Anyone who posts shit like ‘omg muh Zion Don’ is a faggot. Not like a 4chan OP type faggot but like an actual ‘I wear a butt plug all day’ faggot.
This is also true for anyone who seriously uses the word 'goy' in a post.
That is the kind of face that says "I don't know if I should donate my rent money to the Sanders campaign or to the fight against sexism in gaming."
 
I'm reading that about 55% of the U.S. group 3 oil supply is now offline. Bapco, Adnoc and Pearl. Another ~30-35% is getting squeezed for fuel production over base oil. With S-Oil and SK.
Can you explain, aside from significantly higher lubricant prices/lower availability, what's the impact of this?

My naive Google/Gemini queries simple say higher prices more generally for associated secondary hydrocarbon products, like plastics and fertilizers.

You said it: more expensive motor oil 😁
I have at least a years worth already so maybe I can make a couple bucks selling quarts.
 
that would be true except it was claimed iran had zero ability to fight back and yet they can strike our aircraft and also aircraft we send to rescue pilots from that downed aircraft. if you wanted to say we have superiority but its far from safe to fly over iran and it would be a long and difficult invasion that would be more accurate than this nonsense that its all basically over. saying we can fight this war solely from the air because of air superiority implies more so that we can viably remove irans control of itself and the wider region solely from the air which clearly isnt the case since theyre still downing our craft after the timeframe iraqi forces had folded completely iirc.

Again, you're a fucking retard. Don't take the Zion Don's word at face value, yes. But to that end, air superiority was demonstrably achieved. Have you seen how much Iran's own missile stocks have plummeted in the intervening weeks since the war began? It's a far cry from where they were at the beginning of March.

oh my bad guess its hopeless and i gotta just cheer on this bullshit war getting americans and iranians killed for no reason.

I certainly won't celebrate any American casualties, nor would I cheer on any casualties of Iranian civilians. That said, pivot over to the Iran War happenings thread and look at who the brunt of the casualties are: they're IRGC operatives, Iranian military combatants, along those lines. Jesus Christ, you're acting like we're on the ground re-enacting Abu Ghraib and Bagram Theatre all over again.

Industral lubricants are about to have to shift towards synthetics. GP 3 are about as good as you can get before going full synthetic(PAO base) for base oils in lubricants. Expect full synthetics in everything soon. I'm happy to talk about lubes(Industral, not the ones your mom uses).
 
Crisis in space as Artemis II toilet breaks leaving astronauts with no other options

The toilet on board the Artemis II spacecraft has reportedly broken down again, leaving the four astronauts on board with no working bathroom on their return to Earth.

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen will reportedly now have to switch to a diaper-like alternative for the remainder of the trip back to Earth.

Hey retard: AIR SUPERIORITY DOES NOT MAKE US INVINCIBLE, NOR DOES IT PRECLUDE OUR OWN AIRCRAFT BEING DOWNED
Good luck explaining Air Superiority vs Air Supremacy.

Don't you think I want us to get the fuck out in the first place? Guess what: that ain't happening in our lifetimes any time soon. The curse of being an American in the 21st century is being trapped in the Dar al-Islam thanks to the holdovers of Cold War geopolitics and alliances hamstringing us. Believe me, I am very much a "get the fuck out and mind our own business" kinda guy... but I ain't the POTUS, neither are you, and damn sure ain't anyone else in this thread. This is the best we got, and whinging about it won't get you anywhere.
Disagree with you, have a feeling that this is the big one and that the US will shift focus to INDOPACOM, partially withdrawing to concentrate resources. My logic in short:

If Iran is taken out, all major players are friendly with the US. The major powers will be GCC/Turkey/Israel and all have some form of relations and an interest in keeping things stable. GCC/Israel are aligned now and Turkey/Israel aren't friendly but are closer than people think. Trump knocked out Venezuela which was one of China's "gas stations" and presumably will knock out Iran which is the remaining "gas station" for China. Taiwan invasion is theorized to happen in 2027 and the rest of 2026/part of 2027 will be spent on rearming INDOPACOM. Why else would Trump be so comfortable moving major resources from INDOPACOM to CENTCOM unless he knows China will not take advantage?

I'm only giving you the rainbow sticker right now because I'm Doubting Thomas insofar as the USA ever getting the hell out of the Middle East. I need to see it to believe it. If it actually happens, and it turns out that you were 100% correct, I'll actually fly out to Israel to kiss the wall. I'll even get the Israeli stamp on my passport. Scout's honour. Screenshot this to hold me accountable if you must.
 
Indian H-4 visa holder describes a scheme to pay zero federal income tax by falsely reporting losses on rental properties. Despite being incredibly illegal, this is extremely common amongst H-1Bs.

Are you kidding me? Desi niggas, not just Indians but also Pakis and Banglas, absolutely can and will file sham paperwork and commit fraud to get ahead. If you were even remotely literate in Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, or $insert_Indic_language_here, and you picked up one of those diaspora newspapers written in a foreign language, you'll see advertisements all over the place for this shit happening. Believe me, Desi niggas love mocking anyone trying to do shit the right way (or in their parlance, like a white man).

as much as i hate federal income tax i wonder if it's possible to report this stinkrat indian to the IRS

You have to know that person directly, like actually know them within 2-3 degrees of separation such that you know their dox and they somehow trust you to not snitch. Unless the jeet in question is a fucking retard with their digital hygiene, and they just dox themselves carelessly on social media. In which case, go for it. A fun game of mine is literally reporting sham marriages I know for a fact are happening to USCIS. It's certainly fun overhearing conversations where there's now a hold or a rejection on the paperwork when before everything was basically on track.

US will never leave the Middle East, CENTCOM is too critical due to oil. That's why I used the terms partially withdrawing and shifting focus. Think about how INDOPACOM is being constantly drawn from to the point where it's a meme that INDOPACOM gives away their resources to CENTCOM. It'll be that situation.

I want to arrange marriages between Pajeets and hood Negresses. Why? Because it’s hilarious.

Y'know what's even more hilarious? Jeets marrying fat white hicks specifically to get that green card. Ain't nothing funnier than watching a grown man talk sweet nothings to a retarded fat white chick he'll end up divorcing like 5 years down the line after getting his green card, citizenship, or whatever it is he's working toward. Unless the jeet in question has jungle fever, or they're in the Caribbean and intermarriage is de facto impossible (re: Guyana, Trinidad), marrying a hood negress is basically a death sentence in jeet cultures. That's like the #1 way to get yourself disinherited from all your shit in the motherland.
