The Houston Museum of Natural Science is a fantastic museum and I love visiting, but the entire top floor is basically propaganda for oil companies who made big donations. It’s under the guise of teaching about petroleum engineering, but it’s just so blatant and gross. If you go (which I highly recommend), skip the top floor
Confirmation bias. If they told them what they wanted to hear, they would have believed every word
That’s insanity. I can only imagine he doesn’t tell girls he tries to date all this up front, which is why they keep leaving him.
Did he write this or did you, based on your observations of him?
Strong incel vibes. Has your brother ever had a girlfriend before?

Costs compared to what? Loading up a ship on the Pacific coast and sending it around Indonesia and through the Suez canal and then unloading it in Europe and putting the cargo on trains there to the final destination?
This already exists and has demonstrated success, and does not pass through Russia or Iran. The Upper Corridor passed through Russia, but since the Ukraine invasion, much of it’s trade has moved to the Middle Corridor. Greece and Turkey don’t particularly like each other, but still have good trade relations and movement across their borders

Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me
As if Dunkin’ Donuts is representative of the thousands of independent coffee shops around the US…
It’s like you read the first sentence and then stopped
Plenty small restaurants have not seen price increases this stark over this period of time. Eat there instead.
The main driver of the “I’ll never be able to buy a house” narrative are mortgage interest rates, which are transient. When rates go back down, people will suddenly be able to afford many more options. But yeah, every now and then I look at how much house I could buy in Michigan…
