    Explain to me in 4 sentences or less why gas prices have suddenly tanked recently. I filled up my tank at $2.17/gallon yesterday. When I drove past the same gas station later that day, they'd already bumped it down to $2.15/gallon. I haven't seen gas prices this low since I was a youthful preteen. "The rising price of gas!!1" has been a ubiquitous political clarion call the entire time I've been conscious of politics at all. What happened yo?

    @Hakkekage‌

    hmm ok

    At the end of summer the global economy started to show signs of slowdown, with a glut of oil supply due in a large part to increased domestic US oil production. OPEC (the "middle east" to most people) makes up about 1/3 global oil production. In a meeting over Thanksgiving, OPEC declined to cut production to reduce supply and bolster prices. Markets subsequently lost their shit and oil has gone in the tank.

    It's wonderful but i think we can go deeper

    How about $1.89/gallon!

    I believe in you, America.

    Best guess I've seen is that OPEC (who produces oil very cheaply) is trying to drive the competition from Shale Gas in North America (which is very expensive to produce) out of business. They're still making fuck-tons of money, though.

    This Economist article doesn't ascribe deliberate intent to OPEC, but I can see that

    http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/12/15/Review-Dragon-Age-Inquisition
    2011's Dragon Age II unexpectedly bombed with consumers, despite, of course, the rave reviews from mainstream game news sites, who need only get a whiff of a paraplegic lesbian in an ill-fated love affair with a black transsexual to award a game full marks. Mass Effect 2 wasn't a critical success with ordinary gamers either; they called it "filler" and said it was "uninspiring." It, too, bored players with politics.
    Unless... well, unless it's the lesbians, by which I mean the "alternative lifestyles" BioWare insists on thumping us around the head with. Ah, those hot, hot lesbians. They would be even hotter if BioWare's artwork wasn't so appallingly inconsistent throughout Dragon Age: Inquisition, of course, which is of course the only reason I raise the subject.

    I like how even at the end the review gives the game an 8.8

    Admittedly, I don't read reviews really, so I don't know if that is a failing score, but to me that reads like an 88%, which is reasonably good.

    Like, even at the end, they couldn't just sack up and put like 0.

    This is an amazing piece of...something.

    I think I'm a p good SJW.

    Told a guy the other day to watch his language when he said something along the lines of "Only fags like that."

    He started to argue til I pointed out he had no idea who in the room was gay to include the many people who outranked him.

    Which admittedly isn't the best lesson to take home but it'll probably get him to shut up for the foreseeable future.

    Or is SJW just used to mean "People I don't like"?

    russia

    more accurately, Saudi Arabia is trying to crush US and Russian production because they have lower operating expenses.

    More more accurately, it's actually about decreasing profit margins to provide disincentives for future investments in energy production within the US. As creating the infrastructure for natural gas (the predominant thing they are fighting) takes time, accepting lower profits now extends profits later.

    The fact that it's a fuck you to Russia for assisting in the destabilization of the Middle East is icing on the cake.

    Economies are generally healthier than they were in 2007/2008. Hopefully cheap energy will spur economic growth along, and then it will be a self-correcting problem.
