I mean they kinda of aren’t exactly against this …. Dems are basically keeping their heads low and letting trump do the dirty work but most of them are Zionist funded and support Israel. Only the progressive lot like Bernie have spoken out against bombing Iran. Really the Bernie camp are just too developed for the rest of the country.

I do agree, it’s image as a premier destination is hurt by this. I don’t think it will lead to the city becoming redundant or anything like that.

pathetic, they are completely unable to reign in Israel

I've always been against any sort of strikes on Iran. Trump said he set their nuclear program back by a decade the last time he bombed Iran with Israel. So I'm completely unsold on this and was even when the USA started getting involved. It's a ploy that authoritarians tend to try in order to try and drum up domestic support and test the powers of overstepping congress, but this is NOT Venezuela. We've already seen what Russian can do to a neighboring country by just launching missiles everyday at it. Imagine now this lasting for months with Iran launching shit at the Gulf and Israel everyday. Only way to stop that is boots on the ground which Trump hasn't ruled out. Iranian citizens have no power to overthrow their government and the regime is nothing but hardliners. I'm hearing some of the gulf countries only have days left of air defense.

Definitely a blow to the image of Dubai as a safe eclectic modern take on islamic rule in the middle east. In reality I doubt it will substantially run out all investment and development. I do think people will be a bit more sober about the place now.

Did Trump think this was gonna be like Venezuela or something? I don't see na offramp here and yeah, not sure regime change is imminent. Iran has a ton of those Shahed drones that cost like $35,000 to make and it costs like $500k+ to fire them down, plus air defense are difficult to replenish. The gulf states are getting pummeled. What a mess this is turning into.

I laughed To be honest I don't really care about this issue anymore. It's largely a problem for incels and red pill guys who are getting scammed by the influencers they look up to... if you haven't made the cut.. idk what to tell ya. Life doesn't guarantee you get a girl. I wish I was born a few inches taller and a little bit bigger, oh well... People are trying to understand men. I think they will ultimately realize this is a problem really only men have to solve because 1) women largely don't care, they are fine sharing men and most are fine being cat ladies, they hold the power and it's not something they are all that affected by 2) it is a problem largely created by men who refuse to adapt and instead would retreat into their twitch.tv lifestyle. I feel bad for a lot of guys who don't have a lifeline, I hope and wish the ones with softer hearts find the information they need to rise above all the self limiting lies and whatnot. Seems like most guys are are too black or red pilled at this point and I can't say it's as big a deal as it's made out to be... the world is already overcrowded... we will see.

Massive news. This is much bigger than when Assad was ousted by rebels. But also let the dust settle. Everyone wants to make their prediction but the truth is no one knows what will happen. As I understand Iran has a pretty nuanced line of succession (up to 4 backup plans) and their government has been designed and prepared for decades specifically for if this were to happen. Boots on the ground I think would be the only way to actually topple Iran's revolutionary guard and supreme leader. They're going to elect another one and continue their nuclear program.

Sure. By do your best I simply mean you need to check your belief system and see in what ways you are self sabotaging yourself. Do you believe you are worthy of success? Do you hold back because you second guess everything you do? Are you putting energy into what is important and not into what isn’t? What’s keeping you from just showing up every day and making clear and balanced decisions form the information you have in any given moment? I would say simply cutting out a lot of self sabotage, taking responsibility and getting clear on what you wish to put energy into will put you on the path that’s authentic for you. Few things in life are a linear path and much of what we do is a learning process, we weren’t born with an instruction manual for every possible situation and thing we will encounter in life. Success is defined by you , and when you have defined that put energy into what you know is right and true in the present moment that aligns with what you believe is success.

You have to align with the universe / reality and get very open to things unfolding as they are. There are a million influencer types all marketing to men more or less what you wanna do (help them with fitness, making quick cash, get girls, escaping the matrix, etc). Set your intentions and go with the flow without any instance or expectation for how things should turn out. Notice what you do throughout the day when you’re really in your flow. To be honest I’ve come to realize there are really no secrets when it comes to this. You set your intentions, put energy into what you want to and try your best to live as authentically as possible (middle way). Stay conscious and responsible. Things will unfold how they unfold.

Be careful with this label "narcissist." It categorizes other people according to your bias because you don't like how they treated you. this person probably did make some mistakes and had some emotional imbalances. that label though keeps you from seeing the bigger picture and puts you in a victim mindset where this other person is the bad guy and you are the victim. on top of that you may see them as a "narcissist" but what about the people who saw them as a saint? placing pathologies keeps you stuck in labeling and playing victim instead of recognizing the behavior you wont tolerate in your life and simply moving on with the information you have about how a person treated you, no labels needed.

LOL, this is not even comparable. Men are so delusional and lost.

I see your points, several of them are interesting. I think the one claim you make I’m skeptical of though is around the opportunity cost of it all. Creating a startup vs doing what you’re saying. The opportunity cost is huge either way. You’re basically telling him to become a software engineer, which is incredibly competitive now. And what do you think all those guys who got laid off are doing? Every corner of software has tremendous competition. I think if OP wants work that’s basically a means to an end to get ONLINE there’s easier skills you can learn to get working online quicker.

From my understanding this field is incredibly flooded and it’s actually a huge time sink for most. Basically AI wrappers, agents and software are the new .com bubble and most people are gonna be left holding the bag. You have a better chance of learning a trade and getting rich that way over anything to do with AI tech unless you are an elite level engineer + entrepreneur. If you’re willing to put 5-8+ years into this, and have tremendous passion for what you’re doing it could be worth it but most people are starving after 1-2 and move on. It’s really such an abstract idea that even most people I’ve met doing stuff like this can’t even clear explain what they’re doing and seem uncertain it will earn them money. ChatGPT itself doesn’t even make a profit.
