Oh. My. God.

When he’s not that into you

It’s very funny to see Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines complain about China, given that China’s not the one that had a boot on their necks for the last 80 years.

Because I need oxygen to live and they’re the ones selling it.

I immediately crapped myself and fainted when I read this

It is very funny to see a man who is going to be lined up against the wall under the current administration defend it so adamantly.

Before you laugh to hard at the Spaceballs, consider that they did very nearly asphyxiate an entire planet.

That’s not so bad. She’s coded as “bossy”, not “kid sister”

Guaranteed every single one of these freaks tried to hook up with Futaba Sakura exclusively.

The planting season is happening right now

Which means the planting supplies were lined up months ago. This will be a next-year thing if it cannot be corrected for in time.

The LNG plants are going to take years to repair

One section of one country’s exports in a global economy. And that’s ignoring the fact that the Straight isn’t shut down for everyone. The IRGC is negotiating passage for a bunch of unaligned states. Pakistan is going to get their fertilizer. China and Russia will get their supplies. Italy and Spain will be fine. It’s the US-Israel block that’s in trouble. And given how much fertilizer the US produces domestically, not even that much trouble.

However, some developing countries will have genuine shortages.

The biggest threat to developing countries is western intervention. The famines happening along the Horn of Africa are the direct result of US, Israeli, and Qatari backed military interventions.

There’s almost certainly going to be a farming crisis

Over a long enough timeline, sure.

We’ve already seen egg prices skyrocket thanks to bird flu and beef production sag due to drought and Texas Cattle Fever. I have no doubt we’ll continue to see agricultural productivity drag as ecological conditions worsen.

But the fixation on the Straight of Hormuz as a but-for cause to a global agricultural crash jumps the gun for a host of reasons. The most notable of which is that we heavily overproduce agricultural goods and end up subsidizing their wholesale prices. The biggest problems populations have with famine in the modern era is of storage, distribution, and financialization, not raw productivity. A hiccup in the supply of nitrogen rich fertilizer isn’t going to empty anyone’s shelves.

Just looks like a click farming site that targets left-libertarians.

She stands in a supermarket aisle, looking at the price of baby formula.

A notification flashes on her phone. Headlines about Trump. Iran. Threats. Escalation. She reads it quickly, almost without thinking.

Then she looks back at the shelf.

Her mind starts connecting things.

The purpose of an HOA (in theory) is to divide the costs of land maintenance across land owners.

In practice, HOAs are routinely abused for rent seeking and stigmatization of minorities. But that’s not a problem specific to the legal arrangement. It’s a consequence of the managers and members.

Check out the HBO show “Neighbors”. A great look into the mind of a land owner.

Your land has effects on you’re neighbors’ land.

Anyone who has had a big tree stretching across the property line can tell you this.

When you’re in an HOA, you’ve contracted away some of your rights to property.

But that’s the devil’s game of “property rights”. So many people think they’ve gained sovereignty because money changed hands. They don’t ask how property originates and why it was up for sale to begin with.

A bit more complicated than that. But, yes. They did a mass implementation of a technology they didn’t understand and then bungled it’s use.

Glances at AI

I’m sure nobody will make that mistake again.

Idk, did they list their pronouns or open the briefing with a reading from Marcus Aurelius?
