That pretty accurately describes my experience with progesterone, yeah.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Saudi Arabia learned its lesson in the Yom Kippur War. Do not fuck with the USs unsinkable aircraft carrier.
As for Egypt, Israel is extremely important for transporting natural gas and, to a lesser extent, important as a trading partner. They also cooperate on security matters wrt terrorism.
Of course, the US is also very important for ensuring all its other puppets in the region play nice with Israel. Israel, itself, has influence because it is an extension of the US and more important than any mere puppet.
Israel isn’t the only reason OPEC has been brought to heel, but it was the last time OPEC ever used an oil embargo afaik
The spice must flow.
The presence of a Sword of Domacles hanging over the heads of every country in the region does have political uses, not just military ones.
An unsinkable aircraft carrier is a destabilizing force, what are you talking about?
Israel was critical for disempowering OPEC in the Yom Kippur War. We would not have gotten where we are today, with OPEC firmly under control, without Israel’s critical role in the conflict.
The bipartisan consensus on Israel is ironclad, elections don’t matter nearly as much as Israel does to the US empire.
I do no expect anything to change unless Israel, itself, enters a crisis that would require direct boots the ground. That might be the breaking point. Otherwise? Unlimited US/NATO bloc support.
Israel isn’t the only tool they need to control the likes of Egypt and Saudi Arabia - they need direct support too, especially Egypt, which would probably be controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood without US support. But, Israel is still critical as part of the broader strategy.
Saudi Arabia actually had consequences after the assassination of Jamal Koshogshi. Minor ones, but still.
Israel will never have consequences. It is just vastly more important - in fact, Israel is a tool to control Egypt and Saudi Arabia in the first place!
Saudi Arabia is kept in line by Israel’s presence in the region. OPEC was once a thorn in the US’s side and now they’re under control, and Israel was key for that.
Ukraine is a proxy war against Russia.
Supporting Israel is the point, it’s not a proxy.
They need Israel to control North Africa, the Arab Peninsula, and much of West Asia. They need Israel to control the movement of goods and people from Africa into Asia and Europe. They need Israel to control the Red Sea and help project power into the lower Mediterranean. They need Israel as their laboratory for surveillance technology and oppressive systems of control. Israel is the unsinkable aircraft carrier, the most valuable asset the US has. Israel is more important than most US states tbh
Conditions have gotten worse and the ruling class has chosen a scapegoat to distract people from the ongoing class war.
And every member of the IOF “just following orders” to carry out the war crimes.
Your tax dollars at work.
And when the vaccination campaign fails, Israel will blame the Palestinians for not getting vaccinated.
Democrats are already sacrificing climate targets, asylum seekers, and Palestinians. Yet another sacrifice on the pyre?
At some point you’re just voting for Republicans.
Equality of et al - how about no one gets their names inserted into the paper, everyone is just put in the bibliography. No “first authors.” Instead, the institution gets the reference i.e. instead of (Miller et al 2005) it can be (Cornell U. et al 2005). Then, because it’s digital, mouse over the reference for a full list of people involved.
Solves the problem of worthless administration slapping their personal name on it.
It’s not like these are written on literal paper. It’s the 21st century, There’s no reason to save space in digital documents when you can just format them differently.
This is why workers forced movies and shows to put everyone in the closing credits.
Y’all need to unionize.
Eventually they’ll both think a little more deeply about why they “”“pretended”“” to be girls online. 🤔 😊
Isn’t that just a hotel room?
