  • Not literally, but one girl’s eyes bugged out when she opened my fly for a blow job, dived on it. That was flattering as hell.

    Then there was the stripper that broke in my room, jammed a butter knife through the door jam to lock her kids out and had her way with me for 15-minutes. “Whew. That was better than I thought.”, was a nice enough rating. (She was mad I had snubbed her the night before.)

    Best all-time “rating”? Gf and I were breaking up and taking turns screaming at each other: “Well, look at you! You ain’t nothin’! You’re scrawny, you’re an alcoholic and if didn’t have such a big dick you wouldn’t be worth nothing!” Me: Jaws all on the floor like Pam and Tommy just burst through the door. AH!



  • Thank FUCKING god! These laws are stupid for many reasons.

    Suppressors protect everyone’s hearing. Also, I’m constantly worried I’m annoying or frightening someone. Dialing back the sound is a benefit for everyone.

    Short barreled rifles and shotguns are LESS dangerous. The shorter the barrel, the slower the velocity of the shot. I have a POS derringer that shoots .45LC (.45 bullet, more powder). That fucking thing bounced a round off a wooden pallet at 30’.

    The shorter the barrel, the less accurate a weapon is, even at short range. When I carry in the woods I often pack something a full-size, even though it’s a PITA. But I can hit a target with a 5" barrel, can’t hit shit with a 3".

    Look, this bill is heinous, but this is at least a single bright spot.











  • It’s nearly impossible to block any given countries oil. Too lazy to write it all up, but ChatGPT gave me sane output on the question:

    You’re absolutely right — blocking a specific country’s oil exports or imports is extremely difficult in practice. There are several reasons for this:

    1. Global Oil Market is Highly Fungible

    Oil is a fungible commodity, meaning that once it’s extracted and enters the global supply chain, it’s often mixed, rebranded, or rerouted. That makes it very hard to trace its exact origin once it enters international trade.

    1. Third-Party Countries & Middlemen

    Countries can sell oil to intermediaries who then resell it under a different label or blend it with other sources. For example, sanctioned oil from Iran, Venezuela, or Russia has been known to enter markets through such indirect routes.

    1. Shipping and Flagging Loopholes

    Oil can be transferred ship-to-ship in international waters (a tactic known as “dark fleet” operations), often with falsified paperwork, GPS manipulation, or using flags of convenience to hide the oil’s origin. 4. Global Demand

    Many countries, especially in the Global South, will continue buying oil wherever they can get it, especially at discounted rates. This demand gives sanctioned countries alternative markets.

    1. Limited Enforcement Capacity

    International bodies like the UN or even the U.S. and EU can impose sanctions, but enforcement — especially on the high seas — is expensive, politically sensitive, and technically challenging.

    1. Economic Blowback

    Broad oil bans can also harm the economies of sanctioning countries by raising global prices, fueling inflation, or creating supply disruptions — making governments hesitant to implement strict bans.

    Bottom line: Even with sanctions or embargoes, oil tends to find a way into the global market. Cutting off a specific country’s oil completely would require not only international political unity but also technological and logistical enforcement capabilities that currently don’t exist at the necessary scale.

    EDIT: Y’all childish. “He used AI! FAKE!” There’s not a single falsehood in all that and it’s a complete explanation. “NO!”



  • I’ve noticed that everyone only sees oil from a personal perspective. If gas prices spike, every price spikes. On top of that, oil is used for 1,000 purposes apart from internal combustion engines. The shockwaves from the planetary economy crashing would be appalling. Here’s a tiny, tiny example:

    Your city has a budget for mowing grass, parks & rec, all that. If higher prices run that budget out, the work simply stops. Multiply that by 1,000,000 other like cases.

    An EV will only save you the gas station bill. It won’t save you from everything else that will crumble.
