    What’s the relation with gay bar and domino’s? I know about the pizza meter of pentagon but enlighten me about the gay bar meter🫠

      Pizza thing is real. The gay bar is an very outdated joke.

      Gay bars are filled with nice sociable people that are 21 and older. But anyone who’s getting called in for a middle east situation are all creepy killers and nasty socially inept child rapists. It would make more sense to monitor the amount of open webcam viewership around elementary schools.

      I assume it means the pentagayn employees are hauled into the office for an urgent meeting.

      I.E. Less at the gay bar. More pizza deliveries

      Its part of the “Pentagon Pizza Index” Link (and yes I know they are sponsored by the “gamble on everything” companies these days)

      Its an unusual OSINT tool where you monitor the nearest pizza places near important buildings. If a cartoonishly large amount of pizza is getting delivered to the pentagon, that indicates that teams are pulling all-nighters. This also applies to companies like Valve and Microsoft that have know large known central offices.

      Monitoring the local bar scene has similar value, if the number of people there is different past historical data then its safe to assume something is going on.

        Well specifically the gay bar because of the large amount of right wingers installed recently and the relationship to large Republican presence and an uptick in grindr and gay related clubs and bars.

      Not the OP but I would assume this a reference to the fact that Grindr spikes when GOP gathers, ie GOP conference etc ergo the pleb politicians are not involved/havent been gathered to DC.

      I’m not sure what value it adds though, I can’t imagine Cheetolini seeking approval or briefing them before nuking Iran

        Actually thats just folklore. Recently someone posted the actual stats, there is no discernible spike in app use. No server crashing under the load of all those closeted gays. Sorry to break that bubble

            As a homosexual, please stop lumping toxic conservatives with us. We don’t want them. “Hahaha that’s gay” is a joke that needs to stay in the 90s.

              As a member of the LGBTQ community myself, I think it’s pretty funny.

              And it’s certainly not a “Hahaha that’s gay” joke. That’s missing the point

                That’s fine. But not everyone is okay with it. I can’t stop people from making jokes, but I feel what I feel. I don’t like the association that asshole conservatives can be ridiculed by saying they are closeted gays. I was in the closet for a long time and I hate that it’s a joke now. Coming out was a big deal for me and joking about conservatives being in that position makes light of my struggles.

                Again, laugh at what you want. I just don’t have to like it.

                  I fully agree with you, just as a prelude, and your feelings in that matter are of course valid. I just want to add that the reason people make fun of them for being gay is not that they are supposedly gay, but the fact that they are all wildly hypocritical, sanctimonious assholes who do decidedly never practice what they preach.

    Well you see. They have to escalate, and do it fast or admit they have lost. And these fucks Will never admit they lost. Even though america has lost almost every conflict since ww2. And they lost this one when they dropped the first bomb.

    escalation happens after the market closes on Friday, not right before it opens on Monday.
