“I rather pay higher costs in gas as long as it means we’re safe!” What I hear on the daily. I’m wondering if the one’s saying that lived in fear every single day since 2003? Must be a stressful life
“I rather pay higher costs in gas as long as it means we’re safe!”
If you don’t live in one of the two biggest towers in NYC, you’re probably going to be fine.
As an Iranian, I have known this war is coming for 25 years. Iran has done everything in its power to avoid it, but unfortunately it’s only a real deterrence that is going to work to keep Iran safe. I’m sorry that makes your acquaintances fell unsafe.
Iran has done everything in its power to avoid it
Lmao
It has. I’m sorry that Western morons mistook Iran’s patience for weakness. Now the US in particular is going to learn a hard lesson.
It is my hope that in the near future there will be a peace based on mutual respect so that we can focus on the bigger issues for humanity (climate change in particular), but Iran will never bow do genocidal, colonial slave enterprises. It hasn’t done so in 7000 years and it certainly won’t start now. I do believe that the USA has all of the tools to rectify its course when it comes to colonialism and genocide and I’m rooting for Americans that are trying to take back their country.
Only on Lemmy you can find these fringe losers bending all backwards for theocratic dictators just because of underdog fallacy.
I’m Iranian. I’m opposed to theocracy, and for me and millions of other Iranians that’s not just a casual stance, it actually means you have to sacrifice some things. But I’ll also defend my country against foreign genocidal aggressors, and I won’t apologize for it.
I bet you have zero conception of what life in Iran is actually like so I don’t see much point in discussing the good and bad of the Iranian government. I’ll say this though: the depiction of Iran as a dictatorship is not only incorrect, it’s also a major driver of the failed policies of the West in dealing with Iran. Even if Iran is your enemy, it’s good to understand your enemy, and you don’t.
It doesn’t matter what life in Iran is - Iranian regime is straight up evil and under no circumstances to be defended in any way shape or form. Doesn’t mean US isn’t wrong just that two wrongs don’t make a right.
How did you come to the conclusion hat the Iranian “regime” is evil?
Electric vehicle and solar panel enjoyers:
Unfortunately, gasoline woes will ripple through nearly every commodity or grocery that you partake in. If you’re truly off grid, it probably won’t do much. But as long as you shop from grocery stores or buy things period, you’re gonna feel it a little. Not as much as a gas-guzzler, but you’ll feel it.
I mean I’m just piss posting and I’m deeply concerned for how it is going to impact my community, which is extremely impoverished and working class, and often have super long commutes.

It’s not just gas. Any plastic.
My job is already seeing disposable gloves explode in price
Yeah a friend of mine was shocked when she asked me about my position on data centers and I basically told her IDGAF. I then had to remind her that I have a 21KW solar array and 45kwh of battery storage. My carbon usage is net negative.
Remember all the “I did that” stickers? Yeah… those assholes are oddly quiet now.
There’s “iRAN up your gas!” Stickers being sold now, and I’m REALLY TEMPTED.
Hahaha, I like this one because it’s also the picture of him pointing and staring directly at an eclipse like the big’ol dumbass he is.
Be sure to buy paper stickers. It cracks me up seeing one with a finger picked corner from some guy trying to take it off.
LOL. Quite mischievous. Although I feel the poor sucker having to remove them would probably end up being another working class person, as funny as it is to imagine someone scratching vainly with rage at a sticker ridiculing their Dear Flawless Leader. 😂
The same ones who harassed and terrorized drag queens for being groomers, they’re outside the white house protesting the orange turd for and his cronies for being kid-diddlers right…right?
drag queens
All because of one low IQ pedo and the members of Congress and the public that support that pedo.
I don’t feel sorry for Americans. You voted this orange turd in. While the rest of the world suffers as well
To be clearly, only about a 1/3rd of us voted for him. And realistically, of the registered voters, only a small percentage can actually influence the outcome by way of being in “swing states”.
But yah, I’m pretty fucking pissed at pensilvanians who wrote in Mickey Mouse because they thought it was funny.
I’m personally not that upset about gas prices going up as I can not afford a car anyways.
You clearly don’t understand how fucked up voting in “the cradle of democracy is.” The American government and the rich will do anything and everything in their power to disenfranchise voters. Just do a little deep dive into how fucking stupid our electoral procedures are and what they are designed to do.
This is why slim shady is driving that Miata now
I get this is a joke. But Miatas are surprisingly inefficient, given their low weight and displacement. You’re better off with a Civic, Corolla, Elantra, etc. Miatas are more about smiles per gallon.
And chicks dig em so it’s also smiles per gal
Stop. Fucking. Driving. Everywhere.
like work?
If you think I’m selling licenses, then that is my business. Baby.
Its just to hasten transition to electric vehicles. 8D chess
I hope it backfires and increases gen z and alpha support for building out public transit. Viable Metro systems in every US city, commuter rail across all 50 states and national high-speed rail system. If we have those things, who cares how much gas costs
K but somehow seems less important than the fact that Donald Trump raped and trafficked children and the Republican Party is protecting him.
With that said, sucks it’s going to cost so much to light him on fire after dumping gasoline on him, but it’s worth it. Think of the children.
You meant “more important”, right?
No? I think the fact a child rapist has been allowed to be President is of greater concern than rising gas prices. That between the two gas prices are less important than the fact the child rapist hasn’t been excised from office and preferably killed in such a way as to set an example to the rest of the Epstein Class.
Unless I fucked up that sentiment somehow in my previous post?
Ah, yes. Then yes, you did. Explanation tracks with your sentiment, but @[email protected] 's correction is what you want. Fully written out text you can spot which part of the comparison you took by mistake: somehow the gas prices seem more important news, while they should be less important than the child raping.
I would say that’s lights out for Republicans in the midterm elections, but we are well into full irrationality in this country at this point.
unlikely, they plan to steal it . as the voting rights act just been gutted, lousiania already went foward at suspended some elections so they can purge voters, likewise with other gop states doing the same if ont already, remember KEMP he purged voter rolls just before being elected himself. THE DNC gambled for no ROI for ending all these shutdowns early and trying to attack zohran so early on.
at this point they dont even need to use ICE to intimidate people at purple areas, ICE is just there for propaganda for fox.
