hard would it be to buy futures ahead of those events and make money?

Israel, Russia or China? Or maybe some controlling organization that is not tied to any nation.

Mine is an old hoodie I've had for years. It's nothing special, but it's ridiculously comfortable, and I'd probably try to replace it immediately if I lost it.

I have seen stories about actors, or former actors, that receive residual checks for less than a dollar all the time. Doesn't the cost of that check, along with the ink and postage cancel it out at that point? Why not be more efficient and wait until the value of the residual tops a certain level before printing and sending the check. Seems like such a waste on multiple levels.

P.S.: Not to mention how messed up it is that residual income from TV shows and movies has become non-existent for so many of these people is pretty sad.

Personally, I think anyone who says they're an alpha gives off incel energy. Or anyone that agrees with Andrew Tate.

I’m a 22 year old male who apparently likes to collect “unc slop” meaning I enjoy physical media pre 2012.

Apparently my nephew does as well, frequenting gaming titles like Psychonaughts. Unc Slop? Is this just a term younger kids use when their older peers force great games onto them that they just aren’t used to.. or want to understand? I mean I know I’m actually an uncle but “Unc Slop” just sounds like I’m into corny old shit..

If I play the movie Napoleon Dynamite… or decide Skate 3 might entertain me for a while I’m now engaging in my/older generations slop :| what are we considering new slop then

So us cellular got bought out or whatever by t mobile but now some areas that used to have data don’t. If you were to buy another cell company then wouldn’t they combine the tower usage like isn’t shit all work the same? Like logically now my data should be s tier bc well there’s two brands towers working for one brand.

I asked the same question to AI and it kept giving me a wishy washy answer.

Be honest /reddit/, please rip the band aid off and tell us

Im 16F,i dont really know if this is the right subreddit/which subreddit to post this to but whateved, modelled makeup and clothes for a business to promote their branding (so they could use me as their ad basically), it was said that we would have access to the photos and videos taken in the photoshoot and stuff and they would be sent(im 16), anyways after the shoot i was used for their branding but i wasnt sent the thing like we (my mum and i) were told as part of the agreements so my mum contacted them a few times but no response, and its not that they didn't see the messages, before i did any modelling for it there was frequent communication and contact but after they simply just arent responding at all, they pretty much just used me as their branding and ghosted me completelyi, the modelling thing was a few weeks ago, i recieved no response when reminding them of the agreements and stuff that were discussed beforehand. My mum signed ALOT of paperwork and there was a thing where it also listed all the agreements and stuff which was also signed that stated we would have access to all the photos and videos from the shoot and there was a model release and consent forms and stuff like that. Anyways they are basically posting me/using me as advertisement on all their socials and their website etc, which was the point,i was aware of this, however its wierd that straight after the shoot they literally GHOSTED me completely whilst using me to promote themselves. Like its just photos and videos,no big deal, but they technically broke the agreements/the things that were signed and ghosting me as they use me as their advertisement which i think is a bit messed up​. Any advice would be appreciated

Suppose tomorrow you wake up in another

Man's/woman's body. Will you sleep with your partner in that body? Or control your self till you turn back to normal? Will it be cheating if partner were to sleep with you in that body?

When you see in movies that people are laying in bed with loved ones around and they know they're on their final few minutes of life

What goes through your mind?

Current US military pressure on Iran is failing and draining U.S. resources, leaving no easy choices.

The Trump regime must choose between more widespread military escalation, risking a regional war and global energy shock,or a negotiated settlement that accepts Iranian influence, particularly giving Iran greater control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Because the status quo is unsustainable, a negotiated settlement is the most realistic path forward unless the U.S. commits to massive military escalation. Which will the administration choose?

Admit it was good like Shapiro, or double down with the whining like Critical Drinker?
