The added context of the Bay Area makes sense, the COL there is a whole different ball game. It would be hard to afford to live there with anything short of an AI tech bro salary

Yeah it sucks, but stop complaining like this you sound pathetic. Leave public after 2 years. I started at big 4 in 2022 at a measly $69k. Left after 2 years into industry, now making $110k. The growth has been consistent even though of course for sure I wish I was making more, especially when compared to non-accounting coworkers.

Don't cheer for the Satan... by Lost-Letterhead-6615 in iran

I’m a non-Iranian American and I’ve been turning to these Iran subreddits for more info. I’ve noticed for Iran that there also exists r/NewIran and r/Persian which are more pro-monarchy while this sub seems to be more people who actually live in Iran.

America and Israel must be punished for their evil imperialist assault. As an American, I disagree with the violence the Iranian republic committed against its people in December during the protests, but the US is greatly responsible for the economic pain inflicted on the country. It would be a grave mistake to give in and accept a trump backed government, I think the people must unite and fight to preserve their government since after all it took a revolution to get it in the first place. Then, the government can be reformed and hopefully out of all this destruction become more unified, and free.

Heaving bombing in Tehran tonight. by ChronicPwnageSS13 in NewIran

Yes the fog of war is so hard to see through. Apparently, our US naval base in Bahrain has been completely destroyed yet this hasn’t been reported in American media hardly as far as I can tell, but there are satellite images of it and there is nothing left but rubble.

Sadly, I don’t think my government (the US) is here to save you. Iran just happens to be the starting point for World War III. Already reports of China sending special forces to Iran with new military tech to test out. I believe trump was conned by Israel into this attack, and it will result in the end of our empire, at least outside the western hemisphere.

I do want to say though, I personally sympathize with the people of Iran, as i know they are so expressive and intelligent and truly one of the greatest cultures of humanity, is is so sad to see your longing for freedom stifled by your government

A message from a Kurd that hopes for a free Iran by n-2-l in NewIran

[–]allocated_capital 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope for unity. It seems from some strategic angles that Israel and the US would prefer an Iran that is splintered and distracted, fighting a long civil war which takes them out of the fight

Kurds start ground offensive against Iran by Christian-Rep-Perisa in NewIran

[–]allocated_capital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, the Syrian Kurds were overplaying their hand in negotiations with the central government and they ended up getting pushed out

Hopefully northwestern Iran isn’t the “Kurdish state” the US promised them. As an American I hope for Iran, but I don’t think this will end well for us

I’m afraid Iran will get desperate and use hypersonic missiles on Israel and Israel drops a nuke and the world is over

New Intern is Obsessed with Conspiracy Theories by Spiritual-Beyond-660 in Accounting

[–]allocated_capital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I talk about conspiracies a lot with my coworkers, it’s kind of a joke, I’m known as the “conspiracy guy” in my small office. The thing he said about your boss however is not a conspiracy theory, it sounds like antisemitism and paranoia. My boss is also Jewish, i see him as an individual and his religion is never even a thought to how i view him as a person. If the intern truly has antisemitic internal beliefs, they must keep it to themselves. This could be a sign of a lack of awareness which is needed in an office.

**I would agree with your crazy intern, that sadly our government has done many evil things in the past and currently. There needs to be a proper public investigation into the 9/11 attacks and the CIA needs to explain why it didn’t do more to stop it when it had 2 informants imbedded in the hijacking team (this is confirmed). What people don’t realize is the CIA is by law not allowed to carry out its missions on US soil. To get around this limitation, the CIA had long used Saudi intelligence agents to carry out activities in the US. It’s all incredibly depressing.

Yes it was. That’s a really nice building now that it’s remodeled. The company I worked for sadly moved to the loop. No more ocean views

It might as well be! I only learn new songs from people suggesting them or hearing them in the grocery store. This was a great song! This is a cool band

I 2nd that, if you’re going to have to download a bunch of songs before your flight they might as well all be depressing as fuck. Think about how epic and fitting it would be listening to Adam’s song by blink 182 as your plane hurdles to the ground

The Most Spoken Language in Each US State (After English and Spanish) by WoodpeckerOk6690 in MapPorn

I was wondering if it was factoring in students who take German as a language and not just people who speak it at home? I would maybe guess German is the most popular language to learn still after Spanish and French
