Welp, it's official. This is the highest gas price I've paid in my life, $4.17/gallon. Sure glad I got that 57% raise! /s

Probably worth it to prevent a terroristic regime from developing nuclear weapons, wouldn’t you say?

likefunny

And hey kids, here’s Exhibit B which is also a great example of a false dichotomy!

Some pretty dumb responses above. Have you seen any evidence that the terrorist regime was close to developing nuclear weapons, especially after we “completely and totally obliterated” their program in June 2025? The same sites we bombed and have under constant satellite surveillance so we’d know if they make a move for the buried material. Hegseth talked about their “ambition” but that isn’t the same as a nuclear imminent threat. This was poorly planned from the beginning, with goals that have changed from regime change to opening the strait (which was open before) to ensuring that Iran doesn’t get a nuke (which the JCPOA still gave a platform to negotiate from). The enrichment of nuclear material happened AFTER Trump withdrew from the JCPOA.

No one I know was worried that Iran would lob a nuke in the 2020s - including the first Trump administration that tore up the JCPOA. But almost everyone I know is worried about the cost of living, which has soared since 2020.

Lmaooooo, they’ve been saying Iran is this 🤏 close to having nuclear weapons for like 30+ years now.

Is there any realistic way where tipping in the US goes away and we start to be like other countries (e.g. Europe/Asia)? Raise the price of the food, pay servers a fair wage, no tips? Just a dream 😅

I'm guessing no because businesses will fight hard against this (customers subsidize wages) and certain servers benefit from tipping as well.

Only other thing I can think of is if everyone collectively decides not to ever tip again and it forces business to change. Won't happen though.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
