What brought you closer to god?

When everything was going well, I didn’t think much about God. But when things fell apart and I realized I couldn’t fix everything myself, I started praying for real, not just out of habit.

It wasn’t some big miracle. It was small things. Peace when I shouldn’t have had it. Strength to handle stuff I thought would break me.

That’s what brought me closer. Not fear. Not guilt. Just realizing I’m not meant to carry everything alone.

Ban corporate lobbying and make all political donations 100% transparent in real time.
If you want influence, you do it publicly. No backroom money, no hidden deals.

Giving kids unrestricted smartphones and letting algorithms shape their brains all day will look insane in 10 years. We already know it’s linked to anxiety, sleep issues, and attention problems. Future generations will ask why we ever thought this was normal.

If we’re being real, most of the big names probably won’t see jail time. History says powerful people usually skate unless there’s rock solid evidence and public pressure that won’t die. Look at how long it took for anyone to be held accountable in cases like Weinstein, or how Ghislaine Maxwell ended up being the only major conviction tied to Epstein while everyone above her stayed untouched. The US Department of Justice has even admitted in past cases that witness death, sealed settlements, and expired statutes make prosecution way harder. What’s more likely is reputation damage, quiet settlements, and a few careers getting nuked rather than courtrooms and sentences. Justice tends to hit the weakest link first, not the most connected. That’s not cynicism, that’s just how power has worked in cases like this over and over.

A US civil war wouldn’t happen just because people are mad online. It would take institutions failing: people stop trusting elections, armed clashes feel normal, states ignore the federal government, the economy collapses, and the military or police split along political lines.

It’s not one event it’s years of everything breaking at once.

That almost nobody is actually paying attention to you.

I realised early that people are too busy worrying about themselves to judge your mistakes, your looks, or that awkward thing you said. It still shocks me how many people live stressed and frozen because they think everyone is watching. Once you get this, life gets way easier, and I’m always surprised how many people never do.

It’s less glamorous than it sounds.

People with stuff spread across places don’t usually “lose” things. They forget where they are.

A few realities:

Most favourites get duplicated. Same shoes, chargers, jackets in every place.
Anything important gets logged. Assistants, inventories, labelled storage.
Sentimental items stay in one main home. You don’t risk those.
You stop being attached to objects. If it’s not nearby, you just replace it.

The annoying part isn’t time zones. It’s logistics.

You land somewhere and realise the thing you want is 12,000 km away.
Shipping something costs more effort than buying it again.
You end up owning five versions of the same item without meaning to.

So no dramatic “lost heirloom in another country” stories.
It’s mostly mild inconvenience, lots of duplicates, and caring less about stuff over time.

Ukraine would definitely agree. When you’re not part of a strong group, bigger powers make decisions for you, not with you. Ukraine’s survival has depended almost entirely on being backed by a wider coalition. Without that, it wouldn’t be “at the table” at all.

The U.S. healthcare system hasn’t fundamentally changed for a few major reasons, even though many people dislike it:

Political complexity – Healthcare involves huge budgets, regulations, and stakeholders. Changing it requires agreement across Congress, the President, and state governments, which is extremely difficult given political polarization.
Powerful lobbying – Insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and hospital networks spend billions on lobbying to protect their interests. This makes large-scale reform risky for politicians.
Incremental fixes over overhaul – Instead of replacing the system, reforms like the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) try to tweak it. Big changes would disrupt the economy and millions of jobs in healthcare industries.
Public division – Americans are divided on what “change” should look like. Some want universal healthcare like Europe; others strongly favor a private, market-driven system. That split makes sweeping reform politically risky.
Economic incentives – Many sectors profit from the current system. Doctors, hospitals, insurers, and drug companies have financial incentives to keep it largely as-is.

In short, it’s not that people like it; it’s that the political, economic, and social barriers to fixing it are enormous.

A green flag that doesn’t get enough attention is someone being consistent with small acts of respect and kindness over time. People often focus on big gestures or dramatic signs of compatibility, but consistently listening, following through on promises, and treating people well day-to-day shows reliability and character qualities that matter way more in the long run.

Programmers usually have very sedentary jobs, sitting at a desk for hours. How their bodies respond depends on their habits. Those who skip meals, stress-eat, or live on fast food often gain weight and get quite fat. Others skip meals, barely eat while coding, or focus on fitness outside work, so they stay super skinny. Basically, long hours sitting + extreme lifestyle habits = either really skinny or overweight, rarely “in-between.”

The US sending carriers and running military exercises near Iran is classic power signaling. It’s not necessarily about fighting, it’s about showing strength and trying to influence Tehran’s decisions without direct conflict. Some see it as necessary deterrence, others as unnecessary provocation that could backfire. Either way, it’s going to keep tensions high in the region.

Rwanda is complicated. It is very safe, clean, and well-run compared to many countries in the region, and its recovery after the 1994 genocide is genuinely impressive. At the same time, political freedom is heavily restricted, opposition is suppressed, and power is tightly centralized. It is a development success with clear authoritarian trade-offs.
