Iran’s decline is driven by its theocratic regime, where incompetent leadership enforces oppressive laws. Women face jail for not wearing mandatory hijabs, a symbol of the regime’s rigid control. This, alongside economic mismanagement, has left Iran globally dismissed and isolated.
Turkey, by contrast, commands respect from the EU due to its secular framework. In Istanbul, women enjoy EU-like freedoms, dressing freely and living without religious mandates. This separation of church and state bolsters Turkey’s stability and influence, allowing leaders like Erdogan to wield significant power while maintaining international credibility.
Iran’s failure to modernize explains its irrelevance, while Turkey’s pragmatic governance elevates its global standing.
Every phone, app, browser, and smart device feeds data into corporate and government surveillance systems. Even "private" modes aren’t private. Most people have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. 2. Food Is Engineered to Keep You Addicted and Sick
Ultra-processed foods are intentionally designed to bypass your satiety signals and create repeat customers. The rise in obesity, diabetes, and chronic illness isn't just a coincidence—it's a business model. 3. The Internet Is Being Sanitized and Controlled
What you see online is increasingly filtered by algorithms that are tuned for engagement, not truth. Shadowbanning, content suppression, and narrative shaping are real and quietly normalized. 4. Money Is Created Out of Thin Air
Banks don’t just “store” money—they create it through debt. Every time a loan is issued, money is literally fabricated. Most people still believe there’s some vault somewhere with real cash. There isn’t. 5. Modern Medicine Often Treats Symptoms, Not Causes
The healthcare system is largely reactive, not preventive. Pharmaceutical lobbying has more influence on what treatments are promoted than actual patient outcomes. Root causes like diet, environment, and stress are under-addressed. 6. Most History Taught in Schools Is Sanitized or Incomplete
Textbooks often reflect the politics of those in power, not the full truth. From colonialism to covert operations, much of modern geopolitics is built on omitted or distorted history. 7. The Digital Divide Is Widening
AI, automation, and digital infrastructure are growing faster than society is adapting. Those without access to these tools or skills will be left economically and politically voiceless. 8. Space Isn’t as Far Away as You Think
The Kármán line—the accepted edge of space—is only about 62 miles (100 km) up. We live on a thin crust of atmosphere that’s terrifyingly fragile, yet we treat it like a garbage bin. 9. Synthetic Biology and Gene Editing Are Advancing Quietly
CRISPR, mRNA tech, and gene drives are progressing fast—much faster than regulation or ethical discussion. We're rewriting life, and most people don’t even know what’s being tested. 10. Economic Collapse Is Always Closer Than It Looks
Every economy runs on confidence. Once that cracks—whether from debt, war, banking instability, or black swan events—the illusion of stability vanishes fast. Think 2008, but faster and more global.
Unreal. I hope Eric Adams can beat this guy. The Republican alternative is almost as bad. I would take Adams over all of these clowns--including scumbag Cuomo, athough if forced to, I would take Cuomo over Sliwa (R) or Mamdani. Adams has actually righted some of the wrongs of Commie Bill DiBlasio (Werner Wilhelm).
I am a Field Engineer for a semiconductor company in Oregon. I work graveyard shift for 15% more pay, which makes a huge difference to my income.
Most nights we take a 3 hour lunch. Sometimes, if there is nothing to do, I can have a multitude of hours of boredom.
I want to start using my time more wisely rather than relaxing doing nothing. I already started up going back to college because my company reimbursement for tuition is a sweet deal so it's essentially a free ride but just want to do online courses to get my AA then transfer. In person is pretty awful now with all these woke faggots.
But I want to come up with a business plan possibly, create a company, maybe write a movie as I've always wanted to be a director but that may not be an option with where AI is going.
I just have so much free time during some breaks that I want to earn extra income or ultimately have a business to no longer work for someone else but be self employed.
I expect the usual comments that you all will deliver, ready to laugh at the responses but hopefully have some good insight.
Apart of the tech nerds, people are not interested in modular smartphones. They prefer to buy new phones every year. All brands who were offering modular, have discontinued due to poor demand.
This year Fairphone presents another attempt to make a modular smartphone.
The military is already split, retarded, gay, whatever. But I assure you both sides do not want a war, and this Jew war bullshit is redpilling so many people hard right now.
It's doubtful we could defend our three aircraft carriers in the strait of Hormuz from Iran missiles and would likely lose at least one. That would literally change the perception of power throughout the world when people know their vulnerable. It's the bluff you kind of never want to see called the old illusion of projection of power only works if you think they're impenetrable.
Iran's show of force against the iron dome has shown aircraft carriers are now ancient technology.
In any future long distance war it's long distance missiles that will rule the skies and the battlefield. Even jet fighters almost don't matter.
Israel says they rule the skies over Iran but what I ran is showing is that's old thinking and it no longer matters. They can pop up and fire five or 10 or 20 missiles in 5 minutes from hiding places it doesn't matter if Israel thinks they own Iran skies because I ran can inflict heavy damage on Israel without its guys. It doesn't need aircraft.
And if one of Iran's missiles was able to take out one of the US carriers around the strait of Hormuz then all the carriers in the world going to different ports around the world to threaten other countries would no longer matter because the race to develop similar weapons by every single small country in the world would happen so quickly that they would no longer be threatened by aircraft carriers.
The biggest mistake Trump could make is to put those aircraft carriers in danger because only by them not being in danger is the illusion of projection of power still maintained. Once one is lost the illusion of America's ability to project power is suddenly gone.
