https://youtube.com/watch?v=LJHXds0N7AYI remember being aroused by seeing a bikini clad female, it's impossible not to be at that age, i didn't really get what the hell the weird power dynamics were all about but this was clearly meant to be shocking. If the troon threads have taught me anything it's that they almost all start with something that made them feel weird in childhood.

So did you find your BDSM goth queen yet or are you still thirsting over a children's cartoon?

I'm more concerned about how they went from "oh I felt funny things seeing this as a kid" to "oh it gave people a rape fetish."

One of these things is not like the other.

Yeah that’s certainly concerning.
The only rape fetish association I can think of is as a kid he immediately looked up the Zone Archive animated porn parody of that scene, but even then people with rape fetishes due to children’s media have serious problems

Dude, he had such a distinctive news anchor voice even if he was a partisan conservative douchebag under Rupert Murdoch's payroll. He's looked like he was 70 for basically my entire life that he was on Fox News. Seeing him this haggard? Sounding like a COPD patient who just got done with treatment? God damn that hits like a gut-punch. Here's to hoping he interviews Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J one last time before he kicks the bucket.

Yeah he always seemed old, but he actually was a young guy at some point with hair.

The big threat Iran has been swinging around was striking all of the gulf state refineries and paralyzing the world economy. That was their shield to prevent an attack, and it's failed. There's barely a blip on the global market, and that's with China turtling up and shutting down a lot of commodifies manufacturing in anticipation of losing their access to dirt cheap smuggled oil.

Was getting caught part of your plan?

The only thing that separated it from the base was a wall and there seems to be no way to get in without going through the base. Very easy to not update the target list and assume that nothing changed with that building when in actuality it's a school now.

We weren't targeting IRGC bases at the time, I don't think. If we were simply going after their military assets on day one, it wouldn't have taken us a week to decide to sink their Navy.

I'm amazed you guys don't get a rapey vibe from that scene because you're usually calling me naive about the lengths liberals go to incept ideas into people's heads. If you saw somebody doing that to your sister would you think "oh yeah i guess he's ripping her clothes off just to make his point that the world is going to end, bad but not THAT bad..." Do we really think that scene should have been in a show that 9 year olds watch?

We know that a huge percentage of kids who are molested grow up to be child molesters not because they enjoyed it but because the experience shocked them so much they were overloaded and couldn't process it, i don't think there's anybody on this site who disagrees with that, i'm pretty sure you guys taught me that actually.

To clarify what i'm talking about here:
>See scene as a kid, "oh girl in bikini I like that because even the pyramid tits in video games are enough to get my mind racing"
>"Huh that scene had kind of a weird tone, wonder what was that about"
>don't think about the show for 15 years
>learn, from kiwifarms, about the strong connection between adults who like cartoons and pedos and troons and such
>one of the last cartoons I watched was teen titans because i grew out of them in high school
>"huh, i bet that one scene caused a lot of those."

If that logic chain makes me suspect then izzat lost i guess

To be completely fair that scene almost certainly gave a huge chunk of our generation a rape fetish. Even I remember feeling some odd things during it but by the grace of god managed to pull through, at least I was 13 and had been jacking off by that point so i had some context. For younger kids it must have taken them completely off guard. Troons seem to really like this show as well. I still loved it.

Yeah. But you’ll get more money from Elon if you rage/doombait.

I’m seriously considering getting rid of Xitter. Half of it is third world AI shit and the other half is tired lukewarm takes. I could probably get more actual news from the MSM at this point.

Bearish on oil by mid-April.

EDIT: I should probably tell us about some inflation-adjusted oil prices so we don't act faggy about it:
$104 in today's dollars is:
  • Below the 1979 Iran crisis peak ($148 adjusted)
  • Below the 2008 spike ($186 adjusted)
  • Below the 2011 Libya spike ($145-150 adjusted)
  • Below the 2022 Russia-Ukraine spike ($130 adjusted)
  • Above the 1990 Gulf War spike ($90-95 adjusted)
  • Well above the 1973 embargo peak ($75-80 adjusted)
I'd be shocked it's that long. If you look at credit, that's budged:

HYG barely moved. It's 1.9% down from its 52 week high.
MOVE is 81.28. 80 is normal. 80-120 is moderate. During the COVID spike MOVE was 160, and 200 during the March 2023 crisis.
JUNK is down -1.3 points on trailing 3 month. Who cares.
LQD is -0.8 on trailing 3 month.
EMB is -0.5. Waow.
TLT went up 0.8. Who cares.

Volatility, sure, but so what? People have been donating PUT premium to market makers and hedgefaggots for months. The actual /VX structure is shrugging:

The curve is exaggerated. Note what happens if if I change the y axis:

1773013316807.png

It's pretty flat, actually.

The March futures contract expires in 9 days 3/17, where as April expires 4/14. VX futures are bid up by people who know what the fuck they are and generally know what they're doing, while VIX is computed from options with more than 23 days and less than 37 days to the Friday SPX expiration (that is, what people are fagging up SPX with buy buying PUTs).

tl;dr the big boys are shrugging and waiting, and they probably are literally Jews who know people.

Millennials and early zoomers are the troon generation. You're assuming there's a popular show or game from the late 90s and early 2000s that isn't popular with troons. That's simply the generation which grew up on those shows and games. The issue is usually things made by troons. Which is the tumblr era of tv or the 2010s. Which also brought us that pedophilic bullshit teen mom and 16 and pregnant on mtv and the calarts generation of tv where everything had the exact same art style.

To say that teen titans is rape fetish content because gooners who were all abused by their fathers made rape content of the show instead of that kids who are raped end up with fucked up thoughts is also pretty dumb.
